Boss Kelly made the same mistake
that the reformers had made.
When the private secretary had
held her position for a year she was

GIRL and BOSS"
When the Wave of Reform Start
ed to Move.
BY GRACE kERRI0AN.

1t had taken Jake Kelly five years
% become the political boss OF the
young city OF Grafton, but he had
reached the pinnacle at last. He had
ais newspaper; he owned most Of the
saloons; he owned a majority OF the
aldermen: his ward-heelers we're num-
bered by the score.
From the outset, the respectable
element had fought the boss, but Mr.
Kelly's ways were too sly for them.
With every promise of reform on his
part, he drew the chains tighter He
lid not go too fast, but made every
hing solid and lasting, and prepared
an heritage for his old age.
The chief reason why Boss Kelly
got his start and continued to flourish
was that the better class did not size
him up right. Because he could
scarcely write his name and had no
social standing whatever, or aspired
10 any, he was regarded until too late
as an ignoramus who could be
form got ready to move. In due time
1t was ready. and then it was discov-
cred that Boss Kelly owned the town.
For the first two years of his reign
Mr.. Kelly could not see the need of q
private secretary. When a "divvy'
came his way the cash was showed
into his pocket, and the amount was
recorded in his memory alone. When
he had made up his mind as to who
should be the next mayor of the town
there was a Darkroom pow-wow in
stead Of letter-writing. When 1t look
ed as II an election might be close the
boss didn't send out his instructions
In writing. He took little walks under
cover of darkness, and as he leaned
over the bar of this or that saloon he
whispered to the proprietor:

SpecuIation on His Q.mise.

Friends of Masseret say that the
great composer had presentiment of
his approaching death and liked to
speculate on the way in which the
news would be received. This is
borne out by his memoirs, which he
had just completed, for one of the
later pages bears the following entry:
One evening paper, perhaps two,
thought it better to inform their read
ers that l was dead At dinner-time
some people who knew me talked
about the event A few words were
mentioned about it during the day,
and in the theaters in the evening.
oh! he is dead!' said one Then
there won't be so many of his plays
performed in future And my soul
was listening to all the noise of the
city. We, my body and my soul, were
parting. AS the hearse was going
along the noise diminished, and |
knew, inasmuch as ! had taken the
precaution to have my vault some
time before, that when the heavy
stone is sealed up it will be closing

them on the table and wrapped them
In a wet newspaper while waiting for
