GIRL AND BOSS
When the Wave of Reform Start
ed to Move.
BY GRACE KERRiGAN.

1t had taken Jake Kelly five years
to become the political boss OF the
young city Of Grafton, but he had
reached the pinnacle at last lie had
his newspaper; he owned most OF the
saloons; he owned a majority Of the
aldermen; his ward-heelers were mum
bered by the score.
From the outset, the respectable
element had fought tho 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
did not 60 too fast, but made every
thing solid and lasting, and prepared
m 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 nc
social standing whatever, or aspired
TO any, he was regarded until too late
as an ignoramus who could be
sQuelched whenever the wave Of re
form got ready to move. In due time
It 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 q "dlyyy'
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 back.room pow.wOw in
stead Of letter,writing, When II 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
I'VE shall want about 400 majority
in your precinct. See that we get it,
They always got it, The rciormeri
raised howl about ballot-boX stuhinl
