court Of the pious King Gradlon and

asked her to obtain for him the silver
key which fastened the sluice gates In
the city wall. Dahut accordingly sto,e
the key from her fathers neck while

ELECTION STRATEGY.
Incident of an Old Time English Par
Iiamentary Contest.

Incident of an Old Time English Par
liamentary Contest.
In the days before the institution OF
the secret ballot. when the candidate
with the longest purse usually won an
election, a former Lord Dundonald
who refused to give bribes. contested
Honiton, but was beaten by an oppo-
nent who paid his electors at the rate
Of co vote.
Then the unsuccessful candidate
conceived this brilliant plan, says the
writer Of history Of the Dundonald
family. He announced to his friends
that he was quite determined to win
the seat next time without bribery
Then he sent the town cfier round the
town to announce that all who had
voted for him in this first election might
repair to his agent. from whom they
would receive $40
As comparatively few people had
voted for him. this was not very ex
pensive process. And at the next elec-
ton Lord Dundonald was elected by
an enormous majority. After the tri
umph several people came TO him and
delicately suggested that some reward
was due to such loyalty.
"Not a farthing." was the reply.
But, my lord. you gave fl0 head
to the minority at the last election. and
the majority have been counting on
something handsome on this occasion" T"
perhaps so" said the clever candl-
date. "My former gift was for their
disinterested conduct in not taking my
opponents bribe Of f5 For me to pay
them now would be to violate my own

BOYS ESCAPE
From Plankinton Train j n g
School and Have Hard
Time

Plankinton, Feb. 10. Making their
escape from the state training school
here, and being exposed to the severe
cold all the night long, nearly caused
the death of Leo Elliott and Henry
Lunds, two lads who have been con
fined in the institution. 1t was a bitter
cold night when the boys managed to
get away and they walked q distance
of nine miles before they found a place
where they could be taken in from the
cold. They stopped at a vacant house
on a farm along about midnight, but
found nothing in which they could
build a fire and sc they started it on
the floor. In a few moments the
building took fire and it was entirely
destroyed. 1t was not until several
days afterward that the farmers
around there learned how the house
burned down. Along toward morn.
ing, with their feet partly frozen, the
boys struck the house of a farmer
who took them in and made them as
| comfortable as possible. Suspecting
that they had broken out of the school,
the farmer called the sheriff wei the
telephone, and he went out and got
them. Yesterday it was necessary to
amputate several of the toes on each
foot, but aside from that the boys
| will pull through. Elliott who lives
at Sioux Falls, escaped from the sch Dol
last summer, but was caught.
