La EOllcttc'S Cat Tale.

New York Times.
Senator La Toilette, apropos Of the
campaign contributions investigation
said to a Washington correspondent:
1T used IL be that the party bribed
the voter. y 0w, it seems, the voter
bribes the party-and not with a IS
bill or so, but with quarter millions.
Il suppose that vicissitudes like
that of the Nola Chucky cat no longer
happen to electioneers.
AN electiOncer, you know, visited
Nola Chucky man to get his vote
The man himself was out, but his
wife said:
L can't promise you nothing
about Jonathan, sir. He's ii.depend-
ent. He'll vote as seems best to him
self
THE electioneer, after being as
agreeable as possible, rose to go. But
first he patted wretched, NANCY
kitten on the womans lap.
I'm very fond Of cats he said. I
shouldn't mind giving you SIS for that
one
The woman jumped at the offer.
She locked the IS in a drawer. she
put the cat in q basket and, as she
ushered the man out with his pur-
chase on his arm, she said:
'km do the best can for you
ohPe shat vote, sir. As I told you be-
fore, Jonathan won't be influenced by
anybody The gentleman that's cleo
tioneering for your opponent spent a
full OF here with me uselessly yes
terday, and by the way, he bought
the brother Of that kitten of yours
for $l0.'"
