He WAS GAME.

An Experience of Bob Taylor When He
Started Out to Lecture.
when the late Senator Bob Taylor
first went upon the lecture platform
he was in bad financial fix. but II a
crowd Of his down In Taylor. Tex, had
known II we would not have played
such a mean game on him." said Colo
mel Albert W. Carpenter of the Lone
Star State.
Little did we know at the time Of
the glorious nature and generous soul
lars and died penniless.
what we did was to dragon this
orator after the delivery OF his speech
into Joining an absurd sort Of secret
society. AS part of the ridiculous
initiation he was sworn to set up a
dinner TO all present Immediately on
the adjournment OF the lodge There
was good big crowd Of us, and the
eating and drinking came to Just about
500, or exactly what Bob Taylor had
netted by his talk. Subsequently he
confessed to n friend that after paying
the score he had barely enough cash to
enable him to pay railroad fare out Of
the town.
"a year later he came back to our
burg, and the whole community turned
out to hear him. Never did man get
a more catering ovation in a small vii
lage. The profits OF his lecture this
time were $500. Before leaving US
somebody reminded him Of his previ-
GUS visit, whereupon the genial Bob
laughlngly inquired what motive had
animated us in thus despoillng him.
We just wanted to see, governor, IL
you were game spoke up one Of the
townsmen, and In recounting the affair
later Bob Taylor always added, You
can bet your life l was glad that I had
proved game "-Los Angeles Times.

NAPoLEoN's DESTINY.

Summed Up In Four Notices Bona
parte Learned at School.
In 1874 Bonaparte, then fifteen years
old, arrived at the military school OF
Paris from Brienne, being one Of four
under the conduct OF a minim priest.
He mounted 173 steps, carrying his
small vahse. and reached. in the attic.
the barrack chamber he was to occupy.
This chamber had two beds and
small window opening on the great
yard Of the school. The young prede-
cessors OF Bonaparte had bescrawled
the whitewashed walls with charcoal.
and the newcomer could read In this
little cell these four Inscriptions. which
we ourselves read there years ago:
An epaulet is very long to win
De MontRivray.
The finest day In life is that Of bat
tle.-vicomte de Tinteniac.
Life is but a prolonged lie.-Le Che
Waller Adolphe Delmas.
The end Of all is six feet Of earth.
lie Comte de la Villette.
With the trifing substitution OF the
word empire for "epaulet'' these four
sentences contain the whole destiny of
Bonaparte and formed a kind Of
"Mene. Tekel. Upharsin," written in
advance upon that walL.-Victox Hugo

GOT A FULL VOTE.
Even Though They Had to Go to Jail to
Saouro lt.

Even Though They Had to Go to Jail to
Secure Il.
That they had some rather advanced
ideas as to the means Of getting out
the vote" In New England a century
ago is shown by an extract from DR..
EanSs History Of Marthas Vineyard"
The voting. which occurred In 1907,
was on the question of the removal of
the county seat.
Extraordinary means were taken to
get out a full vote in Edgartown. The
sailing Of ships was delayed for weeks
SO that their crews might vote, and on
the day Of the town meeting It was
found that the contest between the
two factions was to be close.
Some one suggested that there were
several voters who. unfortunately de-
prived of their liberty, were anguish
ing in the town jail, and II the jailer
would kindly allow them to step
across the street and vote 1t would
consume but a few moments Of the
time the prisoners owed to the coun-
ty. The jailer did not feel that he had
the right to allow a general jail de-
livery even for such a worthy object,
although 1t might save Edgartown.
1t was then proposed that the ballot
box be carried over to the gentlemen
who were incarcerated. The point
was then raised that all ballots must
be cast in open meeting and in the
presence Of the election officials. New
ertheless astute minds found q way
out of this awkward dilemma. A mo-
ton was made and carried that the
meeting adjourn to the Jail. There the
ballot box was carried to the door of
each prisoners cell. and the imprison-
ed voters reached through the bars
and deposited their ballots.
