And his mothers schoolmate

His One Vote.

An ambitious man rather unwisely
stood as candidate at one Of the local
elections, and at the close Of the poll
was found to have received only one
vote The candidate was excessively
mortified, and, to increase his chagrin,
his neighbors talked as II 1t were a
matter OF course that he had given
that one vote himself. This annoyed
him SO much that he offered $50 suit
of clothes to his only supporter If the
individual would come forward and show
himself
An Irishman responded to this appeal,
proved his claim, and called for the re-
ward.
How did it happen" inquired the
candidate, taken quite by surprise.
How did 1t happen that you voted for
me?'
Pat hesitated; but, on being pressed,
he answered:
III ] tell you, you won't go back on
the suit OF clothes?"
""oh. no; promise you shall have the
suit anyhow"
well, then, your honor replied Pat,
sure I made mistake in the ballor
paper"
