paign. Uncle Joe made a lot of
speeches in that particular campaign.
and was there to make a stenographic
report and transcript of them. In
one western city the speaker was talk
ing to tremendous crowd of people,
when suddenly without warning. the

house in total darkness
For fifteen minutes, perhaps, the
speaker talked on in the darkness. It
was up to me. of course, to make a
report of his speech. and | did. Nat

made my notes unusually large, so
| would have no trouble in reading
them When the lights were restored
| was right there with the speaker,
and made an accurate transcript of
his speech. Some of the newspaper
boys heard of the story and published
it as a marvellous feat.
The fact is, it was not at all diff
cult to follow the former speaker He
is not rapid talker. and | had no
trouble in taking his remarks
