.sl vi time learning to forget.
MI M :. ." of the candidates who were

W. t,em en Of f their prediction claims.
'.t .Jefeated candidate is usually
oftpr election. He has had a fall.
u sl' time he walked about in the
r..iicht and fed his face on pic,
% 1inners. Now he fain would fill
'nn+omv u,. with husks. Life is real;
.aD a bpcome earnest again; and the
aro nao of oblivion into which he has

uldn't come; he had finally gotten
sleep and the family thought best
to disturb him. Curry was also

only disguise, was on hand;
* Becks and the writer were there,
former in a comatose condition
needing some one to hold his
ID. J.N. Blackwell didn't go along;
had invested in a little forced
eerfuness the night before and it
working well; at least it was fool
