Furthermore, How Nice
the Candidate Talks to
Us Before He Is Elected

We were walking down Griswold-st.
There was a crowd on the corner as
we approached.
In that crowd there was a young wo-
man--a very pretty young woman.
The very pretty young woman wore
the sweetest Of smiles, AND, Of all
things, it was aimed at US, fixed on us.
KEPT on US.
Ye gods and little fishes
Why should young woman-a pretty
young woman-single us out in a crowd
to smile at?
Pursuing the even tenor of our way.
remaining faithfully at our work. going
to bed early of nights, unless indulging
in nothing more extravagant than ami
mated pictures, and trying to get out of
debt, had we all the while, all uncon-
sciously and innocently, been playing the
part Of an ideal in this pretty young wo-
mans dreams2
Could it be possible that we had been
picked out in that crowd, by a YOUNG
and PRETTY woman, for an affinity?
Could it be possible that this young
and pretty woman saw in us the man
she had pictured in the kind of thoughts
that come to young women with sunset;
with the rising, creeping moon with
moonbeams on the water, down to which
there leads lovers lane; or thoughts
that come to young women with all the
other movie effects?
Could it be possible that in us the
young, pretty woman had discovered the
man she would have take her up a wind
ing path leading to a lonely rock over
looking the oceans expanse, and while
gazing with her into the pink and gold
of the west, sing to her Love Me and
the World Is Mine?"
Could it be possible that she saw in us
the man she would have dash up on a
foaming steed while the auction sale was
on, bid in the old home, give it back to
her father and claim the hand of the
daughter?
Could it be possible that she saw in
us the gallant general Saberlng his way
through the thick of the fight, up to the
enemy's line and there thrusting the
flags staff into the mouth Of the enemy
cannon, only to get mortally wounded
just before the battle had been won on
account of our superior leadership?
Could it be that she saw in us her
general, her hero, convalescing on a hos
pital cot while she brought a bunch Of
forget-me-nots every morn and sat there
and read us novels?
Could it be that she saw in us the
only man by whom she would care to be
rescued and carried down an icy ladder
from the seventh floor Of a burning fat
building?

other young woman. as pretty, II not
prettier, by George, than the frst-the
one that smiled at us.
We didn't get a pleasant look.
As we said, we had been tagged.
And she could see by the tag that we
had been tagged.

There could be no such sudden trans
formation in man, particularly II his
case were as hopeless Of betterment at
all.
Adonis comes from far being our mid
die name.
There was probably nothing about US
as a baby TO warrant taking a chance on
any such name.
But, by the graces, the young and
pretty woman kept her gaze and that
