Love and
theLionS
By Fl. M. EGBERT

barrett was surprised to find at
least dozen other men waiting for
the position. OF course a man out
OF position is not ver-particular
what work he tackles, but it was GER
tainly surprising that so many others
were willing to tackle that especial
job.
barrett would have hated to have
had Lorna know what he was plan
ming to do They had been engaged
for a year, and were to be married a
year later. The young man had a
good position but he found himself
on the eve of his vacation with exact
ly twenty-five dollars too little. He
wanted to spend two glorious weeks
at Lorna's home town. With his pres.
ent capital he could spend but one.
He felt willing to do almost any
thing for twenty-five dollars. Conse.
quently, when he saw in an advertise.
ment that strong young man, not
afraid of lions, was wanted at the
menagerie Immediately, he hurried
away as fast as he could go. He had
an idea that he could raise that TWEEN
ty-tive dollars within the first week
of his three, leaving him two with
Lorna.
AS he waited outside the tent the
manager, heavy man with an un-
shaven jowl and black mustache,
came out and stood surveying the as,
semblage with sneering glare Then
his eyes fell upon barrett, and he
smiled.
"I'll take you, young feller," he said
Beat it, the rest of youse.'
Slowly and without spirit the hag-
gard-eyed ones dispersed. The man.
ager called barrett inside the tent,
where a dilapidated-looking individ-
ual stood with downcast eyes.
"You amt afraid to tackle the
lions, hey?" he asked.
NO" said barrett.
Then this here is the game" said
the manager. Il wanted a strong.
healthy young man that wasn't afraid,
to marry lady IN the lions cage.
You fill the bill Hey, what's the mat
ter?"
Il guess I've got cold feet" said
barrett. Il didn't know"
See here, young feller You've
got me wrong You don't really mar.

CLARKsBURG, Oct. 1s.-Democra-
tic newspapers have been printing

picture Of Governor Hatfield, and the
inscription III. D. Hatfield for U. 8.
Senator" Governor Hatfield, in an
address in Marion county several days
ago, took cognizance Of this petty
method Of campaigning. and said that
he was In total ignorance Of the origin
Of this advertising fob. and did not
understand purpose Of 1t but yet he
believed it to be Democratic plot.
The truth Of the origin Of the fob Is
contained In q letter written to Ma.

pared so as to have them on hand
when would be making my regular
January trip to West Virginia.
Before I started on the trip learn.
ed that Governor Hatfield would not
be a candidate and I merely put one
or two samples Of the article In my
case to illustrate campaign work on
buttons, watch fobs. etc.
So 'ar Governor Hatfield Is con.
Ger has never, to my knowledge
seeL Of these samples and prob.
ably does not know they were ever
made up.
1t Is my regular method of beating
the other fellow to it to have actual
samples. with portrait and wording all
properly shown and flash them on the
prospective candidate at the earliest
possible opportune moment
No one except me and nv factory
knew of the preparation Of these Hat.

related the joke on me. viz was a lit.
