TWO STORIES OF THE STUMP
Occasional Flashes Of Humor That En-
Ilven tho Dry Work Of a Political
Campaign.

Two good campaign stories are going
the rounds of congress. says the st.
Louis Republic, both at the expense of
Ohioans who were chairmen Of par
tisan meetings held In the Buckeye
state. Former President Taft was the
victim of the first presiding officer
who, impressed by the Importance of
his job. made the usual tiresome in
troductory speech.
The audience was about to stampede
when the chairman, having reached
high rate of speed, rushed into the
field of historical parallels. He chose
for one illustration that moth-eaten
tale about the little drummer who was
ordered by his general to get out his
drum and beat retreat.
"But the brave little drummer boy
did he obey?" roared the speaker. "No,
he did not. He said to his general,
Sir, my drum knows no retreat Let
me beat you charge, such charge as
has never been made before. Let us
beat 1t let me beat IT."
"All right, beat it, beat It." came
roar from the audience. And the chair
