| GREAT MEETING
absurd pranks the candidates were
compelled to perform. They test 4
man in many ways, and always those
| things hardest for the poor candidate
to do are the very things selected for
him to do. So that is why BrownloW
Jackson, whose republicanisn is of
the Rock of Ages kind and is as close
to him almost as his religion, that is
/ the reason he was told to carry a ban-
ner endorsing Mr.. Wilson for a third
term and why he carried a card on his
back proclaiming 81 am a Democrat"
much like the lte famous David Hill
of New York.
For the same reason F. S. Wetmur
was instructed to have charge of the
| street dance-and F. S. Wetmur does
not approve of street dances, it is
quite needless to say. But he did it
F! and turned the joke neatly by asking
his tormenters if they noticed the
good people who patronized the street
dance when it was known that he
was in charge.
G. NJ. GIazener had a hard time
very hard time. He said he was tfr-
ed, and weary, and also hot So they
made him sit on a nice cool chunk of
ice. They put a dog collar on him
and tried to sell him for a dog, but it
was observed that he chased chickens
and so no one would buy him.
Nathan Brenner and Archie Covinc-
ton, two dignifed men, had tc shine
shoes, but the shines were perfectly
good ones.
Rolled Peanut
Wiltshire Griffith Iabored hard in the
hot sun pinching an awfulIy small
peanut up Main street with the aid Of
giant crowbar. Unless you have
tried this you know not the joy of it
especially when few thousand reo-
pie are cheering you on.
Alex Patterson was in a cage, in a |
bath tub. He didn't have on what
you might call an elaborate wrdrobe /
Josh Rhodes wheeled Charley Nor !
row around in baby carriage. Char
ley was attired in simple and a very !
scant suit, as most babies are. The !
worst prt of it all was when he was
rUdely dumped from the protection of |
the baby carriage and compelled to
walk down the crowded street to-
where some real clothes were lie
says he will never forget it. Others
have been heard to make the same re-
mark.
Hilliard Station, dignifed, and vice..
president of the million dollar bank.
was 'cop" for the day and twirled
his club with all the grace OF life
long member of the force. He stuck
to the job, however, until tacy ,old
him it was time to qu:r
S. H. Hudgins rode a jackass up
and down Main stree. The jachaSs
was small and sorrowful looking and
the legs cf it's rider are Io.g. To-
ge:her they produced an eject which
is somewhat hard to describe by any
one lacking a facile pen or we'll oiled
typewriter.
C. N. Allison rode in the convict
cage-which, it is now remembered,
had not been deloused before the
of great wealth were en-
closed therein. Alton Keith and Dr.
hunter and many others we're righ:
there, loo, all of them doing Things
they we're surprised to find themselves
doing, and which they really never
expected to do. But they did th4In.
