The village politicians were gath
cred in the postoffice discussing the
possibilities for the coming local cam.
paign. There was a lamentable lack
of Congressional timber. None of the

Finally Lew Parker had a brilliant
idea. Splitting authoritatively in the
general direction of the cuspidor he
remarked:

good man, a mighty good man, a man
