Nrt To (irnnl llntf . 4 baby say? CUSTOMER Cor. l'iuo and H'oi.h!:i The town of Urn-man hud never ltceii greatly interested iu candidate; or elec tions. There, were ,110 political husses, no (jrnfterrt. and the candidates select ed to run for town of lice were of the nest, ti fid It made little dUYerence who was elected. A change was ot hand, however, but no one suspected it until it came down upon the town like a roaring lion. Henry Jackson was one of the men who traveled the country over, taking ofders for the1 articles turned out at the factories, and one morning, as hp returned from a trip, he met Klder Scott in front of the postotlice: "Howdy, elder?" Hays Mr. Jackson. "A little rheumatic. Ilianlt you," re plies the elder. "Politics warming up here any?" "Not that 1 have heard of." "It's red hot outside." "Well, let 'em go It. I've made up my mind who 1 shall vote for for presi dent, but I'm not going to do any yell ing about It." "IJIank is your man. of course?" "He is that. He'll sweep the coun try." "He'll sweep nothing! You old dozers here had b t" wake up as to what is going i1' 1111,11 won't be Uuee high when the votes are counted." Now. what followed the elder could never clearly explain. He had nevel done the .like before, and he didn't mean to do.lt then. Something cam3 over him of n sudden, and he got mad for the first time In seventeen years and raised his voice to say: "Don't call me an old dozer! 1 dor care what they suy outside. My man 1h s;ire of election." "So is Tom Jones!" "Don't imagine you know it all!" "And dou't Imagine you know any thing at all about it. Why. man. your party leaders gave the thing up weeks ago" Hy this time a score of men had as sembled to hear the discussion, and the elder was put on his mettle. lie was the only man in Gorman who had evet predicted a blizzard and had It arrive on time, and he didn't want to Inse his prestige. He drew a long breath and. to the horror of his friends, called out; "My candidate will bo elected, nnd I'll bet on it J" "How much?" asked Mr. Jackson ns his hand went to his pocket. "A dol-that Is. I will bet 10 cents!" "Hoot won, but that is not even a baby's bet!" "Then, by gosh, 111 make it IB!" "Say $10." "No. Fifteen cents is my limit." As Mr. Jackson could not get the figures raised, he nccepted them, and the money was placed in the postmas ter's hands. It was spoken of ns the highest election bet ever made In that town, and inside of two hours it seem ed that 200 men had heard of it. Some complimented the elder ou his nerve, and some shook their heads and pre dicted that it would turn out a bad thing for the town. The enormity of his offense did not occur to the elder until the next day. when his good wife heard of tho wager and tackled him with: "And you made an election bet with Mr. Jackson the same as a loafer would!" "It was only for IB cents. "Rut I could have used It to buy 0 roller towel, and then look nt the prin ciple of the thing! 1 can't believe It of you. What are Christian men nnd women going to say?" "Hut Jackson tried to bluff me down" "S'posln he did? It's the duty of an elder of the church to be bluffed." "Darn him. he tackled me when folks were around!" "See! See!" exclaimed the wife. "First you make a bet and then yon swear Th" mrt thin-.; will be sivht plm: horses!" , "You know I dMln't mean to he i wicked." pleaded the eMer. "Hut It win wicked to bet. and you go straight t the pnt master and go! that money hark and give it to me" "(Mi. no. you don't!" replied the post master when the good man sneaked into the otMce and hl-Miertmrly asked to draw his money down "Hut It was what they rail a bluff." "I don't ee It that wa v Von must hnw Mr. Jackson's i-on-.t'iil . Have yon .-nt fold fct't so s.ionV" ' The eMer looked down at hi feel ''and shu"!cd them nr e-nd as he would feel of tK'in and s::.-!
