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::.-!
"Mr wile wants (!:e coney"
"It lit de won't get i:
'l don't know what Oi: ' harch wt't
"
T;.ir-- for on, elder, but In tl';i
von may become a real old eo"t. Ycu
may win out on this and s . p in .lac!;

To the a.-tonKliuieiit of a large share
of the voters of tiorman. the elder'"
candidate won out. and lie wa 011
hand at an early h'Mtr to claim hN
stakes. HI rejoicing was darkened,
however, when charges were bnnuiit
against him iu his church nnd he wis
summoned for trial, lie expected t:e
worst, but he d! lift get it. The mid
ini:s read:
"He could have been more wlelicd
nnd bet -' cents 4
"He helped to eVct Ms candidate
"He ha put the "o cents In the eon
trlhntton b.
"He won't ever do it a en In
