Hut Ha Dun Waited to Fool with ft ll'nr. It was a stato election In Alabama, and among tho crowd filling; tho llttlo town where I happened to bo stopping wero somo queer characters. Among tho queerest were an old man and his sou tho father nlxnit 00 years old, tho son about to cast his first voto. Tho boy had primed up pretty well and by 10 o'clock In tho forenoon ho was saying: "Father, git ten men to hold me, fur if I turn loo) this town won't bo nowhar'l" "Ho calm, Jonas, bo calm," ndvbed tho old man as ho putted him on tho shoulder, "Whoopl yll ytl Whar's tho critter as says ho will challcngo my fust voto!" "Thar's no critter wiyln' anything of tho sort, Jonas. J 1st bo qulot. Don't Ik) raisin' jour voice too much." Jonas circulated around for a whllonml then enmo back to tho tavern stew and saldt "Father, I'vo got to turn loose," "Bhool Jonnsl" "But I hov. I'm n-goln' to cut loose and go fur tho hull crowd, fur 1 can't hold mysolt no longer." At that moment a Turk or Bohemian or foreigner of somo sort camo up with a hand organ and a dancing bear, nml I saw n now idea striko Jonas llko a landslide. Tho father saw it, too, and ho protested: "Now, Jonas, ilonn' mako no critter of yo'solf. You jlst lot that b'ar alono." "Pop, I'm gwlno tcr clinch him, lie's alto gether too funny fur this ycro locality." "You'll git busted, Jonas. H'nrs Is oncry varmints." "Got to do it, pup. I'm bubbllti' up llko bllln' soap suds and sumpthln' has got tor bo dono or tho biler will glvo way. Stand back! Whoopee 1" Every citizen of tho town heard his yoll. Tho bear was alxmt llvo rods away, going through n waltz, and ho stopped his move ments to sco what was going to happen. Jonas mndo a beo Hub for him, and as ho camo within six foot ho rose in tho air and camo down astrido of Uruin and grabbed him by tho ears and yelled. "America ngin tho hull nlrthl Whoopl" It was in tho mlddlo of tho street and tho street was dusty. Thereforo I can't swear as to what took placo during tho next two min utes. When tho foreigner pulled his bear off thero was a bundlo of something lying in tho dust. It looked llko old clothes, but it turned out to bo Jonas. Ho wasn't saying a word. Ho didn't know it when Uio fathei and two others lifted him over against the fence and got water from tho town well to jiour over him. It was a full quarter of nu hour bofore ho opened his eyes and faintly asked: "Father, did I clean out tho hull crowd I" "No, Jonas. You tackled that b'ar agin my advice." "And kerwollotivd htm." "Skecreely. You'vo dun got tho wust inaulln' over heard of." "Licked i" "I should obsarvo. You's bit, clawed, knocked , rolled, paralyzed and broke, and you won't bo fltten to work fur a month.
