The politician who is following the
calling for a livelihood eats, drinks
and sleeps politics. You cannot get
him off the track. He finds little in
terest in anything else. All his read
ing, outside of the papers, is on po
litical topics. He keeps track of past
elections and past ward votes, knows
how his ward has gone, will go. and
ought to go in the future. He is the
life of all political assemblages, fo"
he has the air of the expert and the
glibness of an ‘ illustrated lecturer."
He attends the "wakes,” funerals,
dances, parties, baseball and football
games, christenings, church fairs, pic
nics aud all other social happenings,
and gets himself voted “the most pop
ular man" whenever he has a chance.
***** *
I remember that at one political
Jamboree there was a “beauty show"
and 1 was appointed one of the judges.
The other two judges were “pulling
together," and I saw 1 was ‘ double
crossed" before the “beauties" went
on the platform. In front of the plat
form there was a big crowd on the
chairs, and they were filled by the re
spective adherents of the contesting
“fair." I had innocently supposed
that things were "on the square" until
I was approached by one of the judges
with the idea that the first prize ought
to go to a certain girl who, to my no
tion. was not within a thousand miles
of being first in the race. I put up
such a fierce "kick" that the other
judges got a little hit uncertain, and
at last, as first and second prizes were
both gold watches, they agreed to let
me select X'o. 2 if 1 would vote for
their choice for first prize.
When X'o. I s name was announced
a groan went up from the crowd, ac
companied by a cheer from one cor
ner of the seats where the winner's
partisans were bunched. When No.
2‘s name was given she was cheered
by a big majority of the crowd, and I
was satisfied my eyesight was still
good. Now for both of these girls the
vote had been solid, three votes for
each. When it came to No. 3—and
there were only three prizes worth
anything—1 did a little “double-cross
ing" myself. One of the judges pro
posed a girl who had a face like a
custard pie at twilight. The other
judge said, "Sure, that's the one!" I
had selected a girl for this prize and
had got her name, so I said to judge
X'o. 2. "Where's your lady?" He
pointed to her and 1 said, "Out of
sight: but we'd better split the votes
this time; you vote for Miss-” giv
ing him the name of my choice—"so
that the crowd won't have any holler
coming on the split; two votes to one
will win out anyway.”
He did as suggested, but as I also
voted for my choice the look of dis
gust that overspread his features
when he saw how he had been "horn
swoggled" was something classic. But
all he said was "Holy gee!”
After a man has been mixed uj> in
politics for a year or so he begins to
perceive that politics has as many an
gles in a social way as the game of
‘ three-cushion caroms." The variety
of gradations is so widely diversified
and the intervals so abrupt that it
takes a truly cosmopolitan spirit to
successfully “take the degrees." At
four o’clock in the afternoon you may
be touching glasses with a young me
chanic at a “rathskeller" in a friendly
chat over your beer as to how things
look in his end of the waid. At 6 p.
m. you may be dining with a bunch of
judges and party magnates in some
fashionable club, making wild guesses
with the rest of them as to how na
tional politics looms up. At twelve
that night you may be addressing for
ty or fifty people in a little hall back
of some saloon. You must be pre
pared to meet all kinds of people at a
minute's notice, and you must be able
to understand them and adapt your
self to them instantly and easily, or
you will be lost in political society.
Suppose you happen to drop in at
down-town headquarters where they
are waiting for a meeting to be called.
There may be twenty to thirty men
about, some sitting in chairs readir
or talking, some at a card-table play
ing a friendly game of cinch, others at
a pool-table or a billiard-table. Can
you play cards? Now. of course, it is
not absolutely essential that you can;
but if you can make a hand at one
card-table or "pocket eight balls from
the break." cr play a fair game of bil
liards you are a more welcome mem
ber of society in that strata of politi
cal existence.
And if it should happen that you
joined a group at some high-toned''
political club, where some topics such
as literature, art, science, invention or
similar matters were being discusse 1.
and could hold your own in convers i
tion, you were "making a hand" there,
the same as at the more plebeian
game of cinch. Nothing that, a man
has learned with his head or his hand.
but what will come in handy in poli
tics.
Political club meetings, in the case
of the down-town organizations, took
place every Sunday in my time. They
were enlivened by the admission of
new members, the reading of reports
and making of morions, speeches, and
always something in the way of a
vaudeville stunt by either a member
of the club or some outside talent.
These down-town meetings were valu
able in bringing the leaders of the
different wards together and affording
them an opportunity to exchange po
litical news and to discuss the coming
spring or fall campaign. They were
always largely attended, and it was a
disgrace for any ward to be called
upon for information of any sort and
not have a representative on hand. A
disgrace that 1 never knew to happen
but once. No matter what the weather
was the “faithful" were on hand.
The president opened the meeting
and the utmost freedom of discussion
was allowed in any debate which
might arise. Sometimes a recess was
declared, and the men talked and
smoked until the meeting was called
to order again. It was amusing to see
how those of the gathering who were
office-holders were regarded. If their
position gave them no “distributive”
power, they were looked on as merely
“happy accidents," and not ranking at
ail with those office-holders who had
“jobs" to sort out. In neither of my
own positions did I have the appoint
ment of even so much as a day-laborer
at my disposal, so 1 was merely "a
lucky guy." In fact I was lucky in
more ways than one. for not having
anything to give out I was not both
ered by applicants.
These meetings always arranged
for the parades, the marching trips
and the ‘'grand halls” which were
given. Don't imagine it did not cost
anything to mingle in political society,
polite and otherwise. You were able
to buy tickets to the balls, chances on
everything that could be raffled for
the benefit of some needy politician,
badges and gloves, plug hats to march
in, together with other raiment, club
I dues, tickets to various dances and
| entertainments, and in fact, front
i morning until night, day in and day
out, to “sift" your salary steadily into
"the hopper."
The “grand balls" were of course
the most important functions given
by the party. They were attended by
everybody, including the mayor, and
he led the grand march. It was a
lively time, and diamonds were as
plentiful as blackberries. Full-dress
suits were largely in evidence, and
the dancing kept up until morning.
At such a ball the extreme opposites
of political life met, once a year, and
the occasion was one to be remem
bered. Judges, with an eye to possible
or probable re-nomination, were not at
all too proud to atteu=, and occasion
ally some of the city's elite attended,
just for the novelty of the thing. A
woman might be led out by an ex
governcr of the state for one set, an.l
the next set—
talcc a turn down the middle
With the man that shot Sandy McGee.”
It was a truly cosmopolitan- gather
ing. unique and picturesque, and rare
ly was there any disturbance that
amounted to anything.
Another and more common phase of
political social life was at the saloons.
Here the ward politicians gathered.
; not only to talk politics, but to roll
I ten-pins, play pool and. at the card
tables. “play for the drinks ” The
amount of social intercourse thus had
i in a large city is enormous. After the
j ordinary ward politician had eaten his
, supper he would be ready to engage
) in his political cruising, and he could
! usually find a bunch of men at the
i bowling alleys, or in the card-room of
j his neighboring saloon. I went
through a great many political figh s
\ and skirmishes, big and little, and ev
] cept just at election times I saw verv
I little drunkenness. Hut there was no
i doubt that the workingmen and me
: chauics gathered at the saloons to
see each other. And there was no
i doubt that they spent money there;
maybe more than they should have
done. But that was where they went
to find companionship; to meet their
“society.” 1 have.often gone to the
: swell political clubs and there met the
j professional men. lawyers, doctors
! and professors, business men of large
j interests in various channels, and
i they sat at the tables and drank their
wine where the ward fellows drank
beer, and they played "bridge" or
“poker" where the ward men played
“cinch.” and when you come to the
question of which is moral and which
is not, I leave it cheerfully to every
j man for himself to judge.
Every year, and always in the good
j old summer-time, the swell picnic was
1 held, generally away out in the coun
try in some grove. And here political
society disported itself in its gayest
and gladdest "rags," and gave itself
up to unalloyed festivities of all sorts
! and kinds. There was the fat man’s
race, the sack race, chasing th°
| greased pig (so politically suggestive),
the tug-of-war between the firemen
j and policemen’s teams, the dances, the
speeches, the bowling alleys, the "nig
I ger baby and baseball” stand, the nm
j nreila and cane game, the lemonade
stands, the wandering minstrels, an 1
j the ’'shell game." You could spend
! your money a little at a time at the
diversified amusements, or you could
j have one swift thrill and lose it all at
I the "shells.”
When the band struck up a favorite
waltz tune at the platform you could
go up and "pivot" with your partner,
just to show that you were not proud,
or that you knew how to "reverse."
Dancing went on all the time, couples
coming and going and round dancing
being succeeded by quadrilles. Some
times a lithe and sinuous jig-dancer
got a space cleared for himself to dis
port in. and great was the enthusiasm
when some girl would accept a chal
lenge and come out on the boards to
do a turn with the jig-dancer. Such ad
vancing and swaying and retreating;
such apparent indifference and then
unexampled vigor; such a hammering
of the boards and turning and twist
ing, until at the end the crowd roared
its approval and the dancers disap
peared among the spectators.
Political society at the picnics, dem
octal ic as it seemed at first blush, had
its lines of demarcation, which were
quite noticeably drawn. The wife and
daughters of the "big boss” were on
hand, together with the women-folks
of the various office-holders, but they
did not mingle with the average lady
picnickers. They sat by themselves
in something of exclusive grandeur,
and were pointed out by the more
ordinary of the merry-makers to their
companions.
Sometimes a possible presidential
candidate graced the occasion by his
presence and consented to hand out a
sample of silver-tongued oratory. But
I never heard one yet who could draw
away any of the attendance at the
baseball game or the fat women's race.
There's a limit, even to oratory.
Great was the consternation when,
as sometimes happened, the flood
gates of heaven opened and drowned
the picnic grounds. The last political
picnic I attended commenced on a
very threatening day, and at last the
ciouds seemed to make up their minds
to sweep the grounds. Our party had
taken alarm, with a number of others,
and had gone down the track to where
the first train to town was stationed.
The crowd got there and jammed the
train instantly. Just opposite the pic
nic ground, and a half mile from us,
was a wide platform, uncovered, on
which stood hundreds who were wait
ing for this train. "Bet her go, Sam.”
said the conductor; "no stop till we
get to Chicago." Away we went, and
as we passed the picnic grounds hun
dreds more came down through the
drenching showers in white dresses
that stuck to their limbs and straw j
hats that were being soaked to ruin, j
But the train went past regardless of i
their yells, and as it went by the car
windows were raised and the chorus
of the latest song was wafted into
their ears:
”Oh' ain't dat awful.
Ain't dat a shame.

Strange Victim of Somnambulism Uses
Two Languages in Trance-Written
Letters—Other Queer Acts of
Sleep-Walkers Recalled.
Eondon.—One of the most remarka
ble eases of sleep-walking ever re
corded has .usr come under the obser
vation of physicians attached to the
general hospital in Birmingham, Eng
land. It is that of a young woman of
21, a stenographer, teacher and stu
dent of music.
Every morning at two. o'clock this
latest subject of somnambulistic phe
nomena gets out of bed in a half-con
scious state, writes letters in German
and English, reads a book and does
some crochet work. Though she does
not seem to be asleep, she does not
recognize anyone and has no realizing
sense of her surroundings. On one
occasion she wrote an intelligent
musical essay on "The Sonata Form”
while in this strange trancelike state,
and at another time, when absolutely
in the dark, wrote a postal card to a
relative in Canada of which she de
clared the next day she had no recol
lection.
While in this state she cannot stand
any light at all. and though the doc
tors have repeatedly examined her
eyes in an effort to determine how she
can read, write and do fancy work in
total darkness, they have been unable
to find any explanation of the phe
nomenon.
Somnambulism, according to physi
cians, is a neurotic condition. Nerv
ousness promotes it, as do worry, pre
occupation and restlessness.
The case of the Birmingham young
woman who wrote an essay while in
the somnambulistic state recalls that
of Miss Eurita D. Metcalf of Chicago.
Somnambulism.
who in 1902 became widely known as
the author of dream stories, composed
while in a trancelike condition. Once,
while this girl of 25 was writing a
story. Dr. Rimes, a physician living
in the same household, held a piece of
pasteboard between her eyes and the
paper oh which she wyas writing.
The young authoress continued her
work, entirely oblivious of the inter
ruption. For a time this young wom
an's romantic dream stories brought
her in a good income.
At Fort Dodge, la., some years ago.
a white-robed figure was seen bi
cycling madly up and down one of the
principal avenues at midnight. Be
lated pedestrians reached their homes
with startling tales of having seen a
cycle-riding ghost.
Finally the ghost was captured and
proved to be a wealthy young woman
somnambulist, who once a week rose
front her bed at 12 o’clock and pro
ceeded to go bicycling in her night
dress.
Rev. Frederick C. Haas of New
ark. after being missing from home
for several weeks, returned finally
with the explanation that he had be
come a sleep-walker while on a train
and woke up finally in the streets of
Chicago, writh positively no idea of
how he came there.
Hardin Hughes, a reputable young
man of Albany, awoke one night to
find himself robbing the post office.
In his sleep he had bored through the
post office door two holes, which re
leased the glass plate, and by the
same method had opened the cash
drawer.
Physicians do not attempt to explain
somnambulism. All the phenomena of
sleep are mysterious, they declare.
There is a theory credited by some
nerve specialists that the actions of
the somnambulist are controlled by
the spinal cord, the brain being so
profoundly asleep that it does not
transmit impressions to the cord.
Hence, they say. somnambulists have
neither sight, hearing nor smell in
the trance, but only the sense of touch.
But no one has yet offered explana
tion of the strange affliction.

CAPE WITH TWO BROKEN RiBS
AND MANY BRUISES.
Laporte, Ind.—William Tolton, who,
five years ago. was saved by the au
thorities from being lynched by an in
furiated mob, at Westville. this coun
ty, under the impression that he had
murdered his wife and thrown her
body into a pond, had another ex
perience the other day with a mo’ .
from which he escaped with two
broken ribs and numerous cuts and
bruises. Though badly beaten, he will
recover.
Tolton. who is a middle-aged man, is
one of the characters of town. He has

when he faced a murder charge till
his wife returned from Chicago,
where she had unexpectedly gone on a
visit, he kept out of serious difficulty
until the other day. when he took a
notion to whip his wife. This trouble
is said to have resulted from the
wife's taking the part of Edith Lang
man, her daughter by a previous mar
riage. whom Tolton had w'hipped be
cause he said she was not behaving.
After Tolton had abused his daugh
ter and the wife expostulated. Tolton
threw his wife and daughter out of the
house, and followed this by pitching
out the furniture with the exception of
a bed. table and a few other articles.
Neighbors were incensed, and when
Tolton left the house they seized him
and gave him such a beating that
when he escaped he returned to the
house and barricaded t! j doors and
windows.
In the meantime an affidavit had
been filed looking to his arrest. A
warrant was issued by Mrs. Clara M.
Hess, said to oe the only woman jus
tice of the peace in the state, but the
town marshal and the township con
stable were unable to dislodge Tolton.
and. although the entire population of
200 people was at their backs, they did
not venture to break into the house.
The siege continued till midnight, and
then Mrs. Hess telephoned to Sheriff
Smutzer of this city. The sheriff sent
Deputies Anstiss and Marr to West
ville in an automobile, all speed laws
being shattered on the run, for it was
feared that the mob might get rest
less and possibly set fire to the Tolton
home.
When the deputies arrived they de
manded that the door be opened, but
Tolton, who had a 12-vear-old son with
him, refused. Then the deputies with
a rail battered down the door, which
had been nailed and bolted from the
inside. Tolton, fully dressed, lay in
bed while the door was being forced,
and he was crying when arrested. At
his side stood a loaded shotgun. When
asked why he did not use it, he
mumbled, "What's the use?” Being
without money or friends, and unable
to give bond, he was committed to
jail to await grand jury action.
