Not Familiar to Him.

The political game was wholly new to William 0. L. Ziehn when Harrison, Sears and Harlan fought It out for the mayoralty. He was a pat-tern-maker and lived in the old Fourteenth ward, now the Fifteenth. Mr. Ziehn was persuaded to ran for aiderman and he succeeded in defeating George Mugler. This was after he got going. At the outset campaigning was full of surprises to him, and he was naturally a bit suspicious, of that which he did not understand, \ It was arranged to give him a startoff with a meeting. A vacant store was hired and filled with chairs. At the far end of the store a brewery table was stretched across, draped with an American flag, and behind the table was Joe Strauss. The candidate’s entrance was timed so that he should be greeted by a fuli house, and as he progressed down the aisle Mr. Strauss shouted in welcome: ' “What’s the matter with Ziehn T’ Mr. Ziehn paused, glared at Strauss, : and shouted back: F ■ -t-a? “What the —— Is the matter with you?"—Chicago Evening Post.
