Was Talking in Canada.
Frederick D. Kllburn, state superintendent of bauklug, made a campaign speech last fall that was for Gov. Roosevelt a record-breaker. Kllburn, the colonel and other spellbinders were touring the extreme northern part of tbe State. Early one morning the engine stopped for water near a lumber camp. KUburu got out on the end of tbe car and delivered a riproaring speech on the evils of Tammany Hall and kindred campaign topics. Tbe lumbermen listened with no show of enthusiasm. A trifle nettled, Kllbum returned to the car. A brakeman noticing bis gloom, said cheerfully: V “Don't mind those French-Canadlaus. “French-Canadlansl”, said Kllburn, with surprise. “Where are we?” “We’re Just over the line In Canada. I thought you knew that,” said tbe brakeman.—New York World.
