Revenge.

1 “So you sent Bill Smiggens to Congress?” “We did,” answered the keeper of the postoffice and general store. “L guess I did as much as any one to get him elected.” “Bill Is a powerful talker. But I didn’t know that you were any particular friend of Mb.” “No. We had a difference long years ago; and I always said I was goin’ to get even. Bill prides himself on Ms speechmakin’, and nothin’ makes him so unhappy as to have somethin’ doin’ and him not in if. I’ve been reliably informed that when a man makes Ms debut In Congress the people that have been there for some time previous look down on him kind of supercilious and make him sit quiet and listen. And that’ll jest about kill Bill.”—WasMngton Star.
