Was for the Winner. W. L. Morgan (Sherwin-WUlIams company) tells this: "Last election the leading bonvl-vant bonvl-vant of a certain town proceeded joyously joy-ously and faithfully to go in for strong drink on a larger scale than was for his own best interests. His travels then took him to the headquarters of the county committee, where he sat and listened to the election returns. All night long he heard the precinct figures counted off so many for Bill Jones for this or that office. "Then he started homeward, steering steer-ing his course along a street that was rough, as it seemed to him, like a sea. As one great billow pushed him against the plate glass front of a restaurant, res-taurant, he glanced in at the signs that gave the prices of various food dishes offered in the caravansary. lie read : "'Pork anil apple sauce. 25. Ham and eggs. 35.' " 'Hurrah for ham and eggs !' he shouted, as he continued on his way." Detroit Journal.
