Non was too good to be true. If there was a man like Non in this world, they said, they would have heard about it before. When I was telling ex-Mayor , in , about Non, the first time, he interrupted me and asked me if I would mind his ringing for his stenographer. He was a trustee and responsible, either directly or indirectly, for hundreds of buildings, and he wanted the news in writing.

But from what I have seen and heard of the ex-mayor of Toledo I felt he would stand for it. The note read: "Dear Brand: "I am detained in a house with a garden where the railroad passes through the village of Ligne. Please come quick, or send some one in the legation automobile. "Richard." The officer to whom I gave this was Major Alfred Wurth, a reservist from Bernburg, on the Saale River.

Denzil Quarrier, would "take it ill" if he, Mr. Mumbray, accepted an invitation to come forward as the candidate of the Conservative party. "I hope you know me better," Glazzard replied. "I have nothing whatever to do with politics." The ex-Mayor smiled thoughtfully, and went on to explain, "in strictest confidence," that there was a prospect of that contingency befalling.

"At night we had a Social Meeting in the amphitheatre, which was well filled. The ex-Mayor presided. I do not know how long I talked, but they say two hours. Everybody was much interested. The doctor with whom I was staying, and a brother physician, came into the house and thanked me for my 'magnificent speech, giving £5 to the fund for which we were collecting.

There was a party of four Englishmen on board, and, on making their acquaintance, I found one of them to be a friend to some of my friends Sir John Potter, the progressive ex-Mayor of Manchester. The right bank is a dreary forest of stunted pines, abounding with deer and other game; on the left is the dilapidated town of San Lucar, whence Magellan set sail on his first voyage around the world.

Magazine editors had called upon him for contributions, journalists from the large cities had sought him out to obtain his actual views, citizens' leagues in various parts of the nation had invited him to come and speak, and yet he was still a very young man in years, not over-intelligent politically or philosophically, the ex-mayor of a small city, and the representative of no great organization of any sort.

Next, after Vendemiaire 13, a representative arrives at Blois and his first care is to set the butchers free. About thirty knaves ruled the town during the reign of Terror, all strangers, save four or five, "all more or less befouled with crime." At first, the principal slaughterers: * Hezine, Gidouin, and their accomplices of the neighboring districts, * Simon and Bonneau the ex-mayor of Blois,

The citizens of the big town, their senses deadened by their own disaster, received the news, and the ghastly celebration that followed it, without any real interest. The fact that an ex-Mayor of Boston and the son of the present Governor were among those that perished failed to rouse them. Boston, mentally as well as physically, was in the grip of the enemy.

There is an ex-mayor of the city you saw how he nodded to me! Yonder is the head of one of the oldest and most exclusive of the city's landed families even with him I am acquainted! And this is power! You may know it by all these signs of mahogany furniture, and leather upholstery, and waiters of reverential deportment.

"Don't fire, we're Cardwellites!" In a moment the sentry's rifle was at his shoulder, pointed in the direction whence the voice came; but it was my old friend Abiram Hills, ex-mayor of Bowen, a thorough bushman, and possessed of great nerve, whose turn it then happened to be to keep watch over his slumbering companions.
