His Reluctant Cons ent.
During a local election in a German town Only one man appeared at the nomination desk. "Whom do you nominate?" inquired the official. " Myself ! " was the answer. "Do you accept the nomination?" "Well, no." The officer laughed and said : " Then we must try again. Whom do you nominate? " "Myself!" "You accept the nomination?" "No." A subdued "Donnerwetter ! " escaped the lips of the perplexed official, but he went on: '" For the third time — whom do you nominate? " " Mysalf ! " came the invariable reply. "Do you accept the nomination?" The man rmse up, and a smil© of satisfaction spread over his face as he answered, proudly : " Having been three times solicited by my fellow citizens to accept the nomination, I can no longer decline to aocede to their wishes."
