Why Ho Didn't SIovc.
jThere lives out in Joe Caution1-
district in Illinois an old farmei
who is a zealous Republican one
of the red-hot partisan stripe.
When he heard of Cannon's de-
feat ho said to his wife who is om
of those women who obey then
lord and master blindly :
"Mary pack up every thing l'tir
.om to move.
Why ?J asked Mary.
recuiso Joe Uaituou is beat
and 1 won't live in a democratic
.nst riet. '"
"Very well." said Mary with a
little resigned sijrl .
Then the old man went to town
to setl his farm. There heard a)
ih election news. Fie returned
uo.me and entering the hotist
said.:
Mary you can quit packing up.
I ntit't goiug to jno vc."
"Why!"
"Because" he replied sadly
"there's no place to move to."
