Show Her Name Was Not Polly Ticks. During the late campaign an Illinois candidate for the legislature was driving driv-ing through the country, seeking votes among the farmers, when he met a young man in farmer's garb, walking by the roadside. Having in mind' a prospective vote, he stopped his horse, and saluting him in a familiar manner; inquired: "Are you paying any attention to politics nowadays?" The young man stopped, looked at him suspiciously, and drawled out: "No, stranger; that don't happen to he my gal's name; but ef it' was, I wouldn't think it was any of your durned business." This ended the interview as well as the prospect. |
