Show Her First Vote, It -was the evening of election day, and Higgleby had just returned home. "Well, my dear Jane," said he, as he kissed his wife, "did you vote today?" to-day?" "Yes," replied the lady. "Straight ticket, I suppose?" smiles her husband. "Well, no" said Mrs. Higgleby. "After thinking it all over, and reading read-ing the platforms of both parties, I felt that one was about as good as the other, so I split my ticket." "Split it?" roaroa Higgleby. "Why, how did you do it?" "Why, instead of putting an X over the name of one candidate," said Mrs. Higgleby, "I divided it in half and put a V over both." Harper's Weekly. |
