He Objected to the Clothes.

A certa : n rich but ignorant old farmer in Georgia was asked by his fellowcitizens to run for the Legislature. , “I won’t do it,” he said indignantly. “Why won’t you? You’re just the man for it,” was the reply. “Am 1 ? Well, I just hain’t nuther. You think I’m gwine up thar an’ go trapezin’ aroun’ with them durn striped clo’s on? Go’long and git somebody else to go to your doggon Legislatur. Yer can’t git me, and that’s all there is to hit.”— Washington Critic. A woman may not be very far-sighted in business matters, but she can diagnose the trimmings of a bonnet as far as a man can smell fried onions.—Chicago Ledger.
