The Boss of Bad Axe.

A Detroit drummer was standing in front of a store in Bad Axe one day last weeK, talking with the proprietor, when a fairly respectable-looking man passed along on the other side of the street. “Do you see that man over there ?” asked the merchant. “Yes; what of him?” “Well, he used to be the Grand Mogul of this whole town; bossed everybody and everything, and had it all his own way.” “And doesn’t he any more?” inquired the drummer. “Not much, he doesn’t." “What’s the matter? Lost his money ?” “No." “Downed politically ?” “No.” “Moral catastrophe?” “No.” “Well, what in thunder’s the matter ?” “Got married about two years ago. See that tall ganglin’ woman crossin’ the street to meet him? That’s her,” and the merchant drew a long breath with a whistle to it.— Free Press.
