When a man talks of bolting his party if his favorites are not nominated he is a good man to be out of the party, we don’t care to what political party he belongs.

Hobart (Colo.) has a man who is certainly “onto his job.” He wanted to get married the other day and, of course on an occasion of so much importance, he must be dressed up, but he had no money with which to buy clothing. How to get a suit of clothes without money was a query, till a happy thought struck him. He would go and ask to take a suit home with him to try on. If it fit be promised to keep it, otherwise to return it. He took the suit home, carefully removed the tags, put the suit on and was married in it. After the marriage he put the tags back on and returned the suit to the merchant, saying it did not fit. He ought to have that plan patented for the bene fit of some of our dudish friends.
