No Place to Move To.

Washington Mirror. There lives out on Joe Cannon’s district in Illinois an old farmer Who is a zealous Republican, one of the red-hot partisan stripe. When he heard of Cannon’s defeat he said to his wife, who is one of those women who obey their lord and master blindly: “Mary pack up everything. I’m going to move.” “WhyP” asked Mary. “Because Joe Cannon is beat, and I won’t live in a Democratic district.” □ “Very well,” said Mary, with a little resigned sigh. Then the old man went to town to sell his farm. There he heard all the election news. He returned home, and entering the house, said: “Mary, you cau quit packing up. I ain’t a-going to move.” ••Why?” inquiries Mary. “Because,” he replied, sadly, “there’s no place U> mom to.”
