Politics in Domeatic Life.

A story Is told of a Bradford County politician (the sharp and shifty kind) who was urged by his wife to hoe the garden. He couldn’t think of any very good reason, so he went at It. Soon he came in with a silver quarter he said he had found. He washed it, put it in his pocket nnd went back. In a few minutes he showed up with another coin, this time a half dollar. He said there must be a buried treasure In that garden. He unearthed a couple of dimes and another quarter. Being very tired, he announced his intention of taking a nap, and duly went to sleep. When he awoke his wife had a dangerous and steely glint In her eye, but the garden was all hoed. It Is mistrusted that she had hoed while he slept, nnd that she had failed to find any burled treasure. —Milton Standard.
