HIS POLITICAL PRINCIPLES
A lady canvasser called on old Farmer Giles and proceeded to cross-examine him on the subject of his political faith. Everything else . proving satisfactory, she produced a formidable document. ‘I have. here, she told him, ‘ a petition in favor of the woman’s suffrage ■movement, and I should like you to sign it.’ The old man was unable to read A but he took the petition and regarded it with a suspicious eye. Finally, he handed it back. No,’he said, .with, an air of finality; ‘no; I don’t hold with movements. - A woman that’s alius a-movin. is alius gettin’ in trouble. If you’ve got one that will keep her quiet, I’ll sign it.’.
