The Old Man “Treed.”
(Atlanta Constitution.)
This is a Georgia boy’s account of his father’s entrance into politics:
“Dad has took the stump. I dunno who run him up it; but he’s on it, jest the same. Dad is after a offis. One paper says he is a born liar: ’nuther one says he stole a horse, an ’nuther one says he run off with a widder. W’en ma heard all them things she said she thought she knowed him before, but is glad she’s found him out at last, an’ jest wait till she ketches him again.”
Every woman starts out in life with an idea that her instinct will always tell her when her husband is lying. In about two years she thinks it is a safe rule to think he never tells the truth.
