From the Detroit Free Press1
The candidate who got left at the County
Convention can be told by the way he grasps
your hand, braces himself against his gurg-
ling emotion, and whlsperingy inquiries:
Did you ever hear OF a case like it? ?"
You never did. Tell him that you never
did, and he pulls you into doorway and
continues:
Il am done with politics forever!"
"No"
"Yes, am, and with the party, tool"
"You don't say"
"Oh, but am. This thing has satisfied
me that there is no such thing as honesty in
politics, and that politician has no more
word than a dog. l was sold out"
POSSIBLE ?"
''Sold out and lied out They used money
to beat me. They lied about me- They played
hypocrlte and knave. Here l have served the
party for nineteen long years and never asked
for an office, and the minute l decide to accept
the nomination for little fifteen-eent position
they go to work and beat me in convention
with wooden-head who doesn't know enough
to mark barrel Of pork. Corruption, sir
cor-rup-shun-and the whole ticket will be
defeated on account of it,"
And the best of it he takes you for man
who isn't posted. He doesn't believe you
have the slightest idea that he packed three or
four caucusses, bought q dozen delegates, told
three lies to the other mans one, and was
beaten because his delegates sold out He
takes you for an innocent, and he grasps
your hand again ut parting and chokingly
says:
"Corruption-yile corruption! Most bare
freed fraud in American politics Can't train
with party upheld by the practice OF such
principles possibly do it."

Hung at his g1rdle white as morwe silk.
Gipcieres were frequently made of the most
splendid materials, and lavishly ornamented
with needlework and gold enrichments. Some
times religious sentences were engraved upon
the metal framework, and not infrequently
they had locks and keys of beautiful and elab-
crate workmanship. The Franklin in the
Canterbury Tales" carries a. "gypsere" of
white silk. The Carpenters Wife has purse
"tassed Qasseled or frlnged) with silke' at
tached to her girdle, the London burghers ''of
great and solemn fraternities" bear pouches
ornamented with silver, and the Pardoner has
nothing Il s. than q wallet.
The large bags attached to the girdlcs of
medieval eccles iastics are at all times very
significant These outer pur es,through which
the girdle was passed, continued in use long
after the invention Of pockets So late as the
fifteenth and sixteenth centuries they are found
in dclineatlons of the dress of gentlemen, and
in the seventeenth century among yeomen, and
were probably retained not solely on &C
count of their convenience, but more because
of IKE tight fitting doublet and hose, which
made the garments only an outer skin. The
effigy of Robert Lions, "a famous merchant
of Wines" as Stow calls him, who was be-
headed by Wat Tyler in Cheape, represents
him with large purse hanging on his right
side from belt passed over his left shoulder.
Still, the general wear was purse commonly
of triangular form and frequently ornamented
with beads or trimming, suspended from the
girdle, which was almost universally adopted,
so much 50 that it formed the symbol of in
vestiture or remuneration. Thus the widow
of Philip l., duke of Burgundy, renowned
her right OF succession by putting off her Cir
die on the Dukes tomb; and bankrupts fig
uratively gave up their effects to their cred
itors by putting off the girdle to which the
purse and keys of their estate were attached
So long as girdles were worn there was little
need of a pocket. Custom long continued
made it a habit with them to thrust everything
within the encircling band; few clothyard
shafts, a dagger, or rosary, all were placed
ready to hand within the giidle, and SCISSORS,
needIecase, pen and inkhorn, or even books
were suspended from it.

But the weather grew too warm,
So sought 1Or some help for my dove.

And what I sought found,
Although she was black as any coat
But we didn't care for that
Since she suited us pit pat.
For week, then she had to hunt her mole.
For she had so many friends,
And relations without end,
That starvation was staring in our face;
Every day and every hour.
Sugar, coffee rice or flour.
Made its rapid disappearance from the place.
SO we shipped No. 1.
Which my friend you'd have done,
Without feeling or cOmpunchon m your neart,
And we got number two.
And at first we thought she'd do.
But we soon put her baggage in the cart.
Then at last we thought we'd try,
One who had no friends close by,
So would look on our helplessness WlIn pity;
Advertised for white hand,
But could find none in the land.
So we shipped us one up from the city,
A lady born was she,
Far too good for such as we,
Since she sc0rned both our house and our 10Od.
But she didn't come alone,
Brought daughter and a son,
And she swore that for work they were to good.

And just asked what became OF the rice,
Her cOuntenance grew black,
And quickly made track,
| Or think she'd have knitted me in trlce.
She stormed and raved so,
That at last she showed high, low,
| Or used words equivalent to; same.
| For friends, they made me shiver.
| So dumped her at the river.
And counted the trick as Jack, Game.
Now friends take advice,
| And, don't want to be too nice,
When you seek out your true love and get
