Woman Who Did Not Lose Her
Head.

One young Ohio woman didn't lose
her head during the recent great flood.
She is now visiting Detroit, and the Free
Press relates her conversation with her
friend:
"Susie, you must have had an awful
time there?';
"Why?"
"On account of the high water. How
near the river were you?"
ooh, not far"
did the water come up around your
house?"
II believe so. At least l heard the
boys saying something about the base
ment being even full"
ut must have been a great but terrible
sight"
II presume So" she answered with
yawn.
did the boats have to bring you pro-
visions?" he persisted.
"Did they? Well, now, 1 forgot to
ask papa, but presume they did"
"And wasn't there danger of the foun-
dations of the house giving way?"
Il expect there was, but we keep four
servants, and of course We let them
worry about that"

that week, and had to decide between
two offers Of marriage? There was a

ALL IN fnE Draw.

Four candidates sst-such an anxious band!
Ata table whsrson big jack pot lay;
Each sighed - he looked at the cards In his
hand.
And wondered just how 1t were best to play.
For boomers may boom. but the voters give

And the issue It last il ali in the draw,
with Jack pot on the table.
One counted and once and spells at COM
mand:
And one on q book that was not yet done,
And one on war record TOOK MS stano'
And elegant hopes Of Ohio had one;
For there's plenty Of sand in candidates
cfsw,
And he sometimes forgets that its all In the
With . Jack pot on the table.
They chipped, and they raised, and they
blurred - they bet,
And tried all the various tricks Of the game;
But no one had gathered the jack pot In yet,
Though all were 70: eager to capture the
same;
For cheek, - q rule, Il more potent than Jaw
But the Issue ct last II all In the draw,
with Jack pot ON the table.
A dark little man It the corner stepped in.
And ordered them sharply tocome to q show
He laid down hand that was certain TO win'
And sadly the candidates turned togo:
For the sharp tooth OF grief at the sizzard Will
when candidate loses his oil on the draw
And farewell to the pot ON the table!

County Convention.

The Republican county convention
was called to order at 2 p. m. by J. V.
Bogert, chairman of the central commit
tee, and on motion Mr.. John 7. Carlin
was elected temporary chairman and w.
s. Eberman temporary secretary. On
motion a committee of five on credenti-
ais was appointed by the chair as follows
J. H. Woods, John Jockey, o. P. Tenn
pleton, w. M. Wright and E. Goughenor.
On motion the following were appointed
a committee on permanent organization,
D. Boerum, J. w, Cook, Arch Mcdonald,
A. L. Love and G. H. Carver. On rules
and order of business H. w. Bingham,
E. F. Ferris, F. w. Draper, A. Wills and
T. B. Sacket. On resolution, Geo. 0.
Eaton, A. J. Edsall, James Gourley, F.
D. Pease and NJ. Mounts.
On motion the convention took re-
cess for thirty minutes. AS we 60 to
press before the convention settled down
to permanent organization, we are I'M
able to give any further report of its pro-
ceedings. The complexion of the con-
vention is as we have intlmated else
where, mostly of members who have not
heretofore figured in the politics of
Gallatin county. There is conspicuous
absence of the old leaders, they have
evidently mapped out a programme
which they will carry through, as in our
judgment there is large majority of one
way of thinking. This indicates that the
work will be done without much fighting
as organization and details of.proceedlngs
had been previously decided upon. We
are of the opinion that it is an Arthur
convention, and that Arthur delegates
will be sent to the territorial convention.
We anticipate the resolutions will en-
dorse the administration of President
Arthur and also Governor Crosby.
