Pushed Nathan Aside.

Uncle Bobby Caldwell, a unique char
acter who represented a western Ten
nessee county in the state legislature
some years ago. had joint debate
with an opponent who was contesting
the nomination with him. Uncle Bob
by charged his opponent with respon-
sibility for certain legislative acts
which we're not popular with the peo-
pie of the county. He said:
who passed the infamous dog law?
Who is responsible for that outrageous
no fence law that requires a man to
buy a rope and keep his cow tied to the
front porch? AS Shakespeare said unto
David" pointing to his opponent thou
art the manr'-New York Sun.
