Mrs. Dick tells of a story about
a baby named Little Jimmie"
which the Governor. contrary to
his usual custom. told over and
over again at whistle stops.
Finally q petition was sent
back from the press car saying,
We have just cut little Jimmie's
throat. Please bury him. That
was the last we ever heard Of
Jimmie"
Then there was the ode COM
posed one day by wits among the

role Of Ernest Ives. the husband
Of Gov. Stevenson's sister. It
went like this:
"I'm the husband of the sister OF

Pm a most unnecessary chap.
Just the husband OF the sister
OF the candidate.
Who neither gets the. praise
nor takes the rap.
EDery tello1D on the train has q

For the reason, sad but true,
I'm Just the husband of the
sister OF the candidate"
Mrs. Dick hastens to add that
"this was all in the spirit Of fun,
as every one was devoted to
Ernest. For my money he was,
and always will be, one of the
most necessary and charming
of men,"
