he could net take the iron-olad oath. "He
(Mr. shackelford) could no more get a seat
in Congress without supernatural power"
continued Wallach, than could Joshua,
by his own power, have risen from earth TO
Heaven" The audience Uttered at the
Biblical knowledge Of the speaker, and
then fairly snorted with laughter. Some
wag, soto uoce, suggested that it was Deu-
teronomy. Dug. took the hint and kept on.
"Well, it was Deuteronomy or some other
one of those old chaps. Pm not particularly
