Spoopendyke.
why, | read in the paper this morning
that they couldn't do any business because
of the dead Mr.. Lock. Did you know
him %
THAT amt a Congressman" said Mr..
Spoopepdyke. ''Ycu read there was a
dead lock in the Senate Wasn't that
it2"
'.Yes, aud read it all through, and
when found that Mr.. Conkling felt so
bad about it, / thought Mr. Lock must be
4 Congressman"
''Nc, he iant eitlssr. The deadlock
means that the Democrats and Repubh-
cans can't agree"
Good gracious Have they had ap,
other falling out? 1 shouldn't think the
Republicans would Eight the poor Demo-
crats gly more. What have they been
doing now ?"
''They haven't been doing anything
Sen. Malone, of Virginia, went over to
the Republicans, and"
Il nee, interrupted Mrs. Spoopendyke,
''apa Nj. Copkling won't have him con-
| firmed. Though l can't understand why
they should interfere with Mr.. Mahone's
religion. II the poor man wants to Join

Spoopendyke Hes Mr.. Garfelds Col
lector, isn't he?'
mo, he amt That's Judge Robert
son. Mr., Garfield wants Judge Robertson
for collector, and Mr.. Conkling is oppos-
ed to him."

hone. who is goiag into the church"
Where's your sense?" snorted Mr..
Spoopendyke What dye want to mix
things up for? Trying to make grab
bag of prominent Americans ? Stanley
Matthews is candidate for Judge. Mr..
Malone ID a sepater, aud Robertson ia
appointed Collector, but, like Matthews.
hasn't been confirmed. Can you see
through tl.at ?"
''Of course, | understand that, hut |
don't see any excuse fer lighting the
Democrats, unless they think that Mr..
Robertson would collect money from Mr.
Malone, aud Mr.. Matthews would send
him to Jail. In that case it"
IN that case it would take you to
strengthen EN- out squealed Mr.. Spoop-
endyke. ''What'ro you trying to get up
now, al IDIOT asylums Are you planning
for murder and trying to get up An in
sanity plea ? What dye think Robert
sons going to collect, hens? Got a no.
ton that Matthews is q penitentiary,
sitting around to be leased out? Ina

Well, thoy nin't, they're men, l tell We.
Men with legs" and Mr.. Spoopendyke
kicked out both his own foOthandles by
way of illustration, "Q0nkling is OPP
posed tn Matthews and Robertson. He
aays they shan't be confirmed, but he is a
friend OF Malone"
That's what didn't see" said Mrs.
