1t is getting played out. 1t caused
infinite amusement for while. But
a farce too often repeated to the

itching for something new, and

Legislative farce has begotten many
side-splitting laugh, and cleared
many bilious liver. Thanks to the
Legislature. Now that that body
of gifted comedians has exhausted
its wonderful resources of mirth-
provoking capabilities, something
new crops up to crafty, tempora-
rily, the Unsuitable craving for
merriment. And the happy organ,
whose lucky star gives it a place of
honor accorded to none of its un-
fortunate contemporaries, to bring
to the public attention this new and
unexpected source of amusement is
