the departure of the President The
earthquake shook it up little, but moth

What is that worst? why to bet on
jimblaine and lose the money he had
borrowed at ten per cent interest per
month, and then to be dismissed for
offensive good for nDthingness. But
this, as Democrats say of the war, is an
Gent history.
Modern or contemporary history as
viewed from this standpoint is fatenough
1t will be more interesting when the
President returns and when Congress
gets back. After the fall elections it will
be livelier still.
