PARLIAMENTARIANs SPAR.
1t is becoming more and more evident
daily that the parliamentarians of the
house are moving IN opposite directions
and that 'ere long they will add very ma
terially to the spice and life of the proceed

Messrs. Williams, Stevens and Walsh were
apparently moving in the same direction
and it looked as though peace and har-
mony would prevail among these parlia-
mentary experts: This was depressing

the members present that the man who
had the most mileage buy the cigars. a
reference to accounts showed that Mr..
Reed was ID for the smoke. He immedi-

while making the purchase his humOr took

about the best way to have q little fun was
to purchase loaded cigar. He would give
this to Represe tatives Wickham and thus

the excitement and be repaid In full for the
