from an attack of ia grippe" compares
the sensation which he experienced to that
of 'misfit skull, too tight across the
forehead and too narrow behind the ears. I"

The Salina Sun says that Charley Mar
tin while in Salina the other day on visit
home gave away secret. BE 1t known
that he read portion of the presidents
message last month. Being asked how he
and the other fellow got along reading it
he the last half-he said his associate
was new to the task and read every word
in the message as he camerto it, but he
made it convenient to turn over two or
three pages at time, making no break IN
the connection, however. He had read in
the Kansas legislature and had got "up to
snuff" there. This was the practice of the
former reading clerk at Washington. It's
all the same to the members, as they give
no attention to the reading, and rather di-
gest the document at their leisure.

several places for work, but everything
was full. Continuing his remarks, Mr.
Sheldon said: Il fell in with ono man who
was showing lumber car from one build
ing to another. He had on an extra load.
and the car stuck on little rise in the
track helped him push the car over. and
told him / WAS looking for a job and
couldn't get one. He showed great in
terest in me and gave me the address of
house where | could get a meal
aud nights lodging on his recommended
ton, in case | did not find work mention
this is only one instance out of several like
it which touched me deeply during the day
But tried my best for several hours, and
in spite of everything, l finally had to go
home without getting any more work ex-
