1t may be sacrilege to say so. but the
truth is Lowell was the founder of orr

The lady, when the way is clear will salute

A Congressman from the Western

fatigable caller. There are two chill
dren in their family, and the lady,
having a couple of visitors from her
native State, decided to take one Of
the children-aged 5-with her while
the visitors were put through the
round Of cabinet calls AS they were
going into the home OF the Secretary
of Agriculture Mrs. Congressman
said to the ladies': "rm going to

| don't won't have anything TO talk
about here.
The ladies assented, regarding the
deception in the light OF good joke.
The laugh, however, was on them,
for when Mrs. Congressman performed
the introduction with explanatory
additions, Master Five Iear-Old
opened his eyes in wide astOnishment,
followed suit with his sweet little
mouth and lisped:
