The resolution to allow sub-commit-
tees from the Committees on Public
Buildings and on Military Affairs to 90
to Los Angeles to investigate the ne
cessity of appropriations asked for was
taken up.
Reid moved to strike ont the Military
Committee, but his motion was lost
Spencer hoped the resolution would
not prevail. Ii was notsonly heavy ex-
peuss, but was liable to leave the House
without q quorum.
Berry said he had no wish to 90 on
'junketing trips or obtain newspaper
notoriety, but he wished to do the busi-
ness intrusted to him as he would con-
duct his own business. Large appro-
priations We're asked for public buildings
in that section and the committee knew
nothing of the actual necessity of such
appropriations.
Wade asked Tor division of the cues
ton on the two committees. 1t might be
desirable to send the Committee on Pub
lie Buildings as asked.
Reid moved to reduce the number to go
on the Committee on Public Buildings to
three.
Berry said the reason a committee of
seven was asked for was that there are
three localities TO visit, and by dividing
up part Of them could visit each locality
and thus get back to their work here
more quickly.

Not According to the Code.

While at the rendezvous at Rushville
and on the march to the front Lincoln, of
course, drilled his men and gave them
such meager instruction in military tao
tics as he could impart. In marching ono
morning at the head of tho company, who
were following in lines of 90 abreast, it
became necessary to pass through gate
much narrower than the lines. The cap
tain could not remember the proper COM
mand to turn the company endwise, and
the situation was becoming decidedly en-
barrassing when one of those thoughts
born Of the depths of despair came to his
rescue. Facing tho lines, he shouted:
HALT! This company will break ranks
for two minutes and form again ON the
other side of the gate" The vancouver
was successfully executed.

ing seen it, rushed over and bought the
negative. He at once got out no end Of

Lincoln at the Bar.

He never took advantage OF mans low

paid great Difference and respect to him.
