STAPLES EVE LAMB.


The unprecedented conduct of Rep
resentative Staples while in the chair
the last night was the occasion of
much comment, and it now leaks out
that he had just sustained defeat OF
his own chosen woodchuck, his eve
lamb, the one measure which was the
apple of his eye and the pride of his
heart, and, chatting under the bitter+
ness of his defeat, he took it out on
everybody who had helped to kill his
pet, and that meant everybody except.
Jacobson.
The first thing upon which Mr.. Sta
pies had set his heart, and upon which
he had been making a quiet canvass
for weeks, was the adoption of an
adroitly worded joint resolution au-
thorizing the appointment of special
counsel to assist the attorney general
of the state in certain special cases.
And hereby hangs a tale. When
Mr.. Staples submitted his matchless
report on pine land matters it was
stated that the eighty-six pages fled
was only a kind of preface which
would be Continued in our next
after the fashion of the weekly story
paper Well, this resolution was the
Supplemental sort of benediction up
on the pious fraud which the commit
tee had perpetrated, and was intended
to proYide means by which the "spe-
c1al counsel which tried the land
cases last summer and fall could re-
sumo his function as guardian ad Item
and counselor ad infinitum of the
guardian of the state land department.,
to wit, the state auditor.
But Mr.. Dunn is as foxy in nature
as he is in the color of his hair, and
without any snare drum or bass horn
Accomplishments he passed the word
down the line, and when Mr.. Staples
resolution was made Judge Littleton
stuck his foot through it a couple of
times, gave 1t rap for Bob, a slap for
himself and tap for general results
1t lay at his feet a torn and blighted
thing before Mr.. Staples fully realized
what had happened, and when Mr..
Douglas moved to reconsider, the
; jolly gentleman from Dodge chuckled
until the chuckle heads behind him
could hear his gum drop and he killed
1t again, deader than ever
AND this was why Staples mourned
and refused to he com ortad

Monday morning and the family had mar
row escape. Mr., Pierce and the two chill
dren dressed hastily, but Mrs. Pierce rushed
