Hands OF the Printer-Out In q Few
Days-Scrap Over an Extra Session.
The report Of the committee on
revision of the constitution of which
Senator Fast is chairman has been
completed and is now in the hands
of the state printer. 1t will be ready
for distribution within few days.
The points recommended by the
committee have frequently been Civ
en- in this paper and need not be
mentioned again.
The report still finds the governor
indisposed to call an extra session
to consider the proposed amend
ments and an effort will be made to
call it by movement on the part of
the members themselves. The rea-
sons given for not calling an extra
session are probably the better ones.
At any rate the Wheeling Intelli-
gencer says the Republicans cannot
afford to take such step. The i'm
preston issgeneral that If they do it
will only be necessary to call the

then he would go back to sleep again.
That winter was long and cold, and
when the two bears came out Of the

both thin and hungry and cross. The
handsome fellow went down to the

dinner, but the ice was so thick and
slippery that his dull claws made no
impression on it. A little later his broth.

title, or worldly splendor of any kind,
and not in the least ashamed of his
own plain origin and rough upbringing
Sir James Sivewright, upon whom once
devolved the duty of taking an import
ant and rather pompous English duke
to call upon the President, told an
American about the conversation
which ensued. 1t was, of course, car
rled on through an interpreter, and ran
about like this:
Duke-Tell the President that l am
the Duke of -, and have come to pay
my respects to him.
Kruger gives a grunt, signifying the
welcome.
Duke latter long pause)-Ah. tell
him that am member of the English
Parliament.
Kruger gives another grunt and puffs
his pipe.
Duke (after still longer pause)-And
you might tell him that am-er-a
member of the House of Lords-a lord
you know.
Kruger puffs as before, and mods his
head, with another grunt.
Duke (after still more awkward
pause, during which his grace appears
to have entertained doubts as to wheth-
er he had as yet been sufficiently identi-
tied)-Er-it might interest the Presi.
dent to know that l was a viceroy.
Kruger-Ehl What's that-a yiceroy ::
Duke-Oh, a viceroy-that is a sort
of king, you know.
Kruger continued putting in silence
for some moments, obviously weary of
this form of conversation. Then, turn
ing to the interpreter, he said, grutfly:
Tell the Engllshman that was cat
tle-herder."
This closed the interview.
