wrote a kicker who cut his compliment
short with the declaration that he would
never vote for that member again in a
thousand years. Another seed-stEuck
constituent asks for a package Of 'Mardi

and which he believes grows in New
Orleans. Another request from Il noun
taineer says: My gal Sue is going to
be married next month. Please send~her
a silver ring and have i; marked, From
Pa to Darling. Another constituent
asks for two gallons of good whisky, but
this fayorite beverage is requested by
many writer's Of queer letters. Of course
those who have voted for the congress
man all their lives and would like to
borrow a little money on the strength
of it are many, but all of these unreason-
able requests are consigned to the waste
basket, and the writer's probably believe
that their representative is too busy max
ing speeches to answer them and by heXt
