The House was IN session. The
news came Of what the Senate had
done, and as quick as Q fash the
House passed from mlrth and joke
telling and singing farewell songs to a
deep sense of seriousness. Men
looked at each other seriously. Silence
prevailed. Members realized that
they were routed, that the lobby had
them defeated and was laughing at
them. II they had only taken the
humble advice OF one who In years
gone by had learned something OF the
legerdemain of parliamentary trick
sters, they would not thus have been
