OF course it should not be given away.
but it is no use denying that in the
drawers of the desk of Senator Crabbe
is a box filed with powder of some
kind, marked Head Ease" The serene
young legislator must have given some
of his powder to his brother Senator'S,
for they took things as easily as If the
day was Sunday and they had received
absolution for their sins and were con-
scious of lunch bills paid. Not a joke
was sprung not a bad break made. and
not kick registered. except when
Senator Cecil Brown suggested to post
pone bill 81, relating to county clerks,
until the county bill is passed.

ing for an increase In the salary of the
