Mine be a cot, for the hours of play,
OF the kind that is built by Miss
Greenaway;
Where the walls are low, and the roofs
are red,
And the birds are gay in the blue Ger

And the dear little figures, in frocks
and frills,
Go roaming about at their own sweet
wills,
And play with the pups and reprove
the calves,
And do nought in the world (but
work. by halves,
From Hunt the slipper and Riddle

GIVEN NASET BACK,
ResubmissiOn Resolution Re-
turns to Committee.

s'Resubmission' made another stir in
tthe house this morning. For the third
time 10 Buffers resolution goes to the
committee on elections. It was recalled
for the second time by Grosser, of Dick
inson, who charged that it had been re-
ported favorably without the knowledge
Of all the members of the elections COM
mittee, himself being one.
Buffers resolution has been having
more ups and downs than the state house
elevator. and goodness knows that gets
stuck in its grooves often enough, too
When it was first introduced there was
a disposition to smother it. It was
showed off to the elections committee,
whereas it properly belongs in the juris-
diction of the judiciary committee.
After a. time the elections committee
lodged by reporting it without definite
recommendation, having it printed and
put on the calendar for consideration in
committee Of the whole. This gave it
uncertain status CE the calendar so Mr.
Doo1ey, of Montgomery, a member of
the committee, had it recalled, where
upon the committee after another tussle,
reported it favorably. This gave it a
Well-defned status on the calendar with
promise of early action.
The resolution sent to the desk by
Grosser this morning said, in a where
as that the resubmfssion resolution had
been favorably reported without the con-
sent or knowledge of the majority of the
committee.
John Seaton offered as substitute for
Grosser's motion. that the question of
resubmiSsiOn, as per Buffers resolution
proposing a vote of the people on con-
stitutional amendment, be made a spe-
cial order for o'clock Tuesday after
noon.
1--WE might as well meet it and have
done with it, remarked the venera bic
legislator from Atchison.
His proposition was lost, however, only
one ave" being heard when the vote
was taken. Grossers omtion was then
put and the storm tossed ''resubmission
resolution was sent back to the cleo
tions committee.

ty, charging them with the murder of

time and the physician pronounced the
case congestion of the stomach. A short
