with what more-is- there to- be desired

But the smile on Mr.. Pou's face did not
die and his merriment was not quenched
In tender tones of melting sweetness he
spoke up and asked:
Mr.. Busbee, are you not Mistaken

grabbed up his book and nervously turn

read from it,
Mr. Pou (stll sweetly): 81 didn't
represent Garner in the Superior court
The firm of Simmons, Pou & Ward had
then not even been formed"
Mr. Busbee (excitedly): Its in the
record
Mr.. Pou: That's in the Supreme
court. You have found an error and
brought it into this case"
The President Ito Mr.. Busbee): "Coun-
sci will confine his discussion to the evil
dence."
Mr.. Busbee would do so, but he wanted
to say that he didn't see any difference
in a man appearing in case in the
lower court and endorsing it in the high
err one.
HERODIAS AND THE HEADS.
Mr.. Pou's smile was now an outright
laugh and Mr.. Busbee said he was sure
he couldn't understand what the gentle
man was laughing at; he (Busbee) saw
nothing funny in it.
1t did, however, sometimes strike him
as very funny that his adversaries
should act as if this Senate We're
an appellate court to review the acts of
the Supreme court, and if forsooth they
can find one little irregularity in the pro
ceedings they would have you deliver to
Herodias the heads of these Respondents

OF course everybody wondered what
Herodias' other name might be, and
where her terpsichorean performance had
taken place. but after the recent murder
Gus attack the speaker had made on MI.
Pou's smile nobody dared to ask. and he
proceeded.
If he thought Senator'S could be moved
by things like these his heart would
be sick, indeed" In sadness he called
on Senators to witness the spectacle
Judge Clark goes to the Treasurer and
threatens him and his bond, at any rate
advises him not to pay the claim. Then
he goes back to the court and blandly re-
marks that these officers don't seem to
be obeying the order of the court.

Mr.. Busbee contemplated it as a most
remarkable thing that every time
a Democrat was kept in the Democrats
applauded and every time Republican
was kept in the Republicans said:
what noble COURT" He asked if it
wouldn't be more remarkable thing il
the court was right every time 1t de-
cided for a Democrat and wrong every
time a Republican was kept in.
Then the speaker straightway forgot
the impeachment of Judge Jaybird Jones
and Judge Greasy Sam Watts and two or
three solicitors of that venal and cor
rupt period; he seemed to even forget
the impeachment Of Governor Holden,
for he declared that in the days when
that staunch and gallant Democrat Thorn
as j. Jarvis was Speaker OF the House
there was no impeaching of Judges. He
added:
"As we get a little older. Mr.. Presi-
dent, we look back and think that some
high things were more highly managed
then" H}
