For once in his life Gilroy was in

newspaper saints from their inches to
take story under these conditions
1t might be a fake pure and simple
or it might be the greatest scoop which
the Blazer ever printed. All this time
the man was keeping up his plaintive
pleading for "A V, sir: only V, and
It's the chance of lifetime, sir"
ITS just a gamble, but here goes"
muttered Gilroy as he carved the copy
into infinitesimal takes and yelled TO
the foreman:
Make hole for this stuff-kill any
thing everything-it's got to go" Then
turning to the stranger:
Here's your V. If this is wrong,

and shoot you on sight" and Gilroy

"Got it-buy a paper and 90 home

And Somerby hung up the receiver in
a hotel half mile away and brushed
away something like a tear of disap-
pointment, for his chance to distin-
guish himself had not yet come.

amendment which he proposed, to

QuarIes denounced the oleomargarine
industry as a fraud. Taking advantage
of the latitude the debate offered by
the senate rules, Senator Patterson of

methods by which Gen. Funston cap

Washington, March 26.-Through-

oleOmargarine bill was under discus

Dakota concluded his speech in sup

the OleOmargarine industry had been
outlawed by the legislatures of many
states and it ought to be compelled
by congress to take off it's mask ana
Ilace its product on the market for
what it really was. Senator Stewart
of Nevada declared the proposed
legislation unnecessary and that
there was no more reason for taxing
col0red Oleomargarine than for
taxing cOlored butter. The principal
speech was delivered by Senator
DOlliver of Iowa who denounced the
oleomargarine industry, declaring it
had put itself in partnership with
lawlesSness and false pretenses.
