carefully places his nose in position
to support the butt end. Several
times he draws back his head and
looks along the pole still outstretched
in the trainers hand. Finally 1t Is
adjusted on the very tip Of his nose
to his liking, and, as the trainer steps
back, releasing his hold of the pole,
the sea lion shuffies across the stage
balancing it with all the steadinesS

He travels the full length of the stage,
his eyes fixed intently upon the top Ct
the pole, and rapidly swings his
head, now sideways, now backward or
forward so as to maintain the balance.
His companions follow him on his
course; in their eyes you can read the
hope that he will stumble or lose his

slight push to accelerate the downfall,

The disposition of the majority in
congress to coddle the friends of Ia
bor," while taking care that the
source of campaign funds shall take no
offense thereat, has been strongly in
evidence during the current off-year
session. But. the device of passing
bills in the house, to be done to death
by the senate after election. has be-
come altogether stale and ma1odorous.
A very little performance in the upper
branch would doubtless be accepted
cheerfully on all sides as substitute
for the vast amount of promise in the
house. >
