CWhy Allusicn in Detail to the IWen- ty-Second Legislature Should
 Be POStpOred.)

My Paw se1 at tn Historyans neVei writes Histries as long as any of tn men at helped make it is alive yit. They se.i th' Reeson they put off writin' their Histries is at tn Everce is too fresh wit to be handled tn same as new paint is. They sez they haf to put it of till fol1es can take q Cam an Dispashinlt Vue oi whats bsea . soin' on or els some of 'em Il be callin' tn Historyuns Lire while tn otherns sez he's all rite for it always takes two sides to make good Histries.
 So my Paw he sez to me, sez he; James before you begin writin th' Histric5 Of tn Twenty -Secon' Legisla- cher you better wate till th Members an tn Cler71 is all dead or at Leest til they sit out of town fer if you're 4 Truthfie Historyun you'll be shure u say some things at they won't leave go Onchallenged an l mite be ief' Chileless in my ole age
 But they's something at ort to be said about tn Twenty-Seoon' Legisia- cher at wurst. Most of rl' Legislators is alreddy gone an by th time at tn rest of 'em ats still here sees this here sample page of tn Histries O: tn Twenty-Sccon', I'll he gore on 2 Va cashun an wont git back fer some WeeX yir-
 Tn most Conspicshus hgger of ti.' LegisIachar was Senter Ivus, tn Pres Gant of tn Council. They al! liked Senter Ivus but moren half of tn CouncilIaens kep' their Affecksiluns fer nin1 in Check sos at they didn't brak out an git to be Contajus till tn la<r moment when they cuGdent ConseeI 'em no more an they thanked him fer bein able, C0nsiGerit an Imparshal pre- sidin' Ossifer.
 Senter Ivus never lost his temper only wunst in the whCle Legislacher an that was tn first week. He never found it no more an so he cuddert lose it agin.
 Jist before tn Legislacler was over wunst he told tn Seven Members at was hidin' their I-rv fer him at q Crate Mistake had been made when ! they was 'iccted to tn Council. He sez at tn Nomiratin CoHvenshun at put 'em on tn Ticket ort to uv been tn Gran Juries of their Respcctif counties an at th' Voice of tn People at tn Poles oIt to uv heen ExpreSt by a Trile Jury an they ort to uv had Sixty Yeers; fnstid of only Sixty Days. Tn mex day Seater IVus sez at he hopes at his few Remark won't Ee misconstIo3ed as q eXpreshun of Onfrendiiress toards mo- 1 body: at he was only speel.in' in th' Ofiishul cap&sity of a President at had n't no CEanst to preside on account of tn Tiranicle acllshuns of th' maj jority He sez at he hopes at if hes Lasser- ated anybody's fee!i3's. at they'll ba Heeled up rite away an they'll be no scars left
 ] They was some otherns at only lost their Temper wunst in tn Legisla tii Sesshun an that was tn Equal Suf. fridgists. They got their bill into tn Legislacher early in tn Sesshun ar to tn Surprise of everybody includin' their seifs an nine tenths of tn mem bers of both Houses they got it through. It needed iist wun thing more to threw tn Ladies into what my Paw calls tn Vortex of Pollytix. Tn Guverrer had to Sine it. Tn Iadie:; was shure he wuddent darst to do any thing elst an they Was all seeted in th Gallries waitin to git their Diplomys as Pollytishuns. Some of 'em even wanted to go down onto tn Floor of tn
 House an say to tn Members. Give us them Seets: you been Ceerpin' our
 places tGo long areddy."
 In tin Meantime tn Guverner was 2 strugglin' with tn Suffridge Bill
 afeard to write his Net0e onto it. He
