ers delivered at the opening of the Wis

twenty minutes to tell what the nation,

before the time was over. The next even
Ing another preacher tried to emulate the
record holder. but his hopes were more con-
cisely expressed and he was able to say
Amen" and go home at the end of six
teen minutes. After this event the legisla-
tors tried to give q hint through the ser
geant-at-arms that prayers should be brief
and not cover the universe.

son is young yet. I've made few
lucky hits, it's true, but just as likely
as not 1 shall be at the bottom of the

the season ends" Smilingly acceH-

him by an admirer in the grandstand,
he stepped up to the plate, struck
out, lodged a lemon thrown at him
by a disguised bleacherite, and went
and took his seat on the bench.
