the mayor Of Charleston, DO you need
tents! The mayor replied emphatical-
~ that he did. Thereupon Foraker
called up the adiutant general of the
Ohio national guard and ordered him
to ship to Charleston all the tents he
could lay his hands on.
But, governor said the adiutant
general, hadn't we better look up the
law first and find out il it is legal to
send the national guard tents out of

Sure, replied Foraker. Look up
