Quentin had couple of snakes ct

missing. Quentin was inconsolable
from his august father down into a
search At last the snake was given
up as hopelessly lost. The other day,
however. Quentin dashed into the
room where the president was adding
few touches to his annual message,
Topped damp snake down on the

and shouted gleefully:

The president dissembled his joy and

When the family got to Washington

snake was a little tired and that his
colleague was not much better, sc
Quentin was instructed 20 take them
both down to a snakeolOgist named
SchmitZ and have them rejuvenated
Quentin appeared so sad ovet having
to part with his pets even for a day
or two that SchmitZ. to console him
loaned him a king snake and two sec

"Gcing to Show my father my new

But the attorney general is with

the snakes argued Loeb.
"Oh. yes, they will" argued Quentin
confidently; my father likes snakes
Loeb finally prevailed on him to sit
down and wait. but the length of the
conference got on his nerves, and when
Loeb was not looking Quentin opened
the door and skated in.

"This question of infringement" the
attorney general was saying. THE
question is whether an infringement of

general hurriedly assembled the back of

A minute later the president peeped

a most pleasing speech, with many
