They saw the heaving Chest and measured with buIging eyes the enormous Stature of the Strange being, the terrific upward sweep of gleaming Forehead and the volumin ous folds of the Toga. which was large enough for a Tent.
 What Is it?" asked Mrs Gulliver in a choking whisper.
 That is a Senator" replied the Guide.
 He came very near stepping on me-" said MT. Gulliver. Couldn't he see me?"
 "A Senator cannot see Congress- man until the Congressman has been here long enough to swing a Commit tee by the Tail" was the Reply.
 "I had better get out of here" said Representative Gulliver. 'J never felt so puny and helpless in all my life |"

 When Mrs. Gulliver read a Paper on the True Significance of Pre- Rap phael- itism before the Thursday Afternoon Research Club she would gaze down from Serene Heights Upon the little cluster of palpitating Ladies gathered about the Ruffles on her Skirt. The Gullivers were like two Cali fornia Redwoods arising from the Shrubbery; like two Sky Scrapers loom ing unexpectedly in some modest Vil- lage; like two American Eagles perch ed majestically upon 8 Bough with a flock of Peewees.
 They felt their own Size and Im- portance, and one can understand why they hankered for a wider Sphere of Influence and the companionship of a large, free Souls, far from the hamper. ing provincialism of a one-horse Jay Town.

 And so, one Morning. when Gu1liver awoke after a rosy Dream, in which he made several Speeches in the Sem ate, and was being mentioned in the Newspapers as q Probable Candidate and tried to turn over. he found that he was tied hand and foot, staked down, bound and helpless.
 The host of Political Mites had com bined against him. A gang of Ward Workers and Precinct Captains squat ted on his Chest and gave him the Laugh.
 What Is more. they would not let him up until he promised to behave and allow them to name a new Boss.
 Thus ended the adventures of the sec- ond Galliver.

 He had wife whose father laid out the first railroad through winnebago County.
 When Gulliver and his wife were in one end of their Native Burg the other end would tip up little.
 Guliiver told every other man in town where to head in and get on and what to do next.
 He was a Colonel on the Governors stan and the Oficiai Photographer had taken many a shot at him. Also Pres tdent of the Local Club and the owner ef . registered Trotting Horse with

 Carl left the girl with heavy heart. though his parting was laughing as- surance that all would come right. AL most unconsciousiy he turned his steps toward the hill.
