 Orators.

Washington, Feb. 25-Currency Legislation was the chief topic before the senate to-day. For nearly three hours Senator Robert l..

I saw how to accomplish the thing in theory but l could not find a construction which satisfied me as to practicabiity in rough service. It must have been couple Of weeks after that when on a street car talk ing with a friend the solution came like an inspiration. l got 1t on paper as soon as I could and later in talk ing matters over with my patent so- licitor l determined to apply for patent. l do not want to make the guns as I have something useful near lv ready to bring out now which has been my great ambition for many years"
