" House Goliath" Smiles
Smile of Satisfaction When
Commended.

Representative Robert Bruce Macon
OF Arkansas. who has been affectiOnate-
~ called by his friends 'Dr. Mary
Walker" twined a few laurel wreaths
In his midnight hair yesterday
He tripped through the legislative APP
preparation bill in the House. merrily
kicking out OF the measure every salary
increase that came within his view. He
did this by making points Of order
against each increase. His voice sounds
like his nickname, but ne used it as
a rapier thrust yesterday and stabbed
the salary raises 20 ignominious death.
It was a day Of fearful slaughter
Always the battle ragged, and always
Macon, with a deaths head In me hand
and a flaming sword in the other
charged down the aisle and beat the
growing prosperity Of Government en-
ployes over the head with a cruelty that
reminded the beholders Of surgical
operation. Mercy was a stranger TO
him He would not have realized kind
illness II they had met in the middle OF
a narrow road under the glare OF a
monday sun.
Blood was in his eye Behind him
stretched the path Of his devaatation'
and before him other salary Increases
lured him on. His fight was to the
finish Into his head there had cTept
the idea that economy in the Govern
ment must be subserved. He subseTved
1t. He is a small man physically. but
mentally he was a Goliath for whom
no David had ever been born. He was
enthroned in the midst Of the Gath and
everyone did him homage.
At the close Of the day. when he wiped
the sweat Of conflict from ailis bulging
brow and readjusted his cuffs, some
what widowed with the blood OF the
slaughter through which he had waded,
/ he looked about him 20 see If Commenda-
ton was his reWsfd.
Chairman Tawney. OF the Committee
on Appropriations. was right on the jub
with the commentator. He reminded
the House that Mr. Macon had done
yecman service in keeping down salary
increases. "Dr. Mary Walker" smiled,
not TO say beamed. Ills reward was
sufficient Forgotten was the dust OF
conflict and the gore Of graphing with

and smiled some more.
And, as the Zee water and the ice

SUCH AN 4 WFUL HEADACHE
LITTLE CHERUB WILL HA YE
WHEN HE CONES OUT OF IT

A package OF corn juice, a pun Of
wind. a loose hat blown FROM an ad-
died head, a pair of wobbly feet. and
a hard spot in the asphalt pavement
made up a combination last night that
viii cause a certain young man &c
scream with pain when he wakes up
this morning. Should he happen TO
gaze INTO a iookinggiass he win no.
recognize his own face. And he VIII
have a good reason for not doing so,
because it's changed. It looks Ike a
choice cut of top round steak.
When that particular face came To
town yesterday it looked as though IL
had been massaged every day in the
week 1t was Cherubic. Its owner,
twenty years young, was out for
good time. The face was very happy.
Cherub Had His Troubles.
During the afternoon the youngster-
ven call him Cherub just for con-
venfence sake-took his face into several
barrooms along Pennsylvania avenue
and poured into it large quantities OF
whisky. The face stood il as we'll as II
Could but presently it began to lose
ex- .~ession. The corners of the mouth
dropped downward instead Of curling
upward Ike Cupid's bow. While the
upper portion was having its strus-
giles Cherub was having troubles OF
his own with his lower regions.
In front Of the Raleigh Hotel he
decided to cross Pennsylvania avenue
and take a car for Alexandria. No one
but Cherub knows what an awful long
Journey that Is when you're carrying
home a package.
Oh! 1t Was an Awful Night.
He looked AZ though he was playing
checkers with his feet, so regularly did
he cross and Uncross them All things

considered. however, CheruD was navi-
eating fairly well, considering the size
of his cargo, when gust or wind
came bowling down the Avenue. It
came ia contact with Cherub's head
already swelling rapidly, and removed
therefrom the SLOUGH hat which adorn-
ed it.
The next incident showed where the
owner of the hat had too much faith
in himself He tried TO run. The wind
did feel refreshingly cool as it whirled
its way through the curly hair, but the
hat must be rescued. SO. he tried TO
run. But he only tried. He didn' I
even get started.
To be sure one foot was put forward
as II in obedience TO the command OF
the owner, but unfortunately, It's love
for its neighboring foot was greater
than its instinct Of obedience. Accord
ingly IL curled itself affectionately be-
hind the heel of its mate, having first
passed in front OF the st'tu bone. then
on. the side5 and finally resting on the
heel.
Something Hit Him.
He tried 10 walk with one foot and
that was his undosng. He fell forward
as heavily as it is possible for any
great weight to fall. The left side of
his face came into contact with the
pavement with quite some force, with
so much force. in fact. that something
had 10 give way. AMI the asphalt re-
fused to yield. Cherub was stunned.
He was paralyzed IL two ways now
A couple of pals dra gged him to an
Alexandria car and accompanied him
home.
