There is a bit of good hnmor in
the report that comes from St.
Louis regarding the family row
which for some time past, has
been going on among the guiding
spirits of the Missouri Anti-Saloon
Leagne. Something over a year
ago the League bought printing
press on which to print its weekly
paper. The ISSUE" and the litera-
ture to be used in its campaigns
against the drink evil. The ma
chine in question was bought on
the installment plan and all the
installments but the last, it is said,
had been paid. This, for some
reason, the present management
was unable to meet Immediately,
and while negotiations were in
progress Rev. u. G. Robinson, de-
posed president of the League,
stepped in with the required sum
and quietly removed the aforesaid
press to the basement Of his home,
where it now remains in inacqessi-
BILE durance. AS heightening"the
humor before mentioned, Rev. u.
G., a most pertinacious and bellig-
erent person, is writing a book ex-
posing the alleged malfeasance of
League officials and is printing the
bristling pages of it on this same
press. That's what we call tough.
Still, the ways of the reformer have
never been scattered with roses. -

with a stock Of unsold papers on his
hands and only % cents with which
to have his Christmas feast, keep
him through the night and start him
in business the next morning, had
much chance to be SO very happy.

Forty-third street big man, hulking
of shoulder, lantern jawed and deep
chested, numbered out of gam
bling house near by and swung into
Broadway. Grumbling about hitting
me pretty hard" and never had any
luck in my life" he plowed his way
across the sidewalk, lunging against
any one whose path lay across his.
He bowled through a line of mincing
men and women who blocked the side
walk in front of an all night res
taurant, scattering them like tenpins
and making no apologies. Blind to
everything but his OWL i'll luck, he no
ticed nothing until he came upon dis
hevelcd and boisterous man holding
pers from him.
What tn ell y doin'?" growled the
gambler, as he gave the unsteady man
quick punch and tumbled him into
pile of dirt, allowing the lad to dart
out Of harms way, yelling in glee at
the fallen tyrant.

head off. Git up now an go home t

turned away.
A few blocks further he heard
a voice at his elbow:

Of the Christmas atmosphere,

into the boys hand and continued on

darkness and then looked at the crum-
pied greenback in his hands.

that he could not say, whereupon the Ida

nal code bill, declared that he could not

Senator CulberSon suggested the alb
sence of a quorum. When the Vice Pres

was present Senator Hepburn again took
the floor and asked for unanimous consent
TO lay aside tho unfinished business and
allow the Senator from Missouri to pro-

To this Senator Stone himself objected,

The clerk read the first section under
consideration. Senator Stone remaining
in a standing position by the side of his

of the reading the Missouri senator moved
to strike out the entire section.
The Vice President started to put the
motion to strike out. but Senator Stone in

marks to make his motion.
