said the boarding house Sherlock
Holmes to the new boarder after the
landlady had introduced them across
the roast mutton.
The boarding house sleuth prided
himself on his keen observation of hu-
man nature and his ability to make de-
ductions therefrom.
You're a mind reader, are you?"
asked the new boarder.
ITO a great extent" replied the
sleuth. For instance, l never met
you before, but l know you are from
the east"
Good guess" said the new boarder.
You come from a family of extraOr-
dinary ability and good antecedents,
although none of your family possesses
great wealth"
The new bOarder smiled his approval.
"A peculiar thing about you is that
your beard is of remarkable tOughness.
Your face on the contrary. is very
tender. so that you experience great
difficulty in shaving. Few razors are
made of fine enough steel to overcome
the texture of your beard"
True again." said the new boarder,
although don't know how you guess
ed it, but my beard is the toughest l
have ever encountered"
"AlsO you are a rough and ready hui
mOrist. able to snap out a funny re-
mark in almost any situation that can
arise"
Say" said the new boarder, "you
make me feel uncanny How do you

made speeches on the necessity Of such
rule, which the leader of the Re-
publican side declared was movement
to remove legislation from boss rule.
A vote was taken and the twenty
Democrats voted in the Affirmative.
Thirteen Republicans voted for the mea-
sure and the rules will be so amended. This
result, in the eyes of most people, is q
serious mistake, and puts the Republicans
at the mercy of their opponents. While
the old system of Withholding or 'smoth-
ering" bills may have been pernicious,
this action goes to the other extreme. The
Democrats may now introduce all the
"fake" measures or ''strikers" they desire
to and can compel the report Of the bills.
And there is no doubt they will take ad.
vantage Of every opportunity to give the
Republicans trouble. All that is neces-
sary for the Democrats to do il to get fif-
teen of their members to request the re
port of bills and the request must be heed.
