tone that it seems to have fallen
over a cliff into deep water. Ger
tainly it is lost, whatever became
of it. A reporter at his elbow
can catch it all by the closest at
tention, but to those a few seats
away it may be a few consolatory
words to the family of the bereav-
ed for all they can make of it. AS
Senator Bill is not copious con-
tributor to the sum of human in
formation it is just as well.
The most indistinct speaker in
the senate is unquestionably Sena-
tor Money of Mississippi. He talks
rapidly in a low conversational
tone, and his imperfection of
enunciation is the terror of the Of
fetal reporters. The venerable
senator is a mine of historical
data on every subject, and is a
student and scholar of rare versa
tility. His infrequent remarks are
always a valuable contribution to
the general understanding of
whatever subject he cares to dis
cuss, and are welcomed by all ex-
cept the reporters.

oatmeal is the best food in the world.
Our scientific men have been making

nation as proof. The sturdiest nation
on earth" Still we have enc good point
