many lions are there supposed to be
here?" / told him only the one we

Whereupon he grimly said. "Oh, /

his headquarters after him"
II appeared that the man thought
he had been posted to guard against
surprise by an enemy. and did not
realize that We. being down among
the rocks. could not see the lion which
was so visible from his lookout place.
And so we lost that lion.
But had better luck another time.

said the senator before starting" and I

want to go where 1 can plenty of both -
When he returns the senator, as
chairman of the caucus, will announce
the membership of the Republican COM
mittee, which will then take in hand the
reorganization of the senate commit
tees. He expressed the opinion that
there would be a complete reorganiZa-
ton soon after the converting of the ex-
ira session. Mr.. Hale thinks there will
be comparatively little legislation other
than the revision of the tariff at the ap-
preaching session. He says that an eff
fort will be made TO dispose of the tariff
in the shortest possible time.
