 Anyway your idea is not constitu tional. Langdon," continued Peabody "You want everybody to have a share in the national government. That wouldn't meet the theory of centraliza tion woven into our political system by its founders. They intended that our government should be controlled by limited number of representa- tives, so that authority can be fixed and responsibility ascertained."
 You distort my meaning" cried Langdon. And, senator, would like to ask why so many high priced con. stitutional lawyers who enter congress spend so much time in placing the con. stitution of the United States between themselves and their duty, sir, between the people and their government, sir between the nation and its destiny? want to know if in your opinion the constitution was designed to throttle expression of the public will?'

By the way, senator" he said, I'll do my best to arrange what you want regarding aluminium hy' drates for the sake of the south, and I'll also stand with you for Altacoola for the naval base.

 A lar gulf naval base would be decided on in March after the excite ment and gayety attending the presi- dential inauguration had subsided.
 On the morning of the day before this action of the committee on naval affairs was to be taken Secretary Hanes sat at his desk in Senator Langdons committee room in the cap itol. Richard Cullen. the favorite as- sociate of Haines In his journalistic days. out earlier than usual on his daily round of the departments for news for his Chicago paper, had strolled in and attempted few of his characteristic cynicisms. Haines usual ly found them entertaining. but these were directed at Senator Langdon.
 ''Now.' let me tell you something. Dick" the secretary answered firmly. Don't you work off all your dyspeptlc ideas in this neighborhood. My sena- ter Is great man. They can't appre- ciate him up hers because he's honest crystal clear. used to think knew what a decent citizen, a real man. ought to be. but he's taught me some new things. He'll teach them all some thing before he gets through"
 Cullen hung one leg over Haines' desk.
 You're nice. quiet, gentlemanly lit tie optimist, and l like you, old fel- low" retorted Cullen. But don't de ceive yourself too much. Your Senator Langdon is personally one of the best ever. But he was born mark, and a mark he'll be to the end of time.
 "He looks good now. Sure. I like his speeches. and all that. but just wait.

 After momentary hesitation Cullen continued, thoroughly serious.

Savage Crabs.

The most savage specimen OF the
crab species is found In Japan, seem
ing to dream of nothing but fighting,
to delight IN nothing half SO much.
The minute he spies another OF his
kind he scrapes his claws together in
rage, challenging him to the combat.
Not a moment Is wasted In prelimi-
nar9es. but at 1t they go hammer ind
tongs 1t sounds like two rocks grind
ing against one another as their claws
rattle against the hard shells. The
sand flies as the warriors push each
other hither and thither until at last
one of them stretches himself ont in
the sun tired to death. But he does
not beg for mercy or attempt to run
away. only feebiy rubbing his claws
together in defiance of the foe. That
foe comes closer. and with his claws
trembling with joy at his victory the
conauerer catches hold Of one claw Of
the vanquished crab. twists it until it
comes off and bears away the paipi-
tating limb as a trophy of his prowess.
Such is battle between warrior crabs.
