a couple of Iowa women have col
lected all the poetry that ha, been
recited in Congress in the last 10
years. The collection ought to be
interesting for the exhibition that it
makes of Congressional taste, but if
anybody thinks that it will furnish

is greatly mistaken. There are bet
ter Judges OF poetry than men who
are elected to Congress.
The prohibtionists know that their
fanatical attitude towards the liquor
question are causing them to lose
converts every day. Prohibitionists

use their own money in paying the
bills when basking in the presence OF
an adventures.

Oelrich. Heretofore the public have
been led to believe that most sas-
siety' women leave a place because
it isn't nasty enough.
