LIKE UNTO OTHER cAUCUSES
Fashion Set by Hannibal HamIin Not
lnfrequently Followed

The old saw says that politics
makes strange bedfellows." and it is
likewise a fact that the professional
politician is frequently moved by the
"eXigencies of the case" TO acts that
will not stand close scrutiny Not
alone is this SO in the present day,
but it was so lin the days of the ia
Tiers When Hansibal Hamlin first
began his political career he was once
at caucus in Hampden. the only at
tendant besides himself being a citi-
zen of very tall stature and ponder
GUS build Mr. Hamlin had some res
oluions TO pass which began by repre-
senting that they were presented TO a
large and respectable" gathering of
voters, and he proceeded to read and
vote them onto the records of the
caucus
Hold on" cried the other man.
We can't pass that for it amt true.
What isn't true?" demanded the
willy Hamlin.
1T amt a large and respectable
caucus, objected the other memb II
of the assembly There's only 70
Of us"
That's all right, brother, that's all
right assured Hamlin. 1T goes as
read Just you keep still. This is
large ard respectable caucus, all right.
You're large and | am respectable"
And the resolution passed" without
further demur.

A writer in the Western Medical Re-
view declares that in spite of the So
cial conditions which surround the
mass of the Jewish population OF the

cities of America, where they form a
large percentage of the population, the
death rate among the Jewish inhab-
itants is but little over half of that of
the average American population.
