Mr.. Roosevelt mad come Ddck.
| Please leave the dear old trusts alone;
they're seeing things at night" was the
| title of a song by James S. Henry Of the
Philadelphia Press, "the wonderful soft
pedal baritone" in which the trusts in
formed Atty. Gen. Wickersham that they
| were tired and sleepy, too. and appealed
to him to put them in their little beds.
Sec MacVeagh was classed among the
81 varieties of Democrats and reformers,
who had great difficulty in remembering
when registration day came around. This
discussion was cut short by some refer
ences to the tariff, which, it was stated,
was being talked pro and con.
.Indeed?" remarked the Vice Presi-
dent with evident surprise.
| Yes" replied the end man; pro means
for-for the trusts. Con is what the con-

about the possum being the animal en-
| blem of the present administration and
that the Teddy bear was one of my
policies" that had been inherited, 1t
was all nonsense.
1.-The emblem of this administration"
said the animals keeper, "is the COW,
and this is it,"
1t was discovered that the milkpail

follows:
1--WE used this medicine on the tariff
bill, and removed all Payne from 1t In
stantly."
Tn. pail was being emptied of it's
contents when in rushed member VINO
impersonated Castro and who demand
ed place of refuge.
There is nothing we can do for you.
Mr.. Castro; you must go was the an
swer to his appeal. but the excited
president persisted and, following
lengthy conference it was decided TO
let him take care of the COW.
A burlesque on "Uncle Toms CABIN
made il A close rival Of some OF the
other funny stunts. Eliza was depicted
as fleeing across the ice holding In her
arms Two children, Maximum and MINI
imum wrapped in the tariff BILL and
pursued by the howl of the gray wolves
of the Senate.
A miniature wire basket which
served as the congressional waste
basket" was the souvenir of the din
ner, and into it were dropped at inter-
walls various things which were sup
posed to represent papers that are lla-
BILE to find their way into such a re-
cepticlc.
