'I have been despairing of the demo-
cratic party during the last few days"
declared Senator Depew (republican)
of New York to a group of members Of
the upper house of Congress with
whom he was talking recently.
Il am usually an .optimist." he con-
tinued. But I notice that it has Deer
discovered that Thomas Jefferson's ia
bel has been on Patrick Henry's por-
trait here in the Capitol; and no one
knows how long this condition has ex-
listed.
And yet the whole democratic con-
tingent in Congress has passed the
picture and accepted Patrick Henry for
Thomas Jefferson"
But I think the labels were put on
by the republican majority" replied

Mr.. Halsey does not walk past this
door of the appropriations committee
any more.
rs it really true that the Englishmen
are slow to see jokes?" Senator Bur-
rows asked Senator Depew recently.
ITS true, so far as our American
jokes are concerned" replied the New
York senator. Il recall telling my Gus
tard pie story to a group of English
men last summer:
"A man who was eating dinner at
hotel asked the waiter what kind Of
dessert there was.
I'VE have pie-apple, mince. pump

"I'll have some of the apple and
