Expression Isan Old One.

The expression laugh in your
sleeve" harks back over the line Of
centuries. The old Greeks and Romans
used IT, but where they got It none
now can tell. In those musty days
everybody who could afford to wear
any clothes at all had them made with
wide-fowing sleeves for the reason
that ught-fitting sleeves had not been
invented. Neither had trousers; nor
yet the accordion hat.
When any emotion led the wearer Of
the capacious sleeves TO put his hands
to his face 1t was more or less con-
cealed by the loose drapery, and pre-
sently it came to be suspected in such
cases that the person behind the
sleeves was laughing secretly at some
one else's discontinue. In other
words. he was Laughing in his sleeve"

Government
BY Minority

The legislature consists of one
hundred members-thirty-fiv in the
senate and sixty-five in the House.
A majority of the body is fifty7one.
But ten men have been running the
whole show.
The Democratic senate caucus was
constituted of nineteen members; a
majority of nineteen is ten; q. e. d.
These ten determine the caucus at
titude, the other nine have to vote
with them in open house, and the or
ganization in the house was ap-
parently expected to do anything the
senate wanted to have done.
And Billy Adams is majority of
the ten, so there you have it figured
down clear to the end.

MERE MAN MAKES A PROTEST
Would Have Women Take Lessons Be-
fore They Participate in Games
They Cannot Play.

I have suffered severely, and / want
you to help me Ladies are the chief
offenders. They will join in games
which they cannot play and spoil the
pleasure of those who can.
At croquet a lady, by no means
young. was my partner. She did say,
in an off-hand way, that she was no
player. She proved this by missing
the first hoop from foot in front of it..
She hit every ball with the edge of
her mallet, and could not even stop
near my ball. put her through near
ly every hoop. and had a chance of
winning If she only stayed near mine.
but she went over the boundary.
At golf it was worse, for they send
the ball into every hedge and gutter.
When you thus lose two or three balls
you feel little raw. She merely re-
marks, I'm SO awfully sorry"
You offer her three strokes hole,
and yet she never wins one; refuses to
accept four and spoils your weekly
half-holiday. You suggest lessons, and
she replies. "oh. no; I've had a lesson.
All want is practice"
At tennis she makes double faults.
and rarely returns a ball, SO you have
no chance.
In whist she revokes and never re-
turns your lead. yet will not hear Of
lessons.
She sits at the piano and spoils
everyone's accompaniment and the
temper of the other people. Can moth
ing be done? l would suggest six les

He was shot through the right lung.
1t seems that Barry usually carried

that the hold up was one of the
