and in the Speakers chair at his first
session with the rioting, clamorous
Democrats upon the floor, who wanted
to catch The Speakers eye.
Besides the talking skits there were
cartoons, one of which, a vine-clad
cottage, bore the legend: ITO rent
Apply to Senator Beveridge"
The skit about Roosevelt was mod
eled after the retreat from Moscow,
with Roosevelt on a white horse and
Beveridge, Carter, Kean, Scott, Taw-

| Everybody All Right.
There is no sting in the wit of the
Gridironers. So, having made fun of
Governor Harmon and pushed him out

outside, and he wanted his lead
'Nanki 10" came in made up as Speak
er Cannon, to the tune Of "The Wan

Champ Clark, made up as "Pish

The chorus shivered and turned
away, shouting "Horrible!" when Mi
kado Taft sang a song my Smile is
Still Serene" to the tune of "The Pun

It is my very humane endeavor to
bring to some extent,
My grand old party, hale and hearty
back to it's usual bent,
My smile is still serene, as plainly may
be seen.

and batter the old machine,
For I'm quite content to do the work
! that's meant
For a big American President-Ameri
can President.
