An old lion was SO weak he could no
longer hunt for prey He therefore
lay in his den and gave out that he
was so III he thought he would die.
When the beasts heard of this they
were very sorry, for they looked on
the lion as their king. One by one
they went to see him. This was just
what the lion wanted, for he could
easily kill them one at time. and
then he grew fat on his prey.
At last fox. who thought he knew
what was going on. made up his mind
to call on the old king and ask him
how he did.
"Ah. my dear friend" said the lion,
show good of you to come and see
mel But do not stand so far Off.
Come near and speak word of hope
to your poor king who has but short
time to live"

A new kind of broiler that can be
used on any stove, but is intended pri.
marily for use on gas stove. has
been invented by Virginia man. An
other feature, or. rather, the feature
of the utensil, is that all the savory
juice that exudes from the meat and
would otherwise drop Into the fire Is
saved The broiler proper--the wire
frame that holds the meat-is sus-
pended froR' the apex of casing that
runs to a point at the top and has a
front side that let's down on hinges.
The broiler frame hangs perpendicu-
larry, and as the meat is cooked the
essence drips into trough below and
runs out OF little spout on the side
and into cup that is fixed to the
side of the casing.

The senatorial committee which is
investigating the election of Senator
Stephenson seems to be surprising the
public generally and the Stalwarts
especially. 1t was quite generally
supposed that the investigation would
be chiefly search for spots on which
to apply the whitewash brush. Stall
warts predicted that it would be a
boomerang to the Progressive, wing,
and would uncover lot of awful facts
in relation to La Follette's candidacy
for governor and for senator. They
proposed to uncover deep conspiracy
among La Toilette followers to bleed
Stephenson for campaign contributions
and then turn him down.
When it came to show down, Steph-
enson's attorneys objected to the in
vestigation taking the wide range
which the Stalwart bluff proposed, in
fact they objected to going into the
primary campaign at all, insisting that
only the election by the legislature
should be investigated. Their fine spun
technical objections were promptly
overruled, and the Stephenson cam
paign managers have been asked to
answer some rather trying gu estions.
Stephenson testified that he turned
$107, 900 over to E. A. Edmonds, chief
of staff and head oiler, and didn't know
anything whatever as to what became
ot it, except, of course, that votes
enough were delivered to get the
coveted seat. Edmonds testified that
he handed the money out in big
punches, but didn't know why, and
didn't know what it was to be used
for, constantly reiterating that the
primary election law made it necessary
to spend lots of money" He said
further that one Rodney Sackett, who
seems to have been a sort of armor
bearer, cartridge carrier or gun wiper
in the campaign, had full knowledge
of where the money went. Sackett
was called to the stand and testified
