| DAILY Pioneer Special Wire Ser
/ vice)-Lieutenant Governor Sam Y.
Gordon has not yet decided as to
whether he shall call an extra session
of the legislature.
The lieutenant governor is in con-
| sultation with friends this afternoon
and his decision is expected this ev-
ening.
| Mr.. Gordon stands ready to call
the special session but Attorney Gen
eral Simpson has, to a degree, thrown
cold water on the plan
Simpson Attempts Compromise.
The attorney general today an
| nounced decision in which he said
that the courts appeared to sustain
| the contention that vacancy occurs
when the governor is out of the state
Mr.. Simpson adds, however, that
every absence from the state does
by no means establish vacancy.
@As 1 understand it. - he says. @s.the
constitution and court rulings do not
favor the possibility of the lieuten-
ant governor slipping into the GOV
errors chair at the disposition of
the latter
The attorney general assumes that
there must be some important and
urgent duty to be performed before
the lieutenant governor can legally
act in the governors place.
Can Do It at Certain Times.
ssYet, it must not be supposed"
adds the attorney general, chat IN
der certain conditions, the lieutenant
governor can not exercise the duties
of chief executive"
1t is the feeling here today that
Mr.. Simpson is attempting to assume
strictly neutral position and that
his efforts are toward a compromise
Mr.. Gordon and his advisers are
somewhat at a loss to understand
just how far the power of the lieu
tenant governor can go and if they
conclude that such power is sufficient
the call for the extra session will
be made this evening.
Wheelock Not Alarmed.
Ralph W. Wheelock, Governor Eb-
erhart's private secretary, declares
there is no occasion to become
alarmed over the situation.
why even if the lieutenant gov
ernor makes the mistake of calling
an extra session it only means that
every bill passed by such legisla-
ture will be attacked by the courts.
SIT would be unfortunate because
it would cause the state to become
entangled in legal complications that
would take much money and time to
untangle''
The Gordon supporters, On the 9TH

did him no harm, but walked quietly away.
When Sandrocottus recovered from his as
tonishment and fear, he concluded, from the
that he was destined to be king. Now his
native country was governed by king who
was cruel tyrant, and greatly dislked by
the Brahmins, or priestly order of the Indians.
Sandrocottus, gathering together certain out
laws, headed an insurrection against this king,
and mounted the throne himself, and became
one OF the most powerful monarchs who had
ever reigned in the East. He defeated and
drove. out the Macedonians that Alexander
had left in possession of Northern India.
And when Seleucus Nicator, who became King
of Syria after the death of Alexander, tried
to recover the Macedonian conquests, and in

|0 HE ancients had a firm belief in
the generosity of the lion. He was
the king of beasts, not only from his
immense strength and majestic as
- pect, but from the royalty of his
nature. 1t was supposed that he
never attacked human beings except when he
was driven to it by extreme hunger. 1t was
thought that he could be moved to pity, and
sometimes spared defenseless travellers
through compassion; and that his instinct
enabled him to recognize true kings. Ali
these poetic fancies have faded away before
the experience of modern travellers, but the
lion is certainly not so fierce or subtle as the
tiger, nor has he the cruel eyes of that ter
rible creature. When in a state of repose
there is no trace Of ferocity in his expression,
and as he sits in his grandeur. with his mag
nificent name flowing about his neck and
shoulders, he has an air of regal dignity and
majesty that might well give rise to the old
stories of his nobleness and generosity.
When Alexander the Great invaded India,
and had advanced to the river Hyphass, in
the Pendjab, there came an Indian to his
camp from far-distant kingdom on the river
Ganges. This man, whose name was Sand
roeottus, appears to have been of doubtful
origin, though some writers say that he was
related to the royal family of his own coun-
try, and was sent on an embassy to the Mace
donian king. However, he offended Alex.
ander, who ordered him to be put to death.
and he fled from the camp and only saved his
life by the swiftness of his feet After he had
traversed a great distance, thinking he was
from his rapid fight, he lay down to rest.
He fell asleep, and a great lion came softly
to him, and gently licked his face as he slept.
Sandrocottus awoke in terror, and when he
saw the lion standing over him expected to
be torn to pieces. but the majestic animal

Whoever attempts discussion of this kind
with ar American generally finds that he

man OF boy, an Americans repartee is al
ways bright and ood-humored, and his advers
sary has to be quick -witted in order to silence
him. Here is an instance:
A gentleman from this country, who hap
pened to be in Quebec, thought he would like
to inspect the citadel which is rich in history
An officer detailed soldier to show the
visitor around, and he took him everywhere
As the American was leaving, he noticed a
small black cannon, half hidden by the snow,
and said, jestingly:
"Well. I guess I'll take this away with
The soldier laughed.
II don't think you will" he replied "after
you have seen the inscription on IT,"
The American stopped down and read:

Then he glanced slyly around, and saw the
soldier still smiling. He felt that, the latter
had the best of it, and this made him cudgel
his brain for a fit reply.
