Political writer's generally as
sumo that the party carrying tite

troll the next congress, but do not
go into details. In the case OF tbs
house OF representatives this is )
reasonable assumption, as the rep
resentatixes are elected by popular
vote from districts divided according
to population. This gives assur-
ance that majority large enough
to elect a president would ordinar-
lily carry the house. In the senate
however, the situation is quite diff
frf6nt There are two senators
from each state and these states diff
fer greatly in size
On the 4th of next March thirty
one senator's go out of office, and
there are already two vacancies

pulsion OF Lorimer, and one from
Colorado, due to the failure of the
legislature to elect successor to the
late Senator Hughes OF the thity-
one who go out of Office thirteen are
Democrats and eighteen are Repub-

FOUNTAIN PENS
By GEORGE FITCH.
Author OF "A Good Old Siwash."

A fountain pen is mechanical
misdemeanor which acts like a foun-
tain when it is carried in the vest
pocket and like the Sahara desert
when its owner is four miles and
7s9 yards from an ink bottle. (
The fountain pen was invented by
"a man who has since changed his
name and escaped, 1t consists OF Il
hard rubber barrel of ink and. COLA
pen with soft flexible points which,
braid up when wrishg, 1t also has
Ia cover which comes off automat-
iealIy when the pen is in the pocket
and can be removed by pais Of
automobile pinehers when the pen
is needed
When it is feeling well, foup-
tain pen will write on paper, on the
aoor. on the clothes of it's owner and
also on his fingers and thumbs. A
man can write twice as much With
IA fountain pen as he can with an or
binary pen but the other half is not
useful. A
In order to avert damage suits we
will now state that there are also
perfect fountain pens which win
not only suck up ink out of a bottle
but will hold ii for years and will
not let a drop escape. 1t is COM
mon sight to see big brutal man
shaking fountain pen as a terrier
