any stretch of the imagination be con-
strued as complimentary. They didn't
seem to help much, either. And to

upon himself to make answer.
Thereafter it was an agonized grunt
from the hope of the white race, and a

turned in the direction of Jeff's orner
Johnson had all the better of that ex-

The phrase. "a man of straw" had

walk openly In Westminster hall with
straw projecting from their shoes

sion.
An advocate who desired conye
lient witness knew by this sign where
