ments. The House killed the bill.
In the afternoon another Progressive
Mr.. Cook Of Lyndon, demanded share
of attention when he asked Mr.. Com
ings of Richford to retract statement
made which touched upon the sincerity
of the member from Lyndon in discuss

member from Richford apologized for
making such a bald reference in the
case and the incident closed.
The worthless dog got considerable
publicity while Senate bill 1876 was nm
der discussion. The measure relates to
dog licenses and Senator Blanchard OF
Orleans proposed to amend the bill by
reducing the proposed license on male
dogs from two dollars TO one dollar.
Senators McCuen and Elliott opposed
the amendment and Senators Wallis and
Croft spoke in support of the propc-
sition. However, the amendment was
lost by vote OF . yeas" and IL
mays" The bill was read third time
and passed.
Senator Dale was the only opponent OF
Senate bill 1879. which is a measure TO
amend the old "blue law" as contained
in section 5055 of the public statutes, re-
lating to Sabbath The motion
of Senator McCuen to adjourn prevented
final action on the measure. Senators

Aunt Cindy's mHny.colored patches too
often to be ashamed OF this one for

to draw his aunt out and find how she
stood on the subject of patches.

The child was silent for long time
bis little mind busy, then he began:

a second, then dropped her eyes to the
paper where an interesting article or
Foreign Missions held her attention.
