which played the wit and humor of
the Gridiron club at the annual fall

which turned national issues were
treated in a spirit of levity and fun.
Underlying each jest and quilp and
skit were touches of human sympathy
and kindness for the victims of the
November avalanche, as well as some
bits of homely advice and warning for
the victors, that kept everybody in
good humor.
Not even his late political enemies

siasm in those dominions.
