then came the old cry: Ayes and
noes, ayes and noes, Mr.. Speaker,
ayes and noes, damn you, don't you
dare shut off debate!' But 'Zeke only
smiled and his gavel cracked-and
they We're still. Then in the stiffness
he said
"'Gentlemen are as familiar with
the rules as is the chair. They are
we'll aware that the chair is powerless
to order a roll call after viva voce

result, the demand for the yeas and
nays not having been preferred before

house In this instance'-and the
splendid old fellow swung his gavel
to his ear, and the smile f1ickered out
of his face-'in this instance the chair
is not in doubt. The ayes seem to
have it, the ayes have it, and the main
question is ordered The hammer fell
like a bolt, and then calmly leaning on
it, his eye travelled around over the
turbulent mob, until it lit on George
Herrick and his little band of dazed
reformers- | knew he was think
ing of the old man over in the mansion
whom he hated with an Indians hate
and as he looked George in the eye
the cold smile came back, and he
said

standing the objections of the gov
ernor. Upon this question those in
favor of the bill will vote aye,
and those opposed will vote no,
when their names are called,
and the clerk will call the roll
The gavel fell, and the speaker, hold
ing it where it had fallen, leaned half
to Hen Harvey. Hen had taken off his
coat and vest and collar-he would
call that roll himself-and as he un-
buttoned his cuffs, inclining his head
toward the speaker, 'Zeke yelled in his
ear:
Now, Hen, damn it, call that roll
to beat all hell
Then we knew that the Bailey bill
fight was on to a finish. We had had
our first big battle with the reformers,
and were down together in the last
ditch. Whenever a bill with some
thing in 1t is about to pass the legisla-
ture, strange quality steals into the
atmosphere, just as there does in the
council chamber in Chicago when any
thing is to be pulled off-don't you
know? There is a forebodement, an
apprehensiveness, that electrifies the
nerves and ioppresses the lungs. 1 felt
it there that night. We had had
heavy fight to pass the bill in the first
place, and now we had to override a
veto! It's hard enough to get the
seventy-seven votes that constitute a
majority, with the people against you

comes to rounding up two-thirds-a
hundred and two-it's an entirely diff
ferent problem. We had been work

was troubled with eczema. It began
with a sore on the top of the scalp,
broke out as pimple and grew larger
until it was a large red spot with q
crust or scab over It. This became
larger finally covering the entire scalp
and spread to different parts of the
body, the limbs and back and in the
ears. These sores grew larger grad
ually until some were as large as a
quarter Of dollar. They would itch
and If scratched they would bleed and
smart. The clothing would initiate
them at night when it was being re-
moved causing them to itch and smart
so could not sleep. A watery fluid
would run from them. My scalp be-
came covered with a scale and when
the hair was raised up it would raise
this scale; the hair was coming out
terribly.

A doctor said:

A doctor said:
Before marriage my wife observed
in summer and country homes, coming
in touch with families of varied means,
culture, tastes and discriminating ten
dencies, that the families using Pos
tum seemed to average better than
those using coffee.
when we were married two years
ago, Postum was among our first order
of groceries. We also put in some tea
and coffee for guests, but after both
had stood around the pantry about
year untouched, they were thrown
away, and Postum used only.
''Up to the age of % had been ac-
customed to drink coffee as a routine
habit and suffered constantly from in

there, and whispered in their ears,
supposed that they were doing great
things in the fight against the bill,
but that was only another time when
they deluded their precious selves.
They did their reforming chiefly at
banquets, but George and the old
man knew a thing or two about poll
tics themselves, and George, standing
back by the Democratic cloak-room,
smoking his little cigarettes, was d.
recting that fight with the party lash
in his hand, and some of the best
men on the floor of the house to do his
bidding. He was the only private Sec
retary l ever knew who could set an
army in the field.
But through 1t all old 'Zeke stood
there, game as ever, with hard, cold
smile on his face, and you could hear
the sharp, monotonous rap of his CAV
ell, rap, rap, rap, neither fast nor slow.
The tumult did not die during the
reading of that scathing message, and
when Hens ruined voice ceased, and
he rolled the message up again and
thrust 1t in his desk, 'Zeke smashed
his gavel down and heard him say:
"'Will the house be in orders?
"And 1t was in order, for 'Zeke
knew how to compel order in that
bear-pit when he wanted to, and he
never raised his voice to do it either,
only his eye and the gavel. And so,
when they were quiet, he said: The
question is: Shall the house concur
with the senate in the passage of SEN
ate bill No. 106, Notwithstanding the
objections of the governor
THE house tried to break away
from him again, but he held it in his
gavel fist, drawing the curb tight, and
turned to recognize old Long John
Riley, who was standing like tall tree
beside his desk, with his hand up
raised.

There was another roar, but 'Zeke's
gavel fell, and his eyes blazed black
again, and he said:

tion is: Shall the main question be
now put? Those in favor of this ques-

beside her tall and somber husband.
She had never been away from home
before, and the boys had many laugh
over her wonder at the trolley-cars
purring along under the maple trees,
and her fears of the elevators in the
state house-though, for my part,
could see nothing ludicrous In it all.
She stayed three or four days and
they went everywhere, out to Oak
Ridge to see Lncoln's tomb, over to
Eighth Street to visit his old home
stead, up to the Geological Museum
where the moth-eaten stuffed animals
are, and out to Camp Lincoln. They
took many trolley rides, and even
climbed to the top of the state house
dome, whence, they say, you can
see Rochester and the prairies for
thirty miles around. He brought her
over to the house one or two morn
ings, but not on to the floor as other
members did their over-dressed wives;
he sent her up to the gallery, where
she sat peering down over the railing
at the gang-and her husband, who
took no part in all that was going on.
''The old woman's interest in all
these new things that had come into
her starved life, her ill-concealed
pride in her husbands membership
in such distinguished body of law
givers, were touching to me, and as l
looked at him that last night of the
session, and thought of her, the wish
to do something to tighten their lives
came into my heart, but just then,
suddenly, old 'Zeke started from his
chair, grasped his gavel firmly, and
leaned expectantly over his desk. At
the same instant the older members

desks and sat bolt upright. The news

like a numbness through the body;
stiller than it had been any time since
nine o'clock that morning, when they
had paused for the chaplain to say
his prayer. The gang turned around
and stood motionless, painting, in it's
shirt-sleeves, as though a flashlight
photograph were to be taken. Half
way down the aisle stood Hill. You
know how he would look at such a
time, in his long black coat, his wide
white shirt bosom with the big dia-
mond, his rolling collar and black
string tie and his long black hair fall
ing to his shoulders. You know how
he would love such a moment-and it
was his last chance that session. He
stood there quietly a whole minute,
and then putting a foot forward, said
in his great bass voice:
'Mistah Speakah.'
"Old 'Zeke rose and said:
Mister Doorkeeper.'
"'A message from the senate, by lis

secretary, repeated 'Zeke, and then
Bill had to give way to Sam Pollard,
who stepped forth and said:
