The "houns'." were lonesome and
they welcomed company. They were
decoyed from the barn, tethered and
then the fun began. One of the dogs
was striped with white paint The
others body was covered with white
spots.
1t was late in the evening when Rev.
Brown, returning from pastoral call.
took his horse to the barn. He opened
the door and the dogs ran out. In their
Joy at the return of their master they
ran between his ministerial legs and
upset him. Then they frisked and
gamboled over his PROSTATE body UNI
til the minister looked as II he, too,
had been given coat OF white paint.
Rev. Mr.. Brown was angry, but he
was angrier still the next day when
he discovered that the "houn' dawgs'

CAUGHT THEM
WHEN MAPPING

Washington, ID. o., Jan. IL. Il The
senate debated at great length today
the unanimous consent agreement Sc
cured yesterday by Senator Sanders
setting January Goth MS the date for a
vote on the Kenyon Sanders bill. This
agreement was ordered entered when
Senator Clapp, who was presiding, nut
the question and heard no objections.
Later, Senator Smoot entered vigor-
Gus protest, stating that 1t had been
his purpose to object to the request,
but that his attention bad been divert
ed momentarily and he had not heard
The question.
Just before adjournment today the
question was rcsubmitted and Senator
Smoot objected. Immediately after
wards the same request with the date
changed to February 10th, was made
and agreed 10. This means that the
RESPONSIVENESS bill will be taken up
at three O'Clock on that day.
This is the result of stubborn night
which has been made by Senator San
ders for the past week for the consid-
Grafton of this bill.
Some of the observers said the new
senator from Tennessee had very clcv-
erly "put one over" on the venerable
bucks who were opposed to his pro-
position. He kept vigilant and they
didn't and that is all.

tramps in America and that ene-half

Whiting characterizes as absolutely
unreliable.
The following figures are based
upon his analysis of the reports of &C
cidents resulting in the deaths Of
1000 trespassers. OF these 1000, 4S9
lived near the place of accident, 321
lived at distance and the residence
of the balance, 100, was unknown. OF
these 1000, 273 left widows and chill
dren, 33 were widowers, 376 single

500 were living with their families,
sol were not and $50 could, not be
classified.
Further, of these 1000, 59S were

The actual occupation OF s16 was

By eliminating those whose known
occupation, family, home, age. sex

We're not tramps, Mr.. Whiting is able
to assert positively that 764 were not
hoboes, but plain trespassers, that 80
were hoboes and that the status OF
1856 was understandable.
From all Of which he deduces that
the number of tramps in the country
has been greatly overestimated.

VII the ascension of Christ into

ties We read: And when Jesus had said
these things. whilst they looked on, He
was raised up, and a cloud received Him
out of their sight. And as they looked
steadfastly on Him, as He went up to
heaven, behold two men stood by them
in white apparel. who also said:
Men Of Galilee, why stand We looking up
into heaven? This Jesus, who hath
been taken up from you into heaven,
shall SO come in like manner as We have
seen Him go into heaven
This scene, so beautifully described by
ST. Luke, is the occasion Of a solemn
feast day in the Roman Catholic Church.
1t is observed as one OF the holy days
Of obligation, on which Catholics are ex-
pected to hear mass and keep, as far as
possible, as a day of rest. :
The Gospels contain most interesting
and inspiring accounts of our divine Saw
iors frequent intercourse with the apos-
ties during the forty days He remained
on earth between His resurrection and
ascension. Thursday will be a feast OF
joy and gladness because it is believed
that the gates of heaven. closed by man

Redeemer into the glory Of His Father.
