earlier in the session left the House
chamber for a minute or two, which
gave rise TO a report that he had bolt
ed, but he had not.
As soon as the result of the ballot
was announced the caucus adjourned.
Senator Williams and Representative
Houston, Schneider and Cummins had
remained In the cloak room, and when
the doors were opened angry Sauls-
bury Democrats crowded about them
and began to denounce them. Several
arguments cnsued. None or the four
paid any attention to the attacks ex-
cepting Representative Cummins, VINO
declared he was a Democrat and would
show it in the voting, Who knows but
that we may be able to get elected
the man we want he retorted to some
of his critics. Evans Cook, of Cam
den, took up the cudgels Tor the four
and got into an argument with Dr.
Martin, Francis NJ. Soper and some
others, who did not take kindly to the
attitude Of the four holding out Kent
legislators.
For awhile the greatest excitement
prevailed i'm the lobby of the State
House. and the four Kent men were
subjected to running fire of sting
ing words and not few jeers and
epithets. but they did not seem tc
mind it. None of them had any par.

sentative Cummins wanted to know if
the selection of candidate for Sena-
tor in the caucus would prevent him
from voting for whoever he pleased
for Senator in the Legislature should
he so desire. He was informed that If
he should participate in the caucus he
would be expected 10 abide by the
result Then a running fire of ques-
tons began Representative Houston
sat silent and did not answer many
of the questions shot at him. Repre-
sentative Cummins retorted to some Of
the questions asked him. The contro-
versy soon became heated. Speaker
Holcomb and Representative Ham
mond said some sharp things to the
Kent county members who had shown
signs of obstinacy. The upshot of this
outcropping Of feeling was that Will
liams, Houston, Schneider and Cum
Minis withdrew from the House cham
Der into the House cloak room for a
conference. Representative Hirsch OF
Milford joined them for few minutes
and pleaded with them to return, but
to no avail. Then Senator Walls
Joined them He pleaded with the
four for more than twenty minutes to
return to the caucus and abide by the
result. The four were obdurate. i've

returned to the House chamber, re-

THE TIME FOR PRECAUTION.
The Time For Repairing the Natural
Destruction of Winter Is in the
Spring.

The chill of winter makes it neces-
sary, in the spring, to use something
on the scalp which will have a tonic
effect if you would have and keep
good hair. Chill and cold has the
same effect on the hair and scalp
that it has on other parts of the per-
son; yet in the spring you take
spring tonic to get the body in condl-,
ton without giving thought to the
hair and scalp. When your hair be-
gins to break and fall out you are
surprised, never thinking that by the
use of a little precaution you could
save your worry and your hair too.
Suppose you give your hair chance
this spring by using Madam P. M.
Dabney's XXth Century Hair Prepaf-
atoms. XXth Century Shampoo will
not only clean the scalp, but will pre-
pare it for the beneficial processes
of XXth Century Hair Grower and
