Then Gus grew holder. He snapped his

The explosion was terrific Serene
Payne almost bit him. Gus ran and has
never been seen near him since.
Yet all Is different now. AS the tariff

AS farmer he learned great many
scenic effects and is careful about pre-
serving the proper atmosphere. When he

will get him to press his trousers. 1T
would kill him politically, he says. The
first day he appeared on Capitol Hill he
had a new suit and pressed trousers and
made a grand fight for liberty and Amer
lean principles in a speech about some
thing or other about two minutes after
he had been sworn in. He started to tell
Speaker Clark all about the rules OF the
House and attracted attention generally.
but the Oklahoma correspondents over
looked the fact that Alfalfa Bill had
made speeches and things. The dis
patches dwelt on the fact that Bill had
pressed his trousers.
Alfalfa worries his enemies They are
trying to find weak spot in his armor.
but the worst they have ever said about
him is that he is a demagoSue, and Al
falfa Bill tells them they ought to go
out and hunt up real demagogue.

seek an honest living and become
useful members of society, are
subjected to an inquisition, cruel
ly detained at Ellis Island and
sometimes arbitrarily sent back
whence they came--all within
sight OF the Statue of Liberty,
turning that beautiful emblem
into mockery.
FRED DEEKMAN.
