When Uncle Joe Cannon was in
congress he wrote letter to a fellow
member, who was able to decipher the
hieroglyphics with the exception OF
one word. He disliked to bother Mr..
Cannon, SO he went to several friends

them could make cut the word in
question. This word seemed very i'm

last in despair the recipient thought
he would consult Mr., Cannon himself.
Cannon looked al the letter, and then
at the congressman, and then again
at the letter, his face somewhat TAX

he locked at the congressman and
