in a tragic stream from the front--a

Yet, though the nurses seldom learn

 The rollers of the tables were then reversed. causing tue bloom to start back between the middle and top rolls. The tables were now lowered, their rollers reversed and the bloom sent through between the middle and bot tom rolls. as before. but this time it was switched 10 one side, where the rolls were d little larger in diameter, and it was a tighter squeeze getting through them.
 And so the bloom went back and forth. being switched over to tighter .ass each time until it was squeezed town to about eight inches square and over forty feet long, Then it was cut in two. and each bloom went through another set of rolls that gradually worked it down to the size and shape ur a rail- IL was fascinating to watch .nat snakeli;e nar over a hundred feet . long wrthiug as if alive.
 As it came back for it's last sally through the rolls a whistle was blown as a warming that the rolling was fin ] .saea. and the rail was now on its gay to the saws.

Seeking a Way Out.

There is really considerable regret that the house cIogged calendar Wednesday so that different measures could not be considered in which many members are interested. "If they could get two or three fellows out of the house the clerk could skip fifty OF sixty pages of that code bilp and we would get through with It." was a remark of Champ Clark.
 The speaker has been long enough in congress to know that there are times when everybody is in a rush and that a good reading clerk can dispose Of bills mighty fast The same is true in the sanrte. But it happens that some body had a fHbuster on, and the clerk has been compelled to read every word and was not allowed to skip line.

Senator Borah Of Idaho were having a running debate on the canal tolls proposition, and Williams thus spoke Of one suggestion made by BOrah: "Of all the enfandlIage that has been ut tered in this debate that easily stands as the chief. It is not even original with the senator from Idaho"
 CT would not claim originality in a chamber where the senator from Mis- sissippl sits" retorted Bor0h,
 "Oh, pshaw" said Williams.
 Viewing the Wreckage.
 Ever since that Democratic caucus members of the house have been view ing the wreckage. as 1t were, and pointing out what bills have been lost by reason of the presidential program. Not only do they talk about the presi- dentiNl primaries, the prohibition amendment. the suffrage amendment the Philippines independence bill, the seaman's bill, but quite a number of others that are not likely to receive consideration under the plans that have been agreed upon. or course the house would have time, but the members will probably not stay here ,ftcr they get through the trust hills.
