FIND MANY CHANGES.
Champ Clark and Joe Cannon tc
Meet Under New Conditions.

Many changes in the organization
Of the national House of Representa-
tives will be made when Champ Clark
and Uncle Joe" Cannon once more
face each other across the centre
aisle at the beginning of the next
congress. The dwindlilg Of the Dem
ocratic majority, which will drol
after the close of the regular session
from 140 to %. will necessitate
general shifting of the working order
of the House.
With their slender majority the
Democrats while able to re-elec'
speaker Clark and retain control ot
the committees, will be forced tt
maintain an almost perfect organiza
ton. Even with a full attendance il
the House, a shift of twelve votes
would throw the control to ths
minority side.

WHEN HEROISM WAS WASTED
Small Boys Sadly Disappointed in the

A small Irvington boy discovered
one evening light flashing ftfu1ly

away from home, SO it could not be a
legitimate invader of the hennery.
The small boy felt the thrill of the
situation and set his wits to work.

me. Why couldn't say "F' at once,

There are. of course, the stammer-
ers who cultivate the art in converse

to be cured. Because, as with Charles
Lamb, the point Of the remark is de-
layed for the moment by the hest
fancy. Curiosity. expectancy, anxiety
are aroused, and then the amazing

unexpectedly and was at the

somewhat hustered, for she had

pudding for two, and she divided
it between her husband and the
guest. The latter praised the
pudding highly and her husband
kept insisting on his having

X now that very WELL

! Let us not get into an argn-
nent over that question now.
/ The war is all over. We can
be proud of our ancestors who
took part in it. l am ready to
admit that your grandfather was
brave and high-minded. He
fought for what he thought was
right. If he was mistaken was
unfortunate, but it does not
lessen his heroism in the least. I
honor him for doing what he
considered his duty.
"Oh, please don't say any more
about that. You northern peo-
pie are always patronizing us by
telling US how brave and how
noble you consider our soldiers
to have been. 1t is merely an
other way of telling us that you
are ready to forgive us for being
crushed. l have heard 1t so often

some of them for you"
Leave them where they are,
she answered. Il shall never

He experienced a telling that
he had never been conscious of

the glory of the day had sudden

that presented itself to get rid of

At last his hopelessness turned
to anger, and late in the after
noon he got his horse. He had
no idea. as he galloped along,
where he was going. He did not
care.
The sun was low in the west
when he drew up beneath the
crabapple tree beside the ceme-
