Whiting in tile Senate

Washington, June &c. --Sena-
tor Vardaman, of Mississippi,
having gotten hold of a small
board, drew out his jack knife
today in the Senate chamber and
with g!ee proceeded to shave it
down to nothing at all. Seven
envious pages stood at respect
full distance. Every time he
slipped the jack knife down,
more splinters fell on the new
plush carpet.
His interest in conversation
could be read by the rapidity of
his strokes, sometimes, talking
vigorously, the cutting would re-
semble a buzz saw, but when
conversation languished the knife
slipped easily along like a fish.

another of their children, was
added to the sick list and their

six cases of typhoid fever on

1t appears that all the patients
are getting along as well as could
be expected and none of them
seem to have very serious at
tack.
