the Democratic press ia trying to get

over the fact that Republicans did

Democrats almost lost, although all

that the country is not going, Republi-

The second week., to make his back
strong, he took daily ten mile walks
bearing key Of root beer on his

X In order to tougher the muscles OF
his arms and chest, he spent the third
week on his hands: and toes, raising
and lowering himself from and to the
floor, stopping only for meals and a
rapid survey Of the evening paper.
