Now let me take you into my con-

was very common in our midst and

his colleague, Edmunds. that il rum

been running from the ayes and noes

If you were to ask Senator Evarts
If he made such a remark he would
doubtless tell you, If you read 1t in
the newspaper it must be true. But
the trouble about such humor is, the
newspaper where it originates never
gets credit for it. Not long ago the
