For six years bitter feud had eI-
listed between the browns and Roblr-
sons, next-dOOr neighbors. The trou.
bic had originated through the depre-
datlons OF Browns cat and had grown
so fixed an affair that neither party
ever dreamt OF making up" One day,
however, Brown sent his servant with
a peace-makiug note for Mr.. Robinson,
which read:
"Mr. Brown sends his compliments
60 Mr.. Robinson, and begs 20 state that
his old cat died this morning"
Robinson's reply was bitter
"Mr. Robinson is sorry TO hear OF
Mr.. Browns trouble, but he had not
heard that Mrs. Brown was ill.,"

Strange Gathering n Capital Repre-
SCENTS All Elements Of Party.

No stranger political concoction
ever was brewed than the assemblage
which gathered at the Metropolitan
club, with Representatiye-elect Medill
Mccormick, OF Illinois, as host. Mon
day night al Washington, ID, G.
The purpose Of the dinner was TO
discuse ways and means Of reuniting
the republican party. There were on
~ II men present. but they represent
cd all the extremes OF opinion that go
under the republican name.
There was William Mckinley, Of iii
nois, who managed the Eight in the
republican national committee IN 1912,
which nominated President Taft and
started the party on the road TO ruin.
And seated near Mr.. Mckinley was
Rep Frank james of Michigan, who
was read out OF the republican party
OF Houghton county. in convention as
sembled, the same year, because he
adhered to Roosevelt and the progress
Biye doctrines.
Erstwhiie Foes Present.
There was VIII H. Hays, OF Indiana,
who a. credited with saving that state
to Hughes by his progressive party
management, and former Senator
Hemenway, arch stand-patter OF the
same state who is credited with de-
feating Hays in the recent meeting Of
the republican committee in New York
for national campaign manager. And
there was Senator James Watson, of
Indiana, who is just now trying 10
hold his place squnrely between He
menway and Hays
There was "Gussie" Gardner. OF
Massachusetts. and Senator George w
Norris. Of Nebraska. both claiming &c

The others present were Nick
Longworth and Senator elect Calder
OF New York, counted as members o.

progressiyes.
There was general discussion ant
a very marked showing by the conser
natives OF desire TO be reasonable
and TO placate the insurgents.
One thing the progressives presen
were united on, was that the part,
must seek some other issues than tn,
protective tariff If they hope 10 com,
back TO power or even SO much a
hold the strength shown in 1916. l
was pointed out that opposition to tn
democratic scheme OF direct taxation
is all right, but that the average Amer

compelled to pay per cent on hi
income in excess OF per cent

Senators kenyon and Norris, Repre-
sentatyes James, Gardner and Others
argued that the party must adopt a
it's own a program Of Humanitarian
legislation such as old age insuranc,
federal workngmen's compensation
additional child labor laws Thes
men argued that the nation canno
