liEious argument for the passage of
the resolution. Senator Norris replied
to the argument OF his adversary,
and then, toward the close OF his
speech, amused Senators and spec:l
tors alike by exhibiting a number o.
samples Of wine and cider which hG
stated he had picked up in the differ.
ent counties last summer.
He had the chemical analysis of
every sample he displayed to prove
that the average alcoholic content
was about 10 per cent, though some
of the homemade wines he displayed
ran as high as Is per cent in alcohol.
Senator Frick made q short speech
in which he amused everyone in the
room by saying he had read the Bible
through and in only one place had he
been able to find a reference to a
man asking for water to drink and
he was in hell aand asked for only
one drop.

Professor Won Pirquet has arrived

take hand in it and once they
even threatened to take the
baby away from me. Miss Grey

since, but we all have our faults
in large or small degree.
