We knew fellow once that had a couple of kids. He was one of the stingiest men in our neighborhood. He used to give the kids nickle each to go to bed at night without their suppers. He saved food that way. After the kids were asleep he would sneak upsairs and steal the money from them and and then lick the kids in the morning for losing it. His brother lives in Douglas and he refused to buy a ticket to the baseball dance at the Nat. tonight, but ne will be at every ball game this season lust because the ball grounds are not en- closed.

X strange and uuwoutcd stiffness hangs over the Capital City these days. Nothing seems to matter much. Time is out of joint. The hotel Hobbies are not so gay and crepe js hanging ou the doors of the beauty parIorS. The reason k not hard to fud ir onc passed the halls of the legislature where no more the wclku rings with the voices of thc siIycr-tougucd orators of the two houses. They have departed, leaving behind them but a memory and maybe some broken hearts Back to the hills and the cities they have gone. to take up their usual pro>aic occupations and tell admir- ing groups of their constituents gathered around thc old homts how they with their voices and votes saved the day at Juneau, where thc legislature meets. They had their little day in the public eye and will furnish material for conversation for a little while in their home communities or or until the icc breaks on the river or until there is a good dog fight i'm town, and then they will be done. and the hand in the vest and the pompous manner will go out of style until the next campaign.
