 And for awhile I tried to rememebr what the words of the first two lines were and what the rest of the song and then l thought of a girl who sat at the next table to the boys.
 She was with a party of six or eight and they were beginning their supper
 with raw oysters. The girl had picked up big Lynn Haven Bay oyster on her fork. and as she got it almost to Ter mouth, q man in the party said something to her. Then she laid the oyster down again to answer him and when she pick ed it up again some one else spoke to her and she had to lay it down again. l grew interested, and seven times that girl picked up that big oyster before she got a chance to eat it.
 When I was through thinking about that l got to thinking about whether it hurt raw oyster when you bit it. and then 1 thought how l would hate to be an oyster. It can't walk. or talk or even cry out when 1t is bit in half, and then I remembered about the pearls that grew | in them, and I remem bered that I was | just crazy for a new string of pearl | beads.

Mir Reavis admitted that the committee had refused to recommend | the Kelly amendment because it would give Baker an opportunity to shove responsibility onto others for delay in | distributing food. He declared that | since the adoption of the Kelly amend

 are in his own language:

 not built that way. He is a political ] trickster.

C. o. ?. Behind Closed
 Doors RoastDen1ocrats
Every Move Now Being Made by Party in Congress Has Its Bearings on Campaign of Next Year and Re
 publicans Are Showing Serious Alarm
By HUGH W. ROBERTS

Washington, September 7.-(SpeciaD As a result of knowledge of details of . caucus on the part of House republi- cans, The Age-Herald can demonstrate that the G. O. P. is deliberately and studiously playing politics against the events of 1920, and that they are dreadfuIly frightened, despite their handsome majority in the House, lest democrats outgeneral end surprise them.
 The caucus was held behind closed doors, and the proceedings guarded with unusual care. The republicans talked among themselves with perfect frankness. To each other. they showed their hole cards,' to each other they admitted their political purposes, and all of them united in plea that each stand by his party leader.
 In the beginning, Representative Mondell, republican leader, urged his party to eliminate it's opposition to the Mondell bill intened to give farms to discharged soldiers. As if to illustrate tho partys opposition to the measure, Representative Nichols moved that the bill be not brought up again in the House until another conference had been held. The motion prevailed. The leader, MT. Mondell, then talked very plainly. He argued that "it would be very unfortunate for it to go to the country that the republicans has des- troyed the only bill introduced so far for the benefit of the soldiers of the nation.''
 whereupon, in response to this plea 1 of political expediency, MT. Nichols ] withdrew his motion with the under standing that the bill would not again I be considered until the republicans had caucused a second time. Representa- | tive Cannon of Illinois, whereupor laconically remarked that the bill would never have reached the floor had the lipublic lands committee not violated its word that it would hold the bill. Re lpresentative Mondell pledged his wort that if the republicans would not by iformal resolution 'pigeon-hole' his measure, it would not be produced sagain until republicans had caucused.
 Therefore, it may happen that re- gpub1icans will continue to talk for poll. tical effect regarding the farms the, tare preparing for soldiers. But repub hcans, while talking, will be awar' lthat the bill could not demand a ma Jority vote of the republican member ship.
 The caucus was full of bitter com plaint. Representative Reavis almos wept because 30 republicans had voted for the Kelly amendment under whicf the secretary of war was authorizes

refers to direct action by the workers in order to obtain naturalization of the
 mines which is strongly demanded by a
 powerful group of underground workers.
 Virtually the entire labor party of the
 House of Commons will be present at the congress and will participate in the va
 rous deba tes. including those on resolu- tions affecting standardization of the banks, a shorter working week, mothers pensions, a capital levy for paying off the war debt, recognition of police unions, housing reforms and finally. the problem of the industrial output The action of | the congress on the resolution, it is said I in political circles, will be the most val | uable indication of how the thinking | workingman, as represented by the trades
 unions, will act in the coming politi- l ical campaign.

MADDEN IS AFTER NATIONAL JIM CROW LAW

washington September 7.-(Special:) Representative Madden of Illinois, is pleading for the adoption by Congress of nation anti-jim-crow legislation. He argues that on account of the negros participation in the war he is entitled to ride in Pult ltmans and street cars in contact with whites.
 Some months ago, MT. Madden. while arguing in the House certain meas
 ure relating to the intermingling or the
 races, was asked if he would be will ing for a member of his family socially

to mingle with a negro. The question was not answered. The latest effort of Madden is re-
 garded as untimely, unwise and unfor-
 tunate.

Tn, room had been absolutely quiet for fifteen minutes Neither Andrew nor
 Imogene was reading and neither had
 spoken word until he broke the silence
 with the remark: Honey what are you
 thinking about?'
 Before she could answer he event on:
 Il want you to remember just what 5ou
 were thinking about when l spoke, for
 have sat watching your face for 10 mln-
 utes and watching the various express
 sions fit across it. 1 want you to re-
 member just what you were thinking
 about when l spoke, and l want you to
 trace back your thoughts from that point and tell me all that you have been think
 ing about. I want you to follow them
 back just as small boy would back track himself in the snow.
 .All right" laughed Imogene, '1'i try to do it. When you spoke to me I was look ing at your cravat pin. It is question
 mark of. small diamonds and it reminded
 me that yesterday I saw Lou Tillyou on the street and she had a feather sticking up in her hat that was curled into an exact dulicate of that question mark, and I was snickering to myself and wonder ing if the question in Lous case was when she was going to find man to marry her Then I made a little mental pun and thought to myself, Lou Tfll- you, you will never marry until you get another face.
 You know, Andrew, men are queer | things That girls as bright and sweet | as she can be, but men won't marry l homely women. This set me to thinking how queer men are, and I thought how | funny it is that you press your paJanas | with creases on the sides and yet press ] your trousers with the creases on tho | front and rear, and l was wandering il 1 it was done so that the sharp edges oi | the creases on the trousers would cut the wind when you walked and so you would | not have to sleep on the creases of tht pajamas at night
 1 This made me think of lot of college | boys that I saw in the Cafe Royal ont night, for they all had their trousers l to mingle with a negro. The question was not answered.

FINE HOGS.

Of better live stock has been con-

years, states that he has inocculated
over thirty-fiye hundred hogs in
this county since the first of the
year. A large per cent of this num-
Der are part of permanent herds used
for breeding purposes
This gives one an idea of the de-

years. Hogs have proven a money
crop. they are easily raised and our
lands are well adapted to pasturing
and raising food crops for their fin
