There was deafening outburst.
| Recently a Milwaukee member was
chairman of a committee for special
purpose and when the home paper ar
rived from the state metropolis he
seized it hurriedly, looked at it a mo-
ment, then threw it down in disgust.
Approached as to the reason for being
peeved, said: "Why, l was chairman
of that committee and they gave me
only four lines"
, There is a very dry" man in the
assembly. Not long ago Madison gave
the solons a banquet, a leading citi-
zen accompanying each member. The
dry man was assigned to the presi-
dent Of the University of Wisconsin
and he felt quite a bit "puffed up" AS
part of the program at the banquet,
there was a legerdemain by an ex-
pert. He made silver coins roll out of
, the ears of some of them, pulled rab-
bits out of the pockets of others, and
when he placed his arms about the
t"dry" gentleman he pulled a flask
from his inside pocket. There was
great laughter and the prohibitionist
then knew whey he was placed at the
speakers table with the president of
the great university. He was game
when handed the flask and placed it
in his pocket, AS he was about to
leave the dining room the individual
performing the tricks came running
after him and demanded the flask, He
explained he must have it for the next
performance.
When one Of the solons- arrived in

some cards to pass out when he met
strangers. He conferred with a friend
as to a suitable card and his friend
with chuckle in his sleeve) told
him that he should have a picture of
the seven million dollar state house on
his cards. Many business men have
pictures of their business blocks or
factories on their stationery and the
sOlon thought it a fine idea Presently
he appeared with his cards and he re-
ceived such EXPLANATIONS as: "Um!
You have some building, haven't you,
Mr.. Vestbuster. ~ The cards have
created no end of amusement in leg
islative halls.
One Of the solons at Madison makes
a hobby of fresh water pearls. He
carries specimens valued at several
hundred dollars around in his hip
pocket. He is we'll informed on pearls
and knows all about clans.
A man who was continually losing
his collar button while dressing COM
planned to his wife about it, according
to a Western paper. With an ingen-
uity born of the use of hairpins she
told him to hold his collar button in
his mouth and he wouldn't lose it.
This worked for several days, when
one morning she was startled by an IN
usual commotion What's the matter?'
asked the wife anxiously. 1--WE swal-
lowed the collar button" gasped the
man. WELL" responded his better
half, "for once in your life you know
where it is.''
The mountain lion, according to
Professor Armstrong, a California
naturalist, is the most wonderful
gymRast in all nature. He tells of
seeing a lion jump downward and then
while in mid-air, turn almost sixty
degrees to one side, SOFAS to make a
landing he could not have seen when
he leaned. And OF another that
