Samuel Sullivan Cox, having earned

considerable zeal in pinning nicknames

to borrow q bit of rhetoric to en-

Congressman Julius Caesar Burrows
of Michigan was an able orator and
occasionally he would borrow a flower
from the garden of rhetoric. One day
Burrows made his associates sit up

AS she spoke Nanny caught up the
paper from its position in the center

from capacious pocket, struck it and
set fire to the paper.
