WY HAT is officially known as "House
W. Resolution Sixty-six," recently adopt

W HAT aa., is Officially known ns. as House
ed by both branches of congress
without one syllable of dissent, authorizes
an expenditure not in excess OF twenty-five
hundred dollars ''for the determination and
Punishment of insects from the house office
building, the Capitol, and the senate office
building" The more subtle implications of
tie measure appear in question and answer
that arose in the house. AS the Record
has it:
Mr.. Garner-Why is the resolution so
framed? I understand from the read
ing that it applied only to the senate.
Mr.. Ireland-No, there are few bugs
in the house."
May we not suggest, without meaning to
be officious, that the amount of the appro-
priation is sadly inadequate for the task in
hand? AS well might Heracles have gone to
work on the Aegean stables with a whisk
broom, as well might a flapper essay to
whiten Stone Mountain with powder puff as
for anyone to think of getting quit of all the
bugs in Congress by an outlay of only twenty
five hundred dollars. The present admins
tration is often charged with extravaganza,
but here, assuredly, its offense is parsi-
parsjmony.

MY FAVORITE STORY
BY Irwin Cobb
A DAY THAT MADE HISTORY

1t was Charley Hoyt, the greatest of
American satirical dramatists, who on re-
ceiving a wire from rather pompous and
self-sufficient comedian saying 81 desire to
play the leading role III your new comedy"
turned the message over and wrote on it the
following reply to be cent by telegraph, col
'lect: You stand pract aally alone in your de-
sires.
Hoyt's wit operated like that-instantan-
eous.y and with emphasis One night shortly
before his death he was leaning against the
bar OF chop house whom an actor who was
VIGOROUSLY stingy cane in, accompanied by
two friends The CT Jse-fistcd one and Hoyt
were rot on the best Of terms, but the for
mer was feeling bit mellow himself and,
ilo"ed by sudden and almost unprecedented
burst of generosity, he turned to the play
wright and said patronizfngly.
Charley, will you join us? I'm buying
this drink"
1 certainly will" said Hoyt, always glad Il
to assist in the celebration of any truly his
toric event.

THE OLD GARDENER SAYS.

.Peones do not like to be disturbed. There
are plants still blooming which ehave not been
moved for more than century. Nevertheless
it is a good plan to split up large clumps,
which is readily done at this season by driv
ing two garden forks, back to back, into the
clumps which have been dug up. When the
fork handles are forced apart, the roots are
rent asunder without much loss. When set
ting the divided clumps into the ground, dust
them all over with pulyerized lime, and firm
the soil well around them.

him how big and brave and strong he is,
before she casually points to the fact that
it is time to hang the portieres again.

the woman who forces him to throw her

throw him over.
Nowadays a girl insists on beginning life
at the last chapter-and then wonders why
there are no new thrills and surprises left
in it as she goes along.
Love smiles on brave man, grins at a
coward-and laughs out loud at daredevil
No doubt, on Judgment Day, every mar
ried man will be half an hour late rising, IL
his wife doesn't call him; and then he'll
expect her to hang around and find his
wings for him.
In love, women are wise by intuition;
men, only by accident.
