The proposed exchange OF tho
Goddess Of Liberty on the Capitol
dome for a spouting teapot with
the lid half off, surrounded by a
group Of angels is highly symbol.
cal. Mr.. Wheeler Of the Anti.
Saloon League, will explain the
exchange Of liberty for q teapot;
and Mr.. Fail will elucidate the
reference to a Teapot Dome. The
good angels, striving to remove
the lid completely, against the
desperate struggle Of the bad ones
to keep it on, attest the highly dyRr
matte motif Of the design.
The mosaic work. Of which the
figures are composed. IL Of the
most amazing intricacy. The ar
fist who conceived the scheme,
Mr.. Sinclair, tells US that he used
in it's construction, 10000 pieces
Of silver, symbolical Of the now
undisputed fact that Judas Is
CARROT was a bum.
The provision that the spout
ing Of the utensil IL to continue
only while Congress remains In
session is an especially clever
touch. az indeed It needs to be. II
It Is to keep within smelling dis.
lance Of it's original.
Any Senator will appreciate the
symbolism Of the hot water, al
though the suggestion that any

lies beyond the original concep.
ton Of the masterpiece.

A Sooner.
THE defendant stopped behind
a street car that was taking on a
crowd OF passengers at Good Hope
road yesterday morning, your
honor. He started forward as the
last man put his foot on the step
and a fat man who. had been de-
layed by !, the crowd started to.
A Few Brief Remarks.
With one foot on the ground
and the other on the step the fat
man saw the defendants mud
guards about six inches away
and yelled some words that might
have come out Of prayer book
and might have been an extract
from mule drivers address to q
stalled team.
A Fat Chance.
The passenger was too heavy to
jump back on the car and too
protruberant to stand there with
out danger, and the defendant
was too close to turn and was go
ing too fast to stop in time.
There was only one thing to do,
and the fat man sat down on the
step and leaned back to have
some mud medals affixed to his
stomach.
"The defendant stopped with
his rear wheels about opposite
the fat mans center Of gravity
and then went over to No. II
with me on the running board"
One Thing Clear, Anyhow.
Boob: when I saw the last
passenger climbing onto the car,
l started up. Everything seemed
to be all clear"
you should have waited until
the doors were closed. The court
cannot understand why motorists
will take chances with this i'm
