 "Yes, I know it's little bit late
 but I've been sitting up with n slci
 friend"
 Madam, will you kindly come
 down and pick out your husband"
 Good night ladies, good night
 la-a-a-dies.'
 I'm going to get up on time to- morrow morning and get the jump on my work"
 2 Don't talk to me now. l had a lot of hard work at the office to- night" f3
 For heavens sake, Maggie, wash your face before you get into that bed. I can't get the rouge off the pillows at all"
 No, Willie, you can't have an- other cracker, You get crumbs all over the bed" "Oh, I'm not tired. Mother. 1 rest ed every second dance and my feet feel fine.'
 If you don't stop snoring I'll get a divorce
 Hey, give me half the clothes
 
 John, there's a burglar down stairs"
 Cant you keep your cold feet where they belong"
 If you don't go to sleep I'll send your father in with the strap"
 Voice from upstairs at 11:30; "Es- telle, don't forget to tell that young man to close the gate tight when he goes home."
 Governor Templeton's polite de- clination of the Mckinley associa- tion's invitation to attend its annual dinner is interpreted in only one way in political circles. The Mckinley dinner is roundup of Roraback chicftains and, naturally, the gover- nor would not feel at home in such gathering.
 The invitation was most likely ex- tended out Of courtesy to the posi- ton rather than to the individuaf. Roraback and Templeton don't play on the same teams. If they were per- suaded to sing duet one would sing tenor and the other bass. They are as far apart, in policy, as the two poles. MT. Roraback is suspected or MT. Templeton. and the feeling is reciprocated,
 MT. Roraback and his satellites elected Charles A. Templeton go'er- nor of Connecticut. Then they did their best to make him sorry he ever entertained political ambitions. What the Uhlans did in Belgium was mild compared with what the republican in Connecticut did to rem pleton. The machine rolled him Hat and then went over him again sev- pral times for good measure. Not a button on his vest remained intact. The bosom of his shirt and the back of the garment became one.
 After doing all these things the machine sent him a note saying Come on over to Harry Bonds, Charley, and sip some soup with us.' Perhaps it was the intention to serve him with some cold shoulder Any way. the governor discovered that he ,ad another engagement. One of the ,obs of a private secretary is to keep !, supply of engagements on hand. A private secretary who can't do that would make a good street sweeper. Governor Templetons secretary cant a broom but is shark with he pen, proving that the pen is nightier than the broom.
 The longer we live the funnier politics becomes. We won't be sur ,rised if the National Republican committee invites Woodrow Wilson to open it's convention with prayer. Or f George Quigley and orson Curtis play Santa Claus with each other next Christmas.
 However, the banquet will be a suc- sESS, RONeFlloE UT EONNihpts AA oi- | ways is. There is no end of rejoicing md hand shaking. One of the tests If good republicanism is to attend a Mckinley association banquet and be .ble to lift the right arm next morn- ng. If you cant do it you're not full fedged republican. That's why hey call J. Henry the 'iron man Of He can stand up longer Inder the hand-shaiking ordeal than ny other man in the party. He has Ield more palms than the busiest .ypsy fortune teller in the world. hey say Henry is smooth person. Ie ought to be. Shaking hands rubs if the rough spots. The friction oes it. Friction of that kind drives way friction Of another kind.
 Perhaps Governor Templeton will inc at the Eltop and enjoy himself. Ie can sit down gracefully without car that someone has sawed off one sg Of his chair. Or that one of the 'aiters has been paid 10 spill hot oup down his neck. Governor Tenn teton attended the Mckinley asso- iation dinner in Waterbury last year and heard the banqueters give hree cheers for Bingham as the next overnor. That was one course on he menu he didn't expect Perhaps bis year if he attended they'd ask i'm to sit with the orchestra.
