 "It was terribly sad, and yet, in q way, funny" the friend said. 'Therc he was, with nothing in his hand, yet winding up and throwing his arm for all he was worth. The IoSa)er told me the fellow suffered from . deIusi0ns that he was a big league pitch- er."

 "If this situation fin Tammany don't clear up pretty soon, may go up and catch for him."
 SAD SAD STORY
 The senate's enactment of the District of Columbia liquor li- cense bill was one of the most hilarious spectacles that historic chamber has seen in many months.
 There was no question on it's passage. The only issue was that raised by a few drys who want ed to substitute government operated dispensaries for the proposed licensing system.
 North Carolina's poppy, thrice- married Senator Bob Reynolds, in charge of the bill, put an end to this effort. In doing 50 he convnlsed the senate, with a graphically poignant dissertation on the evils of the dispensary. Said he:
 "I am opposed to the saloon. But take the dispensary. You are on your way home. You are tired, feel the need of a lit- tie stimulant. You stop in at dispensary. You buy q pint. You may even buy quart.
 "You take it home, sit down, open the bottle, and say, Well, I'll just take one little drink. That little drinks gets down there and 1t is lonesome. Then you say, Well, I'll take another little drink, and that other little drink gets down there and they get to fighting.
 "Then you say, Well, that will never do. I'll have to send down another little drink to separate them.' So you send that third little drink down to separate them, and then, before you know it, there is a rough house and the whole bottle is gone."
 What happens then?" asked Minnesota's blind senator Schall breathlessly.
 "You go to bed" Reynolds ad- vised, and sat down.
 The senate passed the bill without even roll call.
