Il ate some of it myself
And she showed her empty plate.
ME Barbour salad was only a part of the
Il luncheon program. Everything is served
in simple, informal manner. The rule is that
no servants wait on table. Senate ladies bring
their own food, serve themselves, chat informally
over coffee and cigarets.
Early IN the morning, liveried chauffeurs
start bringing baskets of food to the dining hall
Certain Senators wives supervise everything the
laying OF FORKS and spoons, plates knives, dishes
BY o'clock, all is ready.
More than 100 Senate ladies appeared at table
There were no flowers. No soup was served
but the other courses-ah! The idea is to elimi-
nate all heavy dishes One started in with celery

discussed everything under the sum- with large

in. But there was no bitterness Only sunshine
and light dishes.

light haze of smoke the luncheon guests slyly re-
garded each others hats and dresses.

"Oh, I surely do" answered the
rabbit gentleman. I'll have some
plum jam, if you please Nurse Jane

keeper. But if you will go to the
woods and gather some wild plums
from a tree I'll make you some jam.
III do that" said the rabbit gen.
tleman. Il will gather the plums
and perhaps may have an adven-
ture."
You will need a ladder said
Nurse Jane.
"A ladder?" exclaimed Uncle

tree grew near babbling brook
The rabbit gentleman slanted the
ladder up into the tree and, put

a basket that was to hold the wild
plums, he began to climb.
There were many wild plums on
the tree, plump, reddish purple

Paul Voigemast, condemned mur-
derer, stoically lifted a "hemlock
cup" of deadly poison to his lips to-
day and fell dead, his own official
eXecutioner on behalf Of the state.
1t was the first legal self-eXecu-
ton in modern history, under Es-
thonias new law giving a con-
demned man the choice of being
hanged or killing himself with pois-
on.
In the grim military prison of
Reval, Voigemast was led into the
death chamber. Prison officials and
the prison doctor stood silently by.
The murderer was handed the
poison cup. containing potassium
cyanide-a poison so deadly that in
its pure form a drop on the tongue
kills almost like a stroke of light
ming. paralyzing the heart instant
ly
Voigemast's hands did not even
tremble as he took the cup. He did
not hesitate, but raised it to his
lips and gulped it down. With a
long shuddering intake of breath,
he was dead
Voigemast was a day laborer, aged
"a. He was convicted Of assaulting,
raping and numbering a 40-year-old
teacher, Hilja zoege.
Only once before has the hem
lock cup" test been offered to a
condemned man under Esthonia S
new criminal code, which was en-
dorsed by presidential decree on
February /, 1925. In that case, Jo-
names Nestra, who murdered his
mother, was proffered the cup but
refused 1t. He was hanged

Along Comes Fox
After a second while along came
the Fox The Fox saw the ladder
but he didn't see the Bob Cat asleep
in the bushes. The Fox also saw
Uncle Wiggily asleep up in the wild
plum tree.
"Ah, ho! All, hal" whispered
the Fox. Il will put the ladder
slanting up in the tree When I'M
Gle Wiggily wakes up he will come
down the ladder and / will catch
him at the bottom. While I am
waiting I will go to sleep in the
bushes" So the Fox went to Sleep

After a third while Uncle Wig

pink nose and finished filling his
basket with wild plums. Then he
climbed down the ladder, picked il
up and carried it back to the

The near champion is the Honorable
Charles Kramer, member of congress
from the thirteenth California district,
who won honors yesterday by sending
devastating (there's a swell word) right
to the Jaw of the Honorable Maury Nav
erick. member of congress from the
twentieth Texas district.
At the risk of being called a liar by
many readers who formerly called Texas
their home state, we put it in print that
Maverick didn't hit back. Oh he wanted
to all right, but two other honorable rep
resentatives jumped in and stopped the
match. We wish we didn't have to print
the next sentence but as we have to make
a truthful report of this affair it has to
go. Congressman Kramer left Washing

no suggestion relative to his departure

The trouble between the two congress
men resulted from an argument over
which is the better American. Kramer
is the author of an anti-sedition bill
Maverick has successfully blocked pas
sage of the bill in congress. Elated over
his success Maverick is asserted to have
walked up to the Californian and taunted
him about his German ancestry. The
Californian defended his parents loyal
ty to the United States and countered with
an insinuation that the Texan is Com
munist
Words continued until the Califor
mans arm shot out and connected with
the Texans jaw, and continued further
while the peace-makers held both men to
prevent further hostilities. The little af-
fair took place in the lobby of the house
of representatives.
