"The Halls Of Montezuma." while
the 670 members and guests of the
club shouted, Hail, hail, the gangs
all here"
When order was restored, Gene
Buck, last years president Of the
club, was retired and with him Mr..
Light.
This" said the new dictator,
marks the passing Of the Buck
and the dousing Of the Light
Whereupon all the lights went out.
In darkness, the dictator declared:
"As I told you, I have no inaugural
speech-but ! have a proposal. It
now becomes my proud privilege to
propose q toast.
II bring you no new pledge, but
an ancient and changeless health
drunk by our fathers and our
fathers fathers over dimming years
that trail back to the day when this
great Republic was but a pulling
infant in the family of nations.
1T Is a toast acclaimed with
quickening pulse by Americas sons
wherever their lot may find them;
a toast well known to the burning
tropics, the frozen northland, the
lonely distant seas, the crowded
cities; toast hailed In every quar-
ter Of the globe.
Gentlemen, we drink the health
Of the President Of the United
States!"
Young Has . Hard Time.
When the four new members
were initiated into the mysteries Of
the Alfalfa Club, Mr.. Young, the
first candidate led to the alfalfa
crib, admitted that he had cribbed
some of Mr.. Hines annual report,
and started in on a peroration Of
alfalfa. Speaker Bankhead rose to
Mr.. Young's assistance and was
silenced, since the Speaker himself
had not been admitted to member
ship. Thereupon began legal row
led by Frank j. Hogan, former pres
ident of the American Bar Associa-
tion; Cliff Bergman, cartoonist Of
The Star, and Jay Hayden, Wash
ington correspondent.
After some confusion, Mr.. Young
was permitted to go on. as some one
shouted from the floor, who are
you?"
Mr.. Young replied, Everybody
knows me. Even President Roose-
velt knows mel cover the White
House"
Dictator Hines turned to the
President and asked, do you know
this man, Mr.. President?"
President Roosevelt looked dunn
founded. Finally he said, in a de-
cided drawl, that he'd been looking
at him now for quite while and
got the idea that he'd seen him
somewhere, away back-a long time
ago. He said he once knew a fellow
who looked just like him-his name
was Joe Zilch."
The entire assemblage stood on
Its feet and cheered.
A Third Term Mention.
When they had quieted the Presi-
dent said he'd been hanging around
the White House ever since Presi-
dent Cleveland's second admins
tration.
Dictator Hines then pinned the
President down: do you actually
know this MANI" he asked.
The President replied he did not.
Mr.. Young caused quite a ripple
of laughter when he said, He might
know me better in November-if
I had a vote"
That was a third-term hint, but
