The carpets on the floor were Nor was the 22,000, A hundred lions were brought out with Among the other spectacles of rare and stupendous luxury was a tree of gold and silver, spreading 38 large branches, on which, and on the lesser boughs, sat a variety of birds made of the same metals, as well as the leaves of the tree. The birds warbled their natural harmony, each in its Strains, the whole being effected by the spontaneous motions of machinery, Shih Huang Ti, builder of the Chinese wall, had a gorgeous palace of 1,001 also a large bathing pool filled with the oldest of fine and expensive wines. with those ancient days, the modern world does not know what lux- true, the situation is worse than Russia thought. A wise woman lets her husband make her do what she wants to do. Most people who have nothing to do make the mistake of doing it. An opportunity always looks bigger going than coming.

The house rules committer votes to report out, for consideration by the house, a very important reso- lution. The chairman of the com- mittee sticks this report in his pocket and refuses to present it to the house. The speaker of the house and the party floor leader support him in this. Finally, the committee chairman persuades a wobbly member of his committee fo change his vote, and the com- mittee rescinds its action, killing the resolution. ‘The committee chairman, Camp- ; the speaker, Gillett, and the floor leader, Mondell, neted at the behest of Wigher party leaders than themselves. It was a matter of polities. And that brings us to the point: It was very poor politics, It was the kind of polities that causes the New York Herald, the New York Tribune and the Chicago Tribune to despair.

Oh, it's then I want to go where there's no rushing to and fro, where Trains and trolleys do not roar, nor autos whiz; Where there's no one that I owe, where it's the Other Side of Nowhere, Though 1 haven't any inkling where that it! There are times when work is restless and the soul of me is restless For a change to something else than I have got; When I want to—how I want to! —£0 some place I've never gone to, Where I'll find—it doesn’t really matter what! I would beat it, I would blow where life's a diffrent kind of show, where There's a new and novel nots that I can strike; So I crave to up and go where it's the Other Side of No where, Though. I do not know at all what it is like! Yet I faney folks who grow where it’s the Other Side of Nowhere illogically wishing could be Where I find myself at present; and they'd doubtless find it pleasant If they might—on some occa- sions—swap with me; the Other Man's ex'stence seems entrancing—at a ais- tance— Though perhaps T wouldn't like it, after trial, But right now I want to go where it's the Other Side of No- where And just stick around and try it for awhile!

I am a working*man and, along with thousands of others, I would have to shoulder the heavy end of the burden while those who only have to go down town for pleasure have the light end, Why should we pay 7 cents to go to work while the movie fan and the street corner Capper and others who only ride down town can ride for 5 cents?
