Just as he waa proaching his point the Amen Com ner orchestra, alded and abetted by undry irreverent Ameners, struck up ‘In the Good Old Summer Time,” anu feenator McCarren was halted on the \very edge of his triumph, } Again and again the Senator tried to Ml that story, but just as regularly was he interrupted, until finally ne the best way out vf a hopeless situa- tion, for he never had a chance to finish the tale. At the very beginning the Amen Corner decided that that story. would never come to its legiti- ate consummation, and if the Sena- for had forced the’ issue martial Jaw would have been declared fo stifle the int. Senator McCarren was not alone in is exper! ‘That time-worn di- Bester of well-cooked dinners, Senator Chauncey M.
