Still At It UDGE had a notion that the song, ‘* When J This Cruel War Is Over,’’ composed and rendered more than half a century ago, was obsolete. But it would appear from this excerpt from a recent debate in Congress, published in the New York Sun, that some persons are fighting yet: It’s not very becoming in you, a New England Democrat, to object to discussion of plans for saving a billion-dollar cotton crop. When you attack my people, you attack me!"’ said Mr. Heflin. The handsome face of the big Alabamian flared as red as the neck of an angry gob- bler. His Byronic collar showed signs of dissolution, and the tails of his vast frock coat flapped in tune to his temper. Mr. Donovan was about to reply sputteringly, when Representative Gordon, of Ohio, a big man with a heavy brow and heavier voice, interposed. “Heflin, you’re not going to get any of your damned corntossel-currency meas- ures through this House !"’ “Nobody but a fool would say that!’ retorted Mr. Heflin, the sunset flare of his countenance turning to a rich purple as the veins of his forehead swelled. “It is a damned corntossel-currency plan, and you know it!’ roared Gordon, working his brawny shoulders menacingly. “Anybody that says that is a damned fool!" ejaculated Mr. Heflin, repeating himself for the first time. “That's about all I want to hear of that,"’ said Gordon, retiring from the en- counter, but not from the hall. “You'll hear a damned sight more of it if you'll stick around a little while,’’ was Mr. Heflin’s comeback. “Will 12” said Mr. Gordon, and then he went to the cloakroom. And what has happened to that govern- ing influence of discussion known as par- liamentary law? The Late G. K. Topper ‘ «GARRETT K. TOPPER is no more,"’ grimly remarked old Uncle Pepys. “He was a v-e-r-y superior person; he acknowledged the fact in the suave oro- tundity of his vocal profundity, the chas- tened condescension with which he toler- ated the rest of us, and the stateliness of the strut with which he passed among us and yet above us. He had no bad habits except his excessive immaculateness, and his daily walk was like a parade of the monuments of saints. His whole life was one perpetual reproof of the evils that other people enjoyed, and was carefully calculated to make us all feel the small and sneaking worms of the dust that we were, “T cannot understand why the dogs and Sorcerers and idolators, among whom he always made me acutely conscious that I occupied a prominent position, are here yet and getting along tolerably well, while he is out and gone. And I wonder if, after all, he didn’t suffer as much from being obliged to associate with himself as We undone and abandoned wretches did from having him in our midst.” Nature has many ways of warning man of danger. The sense of taste and smell both serve for your protection That skunky taste denotes decay and is often found in beer from light bottles. Why take the risk?
