By the way, we didn't know that the school bouse was a temple, and that none but saints could enter therein; tberelore we Dinners will have to be coDtent with what we get. We asked 1 bread and they gave us stone. But "all's wt-ll i that eDds well." Mr. W. K.

There Is also In this handbook a speech delivered by Representative D. E. Flnley during Ibe last seKHion of Congress. It Is noteworthy that out of the many speeches made by Democrats In the last Congress these two are considered of such a convincing character that they have been used In tbe preparation of tbe campaign text book with otners.
