a few days ago attacking the

ing a liberal appropriation for
" preparedness. Senator Tillman
, made reference to the fact that
' he intended to retire from the
j Senate at the end of his present

' Senator Thomas, of Colorado,
at this point saw fit to indulge in
laughter. Immediately Senator
I Tillman called his flippant colleague
down in substantially this
language: "I am not like you
' fellows in Colorado; when I say
a thing I mean it." Senator

meant any harm, and that he

bit of comedy amused the senate.
