and we had a company that would
have made Napoleon's best ashamed of
themselves.' There Is a rumor circu
lating that the S. A. T. 0. scared the
Iluns into signing the armistice. This
we will not deny.
But now, "Private Bill," getting
down to serious business, we find It
an indispiutable fact that this organiza

Naturally, the question arises, What is
a real American? lIe is one who Is

to his country. lie is a reformer, not

A dyed In tho wool Southerner, Mr.

I have sent word and sent word to
that man to bring his invention up and
let ine see it. I want to be publicity

falled to appealr. Holwever, I want you
all as witnesses, for no less a person
than his good lady said I surely minght

to tell It aloud. lie ha.h been offered
a handsoime sumn for the patent and I
suspect he'd better tako It. You know
