that the immediate prospect Is one ot
hopefulness.
Ill their opinion the uncertainty due
to tariff and financial changes and
the shock caused by the European

of them said they were not sure

The Commonsr graciously smiled on
the madamOt who .t next to him, as she
recited with vigorous gssturss the story
of her dealings with certain politicians.
He seemed to know something good was
coming, for the madams had sxtolled
his own address of the .veiling before
on the "CaUSSS of the War" and the
speech of the morning as "One of t'1'
most wonderful ad.' esses she had ever
heard."
"You see." th. madams continued, "a
man came to me I will not nam.- htm
and asked lite to sing at a meeting of
the Progressives.
"I had never heard of the Progres
sives and asked him What It w-as they
were trying to do. Oh,' he said, 'we are
trying to get pure milk for the bubles.1
"That ton. hid my mother's heart. I

announced next morning in big head

"At s o'clock my telephone bell rang

" 'Madame, what do you mean singing
for th,- Progressives'." he said. 'You

"Mr. Hoosevelt didn't know- I had can

Mr. Bryan smllsd at tin- Madsme and

Then came the outburst, "I Just de
