Entertaining a well known Democrat
as a personal guest recently, Harding
took occasion to tell an old mule story
used by stump Sieakers in tlie da)S when
politic was not so lady-like as now.
"The Democratic party." this orator
declared, "is like the mule. Ii has
oeilher pride of ancrxtry nor hope of
posterity."
Harding dors not like to d'scuss his
golf scores If he wins he feels onsporls
manlike in boasting: and if he loses
he waits for someone e,se to tell it. But
newspapermen have discovered how to
find out. Harding makes it a rule en
the links to smoke a cigarette only when
he wins a hole.
"Senator, how many cigarettes did you
smoke?" is the favorite question as he
comes in from the eighteenth hole.
