His friends would, h&ve had! difficulty in recognizing him. One . late afternoon ha sat on his uaual park benoh hungry He took from his pocket a grubby apple which was to be his meal. Hei peared. About an .hour later turned. •' . . Parade-of Pale' • Marching through the door General Tom held open were all tf\e former members of Barnumte side-, show It was a strange procession --all those human freaks--but tlie sight was one to gl&dden Barnum'a heart and bring & suspicious moisture to his eyes. One and all they greeted him warmly. They had forgiven him. "Friends."- he , mumbled. 'just seein' you all agafn an* not holding any malice against me, makes me want to cry " ^ . - "Mr: Bariium," a voice cut-in;. The sight - of thet speaker made Barnum's jaw. set. and a flush of anger came into his face. It was M,me Zorro--the bearded l,ady Even she had- come back. - General Tom came to the rescue. "M'rae. Zorro's repented." he urged. And a moment later the two ene* mies were shaking hands.. "And now jet's tell him why we came here, ' said the Cardiff Giant. "Twenty-four hours more," General Tom. was speaking; "and it would have been too late. J. P. Skiff's opening a museum and we were going to sign up with him." "What!" Barnum roared. "Skiff thinks he can run a museum, does he?" "He can't now, Mr. Barnum--but is "We'll start all over again," he pledged. rubbed it against his coat, and it slipped from his weakened fingers and fell to the ground. As he bent over to recover it a huge sheep dog pounced upon it.. Barnum made a futile effort to snatch .it from.the pillager's mouth. . There came a voice in thin, piping command: "Spud! Put down that apple." . Barnum looked up to recognize &t the other end of the dog's long leash a familiar little face set on. a familiar .little body, General Tom Thumb.! ° ^ There was astonishment and Shame on their respective faces as each identified the other. • Barnum tried, to' be Jocular an casual. " 'Lo. General--still prosperin'?" The midget was too embarrassed at first to answer. "I'n\ sorry about Spud taking your apple," he said finally. "B'all right; I threw It away," Barnum said. The lie intensified the gnawing in his stomach. General Tom knew he was lying. He forgot his past animosity in his sympathy for the dejected looking man who had been his friend. "We were wondering what became of you," he said. "Oh, I been around--lotsa big business deals comin' up," Barnum replied. "Been at the Hot Springs quite a bit lately--rheumatism." "That's a shame." He must do something for him. "Won't you come home with me to supper? Laviiiia d be delighted to see you again." "Thanks. I already ate. General." General Tom was about to take leave, but he could not. He became insistent. Barnum, as usual, was obdurate. But the midget fairly dragged -him out of his seat. The sight began to f '.tract the curiosity of onlookers, sr Barnum permitted himself to be I i away. The Genert i's wife, Lavinia. treated him like a long-lost Mend, fehe fed him until his huge sides groaned. The General, after hastily bolting a mouthful of food, disapyou can. We'll work for you for nothing till business gets going."- ' "You bet we will," was the chorus that followed the General's suggestion: 1 • "General, you're the littlest ma,n in the world--but you're still a bigger man that I could ever be," ^aid' Barnum as he extended his hand to General Tom. There came a knock on-the door. The General and his wife exchanged glances, then General Tom went to the door. "There's someone who's been looking, high and low for you, P. T^." • said Lavinia. General Tom opened the door and dffcovved. There stood -Nancy. Barnum had lost his world-'-but it had been returned to him. They all set to with a will giving Barnum's museum a new start. The night before it was to open a henchn^an of the villainous Skiff set fire to the old frame building. Barnum, Nancy and the. troupe stood around and watched it burn to the ground. Fate had shut the door of opportunity on him again. But once again It was opened. For 6. Walsh had already arrived in the country with another wonder of the world--Jumbo, the biggest elephant in captivitv. Mine. Lind already had a husband, and that romance was over. There was murdev in Barnum's eyes when Walsh first confronted him, but unlike Walsh's elephant. Barnum could forget. 1 "We'll start over again," they pledged with clasped hands. "Sure--Barnum and Walsh," but Barnum shook his head. "That don't rhyme right. By the way, Mr- Walsh, what's your first name?" "It's a family secret." said Walsh grinning. "My first name is Bailey." *'T)iat's it." Barnum shouted. "Barnum and Bailey. A hundred years from now people are liable to still be talking about us. Barnum and Bailey--the Greatest Show on Earth." Time confirmed BtratB'l prophecy.

Messrs. Matthews, Blomgren and Esping served on comhiittees. Washington, March 13 - It is charactristic oft he investigative manie of Congress to direct their hea^y artillery on everything except the visible target. The scatter-gun shots against the New Deal have hit' nvany objects but .the real "cogs Within the. wheels" have thus far'escaped the Congressional spotlight. There are over a score of probes underway at Capitol Hill. Not,one, it seems,.has considered it worth while to push the scalpel under the surface and uncover the pulsating nerve-centers of all New Deal legislation. -Instead of groping around swith "big names" the official investigators would find a formidable band of youths -- the lawyers and economisi. s-- doing jthe actual work of thinking out pew schemes and carefully phrasing their .suggestions*, into innocuous drafts of proposed laws. A new jurisprudence based on untested economic theories: is no# in a formative stage. ... " Conscious of th«S growing power arict arrogance of the younger element --•* the real "Brain Trust" --, soberminded officials are desperately . endeavoring to throttle this influence in public affairs. The recent "purge" of thie legal division of the Agricultural Adjustment Administration was the first step. Jerome Frank, the chief counsel, insisted on running against "stop" orders by writing tricky phrases into proposed amendments. The stubborn Mr. Frank was quickly transfered to other fields. A survey of the personnel in the legal divisions of the new alphabetical agencies-discloses that the majority of lawyers are young and fr§gh from the classroom. Few of these legal lights have been in actt^al practise and know nothing of court-rbom procedure aside from the-information gathered in text books. Yet it is noteworthy that these barristers are weaving cob-webs for farmers and industrialists which cannot be lightly brushed away, The agitation in organized labor circles for the Wagner Labor, Disputes bill which establishes their control over all forms of collective bargaining, the thirty-hour measures and other legislative proposals would soon be hushed if Congresss would yield to~the unionists in revision of N.R.A. It is an open secret that labor chieftains want more power in code matters as a stepping-stone toward their deeplaid schemes of controlling management. They are not content to restrict their code activities to labor provisions, but want a voice in fair trade practise and other features heretofore considered problems of employers. A show-down on labor's bid for dictatorial power is in the offing. The last minute effort to iblock "Paul Pry" from snooping into income tax • returns has af ar greater signifcance than recognized by the avefage taxpayer.. The )pendir4er legislation which will find obstacles in the Senate this week, is intended to eliminate the requirment to make public "the pink slips" or summaries of income tax returns. This repeal measure overlooks another vital section of the income tax law, which requires corporations to submit a list of the names of all officers and employees and the accounts paid to them either in salaries, commissions, or bonuses. It is true that this regulation does not apply to incomes under $15,000 a year. Ordin^ arily, there would be no objection "to submitting the information, if, as in prior years, it was considered confidential. There is a section in the new law, which requires the Secretary of the Treasury to submit an annual report to Congress revealing all this information. Therefore, the tax returns of the more successful classes will be available to the public for a few cents in government documents. It's the old story of "everybody's business is nobody's business." • While it is generally conceded that* day afternoon, the Townsend old age pension plan has no chance of passage in either the Senate or House, the inflation question is again before the Congress with the bonus issue ready for consideration. There are two bonus schemes before the House with little difference in their ultimate ecects on the taxpayers. The Vinson bill, which the veteran's lobby considers more conservative than the Patman measure will probably pass .the House. There are many lawmakers who are publicly voting for the .bonus measure but are secretly praying that the President will adhere t<^ his promise to veto. Behind the Senate's mud-slinging stage play, which has given Huey Long full opportunity to display his "nuisance value", is a pretty political plot. Fr. Coughlin, the radio priest, and the noisy Louisiana Senator have been sapping the Democratic Party to such an extent that the wiseacres around town see nothing but a cleavage within the ranks. The split is calculated to react to the advantage of the Republican candidate for presidency in 1936. The prophets figure that the folks swayed by the harangue of the two radio crusaders will not vote for Roosevelt. A protest vote will result in a division designed tp insure the election of a G. O. P. slate. It is a subject for conversation in drawing rooms and round the coal-stove league. This community was saddened Thursday morning by the death of on« of its highly esteemed citizens E. C. Hawley. Mr. Hawley ran the general store and also the meat market for a gpod many years. He was Justice of the Peace and also was the vice president of the former Ringwood bank.
