Tho gold standard bill passed by tho

a house bill to authorize the sale of

a vote of 43 to 31 n bill for tho frco

time Helen had thus taken on the

so good about it that presently her
elder sister crept up into the room to
see how she was getting along and
to tell her story. She found her with
hands clinched around her doll and
with her eyes and mouth screwed up
tightly. Helen opened her eyes with
a start and gasped: "Oh, sister!"
"Why, what's the matter, Helen?"
"Well you see, this doll is afraid,
and I hnvo to hold her hand. She is

"Nonsense, dearie," the sister said.
"Oh, but she's afraid of more than
that robbers and burglars!"
"Well, why didn't you tell her that
