Grady wired for bis evening dress suit. He wished to attend a reception. When the satchel arrived at Grady’s apart- ments, bis roommate, Assistant Cor- poration Counsel Thomas J. Creamer, opened it, took out the dress suit and replaced it with one of his rainy day suits. “Let’s get a crowd of senators here when Grady opens that satcbel thie evening,” said Creamer. “All right,” said Senator Timothy B. Sullivan. “Hurry up and get the sena- tors.” As soon as Creamer left the room Sullivan took Creamer’s old suit out of the satehel and put back Grady’s ever- ing dress suit. Senators Coggeshall, Ahearn, Coffey, Featherson, Martin and McCarren were present when Grady opened the satch- el. As be carefully unrolled his dress suit the senators looked at Creamer.

It is also curious that of such figures “seven” is the most likely to be chosen and “one” the least likely His Imagination. During one of the Napoleonic cam paigns a Frenchman was tripped up by a spent cannon ball, but without being injured in any way. He thought both his legs had been carried off and lag on the ground al! night, suffering ex- cruciating agony and never moving for Next day the medical officer, coming aroun, said to him, “What has happened to you. comrade?’ “Ah.” he answered, “please touch me gently! A cannop ball has carried off both my legs!” The Oratory of Gallerus, The oldest Christian structure in Tre. land is a remarkable building, evident- ly very ancient, but wonderfully welb preserved, at Dingle. in County erry.
