gembled multitude he was greetedwith applause There is somethingin Judge Tuckers looks which is sug-

gestive¬

of humor and he always startshis speeohes with astory or joke Thistime no exception to the generalrale He commenced by comparingJudge Walcott to a baby elephant andWas greeted with laughter For awonder fought shy of the tariifquestion launched out on soundmoney thus tacitly denying the state-ments
