THE NORMAL RECORD. 13 coming up to the golden gate he rang the bell and waited. With dignified tread a man came and opened the small window at the side and asked the question, " Who's there ?" The Senator from Idaho said, "I, me, the Senator from Idaho." The gate-keeper replied, saying, " You may enter now, but an examination of your life and charactei will come up in a few days and you may be turned out again." The Senator from Idaho let loose one of those condescending smiles, the gates flew open, and, as he walked up the long corridors, a " Rebert's Rules of Order " could be seen conspicuously placed in one of his pockets. The Senator employed himself looking about the ground two days, when the trial was brought up. The Big Medicine Man sat as Chairman, with twelve wise advisers near him as the jury. The Senator was to present his own defense. There needed no calling to order, and the Chairman presented the following complaints against the Senator: "Mr. Senator, during your stay upon my congenial outpost—the earth—I find that you have done many exceedingly wrong things. You have bee a a little selfish in your " The Senator did not wait for the statement to be completed, but rose hastily from his seat and yelled out, "Mr. Chairman, I rise fer information. I " A frown crossed the Chairman's face as he said in a stern tone, "This is no place for such haranguing, and I will have none of it." The hot blood surged to the Senator's cheeks, as he again yelled out, "Mr. Chairman, ' Robert's Rules of Order' say that rising for information takes precedence over anything but the orders of the day." Jerking the book from his pocket, the Senator continued: "Just look on page 2, Article III, Section V, if you don't believe it. It reads " "Stop a moment," interrupted the Chairman, "we will go on with the trial and the giving of complaints, and then you may raise any points in your favor that you may choose." The Senator awkwardly acquiesced. "As I said before," continued the Chairman, "you have been a little selfish, dominated a little over society by a few technical points which you had at your tongue's end " The Senator jumped up, indignation showing itself upon every line of his face. " Mr. Chairman, I want to know if I have to set here and listen to these outrageous complaints with no chance to protect myself." "Just hold on a moment, Mr. Senator, I told you before that you should have the floor when I got through, and you must check yourself until then." The Senator fumbled the "Robert's Rules of Order," and muttering something about, "not according to Constitution," slowly sat down. The Chairman went on piling up accusations while the Senator sat uneasily in his chair and inwardly writhed. If only the Senator from California were there to help him out with legal advice ! Several times he leaned forward preparatory to getting up, while his ears took on all shades and hues of red, but his judgment evidently got the better of him for once, and he remained there until the Chairman had completed his statements. The Senator then startled the whole heavens by _ a speech so interspersed with "Robert's Rules of Order," and according to something or other, that the wise men and the Chairman gave up trying to follow him, leaving all to his speech. The wise men looked dubiously at one another. The silence was only broken by the Chairman, who, rising, said, "As the Senator has so thoroughly defended himself, has shown that his whole life on earth was not given to foolishness, but to the study of something which, I am sorry to say, I am not well up on, I move you that we admit him to these grounds, and that he be made our legal adviser in every sense, also that several copies of those "Robert's Rules of Order " be obtained, enlarged and distributed among my people, as they may be greatly benefitted by them." All the wise men nodded their assent in unison. The dream was interrupted for a few minutes, but it seemed a few years in dreamland, and as I looked again I saw the, Big Medicine Man seated upon his throne. About him were the wise men and the Senator—the legal adviser. All was peace. In front of him, embossed in gold, and upon a gold stand, were two immense books—the Koran and " Robert's Rules of Order." Trojia.
