The various apartments in this old palace were used for Government offices when we were stationed there in 1889, and in one of these rooms, General Lew Wallace, a few years before, had written his famous book, "Ben Hur." On the walls were hanging old portraits painted by the Spaniards in the sixteenth century.
The only weapon the Ice Folk had was the stone ax which they may have struck into their huge prey when they came upon it sleeping or followed in the chase till it dropped with fatigue.

At the same time, the Republicans obtained nearly as large a majority in the House as the Democrats had had before.
