A STATE Official carrying off the Dome¹ of the Capitol met the Ghost
of his predecessor², who had come out of his political grave to warn
him that God saw him.  As the place of meeting was lonely and the

Ghost replied that he had not eaten them, and while he was
explaining the situation another State Official silently added the
dome to his own collection.
