DOWN BRAK ES.

The Border Wa'ehman is response.
bio for the following characterised {
anecdote Of one Of our West Virginia
Senators:
Thurman sports red bandana band
kerchief and blows the loudest nose 10
America. 1t is said that on one
occasion Senator Davis. Of West Va,
who early 10 life had been q brakesman
on railway, dropped asleep at his
desk. Senator Thurman solemnl y
waved his red baudana and gave BIS
nose terrific snort. Tho Sleeping
Senator sprang to bis feet, and Selling
bis desk commenced twisting it with
all bis might lie afterwards explained
that he thought Thurman's blow was
an engine whistliug "down brakes"
and the red bandaua handkerchief q
signal Of distress, hence'his wrcnchiug
Of the desk.
We accept the anecdotc as both
characteristic and illustrative. The
habit Of w,tehfully guarding against
danger, acquired on tho railroad has
been carried into the Senate chamber.
Asleep or avake he answers to the red
signal. and is ready to clap on brakes
Let him be known as the Senatorial
brakeman.
