TIE Boy AND THE SENATOR
Tinted States Senator Grover, OF Ore
oon ia the subject of a neat little joke
which is pointed because it is true
Tost summer he was a member OF the
special Indian Commission aud was up
in Oregon with that party. They
desired to visit the camp OF the Ne2
perces Indians, and had telegraphed
ahead along the railroad for such trans
nortatlon as would convey the whole
narty. The assembling OF teams collec'
ed quite crowd of people, who thrsng-
sd the deoot and gazed upon the cele'
brires without any particular idea ol
what they meant to de or whs they
were. Senator Grover is extremely
dicnifed, and seldom speaks unless
spoken to; but is remarkable for his e1-
frame politeness. He was walking up
and dorn.the platform when his eye
bappened to fall upon a little shock
headed ragged gamin. He paused in
his walk near the boy, and said:-
NV son, may ask ysu how far 1t Is
to the camp of the Nez PerceE"
Yes SIR promptly answered the
how. and then came to full stop.
,How far is it, asked the Senator.
Blamed if know!' answered the boy
with perfect gravity.
