How Coy. Andrew Did II.

Late one afternoon, after busy day,
when the executive Office people were
getting ready TO go home, poor old
Irish woman was announced, the mes
senger remarking:
Its only an old woman, Governor,
who wants to get her husband pardoned
ont of the House of Correction. I'll get
rid of her for you"
mo you won't" said Andrew; II am
here TO see just such people. and the
poorer they are the more necessary it is
that they should see me"
1t is also said that here the Governor
used o mildly profane word. The dis
comfited official of the ante-chamber
ushered the old woman into Andrews
presence. She told her story quickly,
inspired by the sympathy of the Gov
ernor. Her husband had been injured
on the railway, and, to support himself
in his disabled condition, had begun
selling little rum in his shanty out
at Revere. He had been arrested and
sentenced to the House of Correction.
When Andrew had heard Bridget
through, he said:
Don't worry, my good woman; I'll
pardon your husband tomorrow
She left the room, showering bless
ings on the Governors head. When
she had gone down stairs, Andrew said:
I'll pardon out every such case rs long
as I'm Governor of this State, and they
continue to imprison poor men for do
ing what rich hctel-keepers do every
day unmolested. There shall not be
one sert of justice for the poor and an
other for the rich. "-BoStoil Herald.
