way answered the lady. The plain
girls fAtter the men, and 80 please

United States Senators. He is also
one of the planest men to be found

The cloak room on ;he Democratic side
of the Senate with a number Of bis old
Senatorial ficnds, smoking and joking.
Finally the conversation turned on
dinners and good things 10 eat. Senator
Butler, Of South Carolina, knows a
good dinner as we'll as any man when
it is served out ~ him, and in his most
eloquent terms he told Of how be liked

Canada grouse aud champagne and
terrapin and ID old sherry, aud how
he wanted 1t served up hot, with
royal old crowd. Of boys around him.
Then several other Senator'S named

of water trickled out OF bis mouth.
Finally. he broke in:
We'll, gentleman, you may

toees.'
Aud be wiped bis mouth on bis coat'
