From Ben: PerLev PoOre'S "reminiscences.
When John COvOde was chairman of the
House committee, and occupied room on the
basement floor Of the capitol, he used to have
some very nice old rye whisky sent to him
from Pennsylvania. To keep it for his own
use he had lock put on a door to receptacle
under the washstand, where he used to stow
sway couple of demijohns, one Of which he
underworld toIkeep full.
In some mysterious way. however. the
whisky used to disappear. He had the locks
changed, but still a demjOhn, which would
be locked up in the washstand fun in the
morning. would be empty at night. Finally
Uncle John waXed wrOtn. HE be dOggOrned
if ne wouldn't keep whisky in his committee
room for himself and his friends, but he be
doggorned il he wanted to go into the whole
sale liquor tradeW
One evening at the beginning of a roll call,
he noticed a member trOm-n iHlD0fts where
recently deceased, who was on his commit
tee, get t0ge ther a small party Of friends and
leave the hall. Now. Mr.. COvOde prided
himself on always being in his seat to answer
to his name. But. instead of waiting to vote,
he soon went down to his committee room.
and suddenly entered with his pass key. He
took in the situation at a glance. His friend
had lifted the marble top from the wash
stand. and thus obtained ready access to the
receptacle beneath, from which he had taken
the demijohn. Caught in the act, he began to
apologize; but Mr.. Coyode said, with a CHEEKY
laugh, "Go ahead, boys. Help yourselves. /
