WASHINGTON, April 80 Congressman
Browne, OF Indiana, has a constituent
in Washington who occasionally in
dulges too freely in the flowing bowl.
He has been good fellow in his day,
but like men OF his calibre, has rapidly
descended the ladder until now he is
compelled to ask assistance to carry him
through the day quite frequently. A
few days ago he called on NJ. Browne
and said that he wanted a dollar with
which to get supper, lodging and break
fast. Mr.. Browne handed fifty cents to
him with the remark;
"You can get all you want Us well as
a few drinks for this half dollar"
He protested that he could do nothing
OF the kind, and asked Mr.. Browne how
it could be accomplished. "Take this
half dollar" said the Congressman, "and
spend it in the ordinary manner. Get
full and the police will pull you in and
take care Of you for the night and give
YOU breakfast in the morning"
The constituent pocketed the fouI
bits and departed, and Mr.. Browne for
cot all about him until the next day
In the morning policeman came to his
house with u message from the con
stituent. He sent word that he hat
taken Mr.. Brownies advice, had been ar
rested and he wanted TO him TO come
and get him out Of the police court.

sault on his thirteen-year-old daughter,
Eleanor. The child screamed for aid,
and Muelberg's wife rushed in from the
next room. The brute was beating the
child about the head to silence her cries
and when his wife endeavored to stop
him he turned and dealt her two blows
which cut her scalp and face terribly.
With the blood streaming down and
binding her Mrs. Muel6erg crawled

his wife he yelled that he would give
her something to cry help for and rails

all his force, the point shattering the
skull and laying bare the brain. Muel-

enormity Of his crime, and after plead
