ing in the season. He goes out o
great deal in society with his interest
ing daughters and enjoys IL just as
much as they do. He Is always in
good health--I doubtswhether he was
ever sick for any length of time in his
life. He attributes his good health
TO the outdoor work he did when he
was youth, after his fathers for
tune, chiefly in ships, had been swept
away by the War Of 1912 and he had
TO start out for himself in the wilds
Of Indiana. He has always done
more than his share of the work of
the world, mental and physical, and
always with ease and success. He
was six years in the Treasury De-
partment--two years as Comptroller of
the Currency anddour years as Seore-
tary of the Treasury. "And wasn't
absent two weeks in all during the
six years." he said with satisfaction
the other day.

New York Tribune: Senator Stock
bridge of Michigan is something of q
wag. He was sitting in his committee
room the other day when one of those
follows who are always demanding
documents came in. The caller had
secured almost every book. pamphlet
and bill which the Government mag
unanimously prints and gives away.
But he still longed for more. 81 ~

copy of the Constitution of the United
States. Could enlist your help, SEN
ator?" "Why, certainly, but it would
be useless. The effort will be futile"
"Indeed; and why?' "Well, you
see, there were so many demands
from people like yourself for copies of
this good work that the supply nearly
ran out. There was only one copy
left, and the President has just sent
that to the Pope"

"Underwood" in the Boston Record
II isn't often that a dignificd Senator
gets into trouble with the police, but
this was the case Wednesday night.
Senator spooner of Wisconsin, one of
the melodious young orators of the
Senate, went to the opera. He was a
little late, and had his man drive fast.
When his coupe got little way past
the corner of Thirteenth street and
the Avenue policeman appeared and
waved his hand. The apparition said
the carriages must approach in
another direction, and hade the coach
man drive off and wheel into line from
the other end of the block. Senator
Spooner put up his hand, too, saying
that the carriage was near enough the
opera-house. The people inside got
out and went to the opera. One OF
the. men in the party stepped out
side after the first act, luckily Just in
time to find that the coachman had
been arrested for obeying the Senator
instead Of the policeman. There was
lively debate. The sergeant Of po.
lice was sent for, and the law OF the
District Of Columbia was expounded
with much force and ferver. The
outcome was that coachey mounted
his box smiling and whistling, glad tC
have been able to encounter the Law
once and come off ahead.
