SENATOR EDMUNDs' TEST.
How He Ascertained the Veracity OF
a Visitor Who Wanted Funds


From the Nc,o York Herold
WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-Senator Elmunds
was evidently out of sorts when the card
was handed to him. He glared at it in a
don't-bother-me kind of way that made
the little page who brought it glad to escape
from his presence. The square piece of pa.
per which lay before the Senatol'-for il
could scarcely be called card-bore the
angular and awkwardly scrawled. II was
apparently the work of boy or half grown
lad.
The Senator arose from his seat and cross
ing the corridor entered the marble room.
where his visitor awaited him. He found
the latter in conversation with his committee
clerk.
"NVhat does he want" queried the Sena-
tor, Crufily, and, addressing the clerk
"He wants some money to take him home.
HesayS he lives in Vermont
|. hat did you say your name wasp
asked the Senator, studying the characters
on the card.
"Willis Howe was the boy'sreply.
But how do know that you live in Yer
monte You might come from Texas, for
all that know"
II can only assure you that | speak the
truth, Senator II have no way of prov
ing it. My home is in the village of ---.n
ooh, it is, is il 2 said the Senator, grimlv.
"Well, I've visited in that place number
of times. | suppose you know everybody
there don't you"
The boy replied that the people he didn't
know were not worth knowing
"Well, then, said the Senator, tell me
the name OF the fat old man who peddles
milk about town"
He isn't tat and he isn't old, . answered
the younSstcr, doggedly. His uame is
Skinny Ecclesn
The faintest sort of a smile lit up the Yer.
mont Senator's stern features. Turning to
his clerk he said:
Give him the money. There's no doubt
ing the boys honesty, and then he added
with chuckle as he turned to re-enter
the chamber. "'S1inny' Eccles! Wei.
well haven't thought of him in dozen
years.
