waltz At private dancing school, when
the man Of the mace rushed in upon
them and waltzed them away TO the bar
OF the house, there to make their expla-
nation.
When a member is called before the
bar 20 give reasons for his absence he is
not sworn to tell the truth 1t would be
exceedingly awkward at times if this ex-
action were made of him, for statesmen
have been taken out OF professional gam
bling dens and worse places by the un-
relenting bat happily secret keeping
officials The man of the mace must
have discretion as well as zeal, for it
would not do to take an intoxicated
statesman into the presence of the house.
That would offend the dignity of the
body, and be decidedly uncomfortable
for the member. In such cases the officer
discreetly reports mot 70 be found"
More than one statesman OK renown
owes his fair fame to tho reticence and
discretion Of a sergeant-at t-arIns or his
assistant. II Is a matter Of general con-
graduation. however, that drunkenness,
gambling and worse vices are much less
frequent now among public men than
they we're in the old days. There are
no public gambling houses in Washing
ton, and the members who often get
drunk could be counted on ones fingers.
Some strange stories are told by as
sstant sergeants-at-arms concerning
their experiences with junkets and fu-
nerals. Ii Is the duty Of these officials 10
act ~ funeral masters when a member Of
the house dies, and to make all arrange
ments for transporting the corpse TO the
place Of interment, accompanied by
committee Of congressman As rule, of
late years these funeral excursions are
managed with dignity and solemnity,
though IL would be contrary TO human
nature II few small jugs and limited
number Of bottles Of wine and boxes OF
cigars were not included In the para
phernalia Of woe. Many funeral scandals
have come TO light through publication
Of the items Of expense, but one story
has down to this time escaped the chron-
iclers OF the press Il was told the other
day by an ex x-sergeaot-at-arms.
