BY this time it was a quarter of
twelve. The Representative made a
third break for his committee-room.
Four times was he stopped by personal
acquaintances He reached the room and
found it empty. The committee had
concluded its business and adjourned.
Its clerk told him briefly what had been
done, and he started for the hall of the
House so as to be in time for prayers.
he stopped at the postotfice on the
way and gathered in thirty-six letters
by actual count, q peck of newspapers,
and nearly bushel of circulars. He

House lobby, and entered the Cham Der
in time to hear the blind Chaplain say
Amen" Placing his letters and papers
upon his desk. he made his way to the
cloak-room. Before he could hang up
his coat and hat and get out of the
cloak-room, he had to listen to two or
three stories from Member who had
been absent two weeks and had Just
returned.
Once in his seat. he mechanically be-
gan to open his letters. The first one
required immediate attention. A New
York importer wanted three copies of
the Administrative Tariff Bill as it
passed the House. and he wanted them
right away. The Representative had
already received and granted fifty SIM
liar requests. AS he was only entitled
to five copies OF the bill, he was forced
to skirmish among brethren represent
ing agricultural districts, who had no
use for their own copies. This took up
. good ten minutes of his time. He
had just thanked his friend. and sent q
page for the tariff bill, when a brother
Member borrowed ten dollars from him.
He was not from Chicago.
The second letter opened was q terror.
1t was from gentleman who had known
the Congressman when he was a school
boy. He asked his friend to go up to the
War Department and get for him the
names of all the soldiers engaged in the
late war.
Meantime the legislative mill was at
work. The journal had been read.
Little tid-bits were being ground out
by unanimous consent. Mem bers were
correcting the Record. The Speaker
was laying executive documents before
the House. Leaves of absence were
being granted and half dozen fellows
were clearing their desks for a fight on
contested election case. There was
morning hour intervening and nobody
could tell what measure might pop up
before the House in that hour.
The Representative had succeeded in
getting the run Of legislation when a
doorkeeper handed him q card with the
remark that its owner was awaiting him
at the east entrance. AS the man was
unknown to him the Congressman
fancied that he could ascertain what he
wanted and return to the House before
the real work of the day began. The

THE STORY TELLING BORE.
ested in bridge project out West.
Congressional action was necessary and
he wanted the Members aid. He was
fortified with letters of Introduction
and had newspaper extracts and pam
phlets enough to fill four-quart
measure. The Representative stood
within sound of the voice of the Clerk
of the House. His attention was divided
between what the brid g man said and
what the clerk was reading. He feared
that bill levelled against the interests
of some of his constituents would turn
up before he got back.
Meantime two or three other persons
in the corridor had recognized him and
were waiting to get hold of him when
the old gentleman let him 60. They
caught him. One was an old pilot
deeply concerned in the fight over tho

Once more the Representative applied
himself to his legislative duties. An
election contest was on the tapis.
Rowell OF Illinois was Numbering on
behalf Of the contestant. and Crisp of
Georgia vas sending in mitrailleuse re-
plies. The Representative again ap-
piled himself to his mail. A dozen

the Congressional Library, to the Sem
ate Chamber, to the galleries. to Clerk
McPherson's Office. to the docket Of the
Supreme Court, and to dozen other
places in the great building. All were
made on behalf Of some constituent or
some visitor.
The House adjourned that day after
five o'clock. The Member who has never
missed roll-call since the opening
of Congress was in his seat exactly
thirty minutes out of the Ave hours.
He probably did more physical work

was interrupted by two other gentle
men. One had been dropped from the
rolls of the Public Print ting Office, ap-
parently because he was q Democrat,
and the other was looking for a place
in the Census Bureau. The Member
comforted the first, and said that he
would do what he could for the second.
He reached his committee-room without
further Interruption.
A very important bill was under dis
cussion. He was just getting into the
merits of the case whom a page told him
that he was wanted at the telephone in

more for his committee-room. While
passing through the Hall of Statues
he was accosted by . gentleman from
New Jersey. who bore letter Of intro
duction. A bill in which the Jersey
man was interested had landed in the
Military Committee. AS its passage
would place him on the retired list of
the army and give him $40, 900 back
pay, he was much interested in It's fate.
He wanted the Member to ascertain
what subcommittee the bill had been
referred to and to importune that COM
mittee in his behalf. The Representa-
tive promised to ascertain the status Of
the claim and again star ted for his des-
tination.
He had hardly entered the rotunda
before he was stopped by a fellow Mem
Der who had written a letter to some
Farmers Alliance in response to an in
vitatlon from them. The letter had
been printed in q Western newspaper
and he wanted his friend to read it.
The reading was done in perfunctory
manner. the mind of the Mem Der being
concentrated upon the bill before his
committee. He caught hardly . clue
to the points of the letter, but returned
the newspaper with the remark that it
was certainly very able document.
The Representative made his exit
from tho rotunda by the West door and
was about to descend the stairs, when
he was overhauled by an esteemed
friend. The friend insisted upon his
visiting the restaurant. He replied
that his duties just then were urgent.
But the friend was fully As urgent as

pointment. He wanted to secure the sig
