About four years ago lc called on me to
do some favor for hlm, which did. 1t
accomplished the desired result. did
not ask, neither did ! expect, any re-
muncraior for what had done. AT the
end of the session Mr.. Congressman came
to me and said: You cannot realize how
much ! appreciate the little favor you
performed for me. am interested in

York state and in consequence of what
you have done will send you one of our
best machines
told him very plainly that could not
accept il, and that, furthermore, my wife
already had two and did not want any
more. But he insisted that should ac-
cept il, and said he would forward II to
me within the next two weeks. That was
the last that heard Of the machine until
the middle of the following session. when
the Congressman met me one day and eN-
planned that the factory had burned down,
but that should have the first one turned
out Of the new factory. That was two

an acJuiline nose and thin compressed
lirs, the under one protr,ding, the result

bears Il resemblance to Dantc's.

soft double chin resting on a neck white
and soft as "A woman's. The impartial
hand of lifes executioner that has faded
out the Frcnchman's light will some day
fall upon the head of Americas great iii-
fidcl, who in the twilight shadows Of
Plutonian shades will confront the
"Cassi,ised" countenanoe of his eighteenth
century contemporary and they will
mourn the fatuity of their doctrines.
