Senatorial Dignity Aside.

Senator Squire recently played a
scurvy trick on Senator John B. Al
len. They were travelling from Wash

sleeping berths there were only two to
be had-one upper and one lower
The two Senators tossed up for
choice and Senator Allen won, taking
the lower berth, of course. During
the night the train stopped at sta
ton in Missouri, where large, heavy
woman entered the sleeper looking for
a berth.
Squire poked his head out between
the curtains, and seeing the ponder
Gus lady, said:
Madam, the berths are all taken,
but if you wish, you can occupy the
one just under me, where my little
boy is sleeping"
This was satisfactory to the Missou-
ri amazon, who removed her shoes
and then swung around into the bunk.
Just about this time the disturbed oc.
cupant attempted to rise to see what
the intrusion meant.
With one fell swoop of her palm
she clapped il squarely over the gen
tleman's mouth, saying: There, lit
tie boy, don't speak. Your father
said could sleep here
Again the little boy" attempted to
rise and this time he managed to say ::
