not once did his serenity of soul leave

would cause confusion in both their
book keeping and that of the Treasury
Department With some brusqucness of
manner Mr.. Hill said this was none of

books to suit themselves. He wished to
draw his salary for the actual time he
served in the Senate, and not one cent
more. Aft some further parleying the
clerk made out voucher for 1897 90,

for that amount in full payment of all
his claims upon the Senate and mileage
