for horticulture, says the Washington Post.
One day he made an incursion upon the Bot

ofclal perquisites in the line of shrubbcry
Tor MS house. After picking ont few choice
plants, he proceeded to make an attempt upon
the good graces of the custodian of plants
Now TO gain a title in fee simple to any OF
the treasures of the garIenS is an undertak-
ing about as hopeless to gain as access to his
torlcal manuscripts of the state Department
The senator succeeded in making but slight
Roadway n the confidence Of the superin-
tendent VINO was full of excuses that the
heritage was not in condition for moving
mat the season was wrong, and varioSs other
things.
A few days afterward in the Senate cham
Der Mr.. Call hooked his finger into the lapel
buttonhole OF MIR. Hoar, who is a man of kin
dred tastes.
Look here" he asked "how do YOU get
around that man down at the Botanic gar
dens. He refuses to give me some plants that

Why, you must humor his, tastes. - replied
the Senator from Massachusetts. Quote

country. Quote Bobble Burns to him."
Mr.. Gail did it the next day. Calling at
the gardens on his way to the Senate, he
sought ont the superintendent.

The Senator was not installed in the
Scotchman good graces.
