appearance was visibly present and
gave an interest to the assemblago
which it otherwise might have lacked
One could almost imagine that the
pale young statesman with aspiration
stamped on his brow, seated in the ex-
ecutlve Office down stairs "was press
ing the button" while all the others
cheerfully did the rest" On the op-
pcslte side of the chamber sat another
in whose ear one could almost with the
naked eye see the gubernatorial bee
monotonously buZZing.
In various parts Of the room Sena.
tors lolled in their chairs aEd seemed
enchanted by the spell of the same
kind of music, but some of the bees
sang of Congressional honors and lau-
rels to be won in the halls of national
legislation, ard others extolled the soft
and restful judicial berths. Even the
presiding officer welding the symbol OF
his office with the grace that cannot be
denied him and making his rulings and
orders with machine.like precision, ap-
peared as though conscious that some
more exalted sphere Of environments
were better adapted to his tastes an
ambitions.
