he was after nobody could guess, save
that it was some sort Of official place.
Mr.. Carlisles manner was exceedingly
non-committal, and, the business hav-
ing been finished, Mr.. Holman waved
his hand to his other friend, who came
forward, was introduced, grasped the
hand of the secretary of the
treasury, bowed and departed with
Mr.. Holman. 1t was plain from the
appearance of the latter con-
stituent of Mr.. Holman that he was
perfectly satisfied and greatly gratified

SENATOR COLQUITT ON WHEELS.
tration. He went away happy, be-
cause he carried with him information
which would cheer the heart of poor
and deserving man, upon whom wife
and little ones depend for bread and
butter.
Then came Mr.. Doclzery, of Mis-
souri,, and he was followed by Repre-
sentatives Blanchard, of Louisiana;
Paynter, of Kentucky; Hayes, of Iowa,
and several Others We had been there
over an hour, and there were now as
many privileged persons ahead of us
as when we came into the room. It
was very discouraging indeed; but,
when we finally reached the secretary,
transacted the business in hand and
left the room, we found not less than
fifty gentlemen out in the corridor
waiting for an opportunity to enter.
'"This is a nice government Of the
people, said one of the people out
side as we came out. ''Here I've been
for nearly two hours standing before
come out, but I am not allowed even
to catch a glimpse of the secretary.
This is the fifth day I've been here,
and gone away Disguised every day
because the doors are barred against
me. I'll go home soon and give up in
despair. don't see why | can't get
in. I'd take my turn then without
growing"
There's the rub. They don't see why
they can't get in. It makes a man i'm
patient, and usually angry, to be
obliged to stand outside and wait for
turn to send in card and solicit an
audience. But those who know what
is gong on inside, and who see the
crowded condition of the room; those
who realize that the secre tary is busy
every minute, listening to the kaleido-
scopic hopes and desires Of others and
dispatching business as rapidly as he
can, not only wonder if the stream
flows on forever, but they sympathize
with the cabinet minister, and ask, as
did my friend: CHOW can the man
stand it?''
complaining were each of them obliged
to stand every day in the village school
house, and listen to the individual
tales of woe of their neighbors; were
also obliged to promptly apply some
remedy, satisfy some ambition, crafty
some desire for personal honor; while
all the neighbors were waiting for
their turn to get in, they might faint
ly imagine something of the position
of the secretary OF the treasury who
has to listen to the plants of people
whom he knows, whom he does not
know and who care nothing for him,
while at the same time he must be
burdened with the great financial
problems which vex our country.
GLOW can the man stand it?'' In the
first place he has been endowed with a
splendid physique. He has become IA
miliar with the social, political, fnan-
cial and executive problems which
come before him. He is endowed with
superior perceptive powers, and under
stands Immediately, as bv intuition.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1893-08-23

merely with the honor Of having had
an introduction to the eminent states
man who is now in charge of our fnan-
cial department; and that he will tell
of his meeting and introduction with
great gusto, when he returns to his
Indiana home.
But there were other senators to oc-
cupy the time. Senator Colquitt, of
Georgia, who has recently been seri-
ously i'll, was wheeled into the room
upon an easy chair by a colored at
tendant, and was Immediately granted
an audience by the secretary, who sat
down upon a chair in order to more
readily hear and converse with him.
The appearance Of Senator Colquitt in
such novel vehicle reminded me of
Hon. Alexander FL. Stephens, of
Georgia, who used to attend sessions
Of the house in similar manner. Mr..
Colquitt did not remain long. His
place was taken by Congressman Chip
man, of Detroit, the rotund and always
iOvial statesman from the Wolverine
state. Judge Chapman was there to
of the treasury department which will
affect the shipping interests Of the
great lakes. He was speedily an
ewered, when a large man came for
ward to see Mr. Carlisle; and it was
then that my friend asked: ''Does this
struggling stream flow on forever?''
It does. There is 70 end to the
stream of humanity which flows into
and out of the Offices of the heads of
departments here, and the Office of the
secretary of the treasury apparently
receives all Of the overflow. While we
were waiting an audience several
newspaper correspondents entered by
a side door, which is always open to
them. Several of these gentlemen
who represent evening papers, and
who must telegraph their news not
later than one o'clock every day,
walked past senators, representatives
and all others, right up to the secre-
tary, and, saying: BEG PARDON to
senators and others, went directly to
Mr.. Carlisle, asked brief questions, and
departed without actually blocking
the stream for moment. They know
their business and the secretary knows
it, and hence they are privileged char
acters. The newspaper man who once
imposes upon the time of cabinet
minister by remaining too long, will
find the little side door closed to him
in future.
Mr.. Dolliver, the young Iowa con-
gresham and talented orator, albeit a
republican, called next and had his
turn. He served in the house with Mr..
Carlisle and they are warm personal
friends. He came to inquire concern
ing the fate of one of his constituents,
and was informed that watchmen on

when | was sheriff out in Iowa I
was spectator of the unexpected
manner in which justice sometimes
works it's way" said a resident of Kan
sas City to a Detroit Free Press re-
porter There was in our little COM
munity rather tough citizen, Bill Bun
son, who worked occasionally and
passed the rest of the time either with
the boys or in making life burden for
his poor wife. Everyone thought Bill
bad man, but one day when his wife
was discovered murdered the entire
community was Mortified. was among
the first to visit the house. In the sit
ting-room where the murder took
place was a parrot, and as we began
our examination the bird kept repeat
ing:
"'Don't kill me, Bill. Think of all
have stood! Think of all have been!
Don't kill mel
owe found Bill in one Of the saloons,
and, as we supposed, he had an alibi
all ready. Three or four scoundrels
were ready to swear he had been play
ing cards all night. Well, Bill was ar
rested. How were we going to get
evidence? There was young man on
the police force, who said: Let me
talk to Bill and see if I can't get q con-
fession out of him. Witnesses were
placed near at hand, and the young
man entered the cell.
Hello, Bill!' he said.
Hello! said the other, in a surly
manner, when are you going to let
me out of here?'
Not very SOON
What do you mean? You can't
prove anything. I've got my wit
nesses.'
"'They are no good, Bill. We have
our Witnesses
Il don't believe it,
"'Yes, sir; and they saw you do the
job
"The man sprang to his feet with
terrible oath.
"'You lie!' he said.
"'No, don't lie and 1 can prove it.
The witnesses were two tramps, and
they looked through the window and
saw the job They are ready to swear
to it.
"Bill gave sneering and profane
response.
"'L Listen to me moment, Bill, and
then see if am lying. I will tell you
just how you did it, and just what hap
pened.'
''With that he began his story. He
had examined the scene carefully and
surmised a great deal. That every de-
tail was correct he could tell by the
prisoners manner.
"'When you raised your knife, Bill,
I can tell you the exact words of your
wife and just how she acted With
that he repeated many words which no
one but an actual spectator could have
known. This was done in a dramatic
manner, and the murderer's eyes ex-
pressed the most abject fear.
"'Don't! Don't? he shouted. 1T is
true. I killed her. I will make
statement of the fact, although may

Ellis statement was taken. When
he learned how he had been trapped he
went to the gallows with curse on
his lips against those who had con-
trived the little scheme.'
