He promptly complied. of course, as
did the brakeman who was with him.

marked that he wished the next time
the robbers undertook job of this kind
they would give him notice, so he could
bring his overcoat with him. whereupon
the robber laughed, and said he could

give him a drink, and he pulled out

AN INTERESTING SPOT.
A Corner in Washington Where
Many Brainy Men Have Loafed.

Washington Post
Many memories cluster about the
cigar shop at the corner of Pennsylvania
avenue and Four-and-a- street.
Years ago Joseph Shillington had book
shop and news stand there. 1t is said
that he was the first man to keep on sale
out-of-town newspapers. In their day
it was the rendezvous for Daniel Web
ster, Henry Clay, John Z. Calhoun,
Chief Justice Marshall and other men
now we'll known in history. Shlllngton
has gone the way of all flesh. and the
books and periodicals.gave way to cigars
and tobacco.
What stories these old walls have
heard. When Senator James w. Brad
bury, of Maine, who was member of
the senate from 1917 to 1853, comes to
Washington nowadays he is sure to
stop at ShillingtOn'S corner and observe
the changes.
Further west in the same block stood
IN former years building which con-
tanned the celebrated gambling resort
of Edward Pendleton. There is a legend
in Washington that often when it was
found impossible to muster quorum III
the senate or house the missing states
men could lie found here. Draw Poker
was the chief game at Pendleton's.
Edward Pendleton came from the old
Virginia family of that name. After
his death the rooms were given over to
more prOSaic uses.
