ccived many favors from the Washing

however, he criticised a bill which I

his adverse opinion concerning the bill.
1t made me very angry | forgot all of

the proprietor of his paper, stating that
the correspondent was bad man. a
vicious man. drinking man, and I'M

with the statement that he would never
get any more news from me. ! ex-
pected that he would be discharged.

got a letter from the proprietor of the
paper bitterly scoring me tor having

practical kind which a man cannot for

Il was a candidate for the position of
foreman of the senate barber shop, a
place which pays SLIGO year, and a
position in which a good man can pick
up 500 or more every year in the way
of tips from the sena tors. Vice Presi-
dent Henry Wilson was stopping at
this hotel and he always came to me to
have his hair cut and dressed. and oc-
casionally to shave him; but he usually

The vice president came to me one
morning with two razors and said that
he wanted them honed by half-past

pected TO leave town on the three
o'clock train. | took the razOrs ard
laid them on my stand, promising to
have them ready promptly on time IT
happened that all of my morning was
taken up that day by an unusual rush
of business, SO that twelve o'clock
came and the razors were still I'M
touched. / called another barber named
Campbell. and told him 70 hone those
razors very lightly and hand them back
TO me as soon as he could. Campbell
took the razors. but disregarded my in
structions and honed them in his own
way He handed them to me just
about half past two o'clock as my dis
tinguished customer came into the
shop. and | handed them to the vice
president, who gave me dollar bill,
and thanked me for my promptness in
repairing the razors for him.
About two weeks later the vice
president came to me with those raZors
and said that he wanted me to hone
them myself and not give them to any
other barber as had done on the pre-
vious occasion. Then | told lie.
