The South Carolina Senator wiped
both of his mouth with the
ends of his fingers and started directly
for Senator Hoar. Taking a seat be-
side the Senator from Massachusetts
Senator Tillman first presented the
autograph album, and indicated whore
he would like to have the Senator's
signature. The latter blushed and
looked confused, but Tillman was per-
s~istent. A little ~good-natured chafl ng
ensued, but the result was that Till
nan obtained the autograph, and also
took occasion to say q good word for
Senator Allison, the most modest man
in national politics. He blushed like
u schoolgirl when approached by Till
man, and looked as though he would
like to cover his face with his hands to
hide his ~ever-ready bushes. Finally
be placed his ~well-rounded signature
in the book, and Tillman fingered long
enough by his side to drop a few sug-
g%estions about the dispensary bill.

Mr.. Sherman, opened the book at the
appropriate place and invited him to

prised and seemed disposed to deny
the request. Tillman said something
to him, and Immediately q" satisfied
smile played over the features Of the
coming Secretary of State. He slowly
reached for Il pom, wrote his name
with great care and handed the book
back to Tillman. Oae word led to au-
other, and soon Sherman aud Tillman
were in warmest conversation over the
