DINING A GOVERNOR.
LITTLE THOMAS MARTIN AND Gov
ERNOR LEEDY.

Bread Cast Upon the Waters Returns
With q Choice Accompaniment-An In
teresting Story of the New Chief Exec
utive of the State of Kansas.
Cast thy bread upon the waters
says the Bible, ''for thou shalt find II
after many days."
The governor Of Kansas-Gover,or
Leedy-followed this advice, and his
bread came back to him in thick slices,
nicely buttered and served with sundry
other dishes, which made up a frugal
but wholesome and appetizing meal. In
other words, all act of kindness he per-
formed to a certain individual resulted
in his being invited to a unique dinner,
which he himself declares that he will
ever treasure up as one of the happiest
occasions in his life.
And who do you suppose that indi-
vidual was? Who do you suppose was
the giver of this notable feast?
No less a person than Master Thomas
Martin, a 7-year-old newsboy. And
here is the story: Two years ago, or
when Tommy was a 5-year-old toddler,
he began the work of selling newspa-
pers in order to help support his moth
or, who is a widow.
Tommy lives in the city of Topeka,
which, as you know, is the capital of
Kansas. When the legislature was in
session there, the members were always
eager to get the evening papers as soon
as they came out. So all the newsboys
congregated around the newspaper Of
fees to get copies as soon as they were
ready. The moment they were supplied

them were seeking offices for them

A light rap on the door sounded above
the confused din.

recognized the lad at nee "Take a
seat and wait a few minutes"
just then it happened that the gov
ernor opened the inner door a few inch
es and peered cautiously through the
crack, as though to decide whom to adj
NIT next. His eye fell on little Thomas.
All uncertainty vanished. He boldly
walked out, extended his hand and cried
heartily:
"Why, how are you, Tommy? I feel
glad to see you. What can do for your
And Tommy spoke up boldly and
pleasantly.
Governor Leedy, he said, II want
you to come and take dinner with me
IN Tuesday"
The governor laughed a great, jolly
laugh of pleased surprise and said:
Certainly, Tommy. I accept your
invitation with the greatest pleasure"
"All right, SIR" said Tommy. II
will come round for you at the Office
about half past o."
"A good idea," replied the governor.
II will be on hand. And now is there
anything else I can do for you?"
"No, sir" said the boy sturdily, an
answer that not one Of the grown men
in that Office would have dreamed CT
making to such a question. "Good
morning"
GOOD morning, Thomas" said the
governor.
And that is how it happened that
Governor Leedy came to get the dinner
which he has since described as one of
the pleasantest episodes Of his whole
life.-New York Herald.

there were u breakaway and a race for
the statehouse. Now, all the newsboys
were older and bigger and had longer
and stronger legs than little Thomas.
So he always came in breathless at the
end of the line, to find that nearly all
the senators and congressman had been
supplied.
1t happened M rainy afternoon that
Mr.. Leedy, who was her not a govern
or, but a senator. was walking toward
the statehouse, when he saw the gath
ering of boys, the sudden break and the
unequal race in which Tommy came out
a bad last. He followed and overlook
the child just as he had reached the
Etatehouse. Thomas was out of breath,
and the other boys We're out of sight.
"Where did the other boys go:" ask.
ed the senator
"They beat me-" said Thomas, with
q smile, fer though beaten he could keep
up a stout heart. Don't you want to
buy a paper::"
Eyes, I'll take a paper, but what
made you let the boys run away from
your"
well, I guess my legs weren't long
enough" piped Thomas, still smiling.
"All right" replied the senator.
''Now, if you won't make any noise, I'll
take you up in the senate chamber, and
We'll see If we can't sell the rest of
your papers. That will make your legs
as long as the big boys legs. They can't
get in there"
"Thank you, sir"
Isn't this a pretty bad day for you
to be out:"
ooh, a business man can't stop for
weather." cried Tiny Tom boldly.
Thomas readily disposed Of his papers
when he Vas ushered into the senate
chamber. Then he came round to where
Senator Ieedy sat and thanked him
again for lis kindness.
Now, see here" said the senator,
"if you will be as quiet as you We're to-
day and move about with as little noise,
I will see if / can't get you in every
day"
In fact, Mr.. Leedy made it his bust
ness to GO around among his fellow SEN
ators and ask their consent to the new
arrangement. He explained that az a
rule he would object to the admission of
newsboys into the senate chamber, bat
ss the other boys were all SO much big
ger than Thomas and all possessed legs
of superior length the best way to
stretch Thomas legs to the right size
was to let him in every day if he prom.
ised to go quietly about his business
Of selling papers.
He found no difficulty in winning
over all the senators. So he left a pass
for Thomas with the doorkeeper, and
every afternoon the little lad appeared,
fresh and rosy, and found no difficulty
in disposing of his entire stock of news
papers. Meanwhile the older lads had
to confne themselves, as formerly, to
the halls and Hobbies Of the statehouse.
Last summer Senator Leedy was
nominated for governor, and in the fall
he was elected. He took his seat on
Jan. l.
Both on the occasion: Of his nomina.
ton and election one Of the first letters
Of congratulation to reach him was
from little Tommy.
When, on the Goth of last December,
Mr.. Leedy came down to Topeka to
make arrangements for his Inaugural
ton, he was naturally the most sought
after man in the city. The outer room
Of his temporary office was crowded
with people who wanted to see the gov
