and he knew life. The governor was a
farmer by profession and congressman
and governor by accident
The day that the general visited the
governors Office he asked political
favor for a friend. The governor hesi-
tated and at length refused. Thereupon
the general picked up a hat, pulled 1t
down over his ears and stumped out of
the room in rage. When he reached his
own office he said:

One on the Counsel.

Though Senator Beveridge, in pursu-
ance OF his policy of silence, did not tell
this story, the facts occurred as related
while the senator was at Nagasaki, Japan.
The United States consul at that beauti-
full Japanese city is Mr.. harris, formerly
Of Wabash Ind. and like all true Hoo
siers, extremely proud of the youth ard
good looks of Mr.. Beverdgc.
1t happened that while the senator was
calling on Mr.. Harris, the transport
which was taking the officers and men
of the Tenth Pennsylvania from Manila
to San Francisco, landed at Nagasaki.
Several of the officers went on shore and
started to pay their respects to Consul
Harris, whose consulate is at the top of a
flight of high marble steps, relates the
Chicago Tribune. AS the officers went up
Senator BeveTidge came down, though
none of them knew who he was. After
receiving them warmly Consul Harris
said:
Ibid you see that young man who pass
ed you on the stairs? lie Is a wonderful
man. In fact, he Is a United States sena-
tor from Indiana and the youngest man
who ever was sent to the senate"
The Pennsylvanians at once took up the
CudEclS on behalf of Senator Penrose,
who was only 81 years old when he was
elected to the senate.
"Why, there's Penrose," said one of the
officers. He was born in 1850 and he has
| been in the senate for at least two years.
"Oh!' cried Harris, you are certainly
mistaken. l know that Roies Penrose has
a son who Is more than 40 years old, for
have met him. He was here only last
week, and he had an autograph letter
from his father, written on United States
senate paper, and introducing him to
all the displomatic representatives of the
United States abroad"
How much money did you loan him?'
asked one of the officers.
"Well," said Harris, 81 did let him have
