was appointed Senator by acting
Governor Smith, of Montana, after
he had resigned. 1t is pity that
so much virtue exists in the Sen ate,

corrupt the members of the Legis-

Senator, may be beneficial one
and deter others from followin

tears in his eyes told of his hum

The Senate listened the old man $

drew long breath of relief that
the man from Montana would not
be able to sit with them and in any
way corrupt them. There are some
good men in the Senate and there
are others upon which the search
