Mr.. Cushman's Humor.
The washington correspondent Of the
New York Times had this to say OF Rep
resentatiye Cushman of Washington in a
recent is,sue OF his paper: Representative
Cushman Of washington. who has bloom
cd here az a new humorist, and disap-
no,nted himself when he fell into making
= f,innv speech on the currency bill when
he had prepared to be serious. is long
and lank. not at all well favored, and his
homeliness is of wide repute at home.
Sometimes he has been called the Abe
T'jncoln az Washington. because of the
similarity of his style with that Of the
raIsplitter who became president.
"Cishman tells q story on himself and 1t
IL being retold but in such shape as to
deprive Il of the humor that he imparts to
Il, His version is that on one occasion,
speaking at a country meeting. the chair
man Of the county came to him. He had
heard that Cushman looked like Lincoln.
!" i've heard that you were like Abe LIN
coIn,' said this plain-spoken man. i
want to shake hands with you. I met Lin
coin, who was certainly very homely and
a man of brains I'm bound to admit that
YOU resemble him In one of these re-
spects'"
