There was a scarcity of material in tha
office, and the bills had to be printed ac-
cording to the regulations; that is with
what printers call bed Stats between the
lines. About the first thing Shaw did
was to go down to a saw mill and get
lot of strips. which he proceeded ia
white out into the right sized Stats ]
may say that he soon had an abundance.
and the matter that he turned out was
phat enough to satisfy any hungr<,
printer. Well, bills were turned out in a
hurry. and the proprietor soon discovered
that in the major he had a gem of tina
first water. OF course the more work
turned out by the major the more money
was paid into the office. The major had
an eye to business and when the bills
didn't come in fast enough he simply de-
voted his spare time to preparing bills on
various and sundry questions, which he
would hand to some member and request
that they be introduced or course they
were always introduced, and the extra
money made by the printing of these
bills so ingeniously drafted by the major
more than compensated him for the time
devoted to writing them and the few
dollars spent In giving the members
good time. suppose that was about the
greatest cinch the major ever enjoyed,
and when he came away from there ha
had large and wealthy bank account
He worked that situation for all there
was in it, and it was done to the queen'l
taste, too. The major deserves all thu
good luck he ever had"

matter may be Joke, but ne fails to
see It, 1t was this way: Three years
ago his son received an appointment az
a page In the senate. and the father told
him that Washington was a powerful
swift place for boys to spend money He
made a trade with him that if he would
not spend his salary as page he would
allow him 81 week for car fare and
pin money. as well as pay all his neces-
sary expenses. Young Tate realized at
jump that he had cinch, ard In tho
presence of his mother the trade was
made. With the greatest clock-like regu-
larity young Tate would go to his father
every week and collect his stipend OF
81, while with the same regularity his
money received as page went into the
bank. Mr.. Tate was asked about the
truthfulness of the story, and he said;
