No, he's never done any fighting

Events in the life of Senator Towne
of Minnesota have within the last year
or 50 crowded thick and fast upon
each others heels. His nomination
by the populiSt party for vice presl-
dent during the recent campaign was
an exceedingly high honor for 50
young a man, and there was "a little
twinkle in his eve" a day or so ago
when he mounted the steps and took
up the vice presidential gavel, which
was handed over to him temporarily
by Senator Frye.
Senator Mason took in the situation
with keen delight. Senator Allen was
speaking. manifestly to fill up time.
AT the earliest opportunity senator
Mason sent to Towne little note, say
ing Your sins are many. The pun
ishment fits the crime.
Senator Towne replied with the fol-
lowing note: Il don't know about the
punishment nor the crime. but ! think
