 Perhaps there is ID one in either house of congress wl.o comes so near being an object of worship among Lis own constituents as does Senator ssiehn ". Daniel of Virginia He is q gen- tlcman of the old school, whom Nir- ginians everywhere delight to heHor. l saw this eXompliGed iA q remarkable manner on the Fourth of July, 1N3I. He was the orator of ti.2 day III q Fourth of July celebration hold in one of the large tlleaters in Washington un- der the auspices of tie Democratic Clubs of the District of Columbia.
 Thc senator's appearance on the stage was q signal for q tremendous out burst of enthusiasm, and when the band struck up Garry Me Back to old Nirginny" there was such storm of cheers that thought the roof would be taken off The senator's speech was all that my own CT anybody's fan cy could have painted patriotic, fer yid, eloquent. After dwelling upon the gloles of Americans in general he touched upon the glories of the bpmo- cratic party. ''I hear great deaf. said he. about the Democratic p&ttN being dead. And that reminds me of l tale my old black nanny Used to tell me when was Il thild that ran something like this:
 "old Mother Hubbard she went to the bahegs
 To get her dog some bread.
 And when she came back
 The poor dog dcad.
 She went 10 the joiaar's 10 buy him coffin. And when she back the dog was 1uShin!
 "Now," said tue senator, they have brought in the cotlin for the Democrat ic party several times, but they lave found every time they bring the coffin he is up and a-laushin.'
 This story doesn't secm very funny in cold tyne, but when told in tGe sena- tors nimitahlc manner it was very taking ana most appropriate. Ihe transition from the luguhriouS tones of Mother Hubbard upon the discovery of her dogs death to the sudden icy and triumph of finding him mp and a-laughin7 was ono of the funniest things l ever heard.
