for the capitol. The conductor came around.
The senator searched his pockets, but he
couldn't find q cent or n car ticket. There
wasn't a soul on the car he knew.
Much chagrined, he hoped on the car

Washington letter to the st. Louis Globe
Democrat says all kinds and conditions OF

opportunity pass TO observe his movements
and comment upon them. Not only this,
but they flock after him, as 1t were, to COM

the news crossed the capitol and invaded
the committee room on the house side.
First ca.he committee and senate and house
employees and then members Of the house
themselves began to walk the marble block
