During the campaign in Indiana Senator
Fairbanks was scheduled to make a speech
at $50 o'clock one afternoon at Princeton,
Ind. He missed the connections at Terre
Haute. There was no other train that
would get him In, and he hired a special
engine, paying 800 therefor, to take him

ton, begrimed but triumphant, for he was
on time, he looked around for the recep-

Finally a man he knew wandered into the
station.
"Show me the way to the meeting, quick"
said the senator.
"Meeting?" replied the man. "Why
