PRETTY OLD BOY.

Senator Hoar, Of Massachusetts, who Is
seventy-siX years old, was engaged in an
earnest argument with Senator Bacon,
of Georgia, over Mr.. Hoars bill for the
protection Of the president Of the United
States. The senate was very quiet be
cause the other members were enjoying
the contest between what are termed the
two most stubborn men in that body.
Mr.. HOar was in the midst Of one Of his
arguments when Senator DepeW sncezed.
The venerable Massachusetts man was
forced to stop because a Depew sneezc is

with a seriO-comic buzz and ends with an

and looked sternly at the interrupter. Sen
ator Depew's eyes filled with tears-gen-
uine tears-and he buried his face In his
handkerchief All the rest of the sena-
tors laughed at the scene except the par
Elephants. Mr. HOar had to wait for quiet
before he proceeded.
After the session Mr.. Depew, who IS six
ty-eight years old, went up to the defend
er of the traditions and dignity Of the
senate to express his regret that the
sneeze had arrived at such an inOppor-

apology coldly

quickness and adaptability of their race,
worked themselves up, triumphantly
climbed the forbidding bluffs, and are
now enjoying independence. BY far the
