Constituent Thought Senator Carlisle
Read Better Than He Looked"
At the time when John G. Carlisle
was senator from Kentucky his
speeches we're widely printed and
attracted a great deal Of attention.
one day when the senate was in SEES
sion a mountaineer from the widest
wilds Of Kentucky presented himself
at the door and asked to see Senator
Carlisle. The visitor wore hOmesprn
and leather boots and was travel
stained and dusty. He explained that
he had read MI. Carlisle's speeches
and considered them great, and had
walked more than a hundred miles
in order to see the senator from his
state. Mr.. Carlisle was busy at the
time and the clerk informed the Wis
itor that he could not be disturbed.
The farmer looked disappointed and
seemed reluctant to depart. Finally
he asked if he might be taken where
he could just catch a glimpse of the
great man he had walked so far to
see. The request was granted and
Mr.. Carlisle was pointed out to him.
After a brief scrutiny the farmer
turned to the attendant:
Reads a heap better'n he looks, .
he remarked sententiously, and pre-
pared to walk back to Kentucky

only briefly and at long intervals, her
faith in him had not for an instant
wavered. Even now he had a letter
in his pocket, received three days be-
fore, and not yet opened.
Down here in the depth of the hold,
alone, with everything he had known
about to be left behind, his heart had
suddenly grown tender and sore. 1t
might be years before he would see
the gentle old face again, and at the
thought his fingers reached fof the
letter and drew it out softly and ten
derby. But It was already dark in the
hold and he could not See.
For a moment he stroked it re
morsefully, then he pushed the case
aside and CROPPED his way out among
the-boxes and bales. He would seek
the hatchway or some place where
there was light enough to read the
letter. He must find out what the old
mother had to say; and he would re-
turn-he woodland do everything
that he had promised. He would go
back to the little farm and take care
Of the mother in her old age. He
could make a living there, and that
was more than he was sure Of in a
city.
For an hour there had been the
final sounds Of departure overhead,
but he had not noticed this. AS he
went forward, however, he was CON
scious Of a peculiar sensation Of ris-
ing and falling, which told him that
the ship was under way.
The hatchway was not closed. but
even there it would have been too
dark but for a light somewhere above.
