WASHINGTON. CHiTCHAT
Gossip About Public Men at
the National Capital.
GALLIEaER AS A PHYSICIAN.

New Hampshire senator shows His
skin In Reviving Capitol Police
mnn-what Colleague said When
He Neglected to Collect His Fee.
Anonymous Poet warns senators
Against steel common-The Devout
Ashmnn.
Senator Jacob II. GaIinger Of New
Hampshire was recently afforded an
opportunity to demonstrate that his
usefulness as a member Of the medical
profession had not entirely vanished
with his assumption Of senatorial dig
nifty, says the New York Trlbune's
Washington correspondent While the
senate was in session NJ. y. Mitchell, a
capitol policeman, stationed at the en-
trance Of the senate lobby, suddenly
dropped to the floor unconscious and
apparently Hfeless. Associates hurried
to his assistance and, thoroughly alarm
ed, asked that a physician be summon
cd. Then it was that the presence Of a
doctor senator in the chamber was re-
called, and he responded to the call
with the alacrity of a young physician
who had just hung out his shingle.
DR.. Gallinger diagnosed the case as
brain trouble and promptly sent FOR
restoratlves. In about fifteen minutes
the patient had sufficiently recovered
to be taken to a committee room, where
the senator's attention to the sick man
showed the practiced eye Of the ply
stefan as wei as the tender care of the
trained nurse.
When his patient no longer required
his services, the doctor became highly
unprofessional in neglecting TO ask for
his fee. A colleague present remarked,
at is no wonder that Gallinger went
into politics if that is the way he did
business when he practiced medicine.
This bit Of poetry, printel by type
writer on a slip Of paper, found its way
into the senate the other day and was
passed around from senator to senators
