Quay's Story About Franklin.

Washington Times: Senator Quay
of Pennsylvania has been for years
a student of the late life of Benjamin
Franklin, regarding whom he knows
much more than is printed in the
books. Senator Quay says that on a
certain Sunday morning during the
administration Of John Adams, Frank
lin attended church with the president
and, since both statesmen had sat
up late the night before, boht fell
asleep during the progress of the
sermon.
The chaplain bore with the slumber
of his two chief auditors for some
time, but finally rage got the better
of him.
"Mr. Franklin! Mr.. franklin" he
called from the pulpit.
MI. Franklin awoke and looked up,
startled.
"Mr. Franklin, pardon me for inter-
rupting you," said the chaplain in
a. grim voice. Il only wished to re-
quest you not to snore SO loud, lest
you awake the president"
