an arrangement which effectually
avoided anything Of an unpleasant
way and the senator took place at
the Holland house in the presence of

the time set. Rev. David j. Burrell,
formerly of Minneapolis read the

always do when here. I sent a card
to Senator Platt and he sent back
word that he was too busy to see me.
I said all right and went away. This

to give half to me-" Then, apparent

"Why shouldn't Senator Plat get mar

papers drag me into it?"
