great encouragement to the much
abused sewing machine agents Of the
country, says the Chicago News. 1t has
not been very many years since Mr..
Hemenway was peddling sewing ma
chimes in southern Indiana. He is famil-
lar with all the country roads in that
section of the Hoosler State. for he has
driven them day and night in search of
housewives who were not supplied
with sewing machines. He did not pre-
tend to know anything about national
affairs when he went to Washington,
but he knew how to stick to task I'M
til he secured results, and it is that trait
which has caused his rapid advance
ment on the committee.
