Gen. Warner of Ohio. an ex-member of
the house, was passing behind the Re
publican seats when he ran full into
"Gabe." Congressman Bouck was
beating his right fist into the palm of
his left hand and swearing, at the same
time. with the fuency which always
distinguished him.
What's the matter, Gabe?" asked
Gen. Warner. as he found his way
blocked by the wildly gesturing con-
gresham from Wisconsin.
Matter" snorted "Gabe." why,
the matter is that all these cowardly
noncompoops are going to vote for this
BANKED dashed pension bill"
We'll, why don't you take the floor
and defeat the dashed BANKED bill by
talking against it?'' asked Gen. Warner,
falling in with "Gabe's' picturesque
way of looking at it.
why don't I? Because I'm one OF
the dashed blanked noncompoops my
SELF" roared "Gabe" in answer
During the war, as ever since, "Gabe"
Bouck was careless about his personal
appearance When he was commission
ed as colonel of the Eighteenth Wiscon-
sin he came on to take command of his
regiment attired chiefly in a red flannel
shirt, one suspender, and pair OF
trousers. The army had had tough
campaign behind it and the men were
not in the best of shape, so far as
clothing was concerned. A good many
of the officers, however, did their best
to appear smart and soldierly. "Gabe"
never could appreciate the Importance
of looking as though he had stepped
out of a bandbox.
On one occasion "Gabe" was trying
a case before a judge, against whose
rulings he had taken a large number
of exceptions. On one point he persist
ed in objecting after the court had sew
eral times ruled.

GABE BOUCK.

"Gabe" Bouck of Oshkosh Wis, who
died last Sunday, was one of 'Homer's
men," AS soon speak of Col. Archilfes
as of Col. Gabriel Bouck. Titles did not
belong to him. He did not need them.
George Washington and Abraham
Lincoln first, if you insisted. After
them "Gabe" Bouck, among all the blue
shirted, stalwart men who cut down the
pine trees in northern Wisconsin. This
was why:
In the old days INSCRIPTIONS jobbers
would hire a crew of men and take
them into the woods. All winter they
would work and would cut down a
great store of logs. Wages were never
paid until the snow broke up and the
men came out of the woods. Then the
workmen would be told that times were
hard; that a chattel mortgage convered
all the timber they had cut, and they
might go whistle for their wages.
"Gabe" Bouck saw that an injustice
was being played on the lumbermen
and he acted accordingly. In the face
of wealthy opposition he introduced a
bill and forced it to a passage. Ever
since the lumbermen have known it as
the log lien law" 1t gave to the men
who had cut timber an absolute lien
for the amount of their wages on the
logs they cut.
Since then "Gabe" Bouck and Mont
gomery Ward have been the two best
known men in all the vast stretches of
the Wisconsin woods.
In 1875 'Gabe" Bouck was elected to
congress. During the war he had
served as colonel of the Second WiScon-
sin, and he always had a warm spot
in his heart for his old comrades. One
of his old soldiers applied for a pension
while Bouck was in the house. On
principle "Gabe" was strongly opposed
to private pensions. Personally he
could not help supporting this particu-
lar bill.
During his service in congress he al
ways wore a swallow tailed blue coat
with brass buttons. On the day this
particular bill came, up for passage
