Waterbury evening Democrat., 1904-08-24

OulOdH, tue BentleLHau was maK1ng misstatement of my position"
 There was roar of laughter around the senate at this sally.
 Not long ago Senator Hoar was join- ed in the corridor of the capitol by former colleague in the senate, and as they approached the entrance to the senate chamber Mir. Hoar motioned his companion to pass in first, says a Washington correspondent of Chica- go paper. .+"
 After you," said the ex-senator, drawing back politely.
 "No, indeed" retorted Senator Hoar. ''The Ks always go before the wise."
 Only once in great while was Sena- tor Hoar caught tripping in Scripture learning, declares writer in the Pil- grim. One such occasion was while the senate was discussing the Chinese treaty of 1881. He quoted against the exclusion policy St. Paups declaration: "For God hath made of one blood all the nations of the earth"
 Senator Miller of California exclaim- ed: "Go on. Quote the remainder of the sentence
 There Is no more of it," said MT. Hoar
 "Oh, yes, there is,' rejoined Miller, "for the apostle added to the words which the senator has just quoted, and hath determined the bounds of their habitation.'"
 Senator Hoar met friend on the street in Washington one day who stopped to inform him that a very dear friend was seriously i'll with appendi- citis, says the Washington Post. Sena- tor Hoar was very solicitous and de termined to write note of sympathy at once He had hardly finished the note before word came to him that his friend was i'll with acute indigestion in stead of appendicitis. Senator Hoar tore up the first note and sent the fol- lowing in it's place:
 Dear Al am very sorry to hear that you are i'll, but am glad that the trouble is with the table of contents rather than with the appendix.
 IIGiNs sWIS d VI persons on the senate private elevator ono day when Senator Hoar came out of his committee room just as the ele- vator started, says Washington dis patch to the Boston Globe.
 He rang three insistent bells, which is the signal that senator wants to ride and which supersedes the desires of all others who have no privileges of the elevator.
 The elevator came back.
 Wait minute" said Senator Hoar, and he went into his room.
 The elevator man waited one minute and four minutes and ten minutes. The bells tangled necessarily.
 s'Hes plumb forgotten" said the car go "Go ahead.
 Mot me- said the elevator man. ssI know my job"
 z Then Senator Scott rang three bells from up above, and the elevator went up and came back down to the Hoar floor.
 .'sMy. goodness!''' said Senator Hoar, who just came out of his committee room. 'T became absorbed in book I picked up."
 While in reminiscent mood at one time Senator Hoar got to chatting about New England hospitality, says the New York World. Tt is better now than it used to be" he said, ''but it will stand improvement here and there. I remember how I dined not long ago with a Connecticut farmer, a boyhood friend of mine. For dinner there was turkey. It was an excellent birdI. and ate of it heartily. said, John, this turkey will make fine hash tomorrow Yes, George, it will the leave off now.
 Not long ago Senator Hoar told an incident of his legal practice in con nection with his remarks about the dangerous condition of the old gov ernnent printing office, says the Pitts burg Dispatch. II am reminded said he, .of something that happened in the supreme court of our state some years ago. They held court at Northampton, and went over to Mount Holyoke, F Where lueIS iS HI CISVaIok WAAeA eeANSo travellers up the side of steep rock 100 or 200 feet to avoid the ,diff1- culty of climbing. The judges, as judges are apt to be, were nearly all of them rather corpulent men. Six or seven got into the elevator at once. They saw that the rope that held the car, in which they went was very much frayed, and they asked the manager if he did not think it was 9 little unsafe. Yes the manager said, 1t is wholly unsafe and likely to break every min ute, but we are going to have new one next Monday
