legislators for what they might maxi
out of the situation.
| am reminded of a story which {
door-keeper of the Senate told me
During the Legislature of 1868. som,
pet scheme being under consideration
a Senator occupying a seat near thu
entrance, was approached by tn
Senator who was trying to push tina
pet measure, when the dOor-keepel
overheard the following conversation
You are going to vote for my bill
aren't you?" he asked the Senator
near the door.
Il don't think 1 WILL" he replied.

lection can you raise against my
measure 2"
It's nothing but an effort to swim
die the State
You are open to conviction. arenr
you?" asked the scheming Senator
IF | can give you fifty good reason
why my bill ought to pass" Cat the

piece of paper, and writing SO on thu
right hand thus $500, won't you vote
for it
mo. SIR" answered the Senator.
But, suppose | show you a hun
dred good reasons" placing 100 to the
right of the dollar mark; don't vol
think they would convince you?"
Can you do that?'' asked the Sen
ator.
"Of course 1 can and 1 will" an.
swered the schemer.
"All right" said the Senator.
The door-keeper said a roll of bill:
fell from the hands of the schemel
into the Senator's hat. which sat OF
his desk before him, and" said the
dOor-keeper, II saw him count GU
his hundred reasons and slip then
into his vest pocket, and when the rol
was called the Senator, in a loud ton,
of voice, answered. "aye.' and tbs
bill passed by his vote.
