But While Mr. Fairbanks's Blindness Lasted
the Senate Was Anxious.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 30-It was the dreary
morning hour in the Senate, Bills galore

arose and repeated the formula;

And Mr.. Fairbanks, the Vioe-President

clerks promptings

ITO the Committee on Military Affairs
But Mr. Allison of Iowa arose. That is
always an event in the Senate. He paused
for recognition.
The Vice-President recognized Senator
after Senator-but not Mr.. Allison. The
wonder grew.
Mr. Spooner beckoned, Mr.. Aldrich
seemed fdgety, Mr.. Hale gazed at the
Vice-President and Senator Allison i'm

despatched to the Vice-President:

The clerk read:
"A bill to increase the pension Of Jennie

The secret was out Mr.. Allison is not
! without a sense Of humor. A grim smile
overspread his features. Mr.. Spooner
collapsed. Mr.. Aldrich smiled Mr.. Hale
roared, and Mr.. Lodge came forward, his
sides shaking with laughter, and congratu-
lated Mr.. Allison.
The Vice-President wondered what he

"Oh. well, said a middle aged man, as
