Tales Told in the Corridors of the Ma
 tional Capitol Between Hours

Washington, D. C., Feb. 21.-Senator Proctor of Vermont, is in the habit of putting on OveralIs and boots. and in making a tour of his state each fall. Two years ago he was invited to take dinner with a farmer constituent.
 The wife of the farmer, who was to have bacon and cabbage, was so eX- cited because of the high position of her guest that she almost allowed the cabbage to scorch.
 'T'u have to apologize for the cab baSe" she began.
 "Oh, don't do it." Senator Proctor said, If there is any one thing I do like it is to have my cabbage burned just 9 little"
 Every farmers wife passed the news along and now whenever the Senator takes dinner with a constituent he IS obliged to eat burned cabbage and look as if he enjoyed it.

ON ONE JOB FIFTY YEARS.

It is inspiriting to the young and struggling subordinate to have his at tention sailed occasionally to instances of men who have stuck to their jobs through thick and thin. even though they didn't rise to great heights in their line of work, but simply did their duty as they saw it and got great sat
 sfaction out of it.
 There is the case of w. w. Will helm of Duncannon, Pennsylvania, who celebrated his eighty birthda 7 last Sunday. He was as happy as heart could wish in the thought that he has done his life work well. With his erect bearing and quick step he would be taken for a man many years younger. He has travelled a greater number of miles by rail, it is believed than any other person Iiving-he has 3,OOO,OOO miles to his credit, and most of the distance has been covered as he stood over the rattling wheels of q baggage car on the Pennsylvania rail- road between Philadelphia and Pitts burg. In point of service. he is one of the oldest employees of the Penn sylvania Railroad company He began work September 20, 1850, and labored continuously until he was retired. in 19O0-just half century of services Previous to entering the companys employ he worked on the Pennsylvania canal. between Baltimore. Harrisburg and Hollidaysburg.
 He has watched the evolution of the Pennsylvania railroad almost from it's infancy and lived and worked while other less fortunate employees have come and gone. Railroading had fas- cinatiOn for him, and he was never happier than when at his post of duty.
 A record of the trips made during his long service shows that he has travelled over the rails 3622 25O miles, a distance equal to one hundred and thirty-one times the circumference of the globe. For fifty years he resided in the city of Philadelphia, and he is well and favorably known over the line which he traveIed for so many years. Mr Wilhelm is now a resident of Dun cannon, where he will probably make his home for the rest of his life. with the family of w. II. Smith, who has long been the agent for the Pennsyl- vania Railroad company at that place.

of that state, although it was not
charged that they were present when
the crime was committed. The cases
came to this court on an appeal from
decision of the Idaho federal court
refusing to grant writs of habeas cor

Idaho authorities secured jurisdiction
