AN EXPERIENCE WITH
ANDREW HAMILTON

In a group Of members Of a big
Michigan avenue club night or two
ago, discussing railroad legislation The
beef inquiry and other more or less re-
lated topics, was prominent official
Of western road, guest Of one of the
others.
While he had not taken any active
part IA discussing the various topics
under consideration, at no time did
he fail to convey his wishes TO the
man through the iGcdmm OF q youth,
who always appeared at his elbow
when SOMEBODY touched the button
Finally tine conversation drifted TO
the renewed interest in life insurance
matters, when the visitor sGddenly
chined in with the remark; You can
bet that Andy Hamilton is all right
One of his listeners s"plied with i'll
concealed skcpticism: What do you
know about lIamiton%
"What do | know about lIamilton%'
was the quick retoyt Il have known
Judge Hamilton for 20 years, | guess.
At any rate, 1t is more than dozen
years since got letter one day from
a New York railroad man advising me
that his friend, Andy Hamilton, was
about to make a trip out to orr town
and that he wanted me to take care Of
him.
"At that time I did not know who
Hamilton was ana paid very little at
teution to the letter. owing to press Of
business matters. However, | was
sharply reminded Of the letter and It's
writer a few days later, when the Of.
fee boy brought in Judge Hamlton's
card
Our legislature was in session at
the time and guess some of the
members we're getting about as ran
tankerous as that chap who some
months ago got Senator Depew into
hot water At any rate, Hamilton
made himself known in short order
wasting no time in coming to tho
point He said that the great life in
surance interests Of The country were
threatened with Irresponsible hostile
