as much things will. The visitor re
turned to his nome. and local news
paper interviewed him about lis trjl
to Washington and his reception b,
the president. Then out came the
story about the senators.
One of the senators who figured ir
the tale let his indignation cool for
a while, and then he called upon the
president, explaining that the latter
had been quoted as saying so and
so. (which, Of course, was impos
sible for a president Of the United
States to say about a member Of the
senate,' and requesting that the re-
port be denied, so that the people OF

The president. OF course assured
the senator that the whole story was

The senator. wondering at this, for
