THAD. STEVENS HUMoR

Many jokes is credited to Thaddeus
Stevens, who 2 led the republicans in
congress during the civil war and re-
construction period.
One Of the very keenest of his tests,
which Isl undoubtedly authentic, is SO
commonplace in sound that one might
easily be forgiven for falling to take

plcyees Of the house Of representatives,
used to carry him in large armchair
from his lodgings across the public
grounds, up the broad stairs to the cap:
itol. ~
.ttWho,D he said to them one dav,
will be as good to me and bear me
IN their strong arms when you two
mighty men ara gones'' !.
tis Such a question implied nothing short
OF. a sense Of intellectual immortality,
When he took to his bed for. the
last time visitor told him he was look
ing well. 4. /.

not rise to object, but to suggest that

One day a member of the house of
representatives, who was noted for. his
uncertain course on all questions and
who confessed that he, never iinyeati,
gated a point under discussion without
finding himself neutral, asked for leave
Of absence. s. s5 s.
