HIS NAME is STILL THERE
An Old Bench in Court Chamber Is
Carved "Arthur Pue German"

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-Up in
Der of the supreme court of the
United States there are a few rows of
benches where spectators were ac-
customed to sit when this small room
was the chamber of the senate of the
United States. That was in the days
before the civil war. and when the
present wings occupied by the esenate
and house had not been completed.
On the back of one of these wooden
benches is cut the name Arthur Pue
German" The name has been covered
with paint many times but it still re-
mains distinct, defying time and the
painters to efface it.
In his boyhood the late Senator Cor
man was a page in the senate and he
always was proud of the fact that he
was once a page in the distinguished
body which he afterwards served as a
member with such distinction. 1t was
while a page that he cut his name in
the back of this bench, and when any
of his particular friends visited him at
the capitol it was win genuine pleasure
that Mr.. German carried them up into
the loft of the supreme court and
pointed out the bench where his boy
ish enthusiasm had induced him Ito
carve his name. That name, long after
was indelibly written into the history
of the country, for Mr.. German became
not only great senator, but the leader
of his party, the man upon whom the
democrats depended for wisdom and
counsel in the great issues of the day.
