Saint Mary's beacon. [volume] (Leonard Town, Md.) 1867-1983, 1907-08-29

A pretty story, in which he figures
as neither financier nor politician,
is told OF Senator Clark, of Montana.
This event was stag dinner given
by the Hon. John Nj. Thurston, of
Nebraska, in honor of the late Post
master General Payne. Among the
guests were Senator Clark and the
late David b. Henderson, then
Speaker of the House OF Representa-
tives, who acted as postmaster.
Being perfectly ACQUAINTED with the
general ability of an American to
sing his national anthem, Mr.. Hen
derson rose, aud proposed the toast,
America; to which | will ask the
leading Democrat to respond by
singing The Star-Spangled Ban
ner. 80 Then he bowed to Senator
Clark. Amid ageneral now-yo are
caught smile. the copper king
quietly rose, and stood an instant
with hands grasping the back of his
chair, and head bent as if in thought.
Then lifting himself erect, out into
the room rang the grand old anthem.
At the end of the first verse he stop
ped, and. nodding across at Speaker
Henderson. quietly remarked: ~
leave it to the leading Republican
to begin the chorus" after which
little retort, he himself, with per-
feet courtesy, began the chorus, and
sang the anthem throughout. a feat
of which no other man at the table
was capable save the host.
