W0RTH|LY BESTOWED
State Senators Tender Presi-
dent Love Beautiful Gold
Watch and Chain.

One OF the pleasantest episodes, from
social standpoint, experienced by the
senate in the sixty DAYS it has been
IN session was that which took place
at the beautiful home of President S,
II. Love IN this city Friday night. In
that modest way which is character
lstic of Mr.. Love, he quietly invited
the members of the Senate, including
the members Of the press, to meet with
him Mt his home Mt 7:30 last evening
The invitation was accepted by all who
could possibly attend. IT was n happy,
Joyous occasion 1t was an assemblage
of the majority of the members Of the
highest lawmaking body of the State,
who for sixty days had necessarily
worked hard, but, in the main, har-
moniousJy TO give TO the people of this
state better code of laws than they
have. yet had, ever careful to keep
within the limits prescribed by the con
stitution of the State-that safeguard
of the peoples rights, that guide to
wise legislation.
President Love is pleasantly situated
III his spacious home with domestic sur
roundings. 1t WAS here the guests were
cordially welcomed by the host and
hostess After Justice had been done
to an excellent dinner, the guests re-
paired to the smoking room. and SEN
ator Park was chosen spokesman. That
gentleman arose and in a bettting
speech presented, on behalf of his fell
low Senators, to President Love n beau
t,ful stick pin 10 replace the one he
had lost a few days previous. In pre-
senting the pin, Senator Park said that
they were prompted by two motives
First, that it would tend TO relieve tho
senators from any suspicion that they
or any of them were responsible for the
sudden and as yet unexplained disap-
pearance OF the pin, and, second, they
intended 1T as a slight expression OF
the esteem in which he is held by every
member of the Senate by reason of his
fair rulings and the unvarying and re-
specttul treatment they had received
at hls hands at all times and under all
circumstances.
The president was taken by surprise.
but managed TO respond in fitting terms
IN ms acceptance of their kind, but
wholly unlocked for remembrance He
spoke IN heartfelt terms of the courte-
GUS and respectful treatment ALWAYS
shown him by the members of the Sen
ate, They had aided him 10 the extent
that he would ever look back upon the
seventh session of the State Senate of
ldH hS dllpSeDnST Tue most Pheasant
time in his political life. Scarcely had
he taken his seat when Mr.. Park again
arose and said he had something more
TO say. Here he drew forth beau-
tiful velvet case, which contained an
elegant watch fob and chain in the
form of large watchdog of solid gold
appropriately inscribed. "This,1 - said
Mr.. Park, approaching Mr.. Love, "is
a more substantial token of the high
and tender regard in which YOU are
held by the members and officers of
the Senate. -
This came IN the nature of a surprise
go wholly unexpected that for once the
president was hoored. He gave audible
voice, as best he could in accepting the
gift. TO his thanks for this kind remem-
hrance. There was no speech forthcom-
ing from him, But he did better-he
that there was a little wo-
man and number of expectsnt chill
lren in the sojourning room, who were
anxious TO know what was going on,
and with his presents he retired for a
few moments The rest of the evening
until a late hour was spent in social
chat. interspersed with vocal and in
strumental music by the young ladies
present. This reception of President
Love will remain a bright spot in the
social experience Of all present.
