i
| A majority Of Congressman are
imporvident, and when they are com.
PEELED TO leave Washington have only
q sufficient surplus on hand 10 carry
them home. II matters little how
much these men make, the result 10
the same. for they live up TO their
revenue. 3a
Among the many was Daniel w.
Voorhees,. 40 we'll known In his pub
lie career ~ famous orator, n genial
generous. good feilvw and boon com.
panion, In money matters Voorhees,
was ms simple and ignorant as child.
He parted with his money with no
thought Of its value. The middle OF
the month generally found him
broke but this worried him little,
for he managed to get along just as
well until pay day. He ordered what
he wanted and had II charged. and
then forgot all about H. The funny
part OF his nature was that while he
did not remember his creditors, he
always kept In mind his friends, and
would give them the last cent he had
u they applied for assistance.
One day an old constituent OF Mr..
Voorhees, from the Wabash. in lndi-
ana, called at the Capitol TO see the
Senator. Not finding him in he wen,
10 the Office Of the sergeant -at-arms,
that position then being held by R. J.
Bright. also from Indiana, and an
intimate friend Of Voorhees,. The
old man told his story TO Bright. and
the reason why he was In search OF
Voorhees,. In effect II was that he
was hard up" and Voorhees, owed
him $50 on a note, and he needed
the money badly, and was there to
collect II. Bright thought the story
over and said;
Now. my friend, II you 40 to Dan
to collect this money he will not pay
you a dollar. On the other hand, II
you will go TO him. tell him a hard
luck story, and put up poor mouth,
he viii raise and give you every dol
lar he can"
The man took this advice and meet
ing Voorhees, told him what a bad
fix he was in and his need Of a little
assistance Voorhees, affcctionately
put his arm over his shoulder and
said: William, | am very sorry for
you. and ! will help you all | can
Come and 60 with me to the clerks
Office. ! do not know whether /
have any money or not, but will
give you all have"
The clerk informed the Senator
that there happened to be over 500
to his credit. This surprised voor-
hces, but he said; Give il all to my
friend here. as he is long way from
home and needs i, more than H.
Mr.. Voorhees, devoted the last ten
years Of his life to the Congressional
Library Until his death he took no
interest in politics or anything else
but the library. and TO him, more than
