A Depew Story.
Three years ago. with a physical
'ystem that was wrecked and a mind
oerilously near serious impairment.
Senator Chauncey Depew went to Billy |
Muldoon's almost as last resort. Be-
ng a member of the most august body
n the world and man who had been
accustomed to "the best of everything"
he senator very naturally concluded
hat the rule of the institute would be
relaxed in his particular
ase; that he would be exempted from

tunts required of other elderly men
f less distinction.
