Crops in Fail.

Acting Secretary OF the Treasury
Norton returned yesterday from Beverly.
where he had been conferrlng with
President Taft.

President have been talking about how TO

they also were atfable. They had
cheerful good morning" and "good
night" for every senate employe, from
the man who scrubs the polished
marble floors of the private corridor,
up to the vice-president.
Senator Hale rarely notices any per
son at the capitol who occupies q
lower place in the scale of officialdom
than representative. He addresses
those under him when he needs them
to perform a service for him, but
never can it be truthfully said that he
hobnObbed with one of them.
Old senate employees have learned,
some Of them painfully, that the sen.
ator from Maine will not tolerate famil-
iarity, nor anything that approaches
familiarity. 1t was a new member Of
the capitol police force that met Mr..
Hale coming into the big gray build
ing not long ago.
Good morning, SENATOR" breezily
exclaimed the copper.
Man." angrily returned Mr.. Hale,
If you presume to address me again,

Then he strobe down the corridor
into his committee room, leaving out
side large man, mouth open and
trembling, unable to figure out lust
what sort Of breach he had CON-
m1tted, but at the same time certain
that he had done something dreadful.
A certain elevator in the senate
wing of the capitol has on it sign
that reads: For members of the
congress and the supreme court" AL
though not mentioned on the placard,
newspaper correspondents, by cour-
tesy, are allowed to use the lift"
Senator Hale rang for the elevator re.
Gently. He wished to go from the first
to the second, or senate floor. When
the car stopped he stepped aboard.
and was followed by a stranger. Be-
fore the conductor could close the
door, Hale stepped out of the car, say.
ing to the conductor:
When you have taken this person
to his destination, you may return for
me-"
Incidents such as these in which
Senator Hale has figured are numer.
Gus at the capitol. From the galleries
the senator appears to be a fatherly
person. Those who know him in
timately say he is agreeable and
kindly-he has few intimate friends.
His record shows that he is an e,fec.
tive legislator, and he is recognized
as one of the biggest men in the sen.
ate. Yet to the casual person with
whom he comes in contact, he sug-
gests human iceberg.
Experienced reporters would just as
soon jump into the Potomac on a
winters day as to try to get a talk
from Hale for publication.
