n URING the heat of the tariff ses-
- sion Representative Serene E.
Payne of New York, who boasts as
large girth as any member of con-
gress, had occasion to go to the White
House with frequency. The amount of
news he gave up on these occasions to
the newspaper men would have
starved a space writer to death in
about two days: In addition, Mr.. Payne,
who was always polite on such occa-
sions, finally became little bit gruff,
because of the rapid-fire bombardment
of questions which were daily thrown
at him. Finally, a reporter on a
Washington newspaper, who was about
as large around the waist line as Mr.
Payne, recorded the call of the Re-
publican leader at the White House
by saying that Mr.. Payne had, that
day, "waddled" in to see the president
and out again. The next day, when
hailed by the same reported for news.
Mr. Payne got even by retorting:
Tell your paper that it's reporter
waddled after Mr.. Payne, who replied
that he had no news"
Recently Mr.. Payne called at the
White House and the reporter greeted
him with:
well, Mr.. Payne, see you are still
waddling to the White House"
You must go around with look
ing-glass in front of you all the time"

THE Pressed Steel Car Company of
Pittsburg, which was recently in

fishing a branch in Washington, not
for the purpose of acquiring new bust
ness in that district, but to keep in d.
rect touch with governmental affairs.
This is following out the policy of
President F. N. Hofstot, who claims
that within few years every corpora
