A GENTLEMENS AGREEMENT

The president glanced at the en-
graved card his secretary handed to
MN, and suppressing the slightest
smile OF satisfaction, said "ShOw the
senator in"
Enter tall, distinguished man, i'm
peccably dressed. He placed a shape
ly, well manicured hand in the presi-
dents extended palm and the two ex-
changed the formal greetings of
strictest propriety. The president re-
sumed his seat at his desk and notion

You received my message" observ-
cd the president.
Eyes, Mr.. President, that is what
brought me here"
We'll, senator, you doubtless have
surm1sed my purpose in requesting
this interview, since you are so deeply
interested in the selection of a federal
judge in your state and you know of
my interest in securing the passage
of the Underwood tariff bill now be-
fore the senate. In brief, it has &C.
Cured to me that these apparently
unrelated interests of yours and mine
might be so correlated as to prove of
great mutual advantage. Could not
you suggest some such happy solu-
tion?"
The senator thoughtfully flecked a
speck of plebian dust from his aristo
cratic spats with a pearl grey glove

drawl peculiar to the old cavalier

Mr.. President. l reckon some ar
rangement of the sort could easily
be effected, but it would be improper
for me to make the suggestion"
All! senator, l have always adj
mired your perspicacity, and l am
charmed by your great delicacy, which
Is equaled only by your unpoluted
virtue. While l am not committed to
anyone in the appointment of a feder-
al judge in your state, the impression
has gone forth that have decided up
