VHT ASHINGTON.-Just as the day
W shift Of the Capitol police force
was about to knock off duty at dusk the
other evening an automobile rolled in
to the driveway, under the house
steps, and a middle-aged man and a
young roman got out and walked
briskly through the doorway. One of
the officers on the door stopped them
n politely gave the information
that the time for receiving visitors
for the day was over.
For a moment the man hesitated.
Then. from behind him there stepped
out hurriedly a much younger man,
VINO said something in a low voice to
the officer. The latter's manner
changed Immediately. He grabbed his
cap from his head. and, bowling low,
said:

+. ! Just thought l would like to look
over the new seats in the house."
said President Wilson with a smile.
The officer led the way to the eleva-
tor, and they were lifted up to the
next floor. They walked through the
corridor, and came to the members
lobby, There they discovered that the
doors leading to the house chamber
were locked.
The officer hurried back downstairs
to the sergeant-at-arms' office to get
the key.
