MADAME" Fitted Him.

The friends of a certain senator say
that, although it is admitted that some
one used senate stationery to promote
a mining scheme, it is very unjust to
make any charge of dishonesty against
the kindly old man. To illustrate his
character, they tell this story: He
was one of the funeral party that ac-
companied the body of a distinguished
senator to it's burial place. On the
return trip he went early to bed The
next morning his round, red face, de-
void of hair, gentle of expression and
wrinkled, was thrust out of his berth
as the Pullman conductor passed by.
Are we on time, captain?" called out
the senator in his thin piping voice.
Just on time, madame said the con-
ductor, as he lifted his hat and passed
on.
