to go down to certain department
store and get him one of those suits
of clothes selling for $5.S5.
connie" looked at the letter a long
time. and then after Eliminating in
silence. went downtown and told the
storekeeper to send to Zeb one Of those
suits:
"And be sure it is the biggest size
you've got 1t ought to fit three ordi-
nary men," warned Connie"
Some time later Senator Faulkner
,, was in West Virginia and ran upon
Zeb Hooker:
what made you send me that suit so
| big. 1t only cost $685.. but 1 had to
pay a tailor up to town another IS to
cut ii down to At me. and he took out
of 1t enough stun to make another
whole suit for my twelve-year- old boy
| and skirt for Lucy. whose goin' on
| ten"
Senator Faulkner made some reply
that indicated to Zeb that it was the
best he could do. In reality he knew
| nothing Of Zeb Hooker. or the suit
| of clothes. or the letter, either. When
| he reached Washington again. he asked
Connie" about 1t:
"A strange man. claiming that I sent
him suit of clothes held me up and
| bullyragged me because it didn't ft.''
said he.
Well" replied the astute Connie"
| it was like this: You see you got a
suit Of clothes. At first l figured out
that l wouldn't pay any attention to it,
but then I had an idea 1t might hurt
you politically: and then figured out
| that had better make blum at COM
plying with the request SO / sent
| suit that would At giant"
And why, for heavens sake?" asked
/ the puzzled senator.
Because" explained Connie" IL
had sent him a perfect fitting suit of
clothes he would be telling every one
in his district and we wouldn't have
anything to do but buy clothes for the
! rest of your term. AS 1t is no one will
ever dare to get you to do any clothes
shopping again."
y !:
And speaking of West Virginia sena :
tors and letters reminds me of a note
| that Senator Chiffon received from one
of those same Cheat mountain men. It
went something like this:
Dear Senator: 1 want a pension.
Don't ask me If I am an old soldier.
because / amt. But / need pension.
I was drafted for the war, but hired .

If you look through the directory and

He had travelled through the west and

Scotch and vichy. Consequently, after
he had gone down the Grand Canyon and
had traversed a thirst-provoking por-

to some natures when the prospect OF
little alcohol to poison the system is in

epoch in the history of lushing.
Therefore, when he saw the Man in
