MADE FAST FRIEND.
How Dr.. Lyman Beecher Won
Over Bitter Enemy.
Personal Contact Converted Old Neigh
Dor, Who Had Been Violently OPP
posed to Him, Into One Of
His Enthusiastic Admirers.

The surprising effect personal con-
tact sometimes has in our estimation
| of persons against whom We had pre-
vfOuSly maintained prejudice is well
j Illustrated in the following humorous
story of Lyman Beecher, the preacher.
"While Mr.. Beecher was settled in
Boston he had as ne;ghbor an old
wood sawyer, a rough, shrewd man,
the member of "a rival sect, who. al
though he had never seen the doctor.
was violently bitter against him. Mr..
Beecher himself had formed habit
of saving a great deal of wood as an
exercise for maintaining his health.
He was as fastidous i'm the care of
his saw as n musician i'm the care of
his Cremona No moments were hap
pier with the famous clergyman than
those spent In the careful filing Of its
teeth. s,t
Looking out of his study window
one day. when his own woodpile was
reduced TO a discOuraging state of or
der, Mr.. Beecher saw with envy the
pile of the aforementioned neighbor.
Forthwith he seized his saw and soon
the sawyer of the, street opposite be-
held a man without cravat and in his
shirt sleeves issuing from Brother
Beecher's house, who came briskly up
and asked if he wanted hand mt the
pile. The doctor fell to work and
soon proved to his brother sawyer that
he was no mean hand ut the craft.
'Nodding his head significantly at
the opposite house. the old sawyer
said: You live there?'
"B-Yes.
"S-WOrk for the old man?
"B-YeS.
"S-What sort of an old fellow is
"B-Oh. pretty much like the rest
of us. Good man enough To work for.
"S-Tough old chap. amt he?
"B-Guess so, to them that try to
chaw him up.
"S-First rate saw. that of your'n
"This touched the doctor in ten
der point. He had set that saw as
carefully as the articles of his creed;
every tooth was critically adjusted.
and SO he gave smile of triumph.
"T say" said the old sawyer. where
can / get saw like that?
"B-I don't know unless you buy
mine.
"S-will you trade? What do you
ask?
'B-I don't know; Til think about
1t. Call at the house tomorrow and
I'll tell you.
"The next day the old man knocked
and met the doctor at the door. fresh
from the hands of his wife, with his
coat brushed and cravat tied, going
out to pastoral duty. The sawyer gave
start of surprise.
"Oh,' said the doctor. you're the
man that wanted TO buy my saw.
Well, you shall have it for nothing;
only let me have some OF your wood
to saw when you work on my street.
"'Be hanged said the old sawyer.
when he afterward told the story, If |
I didn't want to crawl into an auger
hole when found 1t was old Beecher
himself l had been talking with so |
frank the day before
1T need scarcely be said that from |
that time the sawyer was one of the
doctors stoutest and most enthusiasts
tic advocates; not word would he
hear against him. He affirmed that /
old Beecher Is right glorious old
fellow, and the only. man in these
parts that can saw wood faster than
I cam"

Montgomery. March 1.-Separate an- swers were filed today by Postmaster General Albert $.

REPUBLICANS ALREADY DISCLAIMNIG BLAME

Washington, March i.-tSpeciaL)- )-Sen- ator Lodge, republican leader in the up- per branch of Congress, declares that the republican party is not responsible for the filbuster which resulted in the
 disgraceful' close of the Sixty-htth session of Congress.
 He declares the filibuster due to the recalcitrant attitude of three republican, senators, sherman, France and Lar oi- lette whose activity, due to spleen, could not be restrained.
 It Is true that the republicans, r a caucus, dld declare against filiouster, as far as the Liberty Loan bill was con cerned It is equally true, as all u ose who observed might testify, that the thre. ..flibustering' senators were aided ard abetted by advice and encourage ment by not less than a dozen o,her republican senators who by their action were equally as guilty as the ring lead- CTS.
 Especially was such assistance rem oered when democrats attempting to break the filibuster, resorted to points ot order and rules of procedure. Senator Smoot, an old line republican and an ex- celent parliamentarian, was highly ef- fective in argument to the end that Sher- man. in his long concluding speech, vas entitled to the floor for period limited onl. by his physical strength.
 The Lodge disclaimer that the repub- leans as a party were not responsible is indicative of the fear already assert ing itself in republican hearts that the people will resent the tactics which scrapped necessary legislation and g~eat- ly embarrassed the various departments, sorely in need of finances.

ed directly above were able to desipher the message.
 It is interesting in this connection to report that despite the warning, the 'en- ator did yield, and thus was unable te fulfill his purpose of talking until the clock struck the hour of F.
 Senator Underwood asked unanimous consent that a House resolution, rels tns entirely to House business, be considered, witI the understanding that beca-5e of such consideration, sherman would not lose his right to the floor.
 sherman agreed and unanimous con sent was obtained. The resolution would have given authority to members of the House to employ a secretary and a clerk, and to put the names of such employees on the roll. When the resolution was read, Senator Gore offered an amend ment providing for the discharge of all soldiers within the United States within D days after application.
 Senator Underwood moved that the amendment he laid on the table. The roll was called and the senate refused to ta- ole the amendment.
 In the meantime, the clock was ticking away the precious minutes. and Senator sherman was stamping about fin great
 mpatience.
 And then Senator Lewis offered a reso lution expressing the hope of the Senate that the Presidents voyage might be a pleasant one Argument was adva nd that the amendment was out of orter And then Senator Trammell offered an amendment 10 the Gore amendment that demobiizatlon be effected within 50 rath- CT than 30 days.
 This amendment was tabled. But wher the roll was completed the hour of l! had arrived, and sherman still retains portion of that great speech in his system.

INDICATIONS OF FIGHT ON CLARK FOR SPEAKER

Washington. March 7.-tSpeciaIl 1.-The extreme Wilsonites of the House are pre- pairing to oppose the election of Champ Clark. .ex-speaker, to the post of minori- ty leader. They favor Representative Garrett Of Tennessee.
 They do not think the man to be chosen democratic leader in a Congress which will undoubtedly continuously heckle the President, should be the man who was the Presidents chief opponent in tine Baltimore convention.
 1t is said, also, that's thls movement, made by men whose careers were char acterzed by their Insistence on extreme legislation during the, war, may be event ually directed against Representative kitchh as ranking minority member of the ways and means committee, and Representative Dent, as ranking minority member of the military committee. a These gentlemen have organized and named a steering committee.
