shave at the Senate barber shop,
where he was presided over by
Elder Smith, colored tonsorialist-

Hes the barber who prays for
me-" Mr.. Harding explained.
An amusing incident occurred as
he was leaving the barber shop in
a hurry to return to his work. JUST
as he left the door he ran into a
Capitol guard with a crowd of
sightseers in tow.
With quick presence of mind the
guard turned to the visitors. say

blushed. He recovered himself
however. smiled, bowed, and con-
