ever attempted by an aviator in the
war or out. Mr.. Herrick hated the
publicity which attached to this
episode. He had hoped to fly over
congress and the president and the
rest of Washington without the
sensational press knowing any
thing about it. But he couldn't Sc
cure a plane of his own and had to
content himself with flying in q
plane plloted by an army aviator.
The aviator, it is true, gave the
congressman some joyride. But
when they returned to earth the
congressman, noting carefully that
several sensational reporters were
present, berated the pilot for not
letting him fly alone and, not per-
forming more dangerous feats in
the air. The pilot smiled and so
did the sensational reporters.
Page l Stuff Grieves Him.
The congressman was deeply
grieved and mortified to note that
the newspapers had an account Of
his experiences on the first page
next day, when he felt they should
have devoted all of that valuable
space to a discussion of the mer-
its of the tariff bill.
And now Mr. Herrick is in
again. 1t seems he was called upon
at his office last evening by Anna
Niebell, the pretty girl of the Fol
lies" who claims that the con-
gressman promised to marry her.
Anna wanted the Congressman 10
act as part-angel for a new produc
/ ton in which she is to star. She
said it could be arranged if he
would invest $4,000 in the show.
