Love for Horse
The deep-rooted affection Of the
sharp-tongued Senator for his horse
is love respected by all those who
know him. Every morning, no mat
ter how cold may be the weather, he
mounts his steed promptly at $50
for a ride through Rock Creek park
near his home. Promptly at 1890 he
returns and goes to Capitol Hill to
begin his day that sometimes extends
far into the night.
Each morning after the ride he
gives Jester" a lump of sugar.
One morning not long ago he was
trotting along the bride path swiftly
and his head brushed against some
leaves of low hanging branch. He
was not hurt bue he dismounted to
