Senator Johnston of Alabama told with gusto an incident which happened to him during the summer. The senator has a beautiful home In Alabama and he loves to put on his old clothes and fix up the garden. Mrs. Johnston went out one day In July and left the senator In charge. Soon a lady came to call. Seeing the senator In the yard she mistook him for the -rardener and said: "My good man. Is Mrs. Johnston In?" "No," he answered. ' The lady then stepped up and in spected the flower bed upon which he w)bs working. " "Have you' been with Mrs. Johnston long; does she treat you well?" she In quired. "Twenty years I have been with her',' answered the crafty senator! "and she treats me pretty well," '' "What does she jpay your persisted the lady. ; i .

"Why, that is not legal; that Is peonage." ' "well, laughed Senator Johnston, "that may be another name for It. I have always called It marriage myself." Sherman's rinlsh. Vice President-elect James Sherman was entering the New Willard at a time when Peacock alley was crowded. He wandered about for some time before any one recognized him. A senator, whose name can be given on demand, noticing Mr. Sherman, turned to a news- aper correspondent and whispered be Ind ,hls hand, "Look at Sherman. He's as lonely and unidentified aa though he had already been inaugurated." Congressman "Ed" Madison of Kan sas assigned this '"prosperity" story as being productive or more votes in his fight for reelection than any other argu ment that ha presented. "TV begin wJth,r said Madison, "back In 194. a Kansas farmer got 10 cents a bushel for bis corn. It is now selling for something like 70 oents a bushel. In 1884. a farmer in my district bought a farm wagon for $60. Time went on and the other day that's the way I brought it home to them the same farmer came back to the same dealer for a similar wagon. " "It was a good one,' he said. 'That's the reason I want another. How much are you going to charge me?' " "I think vou paid $60 for that wag on, man i your asxea trie dealer.

'And you had to give me 600 bushels. "1 did, but what has that got t0( do with it? spluttered the farmer. "'7ou bring me 00 bushels of corn and I'll give you this wagon.' " 'Hold on,' said the farmer. " 'Walt," said the dealer. 'For that corn I'll give the wagon, a 12S" sur rey, a $125 self-binder, an ISO kitchen range. $20 worth of kitchen utensils, and then some more. Add them up. friend."
