Senator Johnston's Job.
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 .
"Oh. lust my board and keen and a
few clothes now and then," he care
lessly answered. i
- "Is that all? . Why don't you leave

her? Come to me; I will pay you well."
"But." said the senator, 'you see, I
have a life contract with Mrs. John
ston." "A life contract!" shrilled the lady in
horror. "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

"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?'

him. i

" 'Hold on,' said the farmer.
" 'Walt," said the dealer. 'For that
