THE VINDICATION OF HENDERSON
OF GREENE.
[Continued from page 6. Col. 4]
It's hard enough to get the
ferent problem. We had been work-
ing quietly at the thing for days, for
‘we knew the veto was coming, and
that the old man would wait until the
last night to send it in. We had a
hundred and one tried and true
who would stick to the end. The hun-
dred and second was Jim Berry.
had his promise, and
would stay in line—though he
afraid of his constits—for he was
poor and in debt.
“Judge Hardin came and sat beside
‘me that we might check them off for
Gutssives, and Hen began calling the
“‘Allen!’
“Aye!”
“‘Ambaugh!®
“‘Aye!’
“ ‘Anderson!’
“Aye!”
“ ‘Bartly!’
“‘Aye!’
“The leaders, Jamison over on the
Republican side, and Riley on the
Democratic, sat at their desks, with
roil calls, at which they thoughtfully
blew the smoke of their cigars as they
checked the progress of the vote.
“Bell, of course, was on the other
side, and was standing back with
George Herrick, keeping their fellows
in line and cheering up the reformers
from the Municipal league, but we
‘knew his vote would have its effect on
Berry, so 1 pulled the speaker's coat-
‘tail, and 'Zeke leaned over and whis-
pered hoarsely to the clerk. Hen ob-
served a lengthened pause and then
began to call more slowly. Berry
was the next name.
“ ‘Berry!’ Hen drawled.
“There was no reply.
“ ‘Berry 1 ’
“There was no reply.
“Hen looked at Berry, and the pol-
troon sat there with his eyes cast
down, rolling his cigar around and
around in his mouth, tearing up his
little flakes of paper, and swinging
from side to side in his chair. Then
Hen called the next name:
“” ‘Bri ggs! ’
“‘No!’ he voted, and Berry looked
up for the first time since the bill had
come over from the senate. ‘Zeke
rapped flercely with his gavel, and
Hen paused. Then "Zeke said sharply:
“‘The chair is compelled again to
call the attention of gentlemen to rule
three, which prohibits smoking in the
hall of the house. The chair dislikes
to be compelled to repeat this admoni-
tion so frequently, and trusts that
gentiemen will observe the injunction
without additional suggestion. The
clerk will proceed with the calling of
the roll’ And he smashed the bro-
ken sounding board again with his
gavel. We needed time. Some of the
members laughed, but that only gave
‘Zeke a chance to gain more time by
rapping for order. We feared the ef-
fect, however, on discipline. Then he
called Brisbane, one of our fellows,
and he didn’t vote. I grew uneasy,
and Judge Hardin was squirming there
‘beside me on the lounge. When I
thought of Berry I grew mad, and
wondered if we could save the bill
without him. At that instant my eye
happened to light upon Henderson of
Greene. He was standing under the
gallery just as he had been standing
all evening. He seemed not to have
moved. He had his hands clasped
awkwardly behind him, and was chew-
ing his tobacco contemplatively. And
here was my chance! I thought of the
pathetic biography in the house direc-
tory.

the governor had said it was a bad
piece of legislation. Well, there was
no time to liscuss that phase of the

see, and cast for the bill or against it,
can have no appreciable effect upon
the result. The bill will pass without
your vote, and cannot defeat it, for
the hundred and two will stand firm
in the end. One of them, however—it
is Berry, I don't mind telling you—is
trying, at the last ute, to force us
inating.
“‘l know, Henderson,’ I continued,
‘that you are a poor man, that you
have a large family, that you have to
work hard for a living. You are go
ing home tomorrow, maybe not to
come back here any more, and you
can go, if you wish, with three thou-
sand ‘dollars clean, cold cash in your
pocket. What do you say?”
“The old man turned his face away
and began to fumble with his horny
fingers at his chin. His hand trembled
as with a palsy. We could hear the
roll call going on outside.
“‘Hear them? I said. ‘It's nearly
up to you—what do you say?
“The old man's lips quivered, and
his calloused fingers grated in his |
beard. He opened his lips to speak,
but his jaw moved helplessly. And
we heard Hen's voice back there in
the house calling—calling so that you
could have heard him over in the Le-
land barroom:
“‘Geisbach!’
“ ‘No!’
“‘He is one of those who will .
change,’ 1 said.
“‘Giger!’
“There was no respcnse. ‘He'll be
all right when they call the absentees,’
I said.
“‘Gordon!’*
“ ‘No!’
“‘Griesheimer!’
“ae Aye!’
“‘Hear them?’ I asked. The H's
came next, and the old man, still fumb-
ling with his chin, and without turn-
ing his head, began to talk:
“ ‘Baldwin,’ he sald, ‘you're right. I
am a poor man. I have a wife an’
eight children. Tomorrow I'm goin’
back home, an’ on Monday I'm goin’ to
aunt a job—hunt a job in the harves'
fleld. I've worked all my life. I
‘spect to work hard all my life. I'll
keep on huntin’ jobs in the harves'
flelds. I'll probably die in the poor-
house. I'll be buried in the potter's
fleld. God knows what'll become of
that woman and them children.’
“He nodded his head as in assent
to an indisputable proposition, and his
eyes widened as if in fright. They
were looking down the barren years
before him, and I felt in that moment
glad of my power to brighten them.
“ i we heard Hen call
“ue o!’
“ ‘Henderson of Effingham.
“‘Aye!’
“The old man straightened out his
long, lank figure, and then suddenly
he turned and looked me in the eyes.
“ ‘But Baldwin,’ he said, ‘I come here
last January an honest man, and to-
morrow I'm goin’ back, back to ol
Greene, back to my people, back to
that woman an’ them children, an’
Baldwin'—he gulped the word—‘Bald-
win, I'm goin’ back an honest man.’
“‘Henderson of Greene!’ Hen's
voice called, and the old man stalked
into the corridor and thundered ‘No!’
in a trumpet note.”
The lobbyist ceased. The train had
stopped at Chenoa, and they could
hear the breathing
rests. The noise ceased presently,
and the silence of the wide country
night ensued. They heard only the
notes that came from the throats of

British Cows Which Eat Fish.
Dried coalfish, unsalted, is eaten by
the inhabitants of the Faroe islands
(between Shetland and Iceland) or
their cows, says a consular report.
The fish, which is of the cod type, is
considered good for cows, as it en-
ables them, it is stated, to yield an
ample supply of rich milk.
fish is not cooked before being eaten;
it is merely laid on stones and then
pounded with stones or hammers.
Time Saved.
In a large family, where there are
many children, much loss of time and
annoyance is saved if, before putting
stockings into the wash each week,
each person will tack the two stock-
ings of each pair at the hems, says
Suburban Life. There is no trouble
lin trying to mate them afterward, as
| each person may use a different col-
ored thread.
Make Little of Life's Ills,
To be poor is not always pleasant,
but worse things than that happen at
sea. Small shoes are apt to pinch,
but not if you have a small foot; if
we have little means it will be well
| to have little desires. Poverty is no
| shame, but being discontented with it
is.—Charles H. Spurgeon.

“A great many old plays are being
fitted out with alleged melodies and
sent out as operettas.” “That's right.

Fine for Two.
“Did you ever tell that young man
that late hours were bad for one?”
asked father at the breakfast table.
“Well, father,” replied the wise daugh-
