When I saw him iie was not in any apparent misery, thought his crush hang- ing in a mangled condition and the blood was fast ebving from his veins.

A few hours later he died from tho effects of the shock. ~ There is no theory for the eccentricities of the case. All we know or all we can say is that the pecul- iar 1nsensibility to pain he exhibited 1u some way avose from the nervous shock. 1n some manner the injury paralyzed t sory | nerves and left tha nerves of motion intact, for he could talk ail right and move himself readily.

If General Washington should happen back iu the flesh and stumble into that room he would fancy that the capitol had becn turned mto a lunatic asylum, and this was one of its wards. To get that fa cutof the old gentleman's head would re quire an education in modern progress that would bewilder him. Thereason is that these clerks were using the most modern imple- ments and method. ome of them were sit- ting before typewriters with long rubber. serpert-like tubas stuck in their eavs, and others were standing up and yelling like orators at anoutdoor mass meeting. They held sheets of paver in their hands and yelled out what they said. These noisy clerks were reading snorthand report into graphophones. I'he one who was reading Senator Hill's newly perpe- trated oration was uuconsciously adopt- inz not only the senator's exact tone, but even th swing of Mr. Hil left arm, The one who was reading off Senator Mil speoch was doing itin @ sharp nasal key, and with the sing-song balunce and rhythm which all old senators fall into.
