times he snared fearfully. lt'frsuuent-
ly became necessary for the sergeant-
‘atnarms to wake him. because his snor-
‘ lug disturbed the proceedings oi the
Senate. Sometimes his sleep was so
heavy that he would fall out of his
chair, and when this happened it al-
ways caused a groin coinmotton in the
Senate chamber. in spite of these pc~
culturilles. Mr. MoCreery was very
popular with his fellow senators. His
“chums" were Thurman. of Ohio;
Conklin. of New York, and Zach
Chandler. of Michigan.
Senator McCreery lived at a quiet
little boarding house in Georgetown.
He had a pass on the street railroad
and it therefore cost uim nothing to
go to and from the capitol. A Ken,
tucklan once reiit’ed to me his exper-
ience- during a visit to Senator Mc-
Curry. and I shall tell the story, as i
now remember it, in order to show the I
senator's mode of living. Said my
Kentucky friend:

house was agreeable and he told me
that the charges were quit~ reasonable.
He had a nice large room and we were
given a good supper. i remember we
had fried chicken. plenty of fresh milk
and butter. Before we went down to

"Alter supper we smoked some very

been presented to him by a Kentucky
tobacco manufacturer. Along toward
10 o'clock we resumed our attacks on
the cask of whiskey and took several
drinks before midnight. All at once
the senator turned to we and asked
if l would enjoy a little sport. i told
him that ordinarily I would not object.

"but it struck me when l explored the

"Oh yes. yes," said i, vaguely. i am

"Well. sir." said Smith. "I am going
to give you a treat."
"i went with Smith to Bushnell
Park. and there in thelcentcr of a

“Very interesting." said 1.
Smith seemed .to' disappplnied.
and as we walked bar-it he looked at
me curiously. as it wondering what
sort of a sinner i was.
”There was Brown. and a nice fei—

several mutual friends and I had ex—
plained that I was on my first visit to
Hartford. he said to the:
‘Old man i feel as if I had known
you a long time. and I am anxious to
show you something that will repay

less you are tired we will walk.’
"We walked until I was nearly dead.
and our destination proved to be a
private house in the outskirts of the
town. Brown left me at tho gate
while he held a consultation with the
mistress. ilo returned to illt! smiling
and said: " .
" 'i'ortunately i know her and l have
her permission to show it to you.’
"l was very much excited as we tip-

to see an elephant or at least a time

of honor at a little dinner given by
Mrs. Maud-So. Her dining room for-

casually that my chair was of light

feel nervous about my clothes during
the evening. because i noticed that the
guests cast covert glances in my di-

to be laboring under suppressed ex~

"i don't like to exaggerate. but the
descendants of that old Charter Oak
drove me out of Hartford. When a
man began telling an interesting story
in the club he would stop just before
the climax and drag me out to see a
tree grown from an acorn picked up
under the old Charter Oak. The trees
all looked alike to me. They were so
deadly earnest about it that i didn't
like to oflond thorn. it cabman urged
the to engage him because the swkee
