Show QUAKER EATETH Annnn AND GIVES BIS SEASONS. While the Christmas dinners have been going on in Washington nearly every family has kept open house a number of the Representatives and Senators Sen-ators in town have accumulated good cases of Indigestion. Druggists and physicians are now- having their day. Representative Acheson of Pennsylvania, Pennsylva-nia, while suffering, told of a Quaker over in his State who was a great "feed- er." - "One day he was dining with a friend and was. so intent upon exhibiting practically prac-tically the doctrine that 'all good j.hlngs are from God. and It is a poor compliment compli-ment to the giver to turn away from any of his gifts,' that when he passed his plate for the fifth time the host said: " 'Friend, does not think thee has eaten eat-en as much as is meet fpr thee?' " 'It is good meat. Indeed, friend, and I bless God and thee for It. I will try another plee.' " 'Too much may be bad for thee, friend, though thou art welcome.' " 'If thee only knew how I live at home friend, thee would not object to my filling up a little when I go abroad.' " |
