In his first term his boyish and unaffected look and his small, wiry figure made manyof his colleagues take himfor a page. He was asked by them to “take these papers to the desk.” He took the treatment with great humor and the embarrassment was all with the others when they found they had asked a fellow member of congress to wait on them.
