Show AS SENATOR HOAR SAW IT. Massachusetts Statesman Corrects Petitioner's Language. Senator Hoar was tackled in the senate marble room by a grizzled old fellow in a faded Federal uniform. "I was in the Thirty-fourth Massachusetts," Massa-chusetts," he explained, "the regiment that came out of the war with only 350 men. I was in the soldiers' home, but they dropped me." "And what can I do for you?" asked the aged statesman.. "i would like to get bak, and I want you to help me out," the old soldier explained. "I would suggest that it would be more accurate to say that you want me to help you in," said the senator, without, the trace of a smile. Boston Herald. |
