Frick sat down on one of the big, carved chairs and fairly whined: "I've chased and chased all about here, and no one knows where Joel is. Polly, do find him for me," and he began to sniffle. "Oh, I can't," began Polly impatiently, then she finished, "Dear me! Why, I don't know in the very least where Joel is, Frick! not the leastest bit in the world."
Dear me!" as she ran by the window "do just see those dreadful boys." At the word "boys" Polly ran too, and peeped over her shoulder. "Oh, I must speak to Frick," and without more warning, she raced out of the room, and down the front stairs. "Polly, Polly Pepper!"
On March 30 by a vote of 20 ayes, 7 noes, the Senate passed a joint resolution introduced by George Arnold Frick authorizing and directing the Attorney General of Maryland to bring suit or suits to prevent the Secretary of State of the United States from proclaiming the Federal Amendment prior to the holding of a referendum thereon in certain States, and to test the validity, should the same be ratified by the elected Legislatures of three-fourths of the States.
In the "Prison Memoirs of an Anarchist," Berkman has now told us that as a youth he became a disciple of Bakounin and a fiery member of the Nihilist group.

"You are not to cheer; I see you want to," and Doctor Fisher gave a little laugh. "Yes, sir," Curtis Park answered for the rest. "Well, you "
"Yes, sir," said Frick, with a final polish to his countenance on the cuff of his jacket sleeve, "and won't you please make Joel hurry up and come out, sir? We've waited so long." "And is that the way you respond to your invitations, my boy?" said Grandpapa, with a grim smile. "I shouldn't think you'd receive many at this rate.
"Frick," began Jasper desperately, "look out and see if it rains." Frick stared in amazement, and even Joel bobbed his head over at Jasper. "Why, doesn't it rain on your side?" he cried, his black eyes very wide. "Never mind; do as I tell you," said Jasper, nowise disconcerted.
But Polly being out in the street and nearly up to the knot of boys, Alexia gave up calling and speedily ran after her, to hear her say: "Oh, Frick, I'll go and try to find Joel for you." Frick disentangled himself from the group. "I found Joel myself," he said, "and he wouldn't come." "Wouldn't come where?" demanded Alexia breathlessly, plunging up. "Out on the pond."
And the Haymarket the greatest of all American tragedies leads directly back to the Iron Chancellor and his ferocious inquisition. A few minor incidents of anarchist activity may be recorded for the following years, but the only acts of importance were the shooting of President McKinley by Czolgosz and the shooting of Henry C. Frick by Alexander Berkman.
"I can't think what it is," said Frick, sitting down on the curbstone to become lost in thought an example to be speedily followed by all the boys, till finally there was a dismal row of them, without a thought remaining of having the expedition on the pond, since Joel Pepper wouldn't come with them.
