He could have been chairman, by right of seniority, when Mr. Davis was made chairman in 1891, on the retirement of Mr. Sherman; and again he could have become chairman when Senator Davis died. He did act in that capacity for nearly a year, but he always seemed to prefer the chairmanship of the Committee on Commerce.
This brought me back to Boston, and to my second and final year of service on the Examining Committee. The chairmanship of the sub-committee on branches gave me opportunity for studying library work as it touched the child and the school in cities.
It carries with it an excuse to live in Washington, some social position there, and a title envied in Marion, Reno, Butte, or Salt Lake City. Senators who start young serve long and obediently, suppressing all their natural instincts for self-expression, and attain if they are lucky the scant distinction of a committee chairmanship in a legislature that has steadily tended toward submergence.
Gayford pushed the beer jug and a glass toward him, saying: "Help yourself, Joe." Joe drank a draught, wiped his mouth on his blue sleeve, and remarked: "No offense, gentlemen."

I met the burghers under Commandants Cilliers, Bester, Mentz, and Van Coller. S.J.M. Wessels.

"I wish you could have been here when he called," said Burbank. "I am sure you would have changed your mind." "When does he resign the chairmanship of the national committee?" I asked. "He agreed to plead bad health and resign within two weeks after the convention." Burbank gave an embarrassed cough.
"I cannot say; but I was happy while I was here. Why did you send me away?" "For the same reason that I now ask you to come back. I wanted you to be of use independently." "Yet here I am dependent upon you again." "No; you have this in your own hands: it is your position." "That secures the chairmanship? But am I at all likely to be accepted?"
But that is how silly little Victorine leading the hue and cry which suddenly overwhelmed all counter-suggestion as a levee crevasse sweeps away sand-bags that is how the permanent and combined chairmanship of Sisters and Bazaar came to be forcibly thrust upon Anna instead of Flora. Experienced after Odd-Fellows' Hall and St. Louis Hotel, the ladies were able to take up this affair as experts.
A district officer, asked by Lord Spencer for his views on the Coercion Act, replied: 'The only coercion I can perceive, your Excellency, is that people accustomed to live on potatoes and milk are forced to feed on salmon and wine. The last outrage I intend to mention in this chapter was a very remarkable one. There was a contest for the chairmanship of the Tralee Board of Guardians.
