It was a treat to see the Cullom Hall team marching down the field against the first Eleven with the roly-poly figure of Jobey in the thick of every scrimmage, coaching at the top of his lungs, even when bowled over by the interference of his own pupils.
Oh, yes," replying to the look of deprecation in her face as she viewed her shabby frock, "you an' Polly c'n prink up some if you want to, but we can't take 'No' fer an answer Chris'mus day, clo'es or no clo'es." "I'd really like ter," said Mrs. Cullom. "All right then," said David cheerfully. "The path is swep' by this time, I guess, an' I'll see ye later.
I reckoned, same as you did, that Charley 'd mebbe come to the front but he hain't done it, an' 't ain't likely he ever will. Charley's a likely 'nough boy some ways, but he hain't got much 'git there' in his make-up, not more'n enough fer one anyhow, I reckon. That's about the size on't, ain't it?" Mrs. Cullom murmured a feeble admission that she was "'fraid it was." "Wa'al," resumed Mr.
Although on Harrison's side and against Blaine, Senator Cullom remarks in his memoirs that Harrison had "a very cold, distant temperament," and that "he was probably the most unsatisfactory President we ever had in the White House to those who must necessarily come into personal contact with him."
Cullom looked from David to Mrs. Bixbee, whose face was suffused. "Tell her," said David, with a grin. "I wish you'd shet up," she exclaimed. "I sha'n't do nothin' of the sort." "Ne' mind," said David cheerfully, "I'll tell ye, Mis' Cullom." "Dave Harum!" expostulated Mrs. Bixbee, but he proceeded without heed of her protest.
Governor Cullom held that while it might be inferred from the fact that the accused left the State of Pennsylvania shortly after the date of the murder that they were fugitives from justice, yet this character did not always adhere to them; and that their long residence in Illinois, which was so entirely unconcealed and well known, that the officers of justice in Pennsylvania could have been ignorant of it only because they made no effort to find it out, had purged them of the character of fugitives from justice.
Two facts presently gave great impetus to the movement; in 1886 the United States Supreme Court, reversing its previous decision, decided that no State could fix rates for railroad lines outside its own borders, in other words, that interstate rates were exclusively within the jurisdiction of the Federal authority *; and a Senate committee, under the chairmanship of Shelby B. Cullom, conducted an investigation of railroad conditions which made clear the need of immediate reform.
It was five o'clock, an' I had better 'n four mile to walk mostly up hill an' if I knowed anything 'bout the old man, an' I thought I did, I had the all-firedist lickin' ahead of me 't I'd ever got, an' that was sayin' a good deal. But, boy 's I was, I had grit enough to allow 't was wuth it, an' off I put." "Did he lick ye much?" inqured Mrs. Cullom anxiously.
"It has always been my home," he replied, "but I have been away a good deal." "I suppose folks in the city go to theaters a good deal," she remarked. "They have a great many opportunities," said John, wondering what she was leading up to. But he was not to discover, for David broke in with a chuckle. "Ask Polly, Mis' Cullom," he said. "She c'n tell ye all about the theater, Polly kin." Mrs.
"Nothing serious," he answered, "but I'm in a great hurry. Old Mrs. Cullom has walked up from her house to the office, and she is wet through and almost perished. I thought you'd send her some dry shoes and stockings, and an old shawl or blanket to keep her wet skirt off her knees, and a drop of whisky or something. She's all of a tremble, and I'm afraid she will have a chill."
