JUST & REMINDER
SOLID LAND ,
What a Seasick Statesman
sired Above All Things ,
A few years ngo the late Senator
Carmack of Tennessee was put on a
special committee of the senate to
make some i = ort of cruise in Boston
harbor. The senator from Tennessee
AAas not v.scd to big bodies of water ,
for they are not to be found iu the
section of the country he came from.
The vessel had not been tugging with
the billows long before Mr. Carmack
began to got a trifle sick , and in a short
while he found it necessary to slip
away to some place where be could re
pose himself. The man in command of
the vessel had instructed one of the
mea under him to look out for the com
fort of the members of the distin
guished party. Knowing that Mr. Car-
mack was violently seasick , having
helped him to his room , the man went
bar-k to see how he was getting along.
IIo found the senator rolling and
tossing ou the couch of tne stateroom
to which he had been assigned.
"Is there anything you want ? ' ' , he
asked the senator , after indulging in
the conventional ceremonies.
"Yes , " said the senator , as he pulled
himself together. "I would give any
thing in the world right now i'or a
pinch of dry dirt. "
