Washington Statesman Wiriness Quietly Outfoxed
In a Washington anecdote, Representative Mercer wagers on a clerk resigning, and a surprise shows the official signs his own resignation. Senator Daniel recalls a Virginia whisky test with a critical bite, and Senator Warren returns from West Point sharing centennial jests about young officers. Landis relates a deaf man at Tipton, Teerie hears a tale of lost horses, and Col Wiley condemns train robbers as “ugly-visaged melolchs.”
