CHAUFFEUR WAS JOY RIDING
Congressman Tayler Makes an Important Discovery While Walting for a Street Car. Representative Ned Tayler of Ohio, battle scarred and worn from the recent strife in the Buckeye state, found it necessary the other afternoon to make a hurried trip to the department of commerce and labor from his room, in the house office building. His machine and chauffeur were not to be found, so he leaned languidly against the coping outside the capltol grounds and waited tor a Pennsylvania avenue street car. Just as the green carriage of the hoi pollol rolled Into view, he sighted his machine crossing the capltol plaza, a very summery summer girl proudly seated beside the chauffeur. The fair passenger was dropped at one corner, and waited while the chauffeur rolled around to his usual stand beside the office building. “Say,” exclaimed the M. C., “that’s my machine, and that’s my chauffeur. Find the man that’s giving the party. He thinks he’s going to report to me and then take his girl for another ride, but I’ll fool him. Jake” —this to his secretary—“you run over and tell him to come over here. We’ll go downtown in the machine after all. No wonder that man was fired from the police force.”
