Mot Enough Balt.

A Washington official tells a story of the last fight the late Senator Quay of Pennsylvania made in the senate. Quay was working hard on the statehood bill, obstructing legislation, when a scheme was fixed up to get him away from the senate for a time. Quay was very fond of tarpon fishing and had a winter olace in Florida. One afternoon he received this telegram from a friend who thought the senator might be in better business than pottering about new states: "Fishing nfiver so good. Tarpon biting everywhere. Sport magnificent. Come.” Quay read the telegram and smiled a tiny little smile. Then he answered it thus: "Tarpon may be biting, but I am not M. S. Quay.”—Saturday Evening Post.
