A Dinner At Solon Chase's

D. A. Boyle of Bed-ir? tells the folïowing: "I remember ooce when Senators Frye, Hale, John D. Long of Massaehusptts, De ki ma ter of Illinois and several otlsers were at Turner flshing aud called on UucleSolonCha.se. Hale, by the wny, used to go to school to Cbase somewhere in that neigbborhood, and Long. I think, was boru down there. Wei!, they all happen ad to caJl on Chase that day, and he invited them to his house for dinner. He had a housebeeper whom we all called the hired girl. Sh9 was a strange old sonl and subject to 'tantrums, ' Chase called them. "Ofcourse she managed to have a 'tantrum' on this particnlar day, and when Chase got his corupany down to the house tho girl refused toget dinner, and the only things eatable ia the house were baked beans and blneberries. Bnt tbat didu't bother Solon very long. We set the blueberries and the beans on the table, and then Chase made a little speech of welcome, winding up by saying, 'Gentlemen, I guess what's good enough for me is good enough for yon. Let'seat. ' ïhey did eat and had fnn enough over that meal to mako it digest well, you bet !"
