But when they saw the patriotic arrangements of the house, tilers i was hurrying to and fro and gather ing of flags that the house had over looked until the chamber was warm with national colors. But that was not all. The attaches of the house and the senate and all the girls in the state deparements were brought into service in a choir. Meanwhile memlHTS of the senate had been sent out to find the words of the "Star Spangled Banner" and copy them, for on the spur of the moment no body could remember them. That done, the services of A. J. Kisselburg vcr brought into requisition as choir leader. The choir occupied the gallery and sang the stirring song of Dr. Key. and "America." Senator Campbell was so moved that he suggested that a song service be made a part of the regular order. That was not acted upon but it moved Senator Claridge to a burst of eloquence on the flag. The prayer of the chaplain also contained graceful allusion to the national emblem. A resolution by the senate testified to the appreciation by that body, of the attaches who had contributed to the democratic demonstration.
