Keyes, Matthew Carpenter, a feather from the eagle "Old Abe," picked up by Keyes on the Capitol grounds from underneath the bird's perch. The motto framed and hanging above the fireplace reads: "I expect to pass through this world but once. Any good thing, therefore, that I can do, or any kindness I can show to any fellow human being, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again."
