Ah, crap! My bad. It was late at night after a long day. Moreover, the
tiny axis tic labels did not help either.

Thanks for pointing that out.

This worked:
gnuplot> plot [0:] [-1:] "hist.dat" usi 1:2:(0.7) w boxes fs solid 0.9

BTW, the last bar is 40 units high and currently it is filling the whole
height of the plot, overlapping the legend in the top right corner. This
is the default behavior? Shouldn't the y-axis be bit longer, say 50
units, to display the legend properly? Just curious.
