No man in public life has changed so
much personally in the same length OF
time - Mir. Blaine. 1t is but a few
years ago since he looked younh and
handsome man. Already he has the
puffy appearance which marked Sum
aer in his last years he has the same
swollen circles over and under his eyes
He has grown stout. His hair has
grown gray. His face and person have
aged at ieast twenty years in ten. His
whole presence tells of battles be has
wnged and not always wcn. His couu-
tenance shows the mental conflict
through which he has passed. Remorse
hurts some; to be found out hurts worse
Thurman looked mnch less muffled
up than usual. as if both mumps and
neuralgia had "swnrn of" from him tor

Stanley Mathews. looking rs aggra-

exhibits il he will astonish people.
Both is dilettante He has handsome
hsnds and wears them gloved. His
cl .th-s tit him too neatly to allow him
to do anything like lifting, but he is of
material that will take off his coat when
he gets interested Both and Ogfesby

c.ude and boorish; he takes pride in it.
He says lllenoy' aud swears in the
presence of such men as Freliughnysen
aud William A. Wheeler. Booth thinks
profanity vulgar. aud has delicate
sense of propriety as Al old maid boar
ing school teacher. But the two men
are inseparxble They walk to the Cap
itol arm.in arm every morning. and ride
home together every night in the same
c,rriage. One will w.,t an hour for
br. AL fast il the other is late. and that
iss I. st mat. imonial attachment won't
