The New Senator.

Spooner, the new Republican Sena,
tor from Wisconsin, is considerably
below medium stature-in fact, rather
q teaspooner in size. Although there
does not seem TIC be anything the mat
ter with his brain, his physical appear
ance does not impress a stranger with
a sense of greatness. Naturally he Is
a little sensitive on this point. The
other day while sitting in a newspaper
office here he was introduced to 9
gentleman as Colonel Spooner, oil
Wisconsin"
"Ahl glad to know you. Are you q
relative Of the new Senator of thai
namep''
The mutual friend FASTENED to explain
that the Colonel and the Senator were
identical. The gentleman looked al
Spooner in a half-incredulous sort Of
way, as if sizing him up and judging
him by the standard of a tape line.
He at the same time begged his pardon
in a tone that poorly concealed his
surprise. The newly hedged statesman
could stand it no longer, and exclaim-
ed with some petulance:
Great Scott! do you suppose a mar
has got to be seventeen feet high in
order to be a United States SENATOR"
