Ercited Picture Dealers of Paris.

Not Wall street alone was affected by

Paris the picture dealers were thrown into
IS great state of excitement as the bulls

paragraph forthwith appeared in the

the story is that though Morrison sometimes
wears a plug hat here he never carries it
home with him He goes first to St Louis

his old slouch he goes back to his farmer

hands in his pantaloons pockets BE talks to

fat boy. Six feet tail and sbort 900 pounds
in weight, his big, round. boyish head is
pasted down upon a pair Of round, fat, stoop-

dark eyes peeping forth through narrow
Sits of lids, at an almost Chinese angle, and
a broad full forehead fading away into the
fast approaching badness Of a sandy haired
head His little mustache is Of bright red
but it Is short and thin. and though Reed
caresses it frequently it is as hard to curl as

Tom Reed is boy at heart as well as a

it, while he rests his thumbs and fingers on ms
desk. Randall seldom stays in the house when
there is no need of his presence there. and
he Is more often in his committee room than
in his seat
he lives very quietly here at the capital In
a little brick house, with white marble
trimmings, which looks as though it had
been built in Philadelphia years ago and
moved here on wheels He drives about the
city in a Noahs ark of q carriage, and is
strictly democratic in all his ways He has
a farm near Philadelphia where be does
little fancy agriculture during the summer.
and he holds his residence in his district In
Philadelphia by keeping rooms at hotel
there He has pleasant family, and his
daughter. an accomplished girl Of perhaps
is, helps him a great deal in his work.
His chief pride, however, is In his son, a
boy of 10, VINO comes on the floor Of the
house in spectacles, and who looks and acts
much like his father. Little Sam Randall
tries to play the politician already, and last
year he got boy an appointment as page

dresses the house in a voice which sounds
like the grating Of dull saw upon hard
wood board Note him as goes on piling up
proposition after proposition and fact after
fact, showing wonderful knowledge OF all
the details of the government Now he be-
comes a little excited and be changes bis
attitude. He raises his spectacles in his left
hand and swings them around like whiril-
gig, while with his right he thrusts out his
forefinger at the Republican side OF the
house His face grows red with earne stness,
the cords of his thin neck become almost
rigid, and his rough belrd fairly brissles
with the objections he is showering forth,
based upon fact and figure. He is frag-
mentary in his talk, but he gains his point
in nine cases out Of ten He is not teaser,
and be does not object until he has sure
chance of success. He has a wonderful
capacity for details. and be knows to the
cent what the government pays for every
thing and what wages each Of its employees
gets
Another curious speaker Is Pig Iron
Kelley, the great protectiouist There he
sits in the very center Of the Republican
side of the house The Oldest member here,
he has as much vitality as any man IN the
house and though he is now over 8o ne
works as hard as though he were In his hrst
congressional session He keeps his eye
closely upon all political legislation, and he
told me lately that his work during the
present session would largely consist OF
watching the opposition, and by the aid OF
his long experience preventing such legisla-
ton as he thought improper. Pig Iron
Kelley is one Of he tallest men in congress.
He Is fully six feet high, and every inch of
his long, thin anatomy is bone, brain and
muscle. In his seat in congress he Is gem
erally leaning back in his chair with his
hands folded upon his knees. When he
scsaks he stands as straight as Lake
Superior oak. and hurls his thoughts at the
house in a voice so deep that it fills the whole
chamber, but so articulate that his every
syllable is understood As he does 50 be
throws his index finger at the OPP
position and shakes his heavy name
OF iron gray hair. His bright
black eyes dart fire and his tongue almost
flashes at times in its sarcastic utterances

but hroach this and he will deluge you with

A story is told Of his adventure with
young lady at reception last winter. The
girl was a noted society belle who pretended
to more than ordinary learning On being
introduced to Mr.. Kelley she asked him some
question as to free trade and the story Is
that he talked to her two full hours explain.
ing it He backed her up in a corner Of the
room, and she was too polite to show her
yearning for the dance going on in another
parlor by anything save a decidedly bored
look now and then.
Judge Kelley is well read and widely
travelled He likes society and Is fond Of
the theatre. He was a jewelers. apprentice
originally, was educated in a printing Office,
and has had a long political career. He
lives quietly here, dresses in black broal +
cloth, and is Democratic in all his ways
He never writes out a speech, and takes no
notes with him to the house save the docu-
ments to which he intends TO refer by way
of illustration. He lives in Philadelphia,
and has one Of the pleasantest homes there.
He reads but little at night, uses a stenog-
rapher in his correspondence, and goes to
bed early. He has lately dropped the use OF
tobacco entirely after having been addicted
to it for fifty-five years, and he tells me he
has never felt better than he does to-day.

rop.r, of tn. Roman Empire.

The Romans under the empire were ac-
customed to drink the greatest quantities
Of wine at dinner Their theory was that
the more they drank the more they would
be able to eat, and the more they ate the
more they would be able to drink. So
they ate and drank until they became
helpless, and then they were carried to the
baths where they soaked their bodies in
hot water and got ready for the next
meal Some Of these gentlemen used to
be able to drink a gallon of wine at g
draught.-Boston Herald.
