cube of soap of chocolate color Il was
given to Garland as candy by one of his fel-
low senator's who was chewing away on
genuine taramels Garland took it and
popped it in his mouth OF course he knew
the difference as soon as the soap touched his
tongue, hut his rough face changed not In a
single feature, and the only difference in his
appearance that could be noticed was a sort
of a hard glitter of the eye and n bubb'e or
two of froth at the mouth, as he went on to

a shirt that buttons i'll front, with sewed-
on wristbands instead of attachable cuffs
His hair is generally disheveled and his
spectacles, while at work, fall down to the
middle of his nose. A hair watch chain and
a big seal ring are his only jewelry He is
great fisher and hunter, and he has country
home in the west, eighteen miles from Little
Rock, which he calls Hominy Hill He has

ally and drives out to his country seat nearly
every day He walks to and from the de-
partment, and don't think he lets his busi-

shows more sense than some of his older
brothers.

He walks great deal also and has an elastic
step He leans slightly forward as he walks,
and, dressed in business clothes with cam,
under his arm, he might be taken for an az
complished man about town instead of a
great statesman. Bayard understands enough
about Washington wining and dining not to
let his stomach run away with him. He has
made a study of gastronomy, and there are
some dishes that he can cook himself better
than any French chef in Washington His
family troubles have affected him Quit

dramatic, however. When he lifts his arms
in apostrophe or prayer, that stretch of bare
wrists has its proper dramatic effect He is
