reputation had preceded him, and he
was bantered and almost forced into
fighting by some Of the men In tho mines
who coveted the glory of thrashing him.
He took their taunts patiently, however,
and it soon became well understood that
he was in earnest about his refusals.
One man, however, the bully Of the
mines, determined to force him to an en-
counter, and insulted him In every way
he could think Of to arouse his anger.
1t was all in vain until one evening tho
young husband came home to find his
wife turning tho bully away from her
door, and overheard the rufian making
O most brutal and vile remark to her.
Then he broke his promise. A fight
was quickly arranged, and tho husband
said before entering tho ring that he
would die there rather than let his in
sulter 60 unpunished. As It proved, he
did not die there, but the other man did.
The husband was tried for murder, Pay

When Mr.. Payson had been q Judge
for some time he was called upon by the
Republicans of tho state to accept other
political positions, and it is said to DO
true that he was very reluctant TO do SO,
and that he was really forced to take the
nomination for the place of state senator.
He took it, however, and was elected and
afterward sent TO congress. In his first
term in congress he was put upon tho
judiciary committee, compliment

planned to me that tho most approved

chain was attached firmly between tho
finger and thumb, and then, with sharp
twist, snap the steel pivot connecting
watch and ring, leaving the watch FREQ

States senate. His election was for six
years, of course, and, as after the war
tho Democrats regained the control Of
Missouri, Senator Henderson was in
power against tho will Of the majority
of his own constituents. AS a matter Of
course he served only single tern, but
during that term he enjoyed q very con-
siderable degree of influence with the
administration at Washington by reason
of his being southern senator, and was
able to secure great many very import
ant appointments.
After that time ex-senator Hender-
sons position, though he was strong in
party councils, has been practically
among the "outs," he not having suf1i-
ciently strong following in his own state
to carry it. In 1879 there was chance,
or seemed to be one, that he might come
prominently to the front, for his nomi-
nation to the vice presidency was strongly
urged by certain contingency who be-
lieved that with him for leader it
would be possible for the Republicans to
save Missouri and Kansas. A powerful
pressure was brought to bear in his
favor in the convention, but it was not
sufficient TO counterbalance the claims Of
Massachusetts,, and Henry Wilson was
declared the nominee.
Even after that, though in tho same
campaign, there was some talk OF push
ing Henderson to the front. The revolt
from the Republican party, headed by
Greeley, developed more apparent
strength early in the campaign than it
showed at the polls, and after Gratz
Brown had been nominated by the Lib
eral Republicans and indorsed by the
Democrats, he was regarded as especially
dangerous in the two stateSin which
Henderson's strength lay. 1t was there
fore proposed, and the proposition was
gravely considered, to withdraw Wilson
and substitute Henderson as the Republi,
can candidate for second place. AS is, or
course, well known, other counsels pro-
vailed, and Wilson got the place.

How to Put ON Gloxea.

A great deal depends on the first put
ting on Of gloves. Have tho hands per-
fectly clean, dry and cool and never put
on new gloves while the hands are warm
or damp. Where person Is troubled
with moist hands it Is well to powder
them before trying on the gloves; but in
most cases, II the hands are dry and cool,
this Is not needed. First work on tho
fingers, keeping the thumb outside of tho
glove, and the wrist of the glove turned
back. When the fingers are In smoothly
put in the thumb and work the glove on
very carefully, then placing the elbow
on the knee, work on the hand. When
this is done smooth down the wrist and
button the second button first, then the
third, and so on 10 the end. Then smooth
down the whole glove and fasten the
first button. Fastening the first button
last when putting on glove for the first
time makcs a good deal Of difference In
the fit, although 1t may seem but a very
little thing. 1t does not strain the part
Of glove that is the easiest TO the strain
at first, and prevents the enlarging Of
the button hole, either Of which Is sure
TO take place if you begin at the first but
ton to fasten the glove. When removing
gloves never begin at the tips Of the
fingers to pull them OF, but turn back

1t IL Expected Ho Will he Prominent In

John b. Henderson's prominence in
the Republican party dates fully thirty
years back, he having been ono of the
very few Republicans of any appreciable
influence in the state of Missouri before
the civil war. At that time, when the
state was one of tho strongest of tho
strongholds of the Democratic party,
Gratz Brown, John B. Henderson and Carl
Shurz were the recognized leaders of tho
small minority which represented the
Republican party there. So far as po-
litical position went, however, this promi.
nence was before the war an idle distinc-
tion, and there seemed no possible pros
pect of the minority ever succeeding to
power.
The chance came, however, in a some-
what curious manner. Missouri being q

FLOWERS FOR HER FATHER.
soonest gallery is the one provided for the
newspaper men. They have gilded desks
and chairs, every convenience for writing,
and as their gallery is directly above the
speakers desk they have full view Of
the whole proceedings, and can look into
the faces of the legislators and sketch
them with the greatest of comfort.
"The house will be in order."
The speaker is obliged to repeat the
order several times, threaten, implore,
beseech the house to come to order. 1t
seems as though the members will never
become quiet. At last the hum of story
telling and greeting ceases, every one
not q member is obliged to leave the
floor, including the wives and daughters
OF the members themselves, the prayer
Is recited amid deep silence by the white
haired chaplain, the roll is called, the
speaker makes neat little address and
the transaction Of regular business is de-
clared in order. Then the noise begins
again, louder than before, and the
speakers ivory gavel falls again and
again on his desk for silence without any
effect whatever. 1t is always thus in the
house, especially during the first few days
OF session. After while, however,
thenovelty of the thing wears off and tho
members, tired Of talking, complacently
settle back In their chairs, put their feet
On their desks, light their cigars and
watch the curling rings Of smoke ascend
slowly upward and-think. Yes, it NAV
be said that they do sometimes think.
They are occasionally reused from their
reveries by the fearless page boys with
autograph albums, seeking the names
of all the members. These bright little
fellows, with fresh, rosy faces and knick-
erbockers, make good thing out of
this autograph scheme, They sell the
albums for fancy prices to collectors
when they are filed. The congressman
dare not refuse the boys anything; the
boys know too much, possess too deli
cate information about certain little
notes, suppers, etc.
When not pressed with work congress
usually adjouns about o'clock. Then
the crowd commences to clear out. and
the galleries are deserted. But YOU will
see men and women leaving the build
ing until darkness creeps apace. Then
the Capitol is quiet, ghostly. A few dim
lights here and there in the corridors,
but the rest shrouded in darkness. Ifthe
wind happens to slam one of the doors
or rattle the windows at one end of the
immense building the echo will gloomily
resound at the other end, more than an
eighth Of a mile away. With the first
gray streaks Of morning the bronze doors
are swung open--and the national grind
noes merrily on.

ISAIAH v. WILLIAMSON.
HIS Noble Plan for the Education Of xou


Men.
Parsimony has become cnnobled in the
person Of Mr. Isaiah v. Williamson, who
has given q, ,OOO. 900, with the promise Of
G,0O0,0O0 more, to found q training
school i'm Philadelphia. Mr.. Williamson
for many years seems to have lived
only to make and to save money; but
now, an octogenarian, he places his ac-
cumulations In the hands Of trustees for
Q great and noble purpose. Within
few years the click Of the hammer and
the clatter of machinery will be heard
within the walls of great buildings, from
which hundreds or thousands Of BOYS
will emerge to make an honorable living.
Mr.. Williamson was born In Bucks
county. near Philadelphia in 1903. He
began his business career rs clerk in
country store, but soon went to the city
to seek his fortune. He started in q
small dry goods business and developed
such talent for trade that by the timo
he was 30 he had amassed q fortune OF
5000, 200. 1t Is almost impossible in these
days Of colossal fortunes TO understand
the relative value Of 5000, 900 in 1888.
Any man In America at that time who
would have desired more would have
been regarded as an unreasonable being.
MIR. Williamson concluded that he had
acquired sufficient means to keep him
for the rest of his life, went out OF busi-
ness and started out to see the world.
For two years he travelled in Europe as
man of fortune and lived a gay life.
Suddenly he made complete change
of front. He cut his gay friends, sold
his luxurious effects and began lonely,
penurious life, which he has not changed
in fifty years. A close, shrewd man,
everything that he touched seemed to
