California, whose check is good for s., 900,

those of a government clerk. Charlie Baker,
OF New York, weighs over 200 pounds and
Sunset Cox would be lost in his double
breasted black coat.
Carlisle dresses in black. His clothes
hang on his lean frame like those of scare
crow, and both he and Randall dress as though

putting this in the lapel of his coat.
Taulbee, of Kentucky, looks far differ
ent in Congress than when in his district in
the mountains of Charles Egbert Craddocz.
He here dresses well, but at home he puts
h. e ba wild
and changes his kid shoes for brogans. He
makes capital with his constituents by boast
ing that he is one of them, and it is said that

points to his horny feet as being those of a
plowman.

n regularity of the Congressman who look
sober that they are, as a rule, the liveliest
men in the House. Martin, of Texas, re-
minds me of an Italian brigand, and his
hair falls down to his shoulders. He likes
lots of air, and his vest is usually unbuttoned
at the front 1t shows laundried front,
and it proves the story that he may wear
dickey to be false
