German Emperor wrote = few days ago,
to the son standing by his bedside upon
whose head, at his death the crown OF
the German empire will rest. They are
pathetic words, they are strong words.
One does not need to be an Emperor 10

more striking example of fortitude when
one toward whom the ewes of the world
are turned. thus meets his fate heroic

to command everything save life, for
which he would gladly yield his honors.

He is struck down in the prime OF his

brief reign will count for nothing in

lectual Body OF Representatives at the
National CapitaI-Men who Have Made
Themselves Valuable Citizens.
Especial Washington Correspondence
The people of Wisconsin have not only a
good-looking set Of representatives in Con-
eress but they are practical hard-headed
GROUP of men. To run over the list and
think of their beginning makes this fact
plain. Senator Sawyer when seventeen
years old bought his time, leased sawmill
and began making his large fortune. Sena-
tor Spooner's father drove overland from
Indiana to Wisconsin taking his future
Senator with him when he was small boy.
Congressman La Toilette, the only native Of
Wisconsin in the delegation was born in a
log house in his district. Congressman
Stephenson has been a lumberman all his
life. Congressman Guenther is druggist.
Clark, of the NeenahMenasha district, is q
paper-maker. Henry Smith, the Milwaukee
member, is a millwright, contractor and
builder. Haugen, the Scandinavian Con-
gresham, is a stenographer when at home.
Tom Hudd, the only Democrat from the
Badger State used TO be printer before he
became lawyer.
The Nestof OF the Wisconsin group Of
Senators and members is PhiIetus Sawyer,
who is the senior Senator and has served
more years in Congress than any of his col
leagues. He is a hearty, hale old gentleman
Of seventy-one. He would make a good
Santa Claus without need of disguise. His
snow-white hair forms ohevau1 de pisa
about large rotund head that many years
ago .'went BALD as the Senator says His
beard also, is white, and the general
effect Of fine rosy complexion sur
rounded by driven white is quite patris
archal. Mr.. Sawyer's home is in Osh-
kosh, where he has pleasant capacious
mansion with whole block laid out in
grounds. What the Senator's wealth is, no
body, not even himself, knows. He is COM
monty supposed to be worth over three mil
lions Last summer he bought little
matter of $4,000 acres of timber land in
Wisconsin. He was born in Vermont and
