What Is Eane :?

Senators and Representatives are pretty
well known men in Washington, and they
do not need letters of introduction when
they visit the various departments. One OF
the best known of well known men is Sen
ator Henderson, Of Nebraska. He was the
victim Of joke recently which he tells on
himself with great good humor There is
new man at the helm on one OF the impor-
tant bureaus of a downtown department,
who knows not Henderson, nor any other
public men of the day. Henderson called
on him on business, and after stating it, the
official asked him il he were Senator or
member, and what his name was.
MY name is Henderson," said the Sen
ator.
Are you a member of Congressr' in
CURED the official.
''Oh, yes, / am member of Congress-"
what district do you representa-
II am from Nebraska"
what district do you representa-
"Irepresent all Nebraska at present l
an United States Senator, and have been
for number of years. / have recently or
dered some photographs of myself, and /
will go down 10 Bells and order set of
pictures of all the Senators for you, so that
you may study them and become familiar
with them, and not ask too many questions
when they come here on business
Henderson is good story teller, and the
manner in which he describes how he had
TO describe himself, in an executive depart
ment at the National capital, within stones

exceedingly ludicrous illustration OF how

lists at the British yoke was when they be-
held their vessels seized in 1761 and their
trade with the West Indies annihilated by
the enforcement Of what was then known
as the Navigation act. That indignation
was intensified four years later by the pass
ing Of the Stamp act, which involved the
principle of taxation without representa-
ton. For moment the colonists seemed
stunned, but only for moment, for there
were brave men and true, not only to protest,
but, if necessary, to fight against such an
intolerable procedure Foremost among
the staunch and fearless men of that day to
make his voice heard in condemnation OF
such a law was the eminent orator and
Jealous patriot, Patrick Henry, Of Virginia.
He was ably seconded by James Otis, of
Massachusetts, who was the first TO propose
an American Congress to consider what was
best to be done. Although only nine out Of
the thirteen colonies sent delegates to the
meeting, they were brought nearer to-
gether than ever before. The outcome was
the celebrated "Declaration Of Rights"
Mobs and burnings in ef1gy followed in
colony after colony. A conflict between
people and soldiers, known as the ''Boston
massacre" occurred in ITO Two years
later the armed British schooner Gaspee
was cSirtui gu Dy VIC lJcCpACf DlI AlllOuO lS4-
and, and destroyed by fire. In 1913 came
the repeal Of the duties, excepting three
pence pound on tea. 1t was determined
from north TO south to resist the payment of
this tax. At Boston the tea was thrown
into the harbor. 1t was burned at Annapo-
lis. At Charleston it was stored in damp
warehouses and left to spoil, while the con-
signments 10 New York and Philadelphia
were simply returned. To punish what
was characterized as the outrage at Boston
the British Parliament, in 1774, passed the
Boston Port bill, by which the chief town
of New England ceased to be port of en-
try.
This cruel act was submitted TO with
grim endurance by the Bostonians, while
the other colonies showed their sympathy
by going into public mourning.
That the colonies were gradually becom-
ing amalgamated as whole was made man
ifest by conventions being held in ali Of
them, and delegates chosen to attend an
other Congress at Philadelphia, which was
afterwards known as the "0ld Continental
Congress" The Representatives met in
Carpenters Hall, September 8, l774, TO dis
cuss the grievances with which they were
aft cted by the arbitrary policy of the Brit
ish Government, and to devise means for
their redress. The voice Of Patrick Henry
was the first to break the silence of that as
sembly, and his eloquence is asserted to
have astonished every one present. In the
course of his speech he said: British OPP
preston has effaced the boundaries of the
several colonies; the distinctions between
Virginians, Pennsylvanians, New Workers
and New Englanders are no more. l am
not Virginian, but New Highlander"
At this gathering an embryo nation was
formed. A union was accomplished by

There are more portraits Of George Wash
ington-thirty-seven in all-in the exhibition
than have ever before been collected They
form probably the most interesting feature
of the exhibition Some Of them are valu-
able only for their historic associations.
Others, notably the replicas Of Stuarts
well known portraits, are really fine works Of
art. Washington is represented in all atti-
tudes, and some of the pastures, be it said
with all due respect, are Of such palpahle
theatricaity as TO detract considerably from
the impressiveness of the paintings. But in
these cases the fault was of course with the
artists. The well known full length portrait
by Peale, for instance, is rather too much
like heroic tableau TO be very seriously
considered in these days.
1t represents Washington at the battle Of
Princeton, and for some inscrutable reason
that has probably never been fathomed the
death Of Gen Mercer, with surgeon bend
ing over him, is brought into the picture
Washington has an uplifted sword In his
right hand, but insomuch that he does not
appear to be directing any one or pointing
anywhere with it, this accessory would seem
to be entirely superfluous. The most striking
feature Of the portrait, however, is that, al
though battle is being furiously waged in
