nine, while Mr.. Tllman, in whose life there
is an unpublished romance, Is the patri-
archal leader from South Carolina. One of
the most able delegations is that from
Georgia, led by Judge Crisp, English born,
but now a thorough American, a born
leader and great constitutional lawyer.
Other strong men from Georgia are Blount,
who stands like a stone wall against every
form OF extravagance; Judge Turner, quiet
but deep, and Barnes, the largest man in
the houseiand one of the ablest. i -
Alabama, too, sends notable men. Gen.
Oates, the one armed fighter, fearless in
battle or debate, and courageous in advoca-
cy of his principles, in or out of his party,
is the acknowledged leader. After him
come Herbert, Cobb and Wheeler, who
stand high in the estimate of their asso-
ciates of both parties. Mississippi has but
n striking figure, polite, eloquent, one
armed Gen. Hooker. MI. Blanchard is
leader Of the Louisiana contingent, while
in Tennessee q man of first rate ability and
great force is Benton McMillin, of the
ways and means. r
One of the leaders Of the Democratic
hosts is dean of the Texas corps-dogged,
masterful, answering Roger @. Mills.
Judge Culberson, his colleague, is said to be
the greatest constitutional lawyer in the
house. Arkansas sends two or three strong
men-notably Breckenridge, Of ways and
means, who is an authority on tariff .ques-
tons, and Rogers, a eloquent and much
feared debater. Leader of the Missourians
is MI. Hatch-'Bin" Hatch, he is com
monty calleda giant in stature and in in
tellect, a stalwart in committee and on the
floor, "a debater whom none care to measure
swords with in aweak cause. Conspicuous
in this delegation is Mr.. Bland, whose name

Anna, Hannah and probably Nancy are
from the same source and signify kind
or gracious" Ellen was originally Helen,
the Latin being Helena and the French
Helene-the meaning being, according to
some, "slluring," and according to others

Olive rhorne ,1,1ler.s Pet Monkey.

Unlike the common marmoset, which
destroys everything it touches, he is natu-
rally gentle A white moth which was
once given him to eat he took in his dainty
fingers, examined it closely on all sides
and then let it go without hurting it IN the
least.
Sleepy time comes as early as o'clock,
and he requires no cOaxing to go to bed.
Of he starts on gallop, but on reaching
his box he pGuses, stands upright, raises
the blanket cover with one little hard,
leans over and peers in, with comical air
of looking under the bed for burglar
Finding things all right he glances around
the room to see that all Is safe there, then
dives under the blanket, resting his feet
ior hinder hands on the edge Of the box a
moment, while his long tail curls itself up
from the tip like a watch spring ami
passes in under the body. when he instant
II drops under the cover. OFTEN as we have
seen this performance it never ceases to be
extremely funny.
Once inside his bed with his cherished
tail he sits down with this member stand
ing up before him on edge, like a wheel,
thrusts his head down between his knees
beside 1t, and thus arranged in compact
bundle, almost as round as . ball, he
sleeps, the top Of his head on the floor and
his nose buried in his fur. How be can
breathe is problem. Soon afser he Is in
bed We hear the most tender, sweet and
6irdlike calls and cries, which are really
touching, for they seem like Lamentations
for his mates or dreams of hcme.-OETs

then sit around theuoffice for few hours.
No need of spending money foohshly."
The guest changed his linen in the wash
room and then began to clean his silk hat
and coat with little rag and bottle of ben
zine
The eccentric person was John L Blair,
Of New Jersey, whose wealth is estimated
at fabulous amounts. He is rated to be
worth from $4,000 900 TO Sl0o, ,000, 900, yet
he was seated in porter's chair in the Pa
cifc scrubbing his old hat as if he could
never get another. While Mr.. Blair spends
little money on himself he is quite gener-
Ous to Others, and many kind deeds Of
charity are credited to his worldly account.
He is a remarkable man, for though IS
years old he presents the appearance of one
at co. and accomplishes twice as much as
most young men.
His business career was begun so long
ago that the present generation does not
know him we'll He built the greater por-
ton of the Lackawanna road, investing his
own money and keeping every dollar of his
securities. When Scranton was wilderness
he bought land in and around the place,
and saw it grow from nothing to city OF
100, 900 people. Mr.. Blair built and now
owns half the roads in Iowa. The town OF
Blairsville, n. j., is owned by him. OF
late years he has made an immense amount
of money in the west. He would lay out
the route Of a new road, mark the town
sites along the line and buy up all the good
land before the public knew OF the line of
the road. When the towns sprung up Mr..
Blair had all the lots for sale.-Chicago

Confronted by a Memory.

Apropos of the movement to furnish
books to the prisoners in Auburn jail, a
Norwegian lady residing in Auburn told
in her picturesque way an episode which
occurred in Charleston, S. G. Years ago a
mother took her 5-year-old boy into prison
when she went tosee his father, committed
for some trihing offence. The little fellow
stepped into the, adj djacent cell, having over
it the number 6S. To tease him the warden
shut the door, but quickly opened it at the
little fellows screams. His mother soothed
him, saying: Nobody shan't ever shut my
little boy in a dark cell" Years passed.
The boys father and mother died His
uncle helped him and gave him money to
get to New York He fell in with bad
company, squandered his money, and in
sheer desperation attempted to commit
burglary in his uncle's house
That relative was so enraged he handed
over his nephew to the authorities. Look
ing at the number of his cell, to his horror
he saw "6S, ," and knew that it was the self
same cell that had inspired his boyiSh ter
ror Then his mothers words came back,
Nobody shan't ever shut my little boy in
a dark cell" F." and he wept as he had not
since her death, for he had loved that
mother The warden'5 wife found him in
a melted condition. He told her his story,
and she gave him the utmost sympathy
and kindness during his long term, short
ened by his good behavior. AS he left the
cell and took a last look at those terrible
numbers '68' he determined he would
make a man of whom his mother should
be proud. BY his trade, learned in prison, he
pursued an honest and lucrative business,
and his taste for literature, also formed by
the warden, provided for leisure hours.
Ten years afterward he called on the war
den's wife, and she could hardly believe
that it was he who had occupied "6S. y

MRS. HARRISON SATISFIED.

CAPE MAY POINT, n. J., July 3.-Mrs.
Harrison was asked this evening about the
report from New York that she was going
to give up her summer home here and
spend the summer elsewhere. Mrs. Har-
Iison positively denied that she had any
such intentions, and said that there was
not the slightest foundation upon which
to base such a story. Mrs. Harrison also
reiterated her former expressions in regard
to her thorough liking for the place, par
ticularly so now that she was occupying
her own home with the family with her
Mrs. Harrison also said that she could not
understand how such a rumor started, as
she always expressed a great liking for a
quiet life, as she found it here.
PITTsBURG, PA, July "A morning pa
per published a story today to the effect
that Mrs. Harrison was dissatisfied with
her cottage at Cape May Point and that
the president and party would shortly
leave there for the famous Allegheny
mountain resort, Cresson Springs. The
paper states that the cottage of Mrs. David
a. Park, widow of the well known steel
manufacturer of Pittsburg, was offered
and accepted by Mrs. Harrison. They are
expected the latter part Of the month and
will remain about six weeks. The Park
cottage is one of the handsomest and best
equipped at CressOn.

cept that he had singular taste in his
mouth. The next day he explained to his
wife as follows:

MP GAME DEFEATED.

LONDON, July 4-The parliamentary
election at Barrow-in-Furness Wednesday
the outcome of which has been looked for
ward to with much interest and consider
able anxiety by all parties, resulted in a
victory for the Gladstonian candidates.
The vacancy was caused by the resigna-
ton of Ma w S. Caine, LiberalU Mon
1st who wished to test the feeling OF his
constituency regarding the licensing or
the local taxation bill relating to the COM
pensation of publicans, and who resigned
just before the the clauses referred to were
dropped by the government. The returns
place Mr.. Caine at the bottom of poll. The
vote was as follows: Mr.. Duncan Glad
stonian, 1894: Mr.. Wainwright, Conserva-
tive, 1852; Mr. Caine, 1,2S0. In 1886 Mr..
Caine was elected for Barrow-in-t t'urness
by vote of 1922, against ,683 for Mr..
Ainsworth, the Home Rule candidate.
LONDON, July 4.-The Times says that
Mr.. Caine, beside his personal blunder, di-
vlded the Unionist forces and allowed
separatist to win.
The Standard, in a similar argument,
says: Better a separatist than waver-
ing Unionist 1t will De lesson to other
UnIonists, contemplating prostration be-
fore the Gladstone fetish. The anomaly

Ware, of Fort Scott, in private letter to
Colonel ii. NJ Green, prominent Repub-
lican of Douglas county, announces that
he will be candidate for congress in the
Second district against Hon. +. II. Fun

considered here the strongest man in the
district, and viii have little difficulty in
securing the Douglas county delegation in
the convention, which meets August 5.
Early in the campaign Ware refused to

about evenly divided between Funston
and Ware. So far there are three candi-
dates in the field, Funston, Ware and r.
c. Johnson, of Garnett. The Republicans
of the north end of the district will not
present a candidate, as they expect to be
