EX-Minister to Brazil Osborne has been
interviewed by the New York Press. This
happens every time Osborne goes TO New
York. There must be some Kansas ''fel-
ler'' on the Press.

like the tone of the manifesto issued by the

Ellen Allerton the walls of Corn"
poetess, has written another, Fields of
Corn" Ellen seems to enjoy monopoly
of corn poetry" In this last effort she

which in his orations against him ne
dwelt upon the longest was his habit of
polluting the youth. 1t was on account

Senator Plumb, since his dramatic en-
with Call of Florida is becom-
ing something of a fighter himself He
told old Father Edmunds the other day

Senator ingalls, is said to be the worst
looking individual in Washington when he
gets into his summer outfit, Washington
claims. He wears a drab
linen ulster that is closely buttoned and
fits like a shirt hung on pole. He also |
wears a straw hat with a breadth of brim |
that is more picturesque than beautiful. |
This is his out-of-door dress. AS he pre-
sides in the senate the most of the time /
now, he does not appear in the chamber in .
neglige garments. His summer suit is of .
light slate-colored goods, the coat Prince |
Albert, which is always buttoned closely. |
Senator Plumb wears a flannel shirt and |
leaves off his vest. He has not yet put on .
a sash, but keeps his suspenders on. He /
seems to have use for them, for when he /
gets earnest in debate he puts his thumbs
under them and it seems to rest him.
he gives them a stretch and .
lets them go slack, with the
usual crack that is heard when anybody
loes that.
