committee on agriculture, has plenty to do
since the farmer has become such politi-

mental and useful Senator Hoar is one
OF the hardest committee workers of the
Senate. He is the schoolmaster of the
body, and criticizes his brothers language
upon many occasions. He never uses a
singular for plural and he would die
rather than say them things or 81 done
it,, as some of the men who sit near him

Senator Evarts is chairman on the com
m1ttee on library. He is not doing much
