at DEVILS Lake when the State of North
Dakota was admitted, and he became its
first Congressman. Both Dubois and Hans
brough were born in Illinois Hansbrough's
parents were poor and he got his education
in the printing Office, He published daily
at San Jose and worked for time on the
San Francisc, Chronicle. He is straight,
clean cut, rosy checked young man with
red mustache, which looks for all the world
like that of Dan Lamont. He still owns
his paper at DEVILS Lake, and varies his
Congressional work by writing editorials
for it.
Dubois is q younger man than Hans
brough. His parents were well to do, and
he went to school at Yale and was there
noted as an athlete as we'll as a student
For four years he was the catcher of the
baseball nine of his class. In Idaho he put
his muscle into politics, and during his first
Congressional campaign he spoke in every
settlement in Idaho, travelling over its
$4,000 square miles of mountainous terri
tory on mules and in stage coaches, and

SHOWING A GUEST OUT,
A Little Bit OF Tact VIII Leave q Most
Agreeable Impression


Agreeable Impression
WRITTEN FOE TIE DIsPATcHt
Can there be perfect way in such an
ordinary performance as showing q guest
out? Certainly there is. 1t is the way the
American servant knoweth not She goes
to the door with an indecent haste that
smacks of glee. She doesn't even open it,
she only sets it ajar with nice calculation
of space that gives just the crack you can
slip out through, no more. And she even
grudges you that. You have shamed
sense of being thrust out into the world;
and before you have gathered up your self
respect and your skirts, while your heel is
still upon the door-sill, the snap of the
knob Is heard behind you. Lucky you are
if you don't hear the sound of the bolt in
the socket, as if you were tramp or
book agent.
The English maid knows how to make this
act beautiful There is an exquisite air of
Difference and respect, as she opens the
door, even a touch of regret in her manner
that she should be opening the door for
your departure, instead of for your er-
trance. And then comes the gentlest tact
of all. You never hear an English house
maid close the door behind you. She holds
it open until you have descended the steps,
at least; perhaps until you are quite upon
the street, and she closes it SO softly that
the click of the latch never comes to your
ear You are inexpressibly soothed and
fattered, and you step off feeling that the
gracious tact of the mistress is most charm
ing where 1t has revealed itself IN the in
struction that has taught the maid to be
gracious.

said he, "alwavs over-estimate the wealth
of public man. L never made money so
fast in my life as since I came to Congress.
Ny actual wealth has not increased, but the
newspapers have made me out manv
millions richer than 1 am" Senator FELTON,
is now nearly so, noted for his good fellow
ship, and can make speech.
Next to FELTON, the richest man of the
new members is probably Cal Brice, who
represents Ohio, but lives in New York.
Brice's fortune, however, is speculating
one and he is engaged in so many things
that he does not know hImslf Just how rich
he is. I knew him when he was worth
S1OO, 900 less than nothing and this was only
about ten years ago. Brice does not look a
day older now than he did ten years ago.
He is in his forties and is full of energy.

His handsome face bears scars he received.
He was wounded five times at the battle of
Sharpsburg and the fifth ball entered his
cheek and laid him low on the field.
General John NJ. Palmer is the oldest of
the new members, and with the exception
of Morrill, he will probably be the oldest
man in the Senate. He is especially strong
among the farmers. and he is Presidential
possibility in that he could carry as large a
farming vote as any man in his party. He
is big man physically and every other
way.
The Two Alliance Senators.
The two Simon-pure Alliance Senators
are, however, Senator PETER, of Kansas,
and Senator Kyle, of South Dakota. Both
being constitutional kickers They have
run their campaigns on the begging basis
and have made votes by pleading poverty
and mortgages. Kyle came into Dakota
some years ago as a Congregational preacher.
He started a church ut Aberdeen, and his
enemies say that in the articles of incorpora-
tion, or in the constitution of the church, he
lets out three very important matters. One
OF these was AS to the Existence of a God,
second was as to the Existence of the Trim
ity, and the third as to the belief in a Future
State. These, the story goes were left out
merely through carelessness on Senator
kyles part, but one of the old elders recti-
lied the matter and they got in.
Kyle did nothing politically until this
Farmers Alliance movement came uD and
then he jumped into the fray on the side OF
the farmers and advocated their theories.
He had no idea of being Senator and had de-
cided to leave the DakOtas and move to Bos-
ton His household goods were packed and
at the depot when he found that he had
been chosen to the biggest office in the gift
OF his State, that he had the right to be
called Senator Kyle and that his wages for
six years to come would be nearly $1G0 a
week. He thereupon decided to stay. Mr..
Kyle is tall, thin and angular IN appearance.
He is 20 years younger than PETER and he
has no whiskers at all. Senator PETER Drtdes
himself on his whiskers. Like Samson, his
muscle hi $ gone into his hair and the rest of
his body is tall and thin in consequence. He
has the students stoop, and as ingalls, says,
he talks with a perpetual cough. Neither he
nor Kyle are dangerous, and they are men OF
peace rather than of war.
Had Men From the south.
The two fighters among the new Senators
come from the far South and they are more
or less allied to the Alliance party. Jerry
Simpson says that Irby, of South Carolina,
is renegade and that he has gone back on
the Alliance and become a Democrat. The
party are counting on his vote
and, whether Democrat or not, he prom

pincu.hion and most of the new Senators
are under 50. Many of them are poor,
many of them have strange histories and
altogether they form a most interesting
set of Congressional curiosities Some
of the brightest of the young men come
from the West and two of these are so
young that they are hardly out of their
short clothes. Dubois, of Idaho, and Hans
brough, Of Dakota, are
The Babies Of the Senate.
It is all Dubois can do to raise mustache
and Hansbrough does not look to be over
so. Still both Of them have been in the
House, and Hansbrough was editing paper

Il was the habit of the doctor and the Ad-
miral to accompany each other upon a
morning ramble between breakfast and
lunch. The Gwellers in those quiet tree
lined roads were accustomed to see the two
figures, the long, thin, austere seaman, and
the short, bustling, tweed-clad physician,
pass and repass with such regularity that a
stopped clock has been reset by them. The
Admiral took two steps to his companion's

Senators From the Gulf States.

The Gulf of Mexico furnishes two new
men to the Senate. These are White, of
Louisiana, who takes the seat Of the rich
and phlegmatic Eustis, and Davidson, of
Florida, who hopes to hold from now on the
position which the choleric Call has kept
for the past y years. Senator White prom
ises to make more of noise than did Eustis.
He is a Louisiana lawyer and is noted for his
vitality and nervous energy. He is feet
tall, has robust frame and his hair and
complexion are blonde. He is well edu-

ises to cut something of figure here. He
. has the reputation of being a fighter in
South Carolina and it is said that he was at
several times ready to engage in duels there
and that he went around with his pistol in
his pocket and fire in his eyes. He had one
or two shooting scrapes and after one left
the State for time. 1t is certain that he is
no coward.
Senator Chiffon, of Texas comes from the
State OF bold, bad men. He is straight,
fine looking fellow and wears when at home
great sor,brero and during a part of his
career has carried a revolver on his hip. He
is much stronger man than the average
and starting life with nothing he has made q
reputation ass lawyer and q speaker. He is
appointed to the Senate by his old friend,
Governor Hogg. A curious appointment
was that of Senator Gibson, of Maryland,
the details of which have already appeared
in The DISPATCH.

TO CUT LIVES APART.
LALOO, THE HINDo MONSTROS.
ITY, UNDER SURGEONS.
If the Operation Can BE Successful the
Boys Headless Sister Will BE knitted
Away from His Breast.
PHILADELPHIA Record.

This afternoons clinic at the University
of Pennsylvania hospital will be memora-
bic one in its history. The subject of the
clinic is to be Laloo Ranprasad Bhikaree,
the most notable freak ever yet come to
public gaze, and as result Of it the sur
geon'S knife may be put to most novel use.
Laloo is a native, or rather a native-and-
a-half Of Hindostfn, where he-or-she was
born twenty years ago in the otherwise
celebrated village of Oovon, Oudh. Laloo
was born a twin, but unfortunately for him,
his twin sister had grown from his breast
bone. More correctly, she had attached
herself to him at that part of his anatomy
and seemed to have plunged head-frst into
her brothers body, for dangling from his
chest was only baby girls body and four
limbs. The isthmus of neck poked right
into the brothers frame, and there evil
IDENTIFY ended the sister. Not even the
crudest symptoms or suggestion of cram
ium could be discovered. The little head
less sisters arms were clasped tightly
around her brothers. neck, as if anxious
not TO lose the only head between them.
Her body was provided with fetal heart
and a pulse, and performed all its proper
functions itself.
A STRANGE PAIR.
Twenty years have down over their
heads, o rather head, and to-day Laloo is
tall, handsome, well-proportioned young
man, healthy and Intelligent, and his alb
normally decapitated sister is living hui
man body nearly half his size, fed by his
mouth and living upon his tissue. Laloo
can still swing her arms up and put them al
most around his neck, as old. Physical
sensations of heat and of cold and nervous
experiences are common to both, but many
of the most important vital functions are as
serted to be separate. Though with no in
telligence seemingly of her own, the head
less sister can twitch and squirm, and
when Laloo's brain conceives the idea of
having the little one move there is no con-
Meeting nerve to telegraph the injunction.
and Laloo must perforce lift the limbs with
his own hands.
THE hNIFE MAY BE CALLED IN.
Laloo came to this country in the hope of
finding skillful surgeon who could cut
away from him his half sister, so to speak.
The object Of the clinic at the University
hospital, at o'clock this afternoon, is to
get consensus of opinion on the feasibility
of such an operation from Provost William
Pepper and his faculty. Perhaps, should
their views turn out 10 be emphaticslly in
favor Of such an operation, Philadelphia

When Zebulon n Pike was in New
Mexico in 1907 he met at Santa Fe a car
penter, Pursley by name, from Bardstown,
KY, who was working at his trade there
because he could not well get away. He
had. in 1902, while out on the plains hunt
ing met with a series of misfortunes, and
found himself, in 1904 or 1905, with hunt
ing party near the mountains. The hostile
Sioux of the plains drove them into the
high ground in the rear of Pixies peak.
Near the headwaters of La Platte river
Pursley found some gold. He carried a
little OF it in his shot pouch for months.
He was finally sent by his companions to
Santa Fe to see if they could trade with
the Spaniards. and chose to remain at
Santa Fe in preference to returning to the
hunting party
He told the Spaniards about the gold he
had found. and they tried very hard to per
suade him to go and show them the place.
They even offered to take along strong
force of cavalry But Pursley refused, and
his patriotic reason was that he thought
the land was Oh United States territory.
He told Lieutenant Pike that he feared
they would not allow him to leave Santa
Fee, as they still hoped to learn from him
where the gold was to be found. These
facts were published by Lieutenant Pike
soon after his return, but no one took the
hint, or the risk was too great, and thus
more than half a century passed before
those same rich fields of gold were found
and opened to the world.
If Pursely had been somewhat less patri-
otic and had guided the Spaniards to the
treasures the whole history and condition
of the western part Of our continent might
have been entirely different from what it
now is That region would doubtless have
been part of Mexico, or Spain might have
been in possession of it, owning California,
and with the gold that would have been
poured into her Golfers have been the lead
ing nation in European affairs today. We
can easily see how American and European
history in the Nineteenth century might
have been changed if that adventurer from
Kentucky had not been a true lover of his
native country.-Magazine of American
