No one who knew Hansbrough when
he was in San Francisco twelve years
ago ever dreamed he would fetch up in
the United States senate. Hansbrough
filled the telegraph editors desk on The
Chronicle for many months, and he was
rafting good editor of news, besides
being an expert on head writing. At
that time the newspapers here got only
light Geographic service, because the
overland wires were in poor condition
and the rates extremely heavy Proba-
bly, 5000 words u night was an average
report. Under these conditions it was
necessary to add any descriptive matter
that would supplement a dispatch, and
also to make an attractive head. Hans
brough was an artist in this kind of
work
Once, when Alexander Ii made a
wholesale sweep of lot of nihilists.
shooting several and exiting the remain
der to Siberia, Hansbrough headed the
rather lurid report of Russian imperial
cruelty as "Czar-Saparillaw Work at a
desk, however, proved too monotonous
for Hansbrough, and finally. in 1872 he
conceived the idea of taking an educated
Chinese to the east on lecture trim.
Hansbrough hired Hull, the most accom-
phshed newspaper .'fahir" on the coast.
who made Denis Kearney famous by
writing his sand lot speeches, to prepare
the lecture, and it was very entertain
ing one.
The east didn't bite as Hansbrough ex
pected, and the lecture outfit went to
pieces somewhere between Chicago and
New York. Then Hansbrongh went to
Iowa and started a paper. When the
Dakota boom started he saw his oppor-
tunity, and now he is reaping the fruits
of it. He may not know as much about
law or parliamentary procedure as
many other senators, but there are few
in that body who have more general in
formation than Hansbrough. st. Louis

A review of Lawrence Barrett's career
is lesson to all who basely betray
golden opportunities. Think of this
man as born of humble Irish parents,
seven months child, so frail in physique
that for the first five years of his life h,
could not lift his head! When later he
went to school it was his fond mother
who carried him in her hard worked
arms. He undoubtedly inherited from
both parents the seeds of the diseas
WHICH has taken him away in his prime;
and on top of weak body nature placed
an enormous head, which made the bat
tie for existence all the harder.
Lawrence Barrett, the man, coul,1
wear no hat not made to order, though
on one occasion he succeeded in finding
II tolerable fit in John Fishes when this
clever but absent minded philosopher
walked off from Ole Bulls house in Cam
bridge with Barrett's brand new beaver
leaving less enticing headgear in it,

until his own hat was forthcoming
