race, and he looks as though he fed on
grits and spring water. He has a remark

would call the nostril fretfil and irritable.
Ii is judicial nose and legal nose and

the rich statesmen of a state which runs
more to brains than to money.
AS to golden noses, however. there are
dozen in the Senate chamber which would
bring gold galore if their owners were in
the hands of brigands Senator Sherman

worth $500. 900 to him. but had they caught

that they would slice that nose off in
pieces the size of Saratoga no.
tato chips, imagine they would
have gotten their money Look at that
nose of Senator Stanford. You could put
IL IN wine glass, but Stanford would not
sell 1t for So, 000, 900, and the same is true
OF the long, thin smeller of Senator Hearst.
The noses of these two money-makers are
entirely different Stanford's is fat, with
large nostrils. Hearst's is secretive and
thin, and it is said to be the best nose for
mines In the country 1t is not, however,
the nose of a statesman. and it has not the
pugnacity nor the cruelty of that nose
which sits above the snow white
collar and the red necktie of John
]. Ingalls,, and de.,es.. the world,
lighting nose for you. That nose might be
the nose of pirate. 1t might be the nose
OF a reformer, of great writer or poet.
1t is the nose of an orator and genius. 1t
is thin and sensitive and at the same time
strong. 1t has all of the Roman aggres-
siveness combined with all the Greek in
tellectuality, and its sensitive nostrils are
those of patrician. 1t is the great and
only nose of the great and only ingalls,,
and it is nose which some senators I
know would like to pull, but dare not.
Another fighting nose, but of different
make, is that of Senator Vest. 1t is
smaller than that of ingalls,, and as it
trots around the Senate in front of Vests
cheeks and between his pugnacious eyes,
it makes me think of the bad man from
Bitter creek, who walked around with
chip on his shoulder, yelling that he was
terror and that he could whip any blanked
man in the house. Vest likes to hight as
well as he does to eat. He is man of re-
markable ability, and behind his pugna-
cious nose he carries very good-patured
soul. If he thinks his corns are stepped
upon, however, his nostrils begin to dilate,
his shoulders droop more than ever,
his head jumps an inch further
out from his shoulders and his
enemies need to look out. Senator Cor
man has classic nose. 1t is large,
straight and Grecian, and it looks very
much like the nose of Senator Gray, save
that it shows more power. Senator Cock
rell's nose is long and thin. 1t is a typical
American nose and Cockrell keeps it well
down on the grindstone of senatorial hard
work. seldom get a fair look at it from
the press gallery, as he is always bending
over his papers, and Cockrell seems to
work from morning till night. Next to
him sits Senator Coke, who has a magni-
hcent nose, but who seems to do lit
tie else. than polish it, and back of
h h is fat Senator shapele Ss0rse probo wao
which will not hold spectacles and upon
the end of which pair of gold glasses
usually rides. Senator Carlisle has what
is called the inquisitive nose. 1t looks as
if it were cut out by Natures chisel. but
left in the rough. 1t runs straight from
the forehead for an inch towards the mouth
at the proper angle for the correct nose,
and here breaks OFF in kind of button
ending in rather sensitive nostrils. 1t is
curious nose and we all know that 1t is the
nose of statesman. Senator Reagan's
nose is tat and blinchy. and that of Vance
is one of the best-natured all-around noses
in the chamber. / would rather live be-
hind vance's nose than behind that of any
other Democratic senator. Ii has all the
lines of good-nature and good-fellowship.
and, like contentment, it is better than
great riches.
One of the most remarkable beaks in the
Senate is that of Senator Evarts. / use the
word beaks advisedly, for Evarts has
nose like that of an eagle. 1t is big and
strong. and il makes pronounced curves, as
ii stands well out from one OF the strong
est and one of the most homeiy faces in
the United States Senate. IL Is the king
nose of the Republican side of the cham
Der, and it is a good-natured nose as well
as big one 1t is a deliberate nose, and
all of the lines about it indicate conserva-
tive thought. 1t is nose capable OF ludg-
ing good dinner, and the nostrlls
are those of gastronome. 1t has
smelled barrels of terrapin, and has
felt the effervescing gases of oceans OF
champagne. Still there is not 4 blotch nor
a stain upon it, and il shows that its
owner with all his love for good living, is
either Spartan or is possessed of a re-
markable stomach. Senator Cullom has
long high-shouldered nose. 1t is like the
rest OF his features, rugged and honest,
and as it carries him about the chamber IL
makes one think of the nose of Abe Lin
coin. 1t has not, however, the strength
of Lincolns nose, and il is longer than 1t
is large Frank Hiscock, of New York,
has a fat, welI-made nose, the noStrils of
which show out over thick lips, and are
rather conceited in their outlines, and II Is
the nose OF man who estimates
himself as highly as he is worth.
IL is rather sneering nose, and
il don't strike me rs an aristocratic nose.
1t stands out in strong contrast, as look,
with that of Sawyer, who, short and port
w has one of the best business noses IN
the Senate. Every line in Sawyer's pro-
boscis is strong. IL comes ont from the
ewes With a prominent curve and goes
