meal and this man is noted for his love of
terrapin and champagne. He has held a
high rank in the army of the United States
and he has one of the biggest heads and
the most beautiful silver hair in Washing
| ing. His nose however, is a wonder. 1t is
fat, large and of bluish-red. 1t looks like
a rose clored pin-cushion, and you can read
Champagne, Chartreuse and Old Bourbon
all over it. 1t is so prominent, indeed, that
Its owner, who is one of the jo1liest fellows
OF Washington, was thought to be wearing
1t as a mask at fancy ball a year or two
ago. He here met charming young lady
who was making her debut at the capitol
that season and who pleased him very
much. She wore mask and she chatted
coquettishly with him from behind it,
Towards the close of the evening he asked
her to unmask She did so and General
Blank found she was as beautiful as she
was witty, and while he was compliment
ing her upon her charms, the lady turned
to him and said:
''Thank you for your compliments, but [
would like to know to whom 1 am talking.
[ have taken off my mask and now | want
you to take off yours.n
But" replied the general, "my dear
girl, am not masked. 1t is my natural
face that gazes enrapturedly on yours"
81 don't believe it,'' said the gay young
lady. ''You are wonderfully well made up,
but l can see that that nose is false. Come,
now, please do take off your nose.'
The generals face grew red, his nose be-
came more plum colored than ever, and it
was some time before he could persuade the
young lady that his nose was not a false
one.
1 went into the press gallery this after
noon and took a look at
THE NOSES OF THE SENATE.
What handsome proboscis Senator Ed
munds has. 1t stands out like great rosy
bow between those red cheeks and there is
striking Roman curve between it's tip
and its roots at the forehead. Edmunds'
head is as bald at the top as billiard ball
and from his silvery whiskers behind his
crown his skin is as fair as that of two
ar-old baby. His nose has this COM
plexion and though it is charged that at
times he takes little old brandy for his
stomach's sake, this has never discolored
his face and he looks as though he fed on
grits and spring water. He has re-
markably sensitive nose and physiogno-
mlsts would call the nostrils fretful and ir-
ritable. 1t is a judicial nose and a legal
nose and when it smells at the law it smells
for pay. 1t brings its owner many a five
thousand dollar fee and it has made him
one OF the rich statesmen of 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
made trip to Cuba few years ago and
while there he came within an ace of be-
ing captured by the banditti and held for
ransom. His nose is strong one and |
don't suppose he would say it was worth
100000 to him, but had they caught him
and with razor in hand told him that thew
would slice that nose off into pieces the
size of Saratoga potato chips imagine they
would have gotten their money. Look at
THAT NOSE OF SENATOR STANFORD.
You could put it in wine glass; but Stan
ford would not sell it for S50,0OO,OOO, and
the same is true of the long, thin smeller of
Senator Hearst. The noses of these two
money makers are entirely different. Stan
ford's is fat with large nostrils Hearst's
is secretive and thin, and 1t is said to be
the best nose for mines in the country. 1t
Is not, however the nose of 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 j.
ingalls, and deties the world, the flesh and
the devil There is a fighting nose for you
That nose might be the nose of pirate. 1t
might be the nose of a reformer, Of great
writer, of 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
