COngressma SENATOR Fl. l.. DAWES.
Blount is but tlfty-fye years old. but has
served continuously in the house for ten
terms.
Henry Laurens Dawes was born Oct. 30,
1916 in Cummington, Mass, was gradu-
ated at Yale in 1889. and after working
some time As teacher and editor was ad
mitted to the bar in 1912 He served in
the legislature from 1S4S to 1850, was then
elected to the state senate, was a member
Of the state constitutional convention of
1853. and was elected TO congress in 1885.
Entering the Thirty-seventh congress as a
new member at the age of forty-one he
rose 80 rapidly that he soon took rank as
one Of the leaders of the house.
His record for the next sixteen years is
an important part OF the history Of the
country. It would be difficult 10 name
any great fiscal, economic or humanitarian
legislation Of the nine congresses from
1877 to 1876 which does not bear the marks
of his workmanship. He was the author
of many tariff measures, and as chairman
of the committee on ways and means
shaped all legislation Of that kind for
many years. He declined a reelection 10
the Forty-fourth congress and was inn
mediately chosen to succeed Charles Sum-
ner in the senate, that statesman's unex-
nired term having been filed by William
3. Washburn.
On March 4, 1875, Mr.. Dawes ended
eighteen wears continuous service In the
house and took his seat in the senate,
where his eighteen years OF continuous
service are soon to end Among the many
l., faI kfd
thorough reform Of the system OF dealing
with the Indians has perhaps received the
highest praise. He was appointed on
special committee TO investigate the dis
turbances in the Indian territory, and his
report thereon at once took rank as pOlit-
zeal and governmental classic. He drew
up and secured the passage of bills allot-
ting lands in severalty to Indians, securing
the treaty rights and educational and
property interests OF the Sioux and max
inc the Indians amenable to the general
criminal laws. The whole existing system
OF Indian education is the result OF laws
drafted by Senator Dawes
He has withal done something in litera-
ture and applied science, and In con)unc-
ton with Professor Cleveland Able in
1869 he began the work which resulted in
the present weather bulletin" In short,
it is but simple justice to say that among
the working legislators Of this age Sena-
tor Dawes has no superior, though he is
not specially noted as an orator His
daughter. Anne, has also gained some rep
utation as writer.

HON. ]. II. HLoUNr. that men Of bril-
liant talents, but strangely erratic, acquire
power The fact that Mr.. Blount soon
proved himself safe and cautious, though
progressive legislator, had much TO do
with the firm hold he soon secured on his
constituents.
He began his congressional career in the
elected to the Forty-fourth, Forty fifth,
Forty-sixth, Forty Forty-eighth,
Forty-ninth, Fiftieth, Fifty-hrst and Fifty
second, and with the close Of the Fifty
second-next March--his public life will
close by his own act. II was tacitly under
stood in the Sixth Georgia district in 1890
that Mr.. Blount would make THAI his last
race for congress- and his opponents limited
that he wanted 20 go higher-to be gov
ernor and then United States senator. BE
that as it may, he declared that ten sue
cessive elections 10 congress- more than
gratifed his ambition.
Many amusing stories are told Of Mr..
Blount's talents in eiectioneering. He did
not exactly know every voter in his dis
trict, but he did know every man Of local
influence, and knew his tastes and pecul-
iarities The story of his buying lot OF
beaver traps at job lot sale and sending
them TO a trapper constituent is an old one
among Georgians, and IL is scarcely neces-
sary 10 add that every man Of ''trapper'
tendencies voted for him on all possible

a REMARKABLE WOMAN.
Miss Knapp Has Been Horse Reporter
Novelist and Country Editor.

In these days, when so many avoca-
tions are open 10 women. it Is such q
common thing 20 see them engaged in
active life az lawyers, doctors, real es-
tate or insurance agents that 1t excites
neither comment nor surprise. Still, o
woman whose business is horse and
cattle reporting, and who. moreover, is
fine Judge of the former animal, is a
decided novelty.
Yet it is in this particular field that
Miss Adeline Z. Knapp has won con-
siderable distinction for herself. She is
OH tho staff of the San Francisco Call,
and under the nom de plume of Miss
Russell contributes every Sunday an
article on the subject Of horses or cattle.
These articles. especially those on riding
and driving, have attracted great deal
Of attention and have been widely cop
led. :. q,
She has for years read and studied
more or less about horses. and IS a good
borsewoman and sl,illful driver.
By tho ranchmen of California she is
acknowledged to be well versed in these
subjects, and they nave great respect
for her opinion. From time to time she
has visited and written about the vari-
GUS cattle ranches in the state, and this
summer spent her ten days vacation in
the saddle, climbing hills, fordins
streams and frequently sleeping in the
open air. When on such excursions
Miss Knapp uses a small English racing
saddle and rides astride, as she finds
such O saddle and such position much
less fatiguiug than those ordinarily
adopted by women. Her dress on these
occasions consists Of blouse waist, nd
ing trousers and a long skirt which falls
in full folds each side Of the saddle and
lust covers the feet.
