There is business man in Omaha who
Il SO absentminded that he would leave
his head at the Office were it not for the
fact that it is fastened on beyond his
power to remove it. A few days ago he
invited friend to take dinner with him
on the following day, and upon the &C
ceptance of the invitation seized his pen
and began writing, remarking that he
would have to write to his wife and tell
her about it. The friend was puzzled
and asked an explanation. "Oh, al
ways write to my wife Immediately afte
invite friend to my house." said the
absentminded man. "You see, if I wait
ed until / reached home, it is 1000 to
that would forget it, and then when
took the friend up there would be largs
cloud ON the political horizon"
The next day the friend asked the wife
of the absentminded man about it, and
she confirmed her husbands statement,
adding further, that she never told her
husband what to purchase for the house.
She mailed letter to him at his Office
address, and as soon as he received it he
would step to the telephone and order
the necessary supplies. In this way the
family larder was always well supplied.
1t is plan that other wives might en-
ploy to good advantage.-Omaha World

year or two at village school his in

his thoughts in verse sufficiently remark
able TO attract tho attention of the poet
Rogers, Miss Martineau, Lady Byron
and others, and under their patronage
his first poems were published with the
significant title, 'Guesses at the Beauti-
full"
At the age of 20 he came TO America,
devoting himself for year OF two after
his arrival TO educational efforts among
the poor. In 1856 he went TO Kansas
with John Brown and threw himself into
the abolition fight until he was arrested
by order Of Governor Geary. On his re-
lease he went 10 Canada, where a futile
movement was on foot among the abo-
litionists for the invasion OF the southern
states He was in Texas at the time Of
the Harper's Ferry raid and was again
arrested and taken TO Washington, mar
rowly escaping lynching on the way.
When the war broke out, Realf enlist
ed as a private, and in 1866 was mustered
out with the brevet rank of lieutenant
colonel. He received honorable mention
for gallantry at the battles of Chicxa-
manga and Missionary Ridge and the
publicly expressed thanks Of General
Stanley, his corps commander, for his
conduct in subsequent engagements.
After the war Realf made an unfor-

who fought on the Confederate side dur
ing the war and remained a private
throughout the conflict, and he has the
additional distinction of being the only
private soldier to achieve congressional
honors. His appointment for a month,
10 await the meeting Of the legislature
which will elect his successor, is quite
unique, and the history of his election to
the senatorship in 1887 also makes a re-
markable story. In 1880 and 1884 he was
candidate before the Democratic con-
vention for the gubernatorial nomina-
ton, withdrawing both times, first in
favor of Governor Bloxham and again in
favor Of Governor Perry. Both these
gentlemen were opposed to him in the
senatorial fight in 1887, and he again
withdrew in their favor, but the Demo
cratic members of the legislature STAN.
peded and elected him. 1t will be re-
memberod, too, that he succeeded the err
ratio Senator Jones, who devoted so
much more time to lovemaking in De
troit than to his duties in the senate.
Another notable thing about him is
that in the senate he is known as the
man who never votes. He is always in
his seat and is one Of the most punctual,
attentive and hardworking Of the sena-
tors, but he is very easy going and good
natured, and his brother senators take
advantage of this fact, and he is always
paired. II is said that he absolutely
cannot refuse when any senator de-
sires to arrange pair with him, and
whenever a yea and nay vote is taken and
he rises in his seat everybody knows
what is coming, and that he is not going
to vote.
Senator Pasco is by profession law

Dental elector at large for his state, ma

chairman of the state committee from
1875 to 1888. He was born in London in
1884 and brought TO America by his par
ents when very young, first to Prince
Edward island and then to Massachu-
sets, where he was educated and lived
till 1859, when he went to Florida to take
charge Of a school at Monticello, in which
place he has ever since resided.
