ABSOLUTELY PURE
A Senator's Start.

Senator Warren. of Wyoming. owes
his start in life TO q hopeless-looking
potato patch. He was the son of a
Massachusetts farmer who didn't take
stock in education, and the boy was
tied up to hard farm work. With his
mothers aid he had received some ele-
mentary schooling. but anything be-
yond that seemed hopeless, because
every hour of his time was claimed.
One spring there were few seed pota-
Toes left over after planting, and Mr..
Warren told the lad that he might
stick them in for himself in very
rocky patch of land, provided he would
give in return certain number of
bushels for the use of the soil. 1t was
q hard deal, but young Warren's grit
rose equal to the occasion. The land
was. too rocky 10 plow if he had had
means to do so, but he broke it up
somehow, and stuck seed potatoes IN
wherever he could. There was a great
patch of coarse-rooted grass that he
couldn't get over, but there was still
some seed left, and finally the boy
poked it in under the edges of the
grass wherever he could.
He had no hopes of making anything
off Of his venture, but drouth and
every disease known to the potato
world appeared that year, the crop
was a complete failure. and Warren
was too disheartened even to DIG his
spoils. His father, however. insisted
on it, but there WAS nothing but nub-
bins to reward him. Then Warren in
despair lifted the edges of the trouble
some grass with crowbar, and there
were potatoes fit for king, in spite of
the fact that they were of an inferior
variety. They were big and fine, and
lots Of them. The result was that the
boy managed to rescue enough money
20 start him at Wilbraham Academy,
and from that time on he bent things
to his own advantage, no matter what
the difficulties. es.-hGtc FietdS WaShiRg-

He CAN TALK WITH THE MONKEYS.
Prof. Garner Announces the Success OF
His Mission to Africa.

Prof Garner has written q letter to
his brother in Australia in which he
declares that he has succeeded be-
yOnd his widest anticipation" in his
experiments with monkey talk in
Africa. He SAYS: Il am safe on the
coast, Just reeking with quinine, the
proud pOs5essor of n chimpanzee that

have also got written down, which is
more important, nearly 2O0 monkey
words. Here are a few, spelt phOnetl
cally: 'Achru,' meaning sun, fire,
warmth, etc; 'kukcha, meaning water,
rain, cold, and apparently anything
diSagreeable; 'goshku,' meaning food,
the act of eating. You will see from
this that it is very primitive lam

than twenty or thirty words in it that

When his battery. phonograph and
revolving mirror began to work, he
says that the glitter of the mirror

| got close to it | found that it took no
notice of me, but stood as ii trans

dilated pupils. gazing at the mirror.

beautiful girl, and, by way of diversion
he sought her society as much as pos

From that moment Blummer grew
rapidly desperate, after the manner of
any man who knows his affection Is
reciprocated yet feels that the situa-
tion is hopeless.
One night as they sat on a huge
bowlder and watched the glory Cf the
moonlight on the ripping ocean, he
told her how much he loved her, and
heard her sweet voice confess q mutual
attachment.
Then came the task Of revealing the
truth, which he did in manly man

ing student of the best methods to secure
it, He also has the great advantage OF
possessing the confidence of every con-
gresham who has served with him, re-
CARELESS of party.
He was born March IL, 1884, at Lau-
rensville, s. c., but was soon taken to
Greenville, Butler county, Ala. He was
educated at the University Of Alabama
and the University of Virginia, studied
law and was admitted to the bar. He
entered the Confederate service as cap
tain and was in a short time promoted
to the colonelcy Of the Eighth Alabama
volunteers. He was wounded at the bat
tie of the Wilderness in 1864 After the
war he resumed the practice of law at
Greenville. Ala, until 1872, when he re-
moved to Montgomery. where he has
since practiced. He was elected to the
Forty-ffth, Forty-sixth, Forty-seventh,
Forty-eighth Forty-ninth, Fiftieth and
Fifty-irst congresses, and reelected to
the Fifty-second congress as a Demo-
crat. receiving 1861 votes against 1851
votes for S. A. Pillary. Independent.
His Democracy is of what's now called
the Cleveland type-that is, he advocates
a radical reform of the tariff, is opposed
to free coinage of silver, is practical
civil service reformer and opposed to
those schemes of government paternal-
ism now so much advocated. He is a
widower with three children, one mar
ried daughter, another young lady and
the third a younger son at school.

tv Cork, where he was born in 1874,
when he was but years old, his wild
owed mother fleeing from the poverty
and misery which followed the famine
and famine clearances." Yet despite
his A years in America he is still Irish
in his sympathies, though he has always
earnestly opposed the mixing up of Irish
matters with American politics.
His mother secured a modest home in
Chelsea, Boston's suburb, and the son
gained eight years of American training
and common school education before
going at hard work at the age of IL. In
boyhood he went to Ohio, where he
worked on farm and in the coal mines,
ran stationary engine and did all sorts
of common labor, but always struggling
to improve. He returned to Boston,
learned the trade of an upholsterer, was
foreman of a shop at the age OF Fl and
soon laid up money enough to take
course in law, graduating from the Har-
ward law school. His success was great
from the start and his manner OF speak
ing singularly effective.
In 1871 he retired from practice and
soon became noted in politics. After
holding some minor offices he was elect
+ ed to congress in 1S82-4-6. He was for
six years at the head of the state Demo
cratic committee, has been delegate at
several national conventions and is
doubtless the most influential lrishman
in American politics. The return of such
a man as consul general to the United
Kingdom, which he left as poor orphan,
would add another to the many brilliant
proofs that in such land as this nc
youth need despair
