the Gout.
1t is very funny to watch them eat
and to see Upon what meat these
our Caesars feed that they may
grow so great" One looks like a
dyspeptic, and as he sits in the
Senate he chews his red mustache
as if his were hungry. He is as
lean as a rail, and you would never
that he was one of the big
gest eaters of the Capitol. He
likes rich food, and he washes his
lunch down every day with a pint
of champagne. One of his favorite
dishes is calves liver and bacon,
and he smacks his lips three times
a week over a chatting dish stew.
Senator Stewart of Nevada is an
other man who is fond Of a chat
ing dish stew, and there is bak
er's dozen of Senators who think
that oysters served i'll this way form
dish for the gods. Senator Ste
wart cooks his oysters himself
He calls for a dozen of the finest
selects, and these are brought to
him at the table and a chatting dish
is set before him. There is no wat
er used. The oysters are stewed
in their own liquor IN large glass
of the best sherry wine, and, i'll adj
dition, he puts i'll big lump of
butter and the yollls of two eggs,
and then salts and peppers to taste.
1t is one of the richest dishes known
to public men and is very produc-
tive of govt. Senator Stewart
drinks no wine with his meals, but
he now and then he has a bottle of
beer. He is not very particular
about his surroundings, but he likes
to do his own cooking.
Senator Hawley knows what is
good, but he usually takes light
lunch. His favorite dish is chick
ell soup, and after this he has a piece
of apple pie and a glass of milk. If
he has a friend with him he spreads
himself out over the whole bill of
fare, but when alone his lunch is
light one. Senator Sherman is
another pie-eater. His favorites are
apple and custard, and he always
takes glass of milk with his lunch.
Senator Eyre lunches on apple pie
and cup Of tea, PETER. of Kansas
confines himself to bowl of bread
and milk or an oyster stew. PETER
never pays more than IS cents a
meal, and he doesn't waste his
change on walters. Joe Blackburn
and Arthur P. German are both
fond of good living. Blackburn
likes his toddy made of old whiskey
to take with his meals, and Cor
man eats his meats cold. He is
fond of cold ham, turkey. and one
of his side dishes is usually hashed
brown potatoes served up with
poached egg upon them.
Senator Hoar of Massachusetts
has the reputation being small
feeder. He is, however, one of
the richest gourmands of the Senate,
and he is fond of filling his round
stomach with chafing-dish stew,
and he dotes on sweetbreads served
up in butter. There is nothing too
good Senator Wolcott. He wants
his food highly seasoned and he is
very fond of pheasants and other
game. He likes a nice porterhouse
steak served so rare that the blood
runs down its sides. He eats big
meal every noon and the day is cold
indeed when you find any wrink-
les III his stomach. All of the
Western men live well. Hans.
brough and Dubois want the best
that the cooks can provide. Sena-
tor Perkins of California is a great
feeder, and his colleague, Senator
White, picks out half dozen dish
es and eats them all. These men
seldom dine alone and the average
statesman likes company at his
meals. Henry Cabot Lodge usual
ly brings a party in with him, and
Tom Reed, Julius Caesar Burrows
and Dolliyer of Iowa come to the
Senate and eat their lunches togeth-
err. Reed usually takes a course
dinner at noon. He begins with
blue points and likes to wash his
meals down with champagne.
