was of a dark gray color and fitted his
graceful form as Mr.. Burton's clothes
always fit. He wore hat of the same
color and never failed to bestow smile
upon any one who gave any evidence of
Mir Ingalls, was dressed in exactly the
same style of clothes as Mr.. Burton. The
coat was of the same long Prince Albert
cut but the color was lighter. There
was another radical difference. Mr..
Ingalls, clothes showed the effect of
wear. In fact it WAS the same suit he
wore when he visited Topeka nearly a
year ago. His head was covered with
a cheap straw hat which was also much
the worse for wear His dark blue
small turquoise pin, the only jewelry
he wore.
Ex- Senator Ingalls, has the reputation
of being man who is quick to resent
slight but if be was chagrinned because
there was no one to meet him he care
fully concealed the fact. II should have
let them know when I was coming said
he. "Of course they could not tell when
l would be here when there was no one
to tell them"
"some one should have been there, any
how" said by-stander. Il would not
like it"
"Oh, Inever pay much attention to such
things" replied the tall statesman,
''Some times 1 work this little," and he
tapped his jaw Significantly, "but that is
all"
When Senator ingalls, walked from the
street car to the hotel he was unattend-
ed and the first man to meet him was ex-
Governor Thomas A. Osborn, who shook
his hand warmly. Mr.. ingalls, stood
holding his new alligator grip and light
overcoat short time as he talked, and
then took seat and chatted with Cover
nor Osborn and other friends.
There is one element about Senator In
gals which stamps him as a politician,
and that is his remarkable memory of
faces. In this he rather has the advan-
tage of Mr.. Burton. He also has anoth-
er element found only in politicians,
whether he knows you or not he pretends
that he does, 80 every one who came up
received very hearty hand shake.
Mr.. Ingalls, made single mistake. He
recognized some one who spoke TO him
but mistoOk him for some one else. The
man corrected him and the ex-senator ap-
peared confused for an instant but said: !:
"Why yes, of course. That's nothing
though, down at Parsons the other day
man came up to me and said, "Why, how
do you do, Mr.. Simpson" l shook hands
with him of course, but do you think I
look like Jerry?" And the sides of the
senatorial candidate shook with laugh
ter.
From your talk, Senator. we have a
suspicion that there is something in the
wind" said some one.
SIS that 80" replied the man who skins
Democrats as he attempted to feign sur
prise THAT is strange but guess the
suspicion is justified"
In referring to public questions and
their discussion the senator said jokingly:
"There is one advantage in being on
every side of the question. You get to
know all about it.
"Yes," continued Mr.. Ingalls, in reply
to a question. 81 came over from Atchi-
son today. We are all right at Atchison
The governor told US that if we would
close up and stay closed for day all our
sins would te forgiven. so 1 suppose we
are numbered among the righteous
now"
Then the gaze of the man from Atchi
son rested on Colonel Tomlinson who
sat in front of him. why, Colonel" he
said, you have a strange look on youl
face"
"Oh, assume that look when I lis
ten," replied the Colonel
"Oh, you assume a virtue, though YoU
have it not" and Mr. Ingalls, laughed
heartily again-in fact he was in the
gayest of moods
When the ex-senator entered the hotel
be met Ar. Burton who had just aligh hted
from his carriage. The two men shook
hands and really appeared glad to see
each other. MIR. Burton inquired anx
iously about Mr.. Ingalls, travels over the
state, and the two men chatted pleas
antly for a few moments.
MIR. Ingalls, told a JOURNAL reporter
that he would leave for Ell Dorado this
evening and will make an address there
tomorrow. He said that he is KEPT
quite busy making speeches and finds
almost all of his time occupied.
When Mr.. Ingalls, came up the
street in the car he was recognized by
the crowd on both sides of the street
and a cheer went up, almost the only
cheering that was done Whila the nro
