in leadership. He is regarded as one
of the most reliable and conscientious
counselors on the republican side of the
senate. and his advice is always sought
by his colleagues before any steps are
taken in matters of important legis-
| lation. de is not given much to speak
| ing. but is known to be one Of the ablcst
orators in the senate or in the country.
He is regarded as man of strict integ
rity, honorable and upright in every
thought as well as every deed. For
many years he has been one of the FORE
most champions of the principle of free
coinage of silver. In season and out Of
season, at all times and upon every Oc-
casion. he has advocated this doctrine.
His attitude has had much to do with
creating and fostering The sentiment
in favor of free coinage which has re.
Gently become so prevalent throughout
the country He is a statesman of the
old school and his views command re
spect, primarily because they are Sen
ator Teller's views; and everybody
knows him to be safe man in politica!
and legislative councils. He has 81
ways been a republican and has never
swerved from his party because of his
advocacy of silver. Other republican
senators have done so without thereby
aiding the cause of silver.
Senator 10 C. S. Blackburn, of Ken
lucky, who is now making the fight of
his life for reelection to the senate, is
one of the great men of this age; and,
no matter whether or not he shall be
reelected to the senate, he will COM
mand attention of the country during
the Fifty-fOurth congress. He is a
magnetic orator, and a man whom
everybody must like after once clasping
hands with him. He has taken adj
vanced ground for the free coinage of
silver; and on that account his party
appears to be split into Blackburn and
anti-Blackburn factions. There is no
more popular man in Kentucky than
Blackburn, and yet he is fighting hard
for his position. Ordinarily he would
be easily reelected, but this silver prob
lem has knocked political calculations
TO smithereens in Kentucky, and hence
the senator must be alert and active day
and night until the contest is con-
cluded. He is the only man on the
democrat side of the senate that ever
matched Senator Ingalls,, of Kansas, in
debate. On one occasion he fairly
hayed Ingalls, alive, and while he was
speaking in his most effective manner

was always a wit, called to Blackburn:

housekeeping and Homcmak,n~.

Housekeeping is not always home
making, and the modern woman is be-
ginning to find it out. To live for the
house and its glory isone mode Of exist
ence; another mode is TO make tho
house exist for the sake Of the people
who are to adorn it. The former Is
housekeeping; the latter is homemak-
ing. You can discern the difference be-
tween home and house directly on
entering domicile If you are half way
observant. You can tell by the books
and the tides and the arrangement Of
the divans and the pillows and the
lamps. The real state of things is IN
the atmosphere, and is as discernible as
though written on the wall.

But the good woman had no sooner
drawn back the door, with mouth al
ready open to give the intruder an i'm

shrek of establishment that startled
the corporal in the back kitchen.

Yes, it was he.

"Ah, this is comfortable. Well,
where's the gallant corporal an how's

without ceremony into an armchair.
''He's cleanin' hisself, he be-" Then
running out she broke the extraordi-

husband.
"Who dost thou think be a-settin' i

"ElsIe come baclx?"
"No, indeed. There, thou1t never

corporal slowly, as he dried his face on

notes than a genial atmosphere pre-

await Dodd's coming.
