stands with his left arm extended, the
fore finger pointing at the speaker, and
proceeds as if he were about to cross -ex-
anime a witness. If Mr.. Bone were not
a successful lawyer and politician, he
might be %show actor" as he does a
clog dance or a darby song with the
same finish which characterizes his pro-
fessional work. His hair is blonde. not
heavy and his resemblance to Tom Reed
is emphasized by the way he trims his
mustache
Mr. Lambert, of Lyoc. is like other
men from his town, not very big, but oh
my! His hair begging his pardon for
mentioning so small a matter) reminds
me of the Mussulman's legend, who in
shaving his head left tiny tuft by which
Mahomet might lift him into paradise.
And judging from the way Mr.. Lam
bert's measures ''get there" something
tangible to take hold of is also concealed
somewhere about the bills he favors.
Mr.. Seaton, of Atchison, who plays
Damon to Col. Warmers Pythias, has
sandy blonde hair, smoothly brushed,
(you can always tell when a man is civil
lied enough to use brush) above a
brow that is particularly benignant in
its expression. He is called the father
of the house; he is also said to be the
richest member, having amassed for
tune of 100000 and he bears these hon
ors with becoming meekness.
Mr.. Caldwell of Lawrence shares the
honors with Mr.. Bone as ladies' man,
being the gayest widower. He has not
a very heavy head of hair, but is said to
have ambition enough to make up for it.
Mr.. Cornell of Wabaunsee looks like a
chararter out of one of Dickens novels.
His hair is dressed in an odd old fashion
ed way, parted on the right side and
worn long.
Dir. Grimes of Wichita is yielded the
palm as the best natured man in the
house
Mr.. Hopkins of Finney has hair enough
to convince biologists of the error of
their recent theory that the coming man
will be a bald-headed creature He wears
it in a zig gag part on the right side,
pompadour' front He is addicted to spec
tacles and Jack Rabbit provincialisms.
In the list of hirsute adornments it
would be grave oversight not to men,
ton Mr.. BenetePs fierce mustache If
it were black il would resemble the chief
property of the heavy villain in melo-
drama Despite this Mr.. Benefiel is not
an Extensively aggressive man, and l am
fam to discredit the statement that l
heard an envious smooth faced man
make that "Benetiel plays to the gale
ries." In fact | think several of the legis-
instance, one man said to me, ''there's
Benedict who does the watchdog of the
treasury act; you ask why some men
part their hair on the right side. He parts
his there because that's the only thing he
does on the right side; he's the kicker of
the house" l think that statement I'M
merited Then there's Mr.. Cannon of
Kingman; I find him a real nice man,
and think it specially unkind that people
for whom he has furnished considerable
amusement, should have dubbed him
"Wiu Talk" Cannon, just because w. T.
are his initials. But Mr. Cannon can
console himself with the reflection that
it is one of the penalties of greatness to
be misunderstood Then there are the
"Pops," really they seem very nice men,
and l could not tell them from the other
fellows.
But this letter already fills more space
than is allotted to
