The senate is one Of the most dignified
deliberative bodies in the world. / was

keep their shoe backing in their desks

Whenever n senator has made q speech

elderly gentleman. with 20 or pippin

with him, and in few we'll chosen
words congratulates him and thanks him
for the wild. delirious joy he has given
to the senate. and especially to the gen
tleman from Illinois One morning. in
an abSentminded way, he started down
the aisle to congratulate tho chaplain on
his terse summary of what he would
like to have done. but later on changed
his mind and paused at Senator Georges
seat to congratulate him ON the brake
man curve he had given to his hair.
Senator George is not spirituelle in ap-
pearance, and he has a massive jaw,
which Samson would have sat up nights
to yearn for He conceals what forehead
he has by draping his dank hair across
it. and rs one looks upon him it is nat

A cruel senator once referred to Sena
tor George as the educated hog. and
Senator Ingalls, moved to strike out the
adjective as surplusage.
Senator John Sherman is built very
much like Senators Proctor, Teller and
Cullom They are all tall, slender men.

Senator PETER also is long wasted,
with keen, incisive shoulder blades.
Some think that Mr.. PETERS caricatures
are greatly exaggerated, but that would
be impossible. The most grotesque car

real PETER greatly softened and ideal

Now and then look Of anxiety comes
over him as who should say, "Iwonder
what has became Of all them joint reso-
lutions which I have introduced" but
the look is only momentary and soon
gives place to one Of radiant peace.
Senator PETER does not look strong,
and could not help thinking that pos
sibly his beard is sapping his life away.
Physicians advise him to prune it; but,
no, he will not consent to il, fearing that
he would then sink into obscurity. A
little koumiss in warm water might
build him up and ultimately make him
worthy of his beard. but it would only be
an experiment
Senator Hoar delivered a speech on
Daniel Webster one day while l was
present He pronounces Mr.. Webster &
first name Dammit TWAS an eloquent,
scholarly and classical speech, and re-
flected great credit ON both Mr.. HoaI
and Mr. Webster. The speaker started
of in q rather nervous manner, fearing
no doubt that would criticise his man
ner of delivery, but caught his eye and
gave him at once an assuring look, which
seemed to cheer him greatly as he pro
ceeded.
Mr.. Hoar has face that is not exact

wick face, with a sweet little rosehut
mouth, and there is warm radianc
about his spectacles which would ripel
