"All over the Tyrol, Switzerland, and

with him, and in a few well 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 the 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 be has a massive jaw,
which Samson would have sat up nights
to yearn for. He conceals what forehead
he has by drapirg his dank hair across
it. and as one looks upon him it is nat
ural to think that as soon as he has rest
ed himself sufficiently he will return to
the basement and resume his relations
with the furnace.

Senator John Sherman is built very

The writer can vouch for the anthem

there had been series of barn burnlngs
which had destroyed thousands of dol

The day before the trial a prominent
man called upon the chief offender s

He looked about in vain for some
means of comforting her, but could
only pat her on the shoulder and say:
There, Mrs. s., don't take on so.
Maybe they'll clear him, though down
