THE united States senate is frequent
ly called the Miilionaires' club, because
SO many Of its memt~rs belong to that
favored class whose fortunes are de-
noted by six figures" said senator and
millionaire recently. land this gives
4 wrong impression of the character
Of that body. To be sure. many Of the
senators are miliionaires. and there are
some who, while not so fortunate as to
be listed rs millionaires, are very rich

is not always to his money that man
owes his seat in the upper house. and
mans self-earned wealth should enti-
tie him to the respect rather than the
sneers of his contemporaries"
This Is quite true. The majority of
the senator's began life in humble cir
cumstances, and one of the most inter
osting OF these self-made men Is Sena-
tor Fairbanks, of Indiana, successor Ia

Fairbanks is of Yankee origin, and

descendants of the Puritans have been

Thirty-five years ago John Starnes
lived near Blacksburg. York county,
and only a few miles from the battle
fields Of Cowpens and Kings mountain,
where the Americans whipped the Brit
ish. The proximity of the battlefields
did not inspire a warlike spirit in the
breast OF Starnes. During the war the
conscription officers cast covetous eyes
on the mountaineer's stalwart frame
and Starnes took to the woods. They
searched for him, but Starnes was a
better runner than 4 fighter, and he
kept out of the way, out of the war, and
in the woods. He had an old musket and
supply Of ammunition. and fare in
the woods was better than In the
town. Starnes became fond Of the life,
and when the war WIS over and con-
scription officers had lost their dread
cd power. Starnes still remained in the
wilds of York.
And there he IL now living. His home
is not a romantic cave in the rocks, but
is curiously constructed, miserable
hut, much the shape Of an Eskimo
snow house, without q window, and
with hole about two feet high, which
