the thoroughbreds which have taken
part in the long campaign which began
at Washington i'll April and closed at
Morris park on election day are in the

months. This refers particularly t. the

NEW THING IN POLITICS.
Webb's Scarlet WaistcOat Makes a
Sensation in Ver1nOnt's CauitaI

A rudy blush overspreads the hills of
the Green Mountain state and a purplsh haze
drifts through her valleys since the Hon
Seward Webb entered the state senate and
displayed to the astonished gaze Of the YER
mont legislators his scarlet waistcoat Not
since the days when Ethan Allen captured
Llconderoga has such thrill been felt
through the commonwealth. '~-~ -'- --+---
1t was so unexpected, so sudden, and the
waistcoat was so vivid. DR.. Webb, Wander
bllt son-in-law and the third vice president of
the New York Central railroad, attracted but.
little attention when he discovered Lake
Champlain There was merely a local stir
when he bought whole county on the shores
OF this mountain gem, and he was allowed to
transform farms and woodland into an ideal
English estate, lacking nothing but the ruins,
without creating any great amount of COM
ment. 1t was taken as a matter of course
when he announced himself a resident of
Shelburne township and got himself elected
to the state senate. s4AJS
Montpelier folks did open their eyes a
bit when he arrived at the capital in a spe-
cial train and when his special cars de-
bouched whole mountains of trunks, bags,
hat boxes, ETC., which a small army of serv-
ants proceeded to transport to Montpelier's
best hotel, where Mr.. Webb had hired enough
rooms to lodge half the legislature. They
gazed in mild establishment at the barouches
and other vehicles on whose doors were en-
blazoned heraldic devices and at the liveried
funEes who drove the housekeeping horses
and opened the DOORS
But when the Hon. Seward Webb rose in
the legislative halls to take the oath Of Of
flee and displayed that now famous waist
coat in all its scarlet blaze of glory, then
the assembled multitude gazed with its
mouth agape and its eyes a-stare while Col
lamer and John Stark, looking. down from
their glided frames, blinked their dazZled
eyes. And now when the new senator rises
to report bill to restore the woodchuck
bounty, murmur runs through the crowded
galleries and throughout the senatorial cham.
Der may be heard husky whispers of, That's
him! That's Webb"

How You May Do So and Continue to

Young ladies may be beautiful but moth
ing is more attractive in this world than a
lovely old lady, with her white hair. her
rosy face. wrinkled it may be- but with
eyes beaming with kindness even through
her spectacles. But what can be sadder
than sickly old lady, who suffers and
feels that she is a burden to those around
her, and whose Joy in life has departedt Is
it not sorrowful? jsT E
But there is really sno need for elderly
ladies to be weak or sickly. They can build
up their health and keep 1t after it is once
secured If they will only adopt the right
means. Many aged people have discovered
q way to renew their strength and vitality
when they feel weak and worn out and
others may profit by their experience. Here
is a recent opinion on this important subject:

COMING THATCHER'S WAY.
He Will Probably BE the Senator

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Jan. 3d.
This has been an exciting day in the
senatorial contest. Five ballots were
taken, the last being the forty-second
ballot Of the joint assembly, without
any choice. The assembly then took
recess at 8 p. m. and was in session
for an hour without balloting
Thatcher started today with an in

cred strength on each Of the following
ballots until he had a total of twenty
eight within three votes Of election.
as there were only sixty members vot-
ing. In the afternoon session the oppo-
sition to Thatcher resorted to filibus-
tering tactics to gain time, finally sue
ceeding in forcing an adjournment I'M
til Monday, due partly, it is thought, to
misrepresentation Of some of the mem
bers as to what they were voting for.
It is almost certain another ballot this
afternoon would have elected Thatcher.
The Thatcher men are making every
effort to hold their strength which its
opponents claim he has reached the
limit.
