htTVlnR OHe Oh Nue CHOSEN people. Il
have been told by other people who have
been in my chair that that same quiet
little private secretary of Senator AL
lison is one of the most influential men
in the capitol building. He does not
make any pretensions, and always talks
in very low tone of voice without any
degree of excitement and apparently
without any degree of particular inter-
est in anything, but gentlemen of high
standing who have been in my chair
have told me he is n very shrewd and
sagacious politician, who knows more
of public men than any other man in
private life in the country. l do not
know anything about those things my
self, but l ain sure from what people
have said to me that he must be very
superior man, indeed, in the higher
walks OF life.

very impetuous sort of a fellow, who
wants everything done according to his
own way of thinking, and he has very
little respect for the opinion of the bar
Der. There are several particular
places upon his face, where the beard
is very rough, and he insists upon hav-
ing those places shaved very smooth.
If everything is not done exactly as he
wants it, he declares that he is not hall
shaved. Nearly all newspaper men are
cranks when they are in the BARRIERS

and was travelling alone. Her pocke
had been picked, her ticket and none,
were gone, and the train was rapid,
approaching the great city of New

tears and her sobs attracted attention

and elected the fact that she was o.
