Kentucky's Silent Senator

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.-Senator
Deboe, from Kentucky, occupies a
very unique role in the Senate of the
United States, being classed among
the silent men of that body.
1t is somewhat startling classified
ton for a Senator from that State.
Oratory of a ready and entertaining
order had for so long characterized
the public men from the Blue Grass
Commonwealth that a belief obtain
ed here that none but orators could
hope for political preferment there.
From Mr.. Clay's time, orators Lave
been the rule. The great Harry
himself set the pace, and the tongue
has won all the prizes since. Crit
tenden, Tom Marshall, John G.
Breckenridge, Thompson, Powell,
Dixon, Stevenson, Garrett, Davis,
Tom McCreary, Beck, John Young,
Brown, Carlisle and Blackburn were
all fine speakers in office. Critten-
den and Carlisle were fluent men,
while Garrett, Davis and Beck were
among the best of the ready debat
ers.
The Republican politicians of the
State were for long time of the
same order. Bristow, Harlan, Good.
loe and Swope were all capital
speakers. They ranked with the
best of their Democratic opponents
But somehow they could never turn
the Democratic tide. As often as
election day rolled around a Demo.
cratic majority ranging anywhere
from 80, 900 to $1,000 was found at
the polls. At last a silent man, who
for some years had been a country
doctor, went into politics and began
the construction of machine. He
had the organizing faculty and de-
cided to play that against stump
speaking. He won a congressional
race or two, and then took charge
of the state committee aud made the
organization which landed the state
in the republican column. This
silent man was DR.. Hunter. A hot
factional fight defeated him for the
senate, but he was strong enough to
name the senator, and his choice
fell on DR.. Deboe, another silent
man, and another country doctor,
who has gone into politics and sue,
ceeded. So that the great aristoc,
racy of oratory in Kentucky was in
the end overthrown by a couple OF
silent men, who had taken up pol
itics in middle life.

Never Saw a Negro Before
From Leslie's weekly

From Leslie's Weekly.l
Several years ago l went up in
the mountains to the town of Gads.
den, which was at that time sixty
miles from the railroad. There
were two good merchants doing an
immense business there, and l could
not afford to miss their trade, if
they did use 'ginsang" as legal ten
der.
There was then no colored man
or woman living in that county, and
many of the people had never seen
negro. The day l went up there
happened to be 'Fcourt day." and
the little town was full of men,
women, children, dogs, guns and
corn whiskey. They were drinking,
dancing in the streets and having a
jolly time generally. When l drove
in and stopped before one of the
stores my driver, who CHANGED to be
very black, was Immediately the
center of interest. The crowd swarm
ed around my hack and gazed in
wonder at him.
They advised him to $50 wash
that black off his face" to "Take
off that false face, etc.; and one
woman said to another, while walk
ing around him, ''I've often heerd
tell of 'em, but this is the first one
1 ever seed" Soon the crowd be-
came very familiar with the poor
fellow; first they kicked him, then
began firing their pistols and hitting
the ground close to his feet. They
seemed to think it great fun to make
him dance. They treated him so
roughly that the merchant advised
me to get him away from them and
hide him, or he said they would
kill him just for the fun of the
thing. l finally succeeded in get
ting him Struggled in the merchants
kitchen, where he was glad to stay
until next morning.
l made good sales and left be-
fore daylight the next morning, and
| can honestly say have never had
driver, either before or since,
make such good time as that one
did the first ten miles away from
that town. 1t is needless to say
l was never able to get the same
driver for any subsequent trips, al
though the country through that
region is now very much improved

Mr.. Cleveland's worst ene-
mics have never denied he
had ability. He is still i'll
the prime of his strength, and
would in the Senate add to
his already great reputation.
The only eX-President who
ever sat in the Senate was
Andrew johnson, and the
grim reaper overlook him
such a short time after his
entrance there that the ex-
pertinent of sending EXPIRES
idents to the Senate did not
have a fair chance for trial.

The story set in motion
about a year ago to the effect
that ex-President Cleveland
was DESTROYS of rounding off
his career" in the Senate of
the United States, and that
the people of New Jersey,
now that he had come to live
among them, were anxious to
confer this honor upon him,
is being revived in that Sec
ton of country, and, more
over, is meeting with a very
hearty and favorable reception
from some of the papers. The
Toronto Evening Times, for
instance, discussing the pos
sible election of ex-President
Cleveland as Senator, after
noting his success in the Of
fees he has held, says: "But
there are other reasons why
such men as Mr.. Cleveland
should be sent to the Senate.
The results of the war with
Spain, and the questions
which will have to be consid-
cred in connection with those
results, will require the best
craftsmanship and broadcast
wisdom the country can pro-
duce, and no man possesses
those qualifications in a more
marked degree than Grover
Cleveland. 1t goes without
saying that in consideration
of all these questions Mr..
Cleveland would be found adj
vocating only measures which
were for the best interests of
the people, both of the Unit
ed States proper and the new
ly acquired territory. A na-

Poet and Queen.

DR.. Max Muller relates that the late
queen of Holland frequently came to
England and was fond of meeting while
there distinguished literary people. On
one occasion she lunched with Dean
Stanley and asked him to invite several
literary men. among whom We're Tenny-
son., Lord EouGhtou, Huxley and Max
Muller himself.
Luncheon was ready, and everybody
had come to the d.anery except Teuny-
son. Dean Stanley suggested that the
party should wait no longer, but the
queen refused 10 sit down before the
l.ureate's arrival. There was another
period Of waiting, painful to all the
company.
Finally ONE II suggested that prob
ably Tennyson was incoming about In
the cloisters somewhere" one was sent
to see, and the poet was indeed found
there, apparently oblivious that any
thing was going on. He was brought in
and placed at the table next the queen
of the Netherlands.
The queen took the conversation into
her own hands and in particular tried
to draw Tennyson out. He was not il
talking mood. She addressed him q
question.
Eyes, ma'am," he answered.
Then there was another question.
"No, ma am, came from Tennyson.
Again she asked his opinion abou,
something. The question was not sus-
ceptiblc Of answer by Yes" or NO

dens, Cambridge.
In the gardens Of Christ's college,
Cambridge, stands a venerable mulberry
tree. which, tradition says, was planted
by Milton during the time when he was
. student at the university. This would
be between the years 1924 and 1852,
for the following copy. from the Latin
Of his entry Of admission, accurately
fixes the former date, and his admission
to the degree Of M. A., to which he pro-
ceeded in the latter year, ended his in
innate connection with the university !:
"John Milton, native Of London. son
of John Milton, was initiated in the
elements Of letters under Mr.. Gill, mas
ter Of St. Paul's school; was admitted
a lesser pensioner Feb. IL, 1924, under
Mr.. Chappell and paid entrance fee,
los He was then 16 years and 2
months old.
The tree so intimately associated
with his name is now much decayed,
but in order to preserve it as much rs
possible from the ravages Of time many
of the branches have been covered with
sheet lead and are further supported by
stout wooden props, while the trunk has
been buried in Il mound Of earth. The
luxuriance Of the foliage aud the crop
of fruit wAich it annually bears are
proof Of its vitality, but to insure
against accidents and perpetuate the
tree an offshoot has been planted close
by. In the event Of a bough breaking
and falling it is divided with even jus
tice among the fellows of the college,
and many pieces are thus preserved as
mementos Of the poet. 1t was during
his residence at Cambridge that he COM
posed his ode, ION the Morning Of
Christ's Nativity" "Lycidas, too, is
intimately connected with Millions life
at the university, since it was written
in memory of Edward King, his college
friend and contemporary, with whom
he doubtless shared the same rooms.
In those days students did not, as
now, occupy separate apartments, as
witness the original statutes of the col

wanted to give themselves up, but that
they believed they would be killed by

once in captivity. The Spaniard was
given a good dinner and some clothing
and was then taken on board the Mar.
