sion, to elect senator, and Mr. Simon
was chosen. During the interim. Ore
gon only had one senator. It is not like
" that, In the future, any state legisr
lature will fail to perform its functions,
because the rule of the senate is well
understood. Governors of states cam
not appoint to fill vacancies caused by
the negligence or criminality of recall
citrant state legislators.
The leading men in the senate to-day
are not those who are noted for their
much speaking. Perhaps the most
conspicuous republican senator IS Mark
Hanna, known generally as the special
and most trusted friend OF President
Mckinley. But while Mark Hanna Is
conspicuous, he is not much of a power
In shaping legislation. This shows that,
while man may be a power In politics
and politically conspicuous, he must
take back seat as "a new senator" ?"
when he enters the great deliberative
body. 1t is no reflection upon Mr..
Hanna, but statement of fact.
Senator Aldrich, of Rhode Island, Is q
man of whom you seldom hear, because
of his quiet, unobtrusive manners. But
he is one of the veterans, one Of the
workers, one of the managers; and he
has done the bulk OF the work In COM
mittee on all tariff and financial meas
ures for the senate during the past 10
years. His handiwork was seen on the
Morrison, Mills, Mckinley, Wilson and
Dingley tariff bills. -
Mr.. Quay's position has been some
what like Mr.. Hanna's. Now, how
ever. Mr.. Quay has been in the senate
long enough for his associates to rec
ognize his shrewdness and good sense.
He is thorough partisan, and his influ-
enee ischiefy in his own party. Never
theless the democrats find him good
man to get along with, because he does
just what he says he Is going to do, and
his opponents can rely upon his word,
whether. he says he is going to fight
them or help them.
Of an entirely different character
from the influence Of Senator's Hanna
and Quay is that of Senator Hoar. Sem
ator Hoar is a scholarly, clear-headed
md able statesman. He has had the
best of academic training, and has cul-
tivated in every way an already broad
intellect. AS might be expected, he
has much influence in the senate on
any matter that is purely intellectual

A collier who amused himself with
flying pigeons had occasion to go to
town recently, and took wi him a bird
in bag. He was about to tesz up the
pigeon in the town hall square when a
policeman came up and told him that he
must not fly the bird there why no? ?''
asked the collier. Because it is for
bidden, and shall have to lock you up

sharpness of his kind, thereupon took
the pigeon out Of the bag, set it on the

saved His Life by a Jest.

Archee Armstrong was the well-be-
loved jester of King James VI. of Scot
land, afterward James 7. of England,
and this is the traditional story of their
introduction: "One day a, shepherd
with the carcass Of a sheep over his
shoulders was tracked to his cottage
on the moorlands by the officers of
justice. In the cottage they found a
vacant-faced lad, rocking cradle with
more attention than a boy is accus-
toned to give that duty; this, how
ever, did not arouse their suspicious.
They searched the cottage thoroughly,
but failed to discover the sheep. They
We're about to depart, when one of
their number accidentally looked into
the cradle, and-the stolen sheep lay
there! The lad, who was supposed to
be the thief, was brought before King
James VI. of Scotland. He was tried,
convicted, and sentenced to die. He
began to plead with the king. He was
q poor, ignorant fellow, he said; he
had heard of the Bible and would like
TO read it through before he died.
Would the king respite him until he
did so? The king readily gave his con-
sent, whereupon the culprit irnrnedi-
ately said: "Then hang me if ever
read word OF, as lang as my cen are
open" The witty reply captured the
king. He pardoned the prisoner, and
took him into his service as jester.
In this capacity Archee was soon

Be happy as we can.

And griefs and disappofntments

Mr.. German does not try TO dictate

policy which he believes to be best, but
Il his party associates adopt an entire
y different policy he works just as ear

who talk little, but who, fgurativeIy
speaking, saw lots of wood. Among

When the oath was administered to.
Senator Simon, Of Oregon, the senate
became complete body numerically
for the first time in almost two years.
There are now 90 senator's present or
accounted for, two senator's for each OF
the IS states in the republic.
The term Of Senator Mitchell, Of
Oregon, expired March 4, 1897. The Or
gon legislature failed 70 perform its
duty and adjourned without electing a
successor to Senator Mitchell. The
governor of Oregon appointed Senator
Corbett, but the United States senate
refused to grant him seat. Conse-
quently it became necessary for the
legislature Of that state. In extra ses-
