I Henry Clay was friend OF the Page
boys. There were many congressman
who would not vote gratuity for the
pages, and who would try to defeat it.
But Henry Clay always stood by us. and
at the close OF each session we usually
secured an appropriation Of 5000 each,
in gold, in addition to our regular sal
aries. Mr.. Morrill, was also our friend,
and he never tried to prevent the adop-
ton Of our annual bill.
"Daniel Webster knew all of the page
bows by name, and he always spoil e in
a kindly manner 10 them. In the SEN
ate he had an especial favorite, OF
whom he was very fond. His name was
Arthur German. Daniel Webster en-
couraged him to study law and make
a man Of himself. AS a result, primari-
ly, of this interest which Daniel
Webster took in him, young German
entered politics, and for the past Is
wears he has been a member of the
senate and leading democratic poiiti-
clan. guess the page boy. Arthur
German, has. been one of the best and
ablest men in the senate during the
present generation. They tell me, too.
that Senator German has always been
kind to the page boys. never forget
ting that he was at one time IN q
similar humble position.
"While Senator Morrill, was in the
house of representatives there was
big man there from Pennsylvania who
was handsome, able and popular. His
name was Galusha A. Grow, and he
came from Pennsylvania. He was made
speaker Of the house and filled the
position with great ability. Twenty
five years passed away, and | read in
the papers that Galusha A. Grow had
been elected to the house of representa-
tives in 1892. i could hardly believe
it was the same man and concluded
that it must be a son of the same
name. i waited until the congress
assembled, and went to Wizards hotel
every night to look ut the register.

A. Grow there; and it was the same

to be a member of the house, and was

Fewer wives would sit lonesomely at
home, while their husbands roam else
where in search of entertainment, il
more wives realized that home should
be something besides clean place te
eat and sleep in. Men hate" women's
tea parties and large show functions,
but they like dinner and supper par
ties. Many families refrain from enter
tanning because they cannot do so on
an expensive scale. 1t is, however, pos
sible to give small dinners and suppers
that are both enjoyable and inexpen-
sive. Ask people who either do or will
like each other, and if you wish the
women to have good time have just
as many men guests as women guests.
re the men are to have a good time
make sure that some of the women are
pretty and flattering. Men like to be
battered. Oh, yes, they do. One of
the surest ways to be awkward I'm

from ones aecust0med manner. If
ones everyday manner is mot good
enough for company. then il should be

ster. They were together great deal,
and they had jolly good times together
after the custom of the day; for tenn
perance principles were not then in
vogue as they are now. Everybody
lived in hotels then, and there were few
boarding houses for congressman.
''When John c. Breckenridge came to
congress he took precedence over them
all, because he was, not only hand
some man, but a gentleman of the most
genial manners. He had an indescrib-
able air which drew men to him; and
he was also ladies' man. That was not
because he was particularly dangler
after the society of the ladies, but be-
cause the ladies were all after him.
guess that John c. Breckenridge was,
for a time, the most popular man in
either house of congress.
@"Thomas III. Benton, of Missouri, was
unpopular in the house of representa-
tives because he was so pompous. He
had served for 80 years in the senate
record which had never before been
equaled. When he came to the house of
representatives he naturally expected
considerable consideration, because of
his long career in the senate. But in
that he was mistaken. Nobody in the
house of representatives has ever Sc

his own merits and manners. 1t has al
ways been largely question of man

at the same time he was very dignified.
He knew everybody by name and spoke

nifty which was respected. Mr.. Calhoun
lived at my fathers house, and 1 was

the most studious man in the house,

INVITE FIERCE LIGHT.
Il WIS Only Then That the Honest
Legislator Realized Hts
Opportunities.

I: doesn't make any difference, after
all these years, who the man was or OF
what state legislature he was a MEM
bel. 1t is enough to knew that he was
Hon. Reuben from Hayseed county,
and was for the first time there, and
Tor the FIRST time in the fierce light
that blazes around the methods and
the money of the lobbyists. But Hon.
Reuben had been elected because he
WAS POOR ard honest. ard he was
pledged 10 represent his constituency
on those lines. At least. that was the
pledge before he struck the fierce
light" atmosphere. He had been en-
gagged II his arduocs labors OF states
MaEship for about six weeks, ard so
far he was the only member who had
not been dined and wined and hon
ored by those with an object in view.
Hon. Reuben saw what a fine time his
fellow members were having, and he
bravely braced himself against the
temptation tfat he knew must come.
AT the same time he thought people
might at least be polite to him. He
was only a man, after all, and though
honest above all things. he liked good
thing when he could get it.
At last the. temptation came, and one
evening a noted lobbyist invited the
member from Eaysced to Il dinner such
as he had never sat down to before.
The viands were vision, and the cham
payne was something SO far ahead OF
lincolnshire" as beverage that Hon.
Reuben wondered if it could be an
earthly product.

when the time came and he had led
up 20 the point, Il want to say 1 like
you because you are an honest man."

dollars for your vote on the Blank bill,
and told him that it was folly to ap-
proach YOU on such subject. l knew
you, at least. were not that kind of a
man, whatever some of your colleagues
might be, and that never would make
You such an offer. No, sir; never" and
the host bowed before the member from
Hayseed.
The atmosphere was slowly but sure.

Especial washington letter.


II can think only of the days of my
boyhood," says Calhoun Clark, avener-
able Washingtonian long retired from
business, who has many friends and is
highly respected.
Il have reached that period in life
when my recolIections of the long ago
are more vivid than the recollections OF
yesterday and of last week. L read
when a young man that in advanced
age the memory would play such
freaks, and now realize that am an
old man, for / think constantly OF the
days before the war.
Just at present there is particular
reason for this action of my brain,
which you will readily understand.
Not so very long ago attended the
funeral of the late Senator justin
Smith Morrill, of Vermont in the sen
ate chamber; and as gazed upon MS
venerable features my mind went back
to the year 1856, when he first came to

congress as a member of the house OF
representatives. / was page boy
then, and was growing too large for
the business, and soon afterwards they
gave me mans position which held
for some time.
"When Senator Morrill, came to con-
gress he was one of the most striking
figures I had ever seen; and, in fact,
have never since seen any man OF finer
physique or more intellectual appear
ance. In the coffin saw the shriveled
form and features of very old man.
In the house of representatives l used
to look up to a man six feet four inches
tall, with broad shoulders and perfect
ly proportioned. He had heavy wavy
black hair and abundant black whis-
kers, while his carriage was that OF a
giant. He. was by far the most attrac-
tive looking man in congress. saw
him as he advanced in position until he
became chairman of the committee on
ways and means, when the tariff act of
the civil war was named after him. In
those days he was sent for very often
by President Lincoln, who consulted
him on all matters of great Importance,
Just as President Mckinley has been
in the habit of recently seeking coun-
sci of the late Chairman Dingley on
financial and revenue matters. He was
very great man, and was always re-
garded as very good man, too.
Il remember when he was elected to
the senate, and what splendid recep-
fion he had on the floor of the house of
representatives, when that honor was
conferred upon him. The leaders Of the
house regretted to lose him. and yet
they were sincerely glad of his eleva-
ton to the upper house of congress, be-
cause his abilities warranted the adj
vancement. Besides, while he was the
leader on the floor of the house, in
stead of making political enemies, as
sc many leaders have done, he was for
ever increasing the number of his sin
cere friends. by treating all men fairly.
There was another handsome man
in the house of representatives al that
time. 1t was George w. Jones. of Iowa.
He had been a representative from
Michigan, later from Wisconsin, and
finally from Iowa; and that state also
sent him to the senate. Gen. Jones had
been great Indian fighter. He was
man of splendid physique and very at
| tractive manners. He was a very warm

OUR LIVING ROOMS
sorae Ideas in Decoration Which
May BE of Use to House,
keepers.

II is nice to have house all books
and flowers and sunshine, but one Of
the most charming features of home
is its open fireplace.
/ should like to tell you of a very
original and delightfully."- gotten up
mantel and overmantel. To begin
with there was simply the square iron
CRATE set in the opening, then wooden
shelf was placed above on two strong
iron brackets, which had gathered
valance across the top, and curtain
to the floor at each end, of soft, silky,
old-rose material. Above this again
were placed two strongly made shelves
filled with books and a brass rod at
the top with two odd Turkish squares
for curtains drawn back at either end.
With branching brass candelabra
sscrewed in the ends of the shelves and
= few odd and inexpensive pieces of
bric-a-brac on the top, one has a very
beautiful and inexpensive mantel.
A very pretty decoration for mantel
is a black Irvine tennis net. A double
net is so long there is plenty of it with
which to make an artistic arrangement.
On tinted wall it is very effective.
Catch it below and on the picture mold
inc straight across the face of the man
tel and let fall to the floor at one side,
then up and along the wall. say to a
corner where there could be divan,
with this. caught about over small iron
rods for canopy.
With the addition of a black iron
lantern hung some place near, either
from an iron bracket or the ceiling,
the effect is most pleasing.
The pistures can be hung beneath it
or on it, or the net caught on the top
so they show. or i'm any way that suits
what one has BEST
Instead of having house a perfect
Nv bewildering assortment of bric-a-
brac and furniture, it is better to have
few good bronzes. a bit of porcelain,
lantern, some cantelahra, q Lakewood
chair, ! corner with cushions where
one can drink tea and eat little cakes
with ones friends, and not be afraid
of walking about for fear of knocking
over a table or fragile chair.-Naud
Ames, in What to Eat.
