on Senator Beveridge with a success which redeemed him. His humor in discussing oratory in connection with the Indiana senator was crowned by splendid bit or sarcasm at the expense of both the senate and the republicans who are in favor oI taxing Porto Rico products. "I tell you, said he the senior or junior senator from Iowa, I do not know which, and the senior or junior senator from Maine, l do not know which, will have to take some action in reference to that orator. There Will have to be some caucus on the matter"
 The rest of the speech referring to Sena- tor Beveridge was scarcely less interest," ing and pleasantly, but effectively, satir- cal and so 1t was no wonder that when the aged speaker sat down he received the plaudits of the whole senate. Senator De- pew was the first to congratulate him, but those who are less quick than the distin- guished New Yorker to perceive humor and the power of satire were almost equally prompt in showering compliments upon the man from Alabama. The scene at the close of his speech goes far to prove as much for the claims concerning his right to a national reputation as anything that can be quoted from his speech. The country will greet his fame with cor dialty. It not only likes the idea of hay ing brains in the senate-Senator Pettus' allusion to Ovid suggests that he can make allusions to classical literature-but it re- joices or should rejoice at the rise of a man to prominence in that body or else where who can be humorous and still re- main clever and profound.

James whitcomb Riley a Rich Man

From the New York Mail and Express.
 hear that James Whitcomb Riley, what, with the royalties on his popular poems and the receipts from his readings, has become rich man. Good. Riley has great gifts as story teller. I recollect one even ing at a club hearing him tell two stories. One convulsed his hearers with laughter while the other moved them to tears. His stories, like his poems, are in many keys. When Riley and "Bill' Nye travelled to- gether giving a joint entertainment the humorist had great fun with the poet. Nye once in introducing Riley and himself to an audience in this city remarked ''I will appear first and speak until I get tired; then MT. Riley will succeed me and read from his own works until you get tired"

Senator Pettus as a Satirist
From the Providence Journal, Rep.

From the Providence Journal, Rep.
 That age sometimes lightly touches it's victims Is evident from the recent events in the life of Senator Pettus, who after almost four-score years of an active career on Friday last unquestionably clinched his claim to a national reputation. His speeches during the two years in the sen- ate have been few. But the remarks and questions which have come from him in debate had already stamped him as an unusually able man. In fact, he is one of the most distinguished and capable mem- bers of the senate from the south. This reputation has only become his during the last three weeks, but it Is going to be a permanent possession. His speech of Fri day showed him satirist In most of his previous utterances he has appeared as the acute and far-sighted legislator. One day not long ago, Senator Wolcott, speak ing in his most elegant style, asked him if he did not know that suck and s-ch a thing was so. Senator Pettus as cour- teously denied that it was and in such convincing sentences that after he had done the senator from Colorado had not a word to say. A few days later Senators Foraker and Allen were engaged in dis putting as to what was "the regular order" After they had talked for a time the sena- tor from Alabama calmly objected to their consuming the entire senatorial day Dragging one against the other" To this only Senator Allen could respond. He stated that he regretted that there was criticism of him and Senator Foraker for "congratulating ourselves slightly"
 That latter instance of Senator Pettus' acumen Is favorable introduction to his satrical speech of Friday. At that time he first made sally against Senator Gallin- ger, which was thoroughly successful and his application of story, told to illustrate the New Hampshire mans ignorance of the fundamental law, furnished him with an opportunity to make a sweeping charge against some other senators. That was not brilliant, but the senator at once turned

The Subtle Thing That Underlies snccess

The Subtle Thing T hat Underlies snccess Anna Farquhar in the National Maga-
 zine.
 Charm, charm that Is the essence of sue cess.
 The master, whether he be Napoleon or the captain of a high school battalion, commands the inexplicable obedience and admiration of those less gifted by means of some power his followers cannot de- scribe a power magnetizing them into subservence without any direct appeal to their reason.
 Undoubtedly there are many other ele- ments lending themselves to success; but taking them all in all they cannot stand firmly once bereft of charm.
 Many strong-willed people fail energetic people fail, moral people fail, but charm ing people succeed in some direction or another though perhaps not just as you or I desire to succeed.
 MT. Ruslkin's aesthetic reasoning was sometimes untenable but his force of charm surmounted any such defect; the color of his language defes criticism of his logic; the Jesuit priest often beguiled by poor logic clothed with insidious attrac- tions; hence, charm may be fatal and still remain one of the few positive quantities discoverable whenever man or woman has led either a wide or limited portion of the universe in his or her direction.

RADWAY'S PILLS IN AGONIZINC
 STOMACH TROUBLES.

Messrs. Radway & Co.
 Dear Sirs-I know a business man on the east side of town who has for years been -aiing and suffering agonizing pains in the stomach The doctors, from Prof Jaooby down to others by the dozens, could neither effect cure nor could they even tell what the malady was. He, a few years ago. crossed the Atlantic to consult German doctors, without result I used to cal lat his store every few months and heard his hale of woe. He said while Ill he was never lble to retain his food and at certain times of day he was attacked wtth an agoniEing pain which lasted an hour or so, when he acted as a madman, breaking chairs, etc, and having to give up business for the time being Food never staid in his stomach longer than half an hour. Yesterday, aftef . lapse of eighteen months. cSlled again and to my surprise he was still alive and i looking well. I asked after hts health. He said he has been well for over c year and has gained 40 pounds In weight. l wanted 10 know what doctor had cured him. This e what he told me: About a year ago or over, a man came to his store telling him he had been sick very much the same as he s vas for some time, and tried Railways PINS, which quickly cured him. He at once decided to use the pills The druggist did not have any and tried to give him another kind, but as he insisted on Radway'e, they were procured for him the next day. He only took one at night and he immediately felt better. He, kept up for a time to take the pills, and from the first day to this day fas inalady never returned.

as possible and pushing him a pole.
Clay's hands had become so stiff they
could not retain a hold on the silk
