SENATOR M'CUMBER LISTENS.

There is one senator who has not yet
spoken word, but whose personality
has become OF much interest TO ire
quenters of the galleries. Porter James
McCumber sits in the rear row on the
Republican side. He is the most regu-
lar attendant upon sessions that his
side Of the chamber has. No speech
is so dreary that McCumi~r does not
st ii out. More than that. his face as
sumes a most serious and attentive as
pect. From time TO time the North
Dakota man bends over the writing pad
on his desk and makes a few notes.
Then he raises his face and watches
the speaker intently. says the WASH
ington correspondent of the st. Louis
Globe Democrat.
The first time Senator McCumber
took notes. those who saw him were
sure he was going to make some re-
ply But he didn't. He has taken notes
every day, and he has not yet spoken.
When the chamber is full and business
is of general interest Senator McCum-
ber's devotion to debate does not at
tract attention. But when some sen-
ator is simply killing time. and five-
sixths of the seats are empty and no
body but Senator McCumber is llsten-
ing. the action of the North Dakota
statesman is impressive.

IN An A RlLAa % e.

Rev. David a. Carson. graduate OF
the Union Missionary Training Insti-
tute, Brooklyn. gives an interesting pic
ture OF his African home:
my room in a neat little hut OF mud
and thatch. is twelve by fourteen feet.
The bed is constructed with branches,
holes being augured in posts for the
sides and ends to be inserted. The sup
port for the grass mattress is of leather
thongs laced across both ways, thus
holding all secure.
MY chair Is the same. The table
and washstand are OF branches with
reed mat tops. There are no boards.
The desk is the same. with the inside
case of my steamer-trunk for top,
very good.
THE windows are Of white cloth,
tackled to a frame which can be opened
right back and fastened to the wall
Hinges for doors and windows are OF
skin. No mats or rugs are used on the
floor as they harbor insects"
Mr.. Carson IS member OF the Indus
ira mission OF the Phil
African Liberators league, located at
Lincoln, on the west coast, SAYS the
Presbyterian Banner. And the follow
teaching the African to work:
There is practically no routine here.
The unexpected most always happens.
Here is one day out of many varieties.
We rise with the sun, 5:S5 a. m. have
private devotions from to $3.50. then
breakfast, after which the rams horn
is blown for native roll-call.
"Our superintendent seats himself
outside his house, the associate work.
ers, six of us, stand beside him while
he rattles off the names TO which the
people shout 'Ame'-the personal pro-
noun /.
He then asks us how many help
ers we need in our various depart
ments. We begin TO calculate and he
calls those qualified for certain kinds
OF work, when there is a terrible bark
ing down in the valley and a shrieking
like that OF child.
Every man with a black or white
skin (black always firsD runs to In
vestigate, and there is n fine deer at
bay with three wild dogs barking at
1t. They see the rush of people. and
jealous OF their prey pounce on him and
tear him limb from limb in a twinkling
so strong are their mouths and should
ers.
THE rush OF natives on the poor dead
beast is more terrific. II would seem
than that of the dogs. They cut him
UP. Indifferent as 30 whether they have
a rib or steak or the tail or an ear
then march up the hill. blow up the
log fires and feast till all Is finished.

day--a days nay is gladly forfeited for
