asked for an explanation. Each scratched
his head and looked wise. Finally the face
of the cashier lighted up and he opened a
private cash drawer, counted out 500 in
greenbacks and threw the wad on the pile

" That makes it all right, guess he
remarked.
II asked him how he was going to enter
the 500 he had just put in to make the
balance on his books. He looked bewilder-

all.
"'You see,' he remarked, that drawer I
Just went into to make the balance is what
we call the outs and over drawer It's a
great thing. Whenever we're out of bal

apparent from the fact that In his own
state he stands equally well with Mr.. Plat
and the anti-machine wing OF his party.
Dolliver is n Story Teller.
Mr.. Dolliver of Iowa is one OF the best
known orators OF the House of Representa-
tives-a figure to be pointed out from gal
leries. He is dark haired. dark eyed, rudy
OF face and inclined to stoutness. He is
magnificently healthy. genial, expansive. q
teller of good stories, a man who enjoys
life.
By birth Mr.. Dolliver is a VIrginian and
there is decided old dominion twang to
the turn Of his tongue. His voice is mel
low and round and large. He is rhetorical,
he is Evolutionary. He is a famous CAM
paigner. He has been known to make one
hundred speeches in one hundred days.
Out of doors, in fair weather, is where he
care of his throat, and is never hoarse.
During the last campaign he says. he ran

canvas tent capable of seating $500 peo-

almost beyond endurance his physical and
mental energies.
His Speeches and Tastes.
He usually prepares his speeches for de.
livery in the House rather carefully, writs
ing them out, or debating them to a sten-
ographer. He confesses to a degree OF
stage fright before every speech, and thinks
he would have nervous prostration If he
knew too long beforehand when he should
address the House.
Mr.. Dolliver has hosts of friepds. and
likes to go among them. His tastes are
simple. He takes little heed of how he
shall be clad. and he has so little concern
about what is set before him to eat that he
would like to adopt the condensed food and
beer extracts of arctic explorers. He
