Speaker Henderson's refusal
OF denomination to the figty-

most profound political sensation
the national capital has expe-
riencod IN many years. It has
been the Que snbject here today
and many assert their belief that
General Henderson will recon-

Jubilation reIgns at Democrat
lc campaign headquarters, where
it is claimed its effect will be the
election of 80 new Democrats to
the house this fall.
Secretary Shaw and Secretary
Wilson have both been stunned
by the announcement and are at
loss to explain the speakers
coulse. Many Republicans here
are Indignant that he should have
taken a step So vitaIly affecting
the welfare of the party without
consulting any Of the Repu blican
leaders.
BY some it is said that Spe aker
Hen!erson's chances for 70 elec

for declining. Friends of the

Charles Curtis of Kansas.
Through a most romantic career
he has climbed the lrddar Of
fame from a poor Indian lad to
a position Of prominence among
national lawmakers. He started
out III life as a jockey on the race
track, then trained broncos, drove
a hack, swept out a law office in
pay for an opportunity to study
law, was admitted TO the bar,
elected county attorney, and then
to congress.
Mr.. Curtis, says the Omaha
World Herald, belongs to the alb
original race, and ls proud of the
fact that his Indian forbears wer.
here when Columbus thought he
discovered a New World. His
mother was # the Kaw tribe.
Mr.. Curt.s's mother died when he
was abou three years old, and he
went to live with hls Indian
grandmother near Council Grove,
Kan. This Indian grandmother ls
mentioned In the treaty with the
Rew tribe In 1925.

mounted on their ponies, swoop
down from hill overlooking the
town and dash through it toward

passed this barn. A fierce show

CnrrYinr Mail i'm Alaska.

Oscar Fish, of Valdez, Alaska. who
was recently awarded for another pc
riod of years the contract for carry
ing the United States mails from Val
dez to Eagle receives $4,000 a year for
making two trips a month between
the two points, distance of about 413
miles. The mail carried is limited 10
300 pounds, and consists generally of
letters only. Post office department
officials say, however. that the sum
paid him is reasona bic, when it is con-
sidered that he makes his trip by dog
sled and that he has the most dan
gerous route of any mail carrier in
the world, and that his trips keep him
busy most of the time. He practically
takes his life in his hands every time
that he starts out on his solitary jour
ney.
