ri day the galleries
were filled to over
~ ~fowing with women
who had gone thith-
er In the hope OF
seeing the illustrious guest of the ma
ton. A few minutes before the prince |
entered the chamber there was a COM
motion in the reserved gallery on the |
Republican side of the chamber. |
doorkeeper, followed by robust look |
ing man, walked down the steps to |
seat which commanded an excellent |
view of the chamber. An old lady oc- |
cupied 1t. The doorkeeper whispered |
a few words to her and she reluctantly |
arose and looked around hopelessly for |
another seat The robust looking man
settled himself comfortably in the seat
and was soon lost in the debate then
in progress. The old lady finally Sc
cured the doorkeeper's permission to
sit on the steps Of the gallery. How
ever. she could not remain In that
cramped position long and was going
from the gallery when a young woman
gave her a seat. No one seemed to
think there was anything extraordi-
nary in the fact that a man had crowd
ed the old woman out, because the ro-
bust looking individual was none other
than J. Pierpont Morgan, the banker,
trust magnate and art patron.
Everybody remembers the old nurs-
cry rhyme, beginning:
There was little girl,
Who had little curl
Right in the middle OF her fore
head"
n,tit a CON-
| Rressmen in the house who are just
| like the little girl. Representative
| Fowler Of New Jersey, for instance.
| has the very prettiest kind Of a curl
| right in the middle of his forehead.
| It falls over his noble brow In neglige
style and gives him a jaunty appear
ance. Congressman Joys curl ts not
80 pronounced, but unquestionably
adds to the beauty of his appearance
CONGRESSMAN Burleson's lock Of hair Is
quite perceptible, even from a distance.
and is delicately balanced directly over
his nose. But the finest curl Of all
belongs to Congressman Zenor of Ohio.
It is a beauty bright. 1t is tuft OF
hair with a reddish tint which juts
out from his commanding brow, totally
separate from the rest of his hirsute
mountain side. When he is delivering
a speech the little tuft Of hair bobs UP
and down. keeping time to the waving
of Mr.. Zenor's arms.
Representative Wheeler of Kentucky
entered the house barber shop recently
and hung his collar upon peg while
ha was In a chair. Representative
Dtnsmore of Arkansas came In and
hung his collar upon an adjoining peg
The two collars rested side by side un-
til Mr.. Wheeler left the barber shop
When he went out Dinsmore's collar
was around his neck.
A few moments later Mr.. Dinsmore
was engaged in the difficult task o
attaching Wheelers collar to his shirt
He struggled, and, were it not for hi:
angelic temper, might have uttered
language unfit for publication. AS i
was he was about to go upon the foo
of the house with a handkerchief tiet
around his neck, when Mr.. Wheeler re
appeared.
Il have got somebody's collar" h.
remarked.
"I should say you had replied Dins
more. And l say, Wheeler he added
"I have heard it said that when a mai
gets into congress he ought to keep hi:
hands on mis- pocketbook. l never knew
before that he ought to keep his cola
around his neck
Miss Louise Jones, niece of Postmas
