Vernon County censor. [volume] (Viroqua, Wis.) 1865-1955, 1902-08-06

On either side of the United States
Senate chamber is an ancient snuffbox
--one for Republicans and one for Demo
Gratis. The boxes are survival OF the
old-time habit of snuff taking, which
was almost universal In the eighteenth
centuiy among persons of fashion and
pu6lie men. The habit persisted wen
through the first half of the nineteenth
century, but during the past fifty years
SNUFF has gone out of style. The Senate
boxes, however, remain. and ii appears
that they are kept filed. Senator Vest
Of Missouri and Senator Harris of Kan
sas, who formerly used the boxes occa-
sionally, have broken off the habit, and
Senator Pettus is now their solitary pat
ron. He is the last of the snuff takers
in that historic body at least.
