most notable of the retiring senators is
George Graham Vest of Missouri, who
is now serving the last few days of his
fourth full term. Senator Vest volun-
tarily relinquishes the toga which he
years. Others who will be missed are
Senators James X. Jones of Arkansas
and William E. Mason of Illinois. Jones
has represented Arkansas in the upper
house for eighteen years and has been
a leading light in the councils of the
Democratic party. Mason, aItnougn
serving his first term, has also achieved
national prominence.
But, as in the case of the dead king
and his successor. it is the incoming
ana not the Outgoing man IN whom the
public is interested. Some of the men
who for the first time will take their
seats in the upper house on the assem-
bling of the Fifty-eighth congress are
already known to fame. while others
have never been heard of outside their
own states.
Among the new senators with whose
names the public is more or less ia
miliar is Albert J. Hopkins, who for
eighteen years has represented the
Eighth Illinois district in the lower
house. Mr.. Hopkins is an example of
what well directed American ambition
may accomplish. His father was a
pioneer of Dekalb county, III, ana here
the future senator first saw the light
The early years of his life were spent
on a farm, and he received his first in

edge in the district school When not

ton at the woodpile and the barn ana
in the sundry other duties which make
the life Sf a farmer boy perpetual
round of pleasure. Later when he at
tended a more advanced school at Syca-
more he "chored'' for his board at the
house of the county seats miller.
He then entered Hillsdale college and
took a four years literary course, grad
uating in 1870. Among his classmates
were Will Carleton, the poet. and Bay
lis. the educator. After he left college
he. studied law, was admitted to the
bar and began the practice OF law In
Aurora, where he has since resided.
Mr.. Hopkins was elected to congress in
1885 and has since been regularly re-
turned. He is Republican.
William J. Stone, who succeeds the
veteran Vest, is an ex-governor of the
state of Missouri and by reason of his
position as vice chairman of the Demo
cratic national committee in the last
two presidential campaigns is a figure
of national note.
Ex-Governor Stone is a native of
Kentucky, but early in life left the
Blue Grass State for Missouri. he Is Il
graduate of the Missouri university and
a lawyer by profession. He was con-
spicuous in the Hayes and Tilden cam
paign and was a presidential elector.
Three times the Democracy of his
district .honored him by electing him
thefr- representative in congress. He
was member of the Forty-ninth, Fif-
tieth and Fifty-first congresses
In 1892 he was elected governor of
Missouri and served as chief executive
of the state for four years. Mr.. Stone

he demanded it ON his own merits. He
asked no ones permission to be n can
didate and sought no ones aid by prom
ises. Nevertheless he soon forged to the
front and in 1892 was elected attorney
general of the state. His official acts
as attorney general We're of such n ma
ture that in 1894 he was nominated for
governor with practical unanimity. He
was elected and declined a renomina-
ton.
One of the most talked about of the
men chosen to wear the toga is Reed
SmoOt of Utah. Mr.. SmOot is one of
the twelve apostles of the Church of
the Latter Day Saints. He is a mill
lionaire manufa cturer, and his position
of power in the community in which he
dwelIs is due as much to the fact that
he is one of the chosen twelve of the
Mormon church leaders as to any
money he has accumulated in secular
affairs.
Weldon B. Hepburn, the new sena-
tor from Idaho, is one of the most sue
cessful mining lawyers of the far
northwest. He was born and reared in
Pennsylvania and early began the
study of law in conjunction with
course in mining engineering.
Mr.. Hepburn is a bachelor, little
past the meridian of life. large of stat
ure, of fine appearance, with a soft yet
strong, well moduIated voice. The per-
sonification of dignity, there is a charm
about him that makes him the most

old gentleman-his name is Goudelby
Goodman-is Il millionaire, and with
his two beloved grandsons, Club and
Bunt, is spending n vacation at the
Green Mineral hotel. The old gentle
mans money and very evident good
nature attract the attention of Sig.
Colenna, an Italian adventures
with three picturesque broth
ers. She almost succeeds in trapping
grandpa, but fails, as a result of his
oyerhearing her schemes discussed
with her brothers. Sig. Bolero, ia
ciaI artist. makes himself up to re-
semble grandpa, and succeeds in pass
ing himself off on the adventures as
that gentleman, thereby clearing up
all difficulties instead of giving birth
to any. as might have been expected.
Perhaps nothing in Foxy Grandpa Is
so pleasant and so strongly brings out
the fun as the homely touch of hui
man nature which underlies all
the comedy. The love of the old gen
tIeman for his two bright grandsons
is evinced, not by maudling speeches,
but by the keen wit and good humor
with which he joins in their sports
and -usually-beats them at their
own games. Mr.. Baker has succeeded

mitted to pay anything. When the
real Prince of PiIsen, dashing young

companions they are ignored entirely
and cannot even secure room at the

attending the carnival of flowers. The
prince, annoyed. does not disclose his

The Bones OF George wiIkes.

The skeleton of the trotting sire
George Wilkes has been taken from
the grave of the noted horse at Ash
Grove farm. near Lexington, Ky. and
is now being mounted by state college
students in the museum. Various re-
ports have been printed regarding the
placing of the bones of the great
George Wilkes in the museum, but
now the work is actually under way.
The horse died in 1882, being twenty
seven years old, and his grave, at the
