Two of the best story.tel
in the senate will return to pri,
vate life with the passing of
this congress. George Graham
Vest, of Missouri, whose wit
and stories have enliveued the
cloak rooms for the last twenty
years, will end his public career
and at the same time John p.
Jones, of Nevada, will retire.
While Senator Vest was bril-
liant on the floor, he was witt
est in the smoking room. When
surrounded by a group of APP.
preciative listeners he would
tell stories and make iests by
the hour. Senator Jones also
has not kept his fun under a
bushel. He is extremely serious
and pr ofound in debate, but in a
free and easy discussion in the
cloak room his quaint humor is
second to that of no member of
the senate.

The latest instance is that of
the millers of the Northwest,
