tory. OF late years he has been law
ger here in Washington, scarcely more
chan a memory of the robust congress-
man who contested the nomination for
the spealsership with Crisp and Mills, and
who afterwards stirred the economies
with his famous series of pop-gun tariff
bills carrying out the democratic scheme
to revise the tariff one item at a time.
Personally, Springer was lovable
man, without even remote sense of
humor Probably it was the latter fail
ing that made him one of Tom Reeds
pet diversions when the great speaker
was the leader of the republicans in the
house.
Two of Reeds most famous shafts
were thrown at Springer. One was in
a debate while Reed was still holding
secondary rank in the house. Spring
er, who was rather ponderous speak
er, had made the remark that he would
rather be right than be president. Reed,
standing in the middle aisle, drawled
back: THE gentleman need not be
alarmed. He will never be either"
The other was conversational quip:
springer never opens his mouth that
he doesn't subtract from the sum of
human knowledge"
1t is not to be wondered at that there
should not have been any great sym
pathy between two men of such widely
opposed temperaments. 1t was large
ly matter of taste with each of them,
and concerning taste there is no use in
arguing.

for you"
Don't mention Christmas presents

velvet. "You see, we haven't as much
money as | need myself, so have to
send handsome presents to make other
people think 1 have"
How sad! Personally, 1 take tho
money I've saved and buy a lot of
things | just can't part with. Then
I tell everybody that giving Christmas
gifts is out of date-and isn't it good
thing, since it was such vulgar GUS

But you're rich enough to make
people call you eccentric when you do
such things; they would merely say
that | couldn't afford them"
by the way, Frances asked me to-
day if you were not obliged to econ
omize dreadfully. I'm very charitable,
so said I thought not, since you
never paid cash for anything if you

Depot stones throw
from the capitol, will be built of white
grantee peculiarly white and daz-
cling stone, quarried at Bethel, VT,
which will surpass marble in architec-
tural effect.
The station will face directly toward
the dome of the capitol, and the entire
facade will be clearly visible from the
capitol steps at the end of the broad
avenue. The architectural effects have
been drawn from the triumphal arches
of Rome. Sloping gently away from
the building will be plaza 500 feet wide
and 5000 feet long, adorned with balus-
trades and fountains, while there will
be terrace 100 feet wide surrounding
the structure.
The station itself will be 620 feet long
and from 65 to 100 feet in height The
three entrance arches, each so feet in
height. will be on a scale far surpass-
ing anything in Roman architecture.
The waiting-rooms will be dreams of
luxury compared with anything that has
ever before been suggested for a rail-
way station, and the dining-room will
be equal to anything that can be found
in first-class hotel There will be
all sorts of unusual conveniences. One
of these is an invalid's room, easily &C
cessble from the street
Another is special entrance for the
president of the United States Besides
there will be dressing rooms with baths
and n Turkish ha th aud swim mipo mol
The entire cost of the station with APP
proaches will be s14.U0000O of which
the government pays So 100000.

ocrats will do, they feel morally bound
to do it.
That is what Uncle Joe Cannon calls
legislation by unanimous consent, and,
of course, it is very reprehensible way
of doing business. But it is likely to
continue just as long as the present
senate rules live, which, according to
present appearances, will be to the end
of time.
German and Aldrich are very much
the same type of men. They are first
of all business men. They understand
the currents of trade and appreciate the
effect of legislation on commercial in
terests. They are organizers and deft
handlers of men. They can read char
acter and they can keep their own coun-
sci. They understand weaknesses in
others to which they can appeal. They
are always in the game.
German is more OF public speaker
than Aldrich. He is not an orator in any
way, but he has faculty of aggressive
ness in debate which Aldrich has never
shown. Aldrich when he talks uses
conversational tone, and goes about
it as if he were explaining something
before the board of directors of rail-
road. German is never exactly CONVEX
sational. There is always some little
touch of mystery in everything he says,
and his face is jesuitical in it's inscruta-
bility. Aldrich, on the other hand, is
seemingly the most frank and confiding
OF men. One wonders how it can be
that this smiling. easy-going, compan-
ionable fellow can have so many tricks
up his sleeve.

How to Make Excellent Use of Dis

This is attractive either on the lawn

fresh breezes. On the piazza it is of
the nature of fine old-fashioned settle.
