 Senator Fairbanks at Home.
 Senator Fairbanks lives at Washing ineton in a big house on the corner of Massachusetts avenue and Eighteenth street. His home there was built by Senator Van Wyck of Nebraska and was occupied. for a time after Van Wyck left Washington. by Chief Jus tice Fuller, after which it came into the hands of Fairbanks. The Sena- tors hame here is a large two-story and attic cottage situated on North Meridian street, just across the way from the residence of Gov. Durbin and within a short distance of the old home of Benjamin Harrison. The house
 is surrounded by magnificent trees,
 which evidently stood here when Indi- annapolis was a village cut out of the woods. It has velvety lawn about 1t, and. as the Senator and myself sat up-
 on the porch. we could see the red squirrels running from tree to tree and hear the birds singing. The whole street, in fact is one succession of lawns. It looks like great park sha- ded with forest trees and spotted with | beautiful houses. The Senator owns several large lots above his house and, therefore. has about as much room as though he lived in the cuntry.
 The interior of the house is well built. but simply furnished. It feels homelike and looks as though people lived there The library interested me most. It is not large, but 1t Is hung with pictures and walled with books, and both books and pictures breathe | forth Fairbanks. The pictures are photographs of his friends and the books are those he likes best and stud
 ies most. As you enter you see the Ma poleonic features of President McKin- | ley and the sturdy, strenuous face of President Roosevelt looking down up- on you. At the right of Roosevelt Is

There ara nbotographs here of the capitol at Washington, of the senate cnamoer and of the national conventions and other great bodies of which Fairbanks has been a part.

 coals dropped out, and within few
 seconds the cabin was ablaze. The fire was between him and one door,
 and he tried to force his way out the other, which was damned up with lumber. He was burned slightly before he succeeded in getting through. He was, however, more frightened than hurt, and pale as the snow on the
 ground he made his way into the room where the family were dtnning and said: Mama, I guess the carpenter shop will burn down."

He then told me that his work as a farmers boy had been of service to him all his life, and he said he thought 1t paid a boy to be born on a | farm. Said he:

 next generation are now among the
 farmer boys of today A few. 1t is true,
 may come from the city, but the ma iority will be from the country" It is hard knocks and hard work
 that develop character" continued the Senator, "and the boy who has these is better off than he who has them not. The city boy has too few difficulties to contend with, and doubt whether 1t is an advantage for a boy to be born rich. remember once hearing par ty of famous men telling of their suc- cess in life. One after another de- scribed the trials he had had and the steps up which he had climbed to fame and fortune. At last spoke the most eminent of them all. saying: T am en- titled to more credit than any of you for I was born rich and I have succeed ed, in spite of my riches"
 How Fairbanks Get His Education.
 At that same time Senator Fair banks told me how he got his educa- ton, saying that he had largely work ed his way through college. although his father might possibly have been able to have furnished all the money. Said the Senator;
 T was brought up to think that work was a part of the duty of man. Every enc in our community worked and every boy expected to do his share learned all kinds of farm work and
 also how to handle tools. Indeed.

Mckinley was a better Presi- dent for having been a lawyer, ana Harrison filled his place in the White House all the more faithfully through the training of his law practice" At that time I asked the Senator
 whether the poor young man of today
 had as much chance at the bar as in the past. He replied:
 He has If he is the right man. Our law practice has to a certain extent been divided up into spec!alities, but the opportunities for success are as
 great, if not greater than they have 1 ever been"

Fairbanks in Indianapolis.

FH1EDdAM8 Im Am0hGm8ROEk8s
 Senator Fairbanks has spent the greater part of his professional life In Indianapolis. He came here shortly after he graduated to attend a con- vention of his college fraternity and ; so liked the town that he settled in it when he had finished his study of the law He had influential friends in the city and through them soon developed a large practice. He became interested in railroad matters, was made the re- ceiver of a railroad which was in a bad way. and rapidly rose to a good busi- ness position and a comfortable in- come. For a number of years he was one of the leading lawyers of this part of the country, and when he gave up the law to go to the United States Sem ate he had perhaps the largest and most profitable practice of the west. He told me once that he was then at the top of the harvest time of his pro- fessional career; but that he cut off his practice to devote himself to the pub lie. His investments had, however, been good and his fortune was great enough. although it did not quite equal the million dollars with which he is credited. to enable him to live com fortably on his income.
 The Law For Young Men.
 once asked Senator Fairbanks whether he thought the law had help ed him in his political career. He re- piled that it had. and spoke at length about the law as necessary part of every young mans education. Said he:
 Many people look upon the law as a mysterious science, as something to be approached with fear and trembling. The truth is the law is merely the rule of common sense applied to the right or wrong in human conduct. Every man should know something of 1t. and if he is a business man he should know a great deal I do not mean that he should be his own lawyer, for you know the old saying about the man who is his own lawyer having fool for

I have seen him here at his home and have just had talk with him about some personal and public matters upon which he does not wish to be quoted. His position is different now than 1t has been in the past. He feels its responsibility and does not like to answer personal ques- tions for fear he may be looked upon as playing to the galleries. He is however, a most interesting character and I will sketch him as best I can.
