recently amused his friends by re-
counting some Of the FRANKS he and
his brothers used to play when his ia

ger brother, Kermit, were attentive lis
teners. The next night the youngsters
jumped from their beds and, scamper-
ing downstairs reached the basin,
where they padded in the water to
their hearts content.
Next morning one of the servants
found, carefully tucked away, two
pairs of small pajamas, wet and dis
colored with mud. Mrs. Roosevelt in

asked Ethel

Aged and Feeble Senators.
The death of Senator Quay, follow
ing SO soon after that of Senator Han
ma, emphasizes the fact that the sen

Der of members physically feeble. The
average age of the senators, statistics
show, Is not so high as it has been at
times In the past, but this is due to the
considerable number Of young men

Of the older states are represented by
men who have grown decrepit in the
public service.
