In on the 4th OF March two or three ad-
ditions TO the corps Of little men. One
of these, George s. Nixon, Of Nevada,
is probably the smallest man In stature
In the senate. He Is even smaller than
Alice, of Delaware, and that is saying
a good deal. Mr.. Nixon comes to the
senate, however. bearing reputation
of unusual ability as a lawyer and q
man of affairs, and he is counted on to
take a place in the front rank Of the
strong men in the senate.
Another short man who has just come
In is Bob" La Toilette, of Wisconsin,
the strenuous governor and the success
full fighter of the stalwart wing of the
republican party. He matches his COL
league in stature, as Senator Spooner
is also below the normal height Of man.
II La Toilette had had two or three
more inches in height he would never
have been heard Of in the political
world and would never have come to
the senate. His earliest ambition was
for the stage, and he developed histrion-
ic ability of rare quality, but rs he
wished to play tragedies. his diminutive
height was an insuperable bar to ca
reer In that line.
other small men in the senate are
Piles, Of Washington; Martin. Of Vir-
ginia; Alice, of Delaware. and Knox, Of
Pennsylvania. The latter has always
been represented as an extremely d.
minutive man, physically. but he over
tops in stature at least four of his COL
leagues in the senate.

the house and also in the senate. He
had as his colleague in the senate Mr..
Coke, and they were picturesque pair
both being large, massive men physical
ly, and very ponderous in their manner
of speaking.
Mr.. Reagan will be remembered more
particularly because he was the last
member of the confederate cabinet, and
on his death all that body have passed
away. He was postmaster general I'M
der Jefferson Davis, and was the only
one of the cabinet who was captured
with Jefferson Davis. He was confined
for many months in the military prison
at Fort Warren. He had many confer
ences with President Johnson, Secretary
Seward, Henry Wilson, afterwards vice
president; James Speed and others on
the subject of reconstruction. In the
light of the history Of that period and OF
the years since. the wisdom Of many
of Mr.. Reagan's suggestions is appar-
emit. He wrote an open letter to the
people of Texas advocating laws for
the protection of negroes, which should
grant them civil rights and limited po-
litical rights, with an educational quail
flcation. His own people misconstrued
his ideas, and he was retired from poll
tics for several years, but was elected
to congress in 1874, and for the Two sue
ceeding terms.

war, which was waged nearly 60 years
ago. And yet there are two veterans OF
that war who are doing full service In
the United States senate and affording
irrefutable argument against DR.. 0s-
lers theory that mans greatest achieve
ments occur before he is 40. and that
men are useless at GO and should be
chloroformed. These two interesting
characters are Senators Pettus, Of Ala
bama and Senator Bate, Of Tennessee.
Senator Pettus will be 81 years of age
on the 9Th of next July, but is still bale
and hearty and mentally and physically
strong. He is only two removes from
the revolutionary war, as his mother
was daughter Of Capt. Anthony Wins
ton, of Virginia, famous revolutionary
soldier. On the breaking out OF the
Mexican war, Mr.. Pettus entered as q
lieutenant and did valiant work. He
came back from Mexico. and just to
show the stuff he was made of and the
hardy life that men Of that period de-
lighted to live, he Joined a party of his
neighbors and rode on horseback to
California. He was 40 years old when
the civil war broke out, and entered the
confederate army as major, rising in
rank to a brigadier general Of infantry.
