Tom Harris looked at him sternly as

poured the water over her face and be-

a moments hesitation, with little
tremor Of tenderness softening the
roughness Of the words:
II don't know nothing about you, cir,

little innocents need all our care"
The man he addressed turned fierce

The boy crept along wonderingly to
the sailors side, and mechanically his
father followed, and began chafing the
polished little limbs, until with his
earnest exertion came back to his face
calm, sad, but no longer bitter look.

understanding his embarrassment,
encouraged him with cries Of Go on,

said in q low voice; Ladies and
gentlemen, l should be glad to CON

he sat down amid hearty round OF

Longest Continuous Term Has Been
That Of Allison of Iowa.
With the advent of the new year
and Senator William B. Allison of
Iowa still in his seat, his mind as
fresh, his body as active and his ca
pacity for work as great as ever, he
now holds the record for the longest
continuous service in that august
body. What is more. his present term
does not expire until 1909. And if
his health continues good he will seek
reelection.
Senator Allisons record to this date
is thirty-one years, nine months and
twenty-six days. Until two days ago
the late Senator Morrill, held the rec
ord for the longest continuous serv-
ice. While Senator Allison holds the
longest continuous service record, he
has not as yet attained the longest
actual service record. which belongs
to the history of John Sherman.

Though the invention failed, the news
paper lived for a short time as the
Universal Register, and it became the
Times on Jan. /, 1888. Walters first
declarations show how accurately he
had OWNED the conditions of success.
His ideal paper was to give something
for all tastes, it was not to be merely
commercial nor merely political, it was
to represent public opinion generally,
not any particular party, and it was
never ito offend the ear OF delicacy.1
