wasp, singing this n and that, and
raising a commotion generally. Mr..
Chandler wearied sometimes of the
dullness Of the senate, and he would
purposely start a turmoil, in order to
liven things up. On a particularly dull
day, Chandler would nervously twist
about in his chair, glance up at the
press gallery, and, if he noticed some
of his newspaper friends there, would
give them a glance, as much as to say,
"look out for some fun"
Then the Senator would inject him
self into the debate, no matter what it
was. and he was invariably able to stir
UP the opposition and precipitate a
vitriolic controversy. 1t did not matter
what subject was under discussion,
Chandler could always use it as an ex-
cuse for saying something that would
stir up the democrats. When Senator
"Ben" TilIman first came to the SEN
ate he was Chambers particular
victim. Tillman did not under
stand Chandler, and looked upon
the latter as possessing all the
narrowness and partisanship that the
| southerners had been led to believe
| characterized New Englanders. 1t was
the rule, therefore, when Chandler
| prodded the democrats that Tillman
would respond and get quite excited.
The South Carolinian would get red in
the face, and denounce various policies
| that Chandler and northerners stood
| for, and before the excitement vas over
half a dozen senators would be mixed
I'D, and some pretty tart repartee would
be INDUCED.
After getting things moving along
to his satisfaction and having set a
number of his colleagues by the ears,
Chandler would quietly slip from the
chamber, chuckling over the row he
had precipitated.

custom to have his breakfast table set

Nothing like this toothsome dish had
ever appeared on a Washington table.
Its fame spread far and wide, and Sem

Two or three times a week Presi-

Hanna's house, and in the bracing
spring air, amid the flowers, listening
to the music of the birds and revelinS
in the celebrated hash, the late presi-

the south side OF the white
house is admirably adapted for these
open air meals. Awnings protect the
table from the glare Of the sun. but
the breezes blow across the portico
while the songs Of the birds, in the
trees that shade the mansion and the
scent of the flowers from the white
house lawn add to the pleasure of the
repast.
The president and Mrs. Roosevelt Of
ten have a number of friends to break
fast on the south portico of the white
house. Occasionally luncheon is served
completely out of doors, but that is
purely a family affair, and is largely
in the nature of a picnic on the green
lawn. The president is also very fond,
after a tiresome days work in the
executive offices, and a vigorous ride
or walk through the suburbs. of sit
ting down to dinner or this broad
porch, where the breezes, sweeping
up the Potomac, make the atmosphere
delicious and cool, while the picture
stretches of the white house grounds

placid Potomac and the green
and the Mall Immediately in front OF
him, affords him the deepest pleasure.
These o%ut-of-door dinners are fingered
over with great satisfaction, and the
guests often sit there smoking and
chatting until the twilight fades into
the night.

public question Of any kind arises that
does not interest Chandler, and on
which he does not have his ia in
one form or another, and to which he
does not usually contribute illuminat-
ing thoughts and good advice. On the
other hand, there is hardly a popular
subject which does not afford Chandler
a vehicle for his well known wit and
satire.
The ex-senator has been having a
lot of fun recently with candidates for
the presidential nomination in 1908.
He first sat down and wrote a letter
to Vice President Fairbanks in which
he praised the latter's ability as a
statesman, expressed admiration for
his conservatism, predicted great popu-
larity for him as a candidate, and
wound up by saying that he. Fair
banks. was the ideal candidate for the
presidency in 1903. In a minute
hand Chandler added a postscript to
the effect that he had written a similar
letter to Secretary Taft, Secretary
Shaw, Postmaster General Cortelyou
and Senator Foraker. Mr.. Fairbanks
did not at first notice this postscript,
and he sat down and wrote a very ap-
preciative reply to Mr.. Chandler, thank
ing him for the expressions of conf
dence he had uttered, and saying that
there was no warrant for the public use
of his name in connection with the
presidential nomination. but he was
very grateful to Mr.. Chandler tor the
latter'S preferred support.
The waggish statesman did write
similar letters to all the other candi-
dates. but attached the qualifying post
script, and they all appreciated the
humor, as did Mr.. Fairbanks when his
attention was called to the little joker.
Secretary Shaw cut the postscript off
his letter and sent word to Chandler
he was going to use the latter in MS
campaign, and exploit the New Hamp-
shire man as the original Shaw man.
