Frozen faith is effective only IN

Men who spend their time knocking

The Things of life are likely to get

God never calls man to command
until he has learned to obey.
Most men are made by their enc

No man wanders more easily than
he who watches only another's ways

LAS VEGAS. N. NJ, March 7.--Sen.
ator VIM. d. Allison OF Iowa now holds
the record of representing his state
continuously in the United States sen,

The longest time any one man has
served without a break In the senate
since II government was organized,
Col. +. A. Blake OF this city was
among the younger members OF the
Iowa legislature in 1871 and 1879, and
helped very materially by his vote and
influence TO elect Senator Allison
when running for his first term In the
senate. The colonel says It was a live.
ly political fight we had on hand that
year to get Allison into the senate,
but that he would not mind taking
part again In a similar one some time
In New Mexico In case he could feel
sure that the fight would be to secure
as good and able a representative for
New Mexico In the United States sen,
ate as Allison has proved to be for
