in congress. But there is a question as to whether he is any more absent minded than Williams himself. Mrs. Williams tells two stories on this head. One morning the lord and master of the house wanted an elaborate spread in the evening, as he intended to in- vite judge and some prominent law yers to dinner The repast was ready, but no guests. Mir. Williams had for gotten to ask them. At another time the Democratic leader was in a hurry to get to the house and left without his breakfast. Mrs. Williams had to telephone for locksmith, as her ab. sentminded husband had locked her in.
 The crownlng instance of preoccupa- tion on the part of John Sharp, as he is universally called, is recounted by a fellow representative, however. Drop ping in to accompany Williams to some sort of banquet, he found him just finishing dressing and with his mind on something else. as usual We will let the congressman complete the story:
 "He had his vest and coat on when dropped in on him and was putting the finishing dabs to his necktie. Then he buttoned up his vest and turned to me. "'Say. do look all rightr he asked "'well. I've seen worse I told him, But, say, don't you think it would be the au fait kink for you to don a pair of-er-trousersF
 "Yep. he'd forgotten 'em. and be blushed a lot when I told him of his little oversight
 By George, he gasped when he had got fixed out all right, I'm glad that you happened to come in. old manr "
 Scientific cOOn Hunter. Mir. Williams home is at Yazoo. Miss Democratic candidates there are chosen by the primary system. When the fu ture leader was first running for con gress his opponent was a famous eoor hunter. a sport at which John SharT was not an expert. One county was practically lost to him for this reason so be saw that something had to D. done. Going into this county. the hrs' thing that met him was an invitation to hunt coons. He accepted witf alacrity. but explained that he was [ scientific coon hunter. Taking along 2 bunch of Roman candles. he fired thesl among the branches of the f-st tree iz which a coon bad taken refuge and literally scared the animal of t1s perch. Repeating this process eaci time the dogs treed the game. the huni was a record breaker. and Williams got almost the unanimous vote Of ths county.

 Of course I put myself at his dispos- nl, for, in truth, had eaten and drunk quite enough. But, seeming not to hear me, he looked upon the table, and at last, raising his eyes to mine and playing gently, but scarcely in nerv- ous fashion, with the forks before him, he said very quietly:

 The room was devoid of furniture save for rickety chair or two and was wholly destitute of carpet, so that eur feet rang loudly upon the stone floor.
