Fifteen years ago We often sold
more silk hats in q day than We now

should tale the white Of an egg and
whip it to foam. Upon this she should

We were sitting yesterday At din

composedly and without the least ap-
prehension Of any such intrusion In
our snug parlor. one lady knitting, an
other netting. and the gentleman
winding worsted. Suddenly, to our
unspeakable surprise, q mob appeared
before the window. A smart tap was
heard at the door. the boys halloed,
and the maid announced Mr.. GrenVille.
Candidates are creatures not very sus-
ceptible to affront, and would rath-
er, suppose, climb in at the window
than be absolutely excluded.
In q minute the yard, the kitchen
and the parlor was filled. Mr.. Gren-
vile advanced toward me, shook me
by the hand with n degree Of cordial
ity that was extremely seducing.
As soon as he and as many more as
could find chairs we're seated, he be-
gan to open the intent Of his visit. I
told him | had no vote, for which he
readily gave me credit. assured him
I had no influence, which he was not

about the mouth and lower portion Of the
face. Every mother should see that her
child keeps the mouth shut and breathes

should at once find out the cause and
have It removed. The North Ameri-
can Indians. perhaps. did not realize the
wisdom and benefit of their habit Of
keeping the mouth shut and insisting
upon their children doing the same. But
whatever their reason may have been
for this custom Of always keeping the
mouth shut, they had at least stumbled
upon q habit more conducive to health
than the average man or woman Of to-
day can possibly realize.
Keep your mouth shut; breathe
through your nose, says Medical Talk.

Get into the habit Of breathing through

when 1t is absolutely necessary to open

Jacob Burkett, Of Nebraska, will be
sworn in on the 4th Of March as q SEN
ator from that state as the successor
Of Senator Dietrich. Mr.. Burkett was
born December l, 1867. This makes
him about four years younger than Mr..
Bailey and about five years younger
than Mr.. Beveridge, Of Indiana, who
has been a close second to Bailey for
the distinction Of being the most youth
full member Of the senate.
All three of these young men might
pass for having fewer years than they
can lay claim to. Mr.. Beverage IN
doubtedly is at the present time the
most youthful looking man in the sen
ate. He is of rather fair complexion,
with dark brown hair, smooth face, and
is boyish in his manner and in his feel
ings. Although Mr.. Bailey is a year his
Junior, the Texan has q diEnifed bear
ing and a thoughtful expression that
adds to his age, although his face is
smooth and as red-cheeked as q boy
of is. His deliberate manner and
thoughtful expression are those Of q
man well on in middle life. He, how
ever, was born on October 6, 1863, while
Mr.. Beverage was born on the same
day In 1862.
Mr.. Burkett would easily be taken
for Mr.. BeVeridge's senior. He has a
rather heavy, dignified appearance and
Is very formal in his address. He rep
resents the possibilities Of the Amer
lean boy and his biography shows that
he has won his senatorial togs by merit
and hard work. He was born on farm
in Iowa and had the usual experience
Of Q western farmer lad with ambitions
that looked beyond the cornfeld. He
taught school in Nebraska and read law
at the state university Of that state, be-
ing admitted to the bar in 1893. He
was elected to the state legislature in
1895 and served three terms IN congress.
