Cannon got up and said that II had made

tried by a drumhead court martial and
shot When he had finished l got up and
said would Just as soon be shot in Manila
for making a speech Of that kind as to
be shot in congress by an old. smooth-bore,
brass Cannon from Illinois. Tom Reed
enjoyed that very much, and he shook
all over with suppressed laughter. He
came up to me afterward and said: That
was all right Jerry. I forgive you a lot
Of things for that
About that Dingley episode. II was not
I who discovered Dingley's hat; ii was
republican member Dingley used to wear a
fine plug hat that was a regular cloud OF
smoke by day and pillar OF fire by night
We popullsts used to take a shot at Il every
once in a while. When he was in the house
Dingley always kept It standing rim up on
corner Of his desk. One day a republican
happened to look into it and said to me,
Jerry, go over and look into Dingley's hat
| did SO, but didn't find any eggs OF any
thing and said so. l was told to look again.
Then l saw the word london and sailed
into Dingley. the high priest Of protection,
for wearing a London-made hat 1t was
in fun. but Dingley took the matter very
seriously, and spluttered and fumed and

Connecticut, and the London was put into it
to catch the dudes
Then I said, Well, caught dude from
Maine with it, He wouldn't speak to me
for a month on that account, but one day
went to him and said:
"'see here, Dingley. how much longer are
you going to sulk about that old hat bust

And he laughed and put out his hand
and we became good friends again. Reed

lie knew Il was a joke, and that his fell

The SOclIess Joke.
Victor Murdoo of Wichita, now represent
tative in congress from Simpsons old dis
trict, has been credited by some as tho
| originator Of the report that hosiery never
covered Jerry's feet. Murdoch wrote thu
| following purporting TO be an extract from
one of Simpsons campaign speeches:
| Ladies and Gentlemen: My opponent
| prince Hail." wears fine, soft, silk socks
| I have no money to buy silk hosiery. Th,
1 facts of the business are that l have NJ

And then to prove # Jerry, so the story
goes, elevated his pants" and displayed hi
bare "shanks."

most of it. When he went to washington

Passing of POpuIism.

IL was on his last visit to Chanute that
Mr. Simpson talked 70 the populist party
in a reminiscent mood. Talk about the
populist party being dead" he said. and
smiled. when we have converted Roose-
Welt and Taft! II Roosevelt had made
the speeches he is making now four years
ago he could not have been elected con-
stable in the most ignorant precinct on
Long Island. They are all coming our
way. They do not call themselves popu-
lists. but a rose by any other name smells
as sweet And I'll bet all the money in
New Mexico that if there had been a popu-
list supreme court in Kansas as there
ought to be, the will OF the people expressed
in the state refinery law would have
stuck"
And during the same talk half humorous.
half regretful. half argumentative, he said:
The country is not going to remain always
as IL is going now. It is rapidly getting TO
be case of the very rich and the very
poor. The farmer going to town TO stop at
a medium class hotel cannot find ii any
longer. He has to go either to the marble
palaces or to the cheap lodging houses.

THE old party which gave Kansas such
reputation as she has not enjoved since

of her being robbed of $500 in a New York
/ hotel That is all convincing evidence she
is no longer popuist, because in the old

caught with that amount OF money any
where close TO his residence. Harris is
president Of some oattlemen's association.
Little is prosperous and back TO his old

JERRY SIMPSON.
Medicine Lodge, Kansas.
Congressman-elec big Seventh. II
N. B.-"No Socks"

In the early days OF his official life Jerry
was embarrassed by the receipt of more
than 800 pairs of hose. About one-third of
his stock was a present from a woollen
mill in Fort Scott, Kan. They were ac-
companied by a card in which 1t was ex-
pressed rather delicateIy that the manager
hoped from the bottom of his heart and
pocket that the recipient would ever be
found on the side of protection to the
woollen mill industry in its many branches.
There is reason to believe that later Jerry
regretted the "sockless' story. Wherever
he went he was besieged by impudent per-
sons who questioned him regarding his
dress-or lack OF It, The story is told that
in Washington an inquisitive woman sought
an introduction to the Kansas statesman
and after the presentation asked:
Mr.. Simpson. is it really true that you
wear no hose?"
Jerry's reply, which was evasive. has
not been preserved. The woman, not yet
satisfied, then continued. falteringly:
Its an unusual request, know, Mr..
Simpson, but would you mind showing
me whether you really wear them or
not?"
mot in the least, madam" Simpson re-
piled. graciously. Then he added: "And
you will reciprocate, Of course?"
A somewhat similar incident was enacted
few years later in a hotel in Excelsior
Springs, whittier the ex-representative had
gone to cure himself Of an ailment induced,
he said by drinking alkaH and gypsum
waters In his part OF the country" The
news OF his presence reached the parlor
and few women guests hustled out to
look at the last signature on the register
"Oh." giggled one of them, addressing
the clerk IT wonder II he wears socks?"
| Simpson, who was standing near. over.
| heard the question. The women al
| laughed at the well-worn witticism, but
they stopped suddenly when Jerry said
quietly TO the clerk: II wonder IL they
wear stoclkings?"
