Senior Quesada, Cuban minister, is probably
the most persistent and regular pedestrian
on Pennsylvania avenue. He is generally
accompanied by his little ones, who form
an animated and merry group as they tod
Gle along beside their father asking innum-
cradle questions and apparently delighted
with all that is transpiring before their ex-
pressive, wonderful black eyes. This party
always attracts attention, and the minister
seems proud of his escort and encourages
them by animated conversation In their
own musical language.
Speaker Cannon finds the walk to and
from the Capitol every day the most
joyable period of his existence. He steps
along at gait which would tax the en-
durance and energy of many younger men

ton of other pedestrians. Uncle Joe could

ally stops to exchange greetings with those
nod ha
and insist upon a brief interchange of cour-
tesies. He is always good natured on sucn
occasions and takes these interruptions OF
his Journey in good part, but as soon as
the conversation Is ended he Is off like a
quarter horse. with the Senate chamber as
his goal He Is tireless walker and gets
over the ground at a gait which would keep
an ordinary pedestrian in a dog-trot 10 re-
main alongside.
