A farmer left to his eldest son one
half of his seventeen horses, to-his
second son one-third and to his third
son onc-ninth. The executor did not
know what to do as seventeen will not

Had there been attempt to consider

of Senator Mitchell 1t is likely that
there would have been objection.
There is precedent for such action,
for when Senator Broderick. of Cali

The Oregon Senator had been convict

members and has often exercised its

Senators from Oregon and Kansas.

Chance of a Lifetime.

IL was when Miss Roosevelt deter.
mined to accompany Secretary Taft's
party to the Orient that Mr.. Longworth
apparently saw his crowning opportu-
nifty, and he forthwith became one of
the party. Throughout the jaunt his
attentions to the daughter of the Pres

fore for in his wooing he had the ad-
vantage of being the only courtier in
the field.
Though his friends now say that
they had observed the CLINT of glori,
GUS victory in his eyes when he re-
turned from the long voyage, he never
conf1ded his triumph to soul and the
first information of the engagement
did not reach society until Mrs. Roose-
welt told 1t to few personal friends in

1t is expected that after their mar

a leisurely trip throughout Europe.
They will, of course, be certain of a
splendid reception everywhere, espe-

Miss Roosevelt has never been in
Europe, although she has had several
opportunities and invitations, notably
when she was invited by Mrs. White

There is to be another wedding in the

event in the history Of the mansion
1t is just about two years since Rep,

Mr.. Longworth's engagement to Miss

was rushed from his post. The ban
