and by the time he reached the age of
80 he was a member of the house of
representatives.
Mr.. Burkett had as an opponent in
his race for the senate no less a dis.
tinguished character than William
Jennings Bryan. The latter had the
united support of the democrats, popu,
lists and free silver republicans. There
was red-hot fight for the election of
members of the legislature, and Bryan
took advantage of every mistake the
republicans had made since they had
regained control of Nebraska, and
spoke in every district in the state
His fight was unavailing, however, and
Mr.. Burkett found at the end of the
campaign of 1904 that he had a ma.

of the United States, or many times

have grown to fifteen per cent. in

He has already shown that he is on
the alert by being in his seat and oc-
casionally propounding question dur
ing the preliminary skirmish on the
rate question. It is expected that Mr..
Knox will give a good account of him
self at this session as his service as
attorney general has Won for him the
respect and admiration of the big law
yers in the senate
Ordinarily new member in the sen.
ate does not take leading part in
the proceedings of that body during his
first congress, but where a man has
come from coordinate branch of the
government into this great legislative
body this restriction is not observed.
Mr.. Knox will be accorded a willing
and earnest hearing whenever he takes
the floor to discuss a bill. The fact
is that the lawyers of that body are
anxious for him to jump right into the
work of the senate and take part in
the proceedings on the floor.
Mr. Knox is about the smallest man
in stature, with the possible exception
of Spooner, of Wisconsin, there is in
the senate, but is of the most polished
and distinguished appearance. His
fine, intellectual. countenance and re-
fined features attract the attention of
the stranger at once. He is very
careful dresser and always looks as
neat as though he had just come out
of the tailor's hands. Mr.. Knox is a
devotee of golf and great lover Of
fine horses. He has the best team Of
roadsters in the country and his love
for a good horse has established a
bond of friendship between him and
the democratic senator from Texas.

he has the deepest respect for the abil-
ity of Knox, with whom he became
acquainted early in the latter's term

A Wild Man.

Minneapolis. unknown man,
armed with shot gun and revolver,
held undisputed sway in a box car on
the St Louis tracks, between this city
and Hopkins.
The strange man started the trouble
by firing point blank at man and
woman who were walking near the
Imperial and Great Western elevators.
The two people took fright and sought
safety in the Great Western elevator:
The shot fred at them missed them by
only a few feet. The strange man
gave no reason whatever for his action.
When he saw his intended victims
running away he jumped into an emp
ty box car and for two hours kept up a
fusillade from his point of vantage.
Luckily no one got in the way OF any
of the bullets.

the opening day of congress- He
hailed from New Jersey and had been
a regular visitor at the capitol since
soon after the civil war, in which he
served as a sailor
The old guides about the capitol
gave this queer character the sobriquet
OF the little statue man" because of
his habit Of frequenting Statuary hall
and talking loud and earnestly to the
bronze and marble statues there. He
was small in stature himself, but as
full of energy as live electric wire
His favorite statue was that of Rob-
ert Fulton, the inventor of the steam.
boat, who is represented as holding in
his hand model of his first steamboat,
on which his gaze has been intently
fixed. The little statue man" would
hat in hand, and begin talking to the
statue like this:
'Ah, good morning, Robert Still

your scheme along, or will beat you,

ship that will both fly through the air
or skim over the waters
This little Jerseyman was also very
fond of the plaster statue of Gen.
Washington, which stands in Statuary
hall, and which he always Familiarity
addressed as George" He believed
that this statue still breathes the spirit
of '76, or, as the little man expressed
it: George Washington, in plaster,
has been reincarnated with the pa
triotism of the late George Washing
ton in the flesh and stands in this hall
as living inspiration to the Ameri-
can people,"
Another peculiar character who is
missing was tall 'strapping individ-
ual known as "the Irish Mexican"
His real name was Murphy, but he had
given it Mexican twist by comforting
it into "Murphreerero.' He could talk
Spanish fluently, but with an Irish &C.

The meat question imposing starva-
ton upon the poorer classes of people
because of the excessive high price of
meat in Germany is a strange con di.
ton of civilization. The German
farmers secured legislation prohibiting
American meat and live cattle, which
gives them the monopoly Of trade, but
they are unable to raise half enough
meat to supply the great population;
indeed no European country can or
does now produce meat enough to sup.
ply the demand. The people OF Ger.
many appeal in vain to the officials
f,r relief to admit American meat.

holders have permitted their policies
to lapse. A sort Of panic seems to
have seized upon them, and it has
been far more costly to them than
to the insurance companies. In many
instances new insurance can never be

holder has sacrificed the advantages
which accumulate with time.

There are signs that the era of the
"sHyscrapers" will before long begin
in London. There is an apparent bar
to it's Introduction in London, as the
county councils building act prohibits
such structures, but, like all restrict

ingenious suggestion for introducing
skyscraper in the guise of a "tower"
is made, and it has additional interest
from the fact that it comes within the

police watch carefully that no one Of
a dangerous character gets inside the
big building.
There is one human prodigy who
has been about the capitol for several
congresses who is known to the guides
and employees as ''the Elixir of Life
Man." He is a venerable specimen,
and carries about with him bottles Of
queer-looking, reddish mixture
which he claims, if properly used, will
prolong life. He also asserts that this
same preparation will "cause bursts
of oratory and return of youth and will
produce winning personality" This
old fellow became so persistent in an
noying senators last congress that he
was put out of the capitol He is back
again this year.
Some of the eccentric characters met
with in the corridors are women. One
of these is a national character, and
has been looking after bill in her
own interest for several years. This is
DR.. Mary Walker, who has achieved
national notoriety by her persi5tency
in dressing in male garments. She
was nurse during the civil war and
now in her old age she wants Uncle
Sam to grant her pension for what
she did. She looks like little weaz-

what ancient silk hat on her head.
