he won a signal victory by bringing Or
der out of chaos among the Democrat
lie representatives goes without say
ing.
The Democratic leader was born
July 80, 1854, at Memphis, Tenn, his
mother having died, and his father,
who was colonel of the Twenty-sev-
enth Tennessee Volunteers, Confeder-
ate States Army, being killed at Shi-
lob, and Memphis, being threatened
with capture by the Federal army,
his family removed to his mothers
family homestead in Yazoo County,
Miss. There the future leader received
his education at private schools, the
Kentucky Military Institute, near
Frankfort, KY, the University Of the
South, at Sawenee, Tenn, the Univer-
sity of Virginia, and the University of
Heidelberg, in Baden, Germany Sub
sequently Congressman Williams
studied law under Profs. Minor and
Southall at the University Of Vir-
ginia, and in the office Of Harris, Nc
Kisick & Turley in Memphis. In 1877
he received license to practice in the
courts of law and chancery of Shelby
County, Tenn In December, 1873, he
removed to Yazoo City, Miss, where
he engaged In the practice Of his pro-
fession and the varied pursuits of
cotton planter He was named as
delegate to the Chicago convention
which named Cleveland and Steven
son. He was elected to.the Fifty-third
Congress and has been reelected to
every Congress since, sometimes with
out opposition.
Williams methods as a leader are
interesting to study. He is persuasive,
not domineering. He has a winning
manner and he seems to be seeking
help and light from one at the very
time he is bringing a person around to
his views. Congressman who go into
his little room in the library wing de-
termined to let Williams know that
they will put up with no nonsense go
out pleased and fattered and inclined
to help him out. On the rare occa-
sions when it is necessary for him to
show his authority the iron hand
comes out Of the velvet glove and the
insurgent knows what. has happened
without having anyone tell him.
Williams is not an impressive man
to look at; in fact, he is homely in
face and careless in dress. A tangled
mass of matted hair falls down to
a point not far from his eyes A
struggling mustache covers a mouth of
generous size and irregular outline.
His manners are as easy and unpre-
tentious as an old shoe.
He would not be a rich man in New
York, but he is in Mississippi He is
a lawyer and a planter, whose father
left him a fortune. He does not look,
however, as If he had dollar, and all
the advice Of his friends cannot make
him spruce up.
Williams has remarkable voice It
IS somewhat nasal and rather incisive,
but his command Of it is as perfect as
that Of Q musician over q musical In

DESERTS HEAT NOT so BAD.
Sahara, Being Perfectly Dry, Tenn
perature Seems Hardly Oppressive.

The Sahara is not at all as popular
belief pictures it, a vast plain Of NOV
ing sand, dotted here and there with
fertile GASES, somewhat like a leopard's
skin. From Tunis westward it is a
vast depression Of sand and clay not
much above sea level, in some parts
perfectly level, in others billy, with
low depressions containing water
saltier than the sea, which generally
evaporates, leaving a coating Of bril-
liant crystals which appear like snow
In the distance.
on the north serve to irrigate the GASES
Of the Ziban; sometimes they flow
above the surface, but often below it.
There is a fascination about the des-
ert that Is indescribable and which
none can understand unless they have
spent several weeks with a caravan. At
times the heat is great, but, being per-
fectly dry, 1t does not enervate as a
humid atmosphere does at tempera-
ture forty degrees lower
Near midday the desert appears to
be molten sea Of dazzling vibrating
light. Now and then the mirage ap-
pears, and the tired eyes Of the stran-
ger are refreshed with visions Of beau
tiful lakes and moving caravans. Alas !!
this is a case where seeing is not be-
lieving. After many disappointments

Mrs. RooseveIt's Thoughtfulness.

When President Roosevelt is at his
summer home at Oyster Bay, two Sc
cret service men sit all night under a
big tree near the house. It Is only
on very stormy nights that they desert
the tree and take refuge on the veran-
da, and are thus protected from the
rain, but not from the north wind that
sometimes sweeps in from Long Is
land sound. During storm last sum-
mer the wind, moaning through the
trees, drove the rain in sheets upon the
veranda, and the most sheltered place
the secret service men could find was
wet and chill.
Within the house all was silent. APP
parently everybody had gone to bed.
But suddenly the side door creaked,
and a feminine voice called out: Come
here, won't you, please?" The secret
service men lost no time in responding,
for they recognized the voice.
"I've been worrying about you men
out in this awful night" said Mrs.
Roosevelt, "and thought that some hot
coffee would do you good. Come in
and drink it. 1t was too late to call
the cook, SO | made it myself / hope
that it is all right"
ut seemed to me to be the finest
coffee had ever tasted" remarked the
secret service man, when he told this
little story Of the ever-present thought
fulness Of Mrs. Roosevelt for those
around her.-Success Magazine.

ingly it is without reason Perhaps,
however, If closer scrutiny Is applied
IN some cases it will be found that the
sons Of great fathers are not great
themselves because their fathers, great
in many things, are not great enough
to know how to raise children. In a
word, they spoil them The very
things that made themselves great are
denied the children. A man who be-
gins in poverty and obscurity and
rises to heights Of distinction, influ-
ence and wealth usually informs the
public or his friends that the things
he suffered in his youth will be spared
his son. So the youth grows up In
the lap of luxury. He may have brains.
