Seats Vacant in the House.

Oregon's representation in the
House will remain vacant until the
courts have finally passed upon the
indictments and trials of the States
two Representatives Messrs. Binger
Hermann and John Newton William
son. Mr.. Williamson already has been
convicted by a Federal Court of Of
fenses similar to those for which Sen
ator Mitchell was made to suffer, and
is now awaiting the outcome of the
appeal of his case, as was Senator
Mitchell when death gratefully re-
lieved him of further humiliation and
woe.
Mr.. Hermann is yet to be tried. It
thus happens that there was no one
in the House from Oregon to make for
NAL announcement to that body of the
death of Senator Mitchell, so that no
official attention was paid the incident.
There is so little that can be said
of the strange. tragic, pitiful case of
Senator Mitchell that the men of the
Senate who knew him best, who liked
him best, who had served in that great
forum with him longest. and who are
most grieved at the sad ending Of his
career, have been disinclined to speak
of him at all.
"He is dead" said one Senator, "and
that ends all. II he were the man ]

Telt became the charge of her aunt,
Mrs. William S. Cowles, who was then
Miss Anna Roosevelt, and to the pres
ent day is as much the child of Mrs.
CowleS' affection as though she were
her daughter instead of her niece.
Her Debut in Washington.
Miss Roosevelt made her debut at
ball given in the great East Room
early in January, 1902, since which
date she has enjoyed a succession Of
attentions never before offered any
American girl.
At the Worlds Fair in st. Louis,
when she was the guest of Miss Catlin,
Miss Roosevelt was admired by thou
sands who saw her, and was voted a
true type of the American girl. Thou
sands followed her wherever she went,
but her demeanor did not indicate that
she was any more than plain Amer
lean. Her sweet smile completely cap
tivated the throng, and in st. Louis or
the West the Presidents daughter will
always be welcome.
Mr.. Longworth is the only son of the
late Nicholas Longworth, one of the
great millionaires of the West. His
mother inherited all of the estate of his
father.
Wholesome Sort of Man.
The future son-in-law of the Presi-
dent is an enthusiastic lover of outdoor
sports, as his splendid physical devel-
opment plainly indicates. He is an ex-
pert on the golf links, a cross-country
rider, a good marksman with shotgun
and rife, and veteran fisherman. At
Harvard he was a member Of the
varsity rowing crew. and for three
years subsequently rowed in the class

Mitchell, of Oregon. Yet there is no
body of men on earth which is great
er stickler for ceremony governed by
precedent than is the United States
Senate. But the Mitchell case pre-
sented unique situation. The official
recognition of the death of Senator
is always a solemn and affecting pro-
ceeding, but even the usual funeral
rites were omitted in this instance.
The Oregon Senator had been convict
ed of a grave crime against the gov
ernment. Excepting Senator Burton,
of Kansas, no other members of the
Senate has ever had to face a criminal
court trial. The Senate has expelled
members and has often exercised its
constitutional prerogative Of unseating
Senator, but with the two exceptions
above stated, it has never been con-
fronted with such situation as was
forced upon the public attention by
Senators from Oregon and Kansas.
The Vice-President, who is the
President of the Senate, did not ap-
point the usual committee to attend
the funeral held in Portland, Ore.
Senator Fulton, the sole representative
of Oregon left in Congress, had intend
ed presenting brief resolution, re-
citing the death of his colleague, and
asking that the Senate adjourn as a
mark Of respect, but even this was not
done. Not even was the desk which
the late Senator occupied yelled in the
heavy mourning drapery as is the GUS
tom. In a word. the Senate. in sad
ness, passed over the death of it's for
mer Senator as quietly and unostenta-
tiously as possible. There have been
no eulogies. His successor, appoint
ed by Governor Chamberlain, a Dem
ocrat, comes to Washington from the
far Pacific slope and the sovereign
State of Oregon will again have its
full representation in the Senate.

and "he" was an editor. So his part
ing request did not seem strange to
her. She was to draw that fine fat
duck that lay before her. She would
and even admired the aesthetic taste
Of her dear "old sugar." The duck
alone had a sort of waxy look, so she
made an artistic group of a bed Of eel
cry fanked by some carrots and red
apples to add to the color scheme.
When they were arranged to her taste
she brought her drawing board and
sat down contentedly to draw the
duck. She just washed in the colors
to be finished at leisure later, but
made careful study of that duck and
succeeded in getting a very good
sketch Of it in all its fatness.
AS she surveyed the work of art she
felt very well satisfied. 1t was regu-
lar "duck" of duck.
She had everything else prepared
her vegetables on the range, her salad
all made and in the icebox. They were
to have fruit cake and ice cream for
dessert. At each plate stood a tiny
floss chicken pecking at colored egg.
Could anything be sweeter? And the
tall glass in the center of the table
held bunch of jonquils. And, oh, how
happy she was! She had looked in the
cookbook, and it said that exactly
twenty minutes were required to roast
the duck to turn
The man with the oysters disturbed
her at her drawing, but she hurriedly
Sketched in all the salient features Of
her picture before the fateful twenty
minutes, when the duck should be
placed in the oven. She salted and
peppered it and lighted the gas. Then
she set the fat and interesting duck in
the oven and left it for twenty min
utes. Everything else was progressing
finely, and in five minutes II was really
quite hot.
So she left the duck to It's fate and
went to add few finishing touches to
her toilet ana a last one to the pretty
table. Then her dearly beloved came
with his friend. After the presentat ton
Alfred asked:
"ls dinner nearly ready, dearest?"
Lizzie looked at the clock. Yes; It
was fifteen minutes since she had put
the duck in the oven, so by the time
they had finished their soup and oys-
ters the duck would be just right. She
would turn off the gas.
"Yes, | think so. l will see," an
swered the anxious lady.

the last Of her blessed one, her "old
sugar."
Lizzie heard the retreating footsteps
down the long hall, the very striking
of the umbrella against the wall send
ing happy little thrills through her.
She sighed heavily as she returned to
the dainty little fat. Was not her
dearest and best gone. not to return
until O'Clock?
He was to bring an old friend with
him to dinner She had not cared to
leave her dear little fiat, her paradise,
rather, even for church, and Alfred
had decided that he was signally bless
ed in having such an angel for bride,
one not given to Haunting shows, even
on such a day, when all other women
were showing themselves off in their
new gowns and hats He was the hap
piest and most fortunate man in all
creation. And now Jim, dear old Jim,
his chum and lifelong friend, should
have taste of felicity in seeing their
home and making the acquaintance Of
the incompatible Lizzie, the one wom-
an in the whole world.

place. putting dainty touches here and

ana the salad bowl on the sideDoaru.
Oh, it was grand to he married and
have home and guests to dinner!
She brought in the duck.
1t did not look just like other roast
ducks that she had seen, but the book
had said twenty minutes.
Alfred took the carving knife and
started to carve the duck. He thought
there was something wrong with it,
but he dissembled. With a grand air
he said he had always liked ducks.
The flavor was excellent. He made
another attack, but his knife made no
impression on the fowl. He sharpened
the knife and yet the duck refused to
be carved. 1t seemed to have the re-
slstance of rubber, and he finally re-
marked:
81 am afraid the duck is not DONE"
81 cooked it twenty minutes" re-
piled dearest, looking worried.
At this moment the knife penetrated
the upper portion of the ducks breast
and an avalanche of whole corn ratified
down on the platter. Arrreo Ioukeu st,
tragic that Lizzie began to tremble and
turn pale. He said finally:
Take it away. | told you to draw
the duck the last thing as l went out,
and you didn't do it."
II did too," sobbed Lizzie, with the
napkin to her eyes. 81 did. now"
Saying this she handed her mortified
husband the drawing she had made.
She still sobbed disconsolately, while
Alfred handed the drawing to Jim, and
each let out roar of laughter that
could have been heard block.
Poor Lizzie continued to weep.
"Oh, Mrs. Lawton, don't. There is
plenty else, and, besides. Alf. it was
the butchers business to do this" Jim
said consolingly.
"I'll-Tll discharge that butcher. New
er mind, dearest. 1t wasn't your fault.
Mistakes occur to any one, and-ah--
haven't you got something else?"
IL could make an omelet," said
Lizzie, wiping her pretty eyes.
"Well, do, and Wen chat while You
are doing it."
But when Lizzie was alone the
thought Of her dismal failure overcame
her, and SO many tears fell that she
was half blinded, but the omelet felt
sorry for her and came out of the pan
light and fine That and her salad
saved the day, and the ice cream and
cakes were good.
Despite its beginning the dinner was
very enjoyable affair, and the next
day the duck got another cooking.
Lizzie made surreptitious efforts to
get that picture away from her hus-
band, but he put 1t under lock and key.
1t was a proof that she did actually
draw the duck.
