day; likable man, In fine. that grows

The Repast Ready, but No Guests.
Uncle Joe Cannon, who, by the way,
is n chum of Williams, has been re-
gartled as the most discontinued man
in congress. But there is question
as to whether he is any more absent
minded than Williams himself. Mrs.
Williams tells two stories on this bead.
One morning the lord and master Of
the house wanted an elaborate spread

vite a Judge and some prominent law
yers to dinner. The repast was ready,
but no guests. Mr.. Williams had for
gotten to ask them. At another time
the Democratic leader was In hurry
to get to the house and left without
his breakfast. Mrs. Williams had to
telephone for a locksnlith, as her alb
sentminded husband had locked her IN
The crow hing instance of preoccupa-
ton on the part OF John Sharp as he
is universally called, ia recounted by a
fellow representative, however. Drop

some sort of d banquet, he found him
just finishing dressing and with his
mind on something else, as usual. We
will let the congressman complete the
story:

finishing dabs to his necktie. Then he
buttoned up his vest and turned to me.

JOHN SHARP WILLIAMS DEMOCRATIC LEADER OF THE Hous

"tWell, I've seen worse told him.

the au fait kink for you to don pair
of-er-trousers?
"Yep, he'd forgotten 'em, and he

Scientific C00n Hunter.
Mr.. Williams home is at Yazoo, Miss.
Democratic candidates there are chosen
by the primary system. When the fu-
ture leader was first running for con-
gress his opponent was famous coon
hunter sport at which John Sharp
was not an expert. One county was
practically lost to him for this reason,
so he saw that something had to be
done. Going into this county, the first
thing that met him was an invitation
to hunt coons. He accepted with
alacrity, but explained that he was
scientific coon hunter. Taking along q
bunch Of Roman candles. he fired these
among the branches of the first tree in
which coon had taken refuge and
literally scared the animal off the
perch. Repeating this process each
time the dogs freed the game, the hunt
was record breaker, and Williams
got almost the unanimous vote Of the
county.
John Sharp once ran afoul of Tom
Reed. This is the way he tells the story
himself:
zone day." said Mr.. Williams, II met
Mr.. Reed coming out Of the cloakroom,
and he said to me in that peculiar
drawl of his, Williams, whatever
makes you such bitter partisan?
"'Well. Mr.. Speaker, that's pretty
good coming from you, isn't it?' re-
piled:
Never mind me- he replied. But
why are you such bitter partisan?
"'Well I'll tell YOU said. You
know never saw Republican until I
was thirty-eight years old, and can't
get used to them somehow
'He looked at me reproachfully and
walked away without another word"
At one time Speaker Cannon wanted
the Democratic leader to place man
from Mississippi on the river and har-
Dor committee.
Heavens, non' protested Williams.
II own a lot Of land 1000 acres, be-
hind one of those Mississippi levees,
and they would all say put that man
in there because want something done
to my advantage by that committee"
"Pshaw. John Sharp said Uncle
Joe. You ought to be willing to take
chance with public opinion If do. I
own 5000 acres of land behind Mis-
sissippi levee myself"
In the early part of 1904 there was
quite little talk of Williams for the
presidency, talk that he did not take
seriously and out Of which he had not a
little dry fun One day young report
er questioned him concerning the mat
ter, and John Sharp. with exceeding
gravity. saiu. he had. quite some hopes

family watched by her bedside forty

Above all, why should he SO expose
himself? He smiled again as he caught
my glance.
"Of course you're puzzled" he said

yours at the coroner's court this after
noon was admirable, one of the best
things ever saw"

"You were there, then?" I asked.
"Oh, yes. couldn't afford to miss
IT.
1.-THE color blind theory was simple
one"
$50 simple that it never occurred to
any one else. think we're too apt
to overlook the simple explanations,
which are, after all, nearly always
the true ones. It's only in books that
we meet the reverse. You remember
it's Gaboriau who advises one always
to distrust the probable?"
Yes. 1 don't agree with him."
"Nor l. Now take this case, for In
stance / think It's safe to state that
murder, where it's not the result OF
sudden passion, Is always committed
for one of two objects-revenge Or
gain. But Mr.. Holidays past life has
been pretty thoroughly probed by the
reporters, and nothing has been found
to Indicate that he had ever made q
deadly enemy, at least among the class
of people who resort to murder, so that
does away with revenge. On the other
hand, no one will gain by his death
many will lose by it-in fact, the whole
circle of his associates will lose by 1t.
1t might seem, at first glance, that his
daughter would gain, but | think she
loses most of all. She already had all
the money she could possibly need. and
she's lost her father, whom, it's quite
certain, she loved dearly. So what re-.
mains?"
"Only one thing" l said, deeply inter
ested In this exposition. Sudden pas
sion"
He nodded exultantly.
'That's it. Now, who was the wom-
an? From the first l was certain 1t
could not be his daughter-the very
thought was preposterous. 1t seems
almost equally absurd, however, to
suppose that Holiday could be mixed
up with any other woman. He GER
tainly has not been for the last quarter
Of a century--but before that-weli, It's
not SO certain And there's one strik-
ing point which seems to indicate his
guilt"

semblance to his daughter"

exist-a resemblance unusual, even
spikips--or it would not for moment

There are doubtless many things that
could be said against him. This is the
case with most people. But why go
around with dark lantern looking for
imperfections? Life is too short to

BEAUTIES OF RooKWooD.

Miss Alice NOOseve1t's Home to BE .
stately Palace of Art.
lockwood, the home Of the Long
worths, In the Walnut Hills section Of
Cincinnati. over which Miss Alice
Roosevelt will reign az the wife of
Representative Nicholas Longworth,
the third Longworth in direct line from
Nicholas Lcngworth. the sturdy old pio-
neer who came from England and set
tied In Cincinnati when 1t was nothing
but landing place on the Ohio river,
Is a stately old residence adorned with
valuable works Of art within it's walls
and surrounded with the beauties Of
nature without, says Cincinnati dis
patch.
-Four generations of Longworths have
dwelt there and added to it's treasures.
The founder Of the family acquired a
large tract of land that Is now in the
heart Of Cincinnati laid the founda-
lions Of the family fortune and built
lockwood. Many acres he planted In
vineyards and Of their fruit made the
famous Catawba wine. The vineyards
were transferred to the city at later
day and now comprise Eden park. The
estate was subdivided among the heirs
of different generations Until there re-
main about the old mansion hundred
acres Of rolling meadow land and nat
ural forests.
The house is a fine old fashioned
residence that was built by the first
Longworth when he had reached the
zenith Of his power. 1t contains fine
collection Of portraits and canvases
from the brushes of the worlds most
noted artists There is also famous
collection Of tapestries and oriental
rugs.
The Longworths have been noted for
their hberality in giving away their
choicest specimens Of art. Joseph
Longworth, the leader of the second
generation, founded the Cincinnati Art
academy and endowed it with 100000
in ground rents and other investments.
One Of the most complete collections
Of Meissonier pictures in the world ne
gave to the art museum.
The land and forests Of lockwood
are preserved In their native beauty,
the only artificial ornamentation being
rustic bridges over rayines and creeks,
drives and tan bark walks winding
among the original oaks, hickories and
walnuts. Adjoining lockwood are an
other hundred acres of land preserved
In their natural state by other de-
scendants of the family. Although To-
Gated on Grandin road in East Walnut
Hills, one Of the city's most fashionable
residence sections, both tracts have
been kept intact, occupied almost en-
tirely by native forest trees.
In the stables at lockwood are
horses finely bred and well broken to
saddle and whip. All Of the Long
worths have shown interest in agricul-
ture and stock raising. Except what
is utilized for greenhouses and gardens
none of the land is titled. A small
herd Of cattle Of royal breeding roam
over a pasture ground.
The place was named Rookwood be-
cause of the large number of crows or
rocks that swarmed in the woods In
the earlier days.
The four generations that have lived
there are Nicholas Longworth LIST, Jo-
seph Lengwortn, Nicholas Longworth
I'd and Nicholas Longworth Sd, who
ID to wed Miss Roosevelt.
