Stanford always pretended that he could not intro
duCe bill or make committee report without the
guidance of a mentor in knee breeches; but it was
suspected that this ignorance of parliamentary law
arose from the desire of the old railroad king to pat
upon the head his small admirer and tell him 70

make in California, namely, gold coins of the San
Francisco mint

who could never discover even how to vote. He
could only clutch the nearest bystander and whisper
hOarsely, HOw's the party gOing?" Once, entering
the chamber just a roll was being concluded, the
Californian halted in mute perplexity The secretary
called his name, while floor and galleries turned
inquiringy toward the troubled figure in the center
doorway.
The great mine owner frantically clapped his
hands, and, grabbing a misChievOus imp who an
severed his summons, gasped IN a stage undertone.
Which way do l vote?"
Aye" whispered the boy, and when the secretary
again called the name of the junior Senator from
California the Senator raised his head Serenely and
looking around with CalmnesS, echoed "Ayel" \
frenZied rush of the Democratic Senators and the
urgent expOstulatiOns of the Democratic senatorial
whip alone prevented this unconscious apOstaSy.
and the next morning the monkey ike page had
bad quarter hour with old Senator Harris of Ten
nessee. chairman of the Democratic caucus.
'Of course, you did it on purpOset" and the Con-

trembling eleven year-old head. And now / tell
YOU one thing my son. if YOU ever vote the Senator
wrong again, you leave the Senate.

Altogether it is thought that Mars IS not widely

wonderfully free from clouds, and probably less
dense than ours. This suggests that its surface IS
subject to great vciSSitudes of cold and heat 50
that the people of Mars if they exist are probably
fundamentally different from ourselves Neverthe-
less, there are Mars nearly all the conditions for
the existence of man know him here. and IL Is
possible that the planet the state which our
own earth VIII reach when its atmosphere becomes

Bright Future for Pages

youths of the genius that make them fit for
pages do not allow themselves to be surprised by
the advent of manhood when pageship is no longer
dignihed or possible. Some go abroad as consulS
and some enter West Point. while others. coveting
the wider opportunities of business, enter under
favorable auspices the offices of the great lawyer
and corporation magnates who abound either
floor of Congress And to those floors they them
selves sometimes return. The late Senator German
leader of his party in the Senate, served fourth
term in the chamber where he first appeared as
knCkerbOckered boy.
Indeed. opportunities await the page who

look with kindly eyes upon the fresh youthfulness
