Threw Himself Into Work.
Some years ago IN the beginning OF his
public career, Senator Beveridge lost his
wife. He had been devotedly ATTACHED to
her and the blow proved a hard one He
threw himself heart and soul into his
work and each session Of Congress saw
him on the floor with renewed vlgor for
the work of the winter After many
months he was compelled TO participate
10 some degree IN the social affairs of
Washington, and shortly after the debut
ball of Miss Alice Roosevelt his atten-
tons to the Presidents daughter were so
marked that Dame RumOr frequently re-
ported their engagement. However, Sena-

debutante and nothing came Of the idle
talk concerning their prospective mar

height Of the social season that Miss
Eddy met the young statesman from
the Hoosier State.

strong friendship resulted. Throughout
the succeeding weeks Of the winter Sen
