Pinafore Preliminaries.

Twas a blisterfully blizzardous night
The soft snow snuggled sweetly stimuli
taneous to the bosom OF Mother Earth,
and the lights glimmered gloomily over
the bungalow, but in the basement OF
the Baptist church merry melody burst
buoyantly from the thrilling Threats Of
many maidens, joyous Juveniles and
melodious men. Struggling strangers
struggling strenuously against the slip
perry sidewalks stopped and fingered to
listen. Hank! What was that burst of
song?
1--WE sail the ocean blue, and our
saucy ships beauty"
"Humph!" snorted one of the listening
Qingerers, 1.-The wind has blew all day
and ocean o. snow has hindered me

"They hant no anchor kin hold me to

sand of bricks, while whole myriad of
stars foated past his vision.
At this very moment the vevety voice
of a lady launched forth:
Hail! men o. vars men"
The nifty night hawk who listened
meath the window cbortled, He! Ha!
Ho! They t'ink it's halin', but it's only
soft snow a-siftin down me neck"
You've got your pay. Spare all you

"Got me pay? I'd like ter know where

gloomily and then continued, Butter

The lad laughed lightly as he leered
at the pilgrim who palavered so pitifully
"The Teller don know" he murmured,
"that it's the oppry they're gittin'

Then again a melody came floating out
upon the frosty air.
But tell me, who's the youth whose
faltring feet with difficulty bear him on
his course?"
That's me" snickered the stranger,
an me falt'rin' tootsies won't hold to

Just at that moment gust of wind
from somewhere whirled around the
corner of the church and whsked the
strangers feet from under him, and the
next he knew the kid was kindly digging
snow from meath his sweater. Next he
sat up to listen.
The nightingale sighed"

"He sang, All Well s-dayr" came

The stranger said, I'D ruther hear

The stranger struggled a moment to
arise, and during the struggle be lost
some of the strains. The next words Ia
worm themselves into his consciousness
were

STRIKING RESEMBLANCE
OF MEN In PUBLIC LIFE

G TRIRING facial resemblances Of
- men in public life and in Official
circles in this city are frequently com.
mented upon. There are three men
widely known whose similarity OF
face and form Is so striking that
queer mistakes Of identity are expe-
rienced every now and then. The re.
semblance OF the president to his dis.
tinguished secretary of the navy and
attorney general. Mr.. Moody. has al.
ways been the subject OF remark and
now and then OF humorous mistakes.
Now that Mr.. Moody has been ele-
waited. or at least transferred. 10 the
supreme court OF the United States,
he has come across another double
in the person of James Maher. clerk Of
the supreme court.
When Justice Moody first met Mr..
Maher IL was as a member OF the
house of representatives. when the re.
semblance between the two was re-
marked. Again when as attorney gen.
eral he had occasion to go TO the
courtroom he occasionally saw his
double. and now as justice on the
Mexico Missouri message., 1907-03-07

bench he can look over the edge OF
his judicial gown any time and prac.
tically see himself as others see him.
Mr.. Makers resemblance 70 the pTesi.
dent is striking when In repose. but
when he speaks or smiles he Is obliged
to acknowledge that owing either to
the subduing atmosphere Of the court
or TO the lack Of dental qualifications.
no cannot vie with the chief executive
80 the other end OF the avenue.
The resemblance OF Senators Aldrich
and Foraker is also striking. although
the distinguished senator from Rhode
Island plays the role OF a reticent gen.
eral maneuvering his forces on the
floor OF the senate. while the senator
from Ohio acts the more striking part
OF a dashing officer with standard up
lifted ready for the fray. regardless OF
the distribution Of forces. II Mr..
Forakor's well-coyered head were
matched by the hlrsute adornment Of
Mr.. Aldrieh the resemblance would
be complete. But standing side by
side they appear as brothers aud their
similarity is frequently commented
upon.

SOUTH CAROLINA SENATOR
A DIAMOND In The ROUGH

WASHINGToN.--The senate gal.
w leries are always filled when Sen
ator Tillman is announced to speak.
No other senator since the days Of the
acrid and dazzling ingalls, has been
able to draw such crowds as he.
Yet Senator Tillman isn't a great
orator. In the first place. his voice is
bit shrill and unpleasant, until he
gets warmed up to the shouting point.
and then II takes on a deeper and
more sonorous timbre.
Again, he speaks somewhat discon.
nectedly, sometimes losing the thread
Of his argument altogether. But. like
4 creek or river diverted from it's path.
he always gets back to the main bed
OF his progress In time.
He sometimes makes his sentences
so long that he has TO pull up short
and begin again. When he reads from
a prepared manuscript-this is not
often--the monotony OF his delivery
is tiresome.
When he Is making a speech from
data scattered about his desk he has
prodIgious difficulty in finding his ref.
erences at critical junctures. He
gropes all over the Uttered desk and
the desks OF his senatorial neighbors
on either hand for the missing piece Of
Mexico Missouri message., 1907-03-07

paper. founders around underneath
the desks and on the floor. becomes
red In the face and fiustered and mad
all through.
The neighboring senators make q
great show OF helping him to ind what
he is looking for, but they really don't
try very hard. for they are smiling all
the time and apparently enjoying the
spectacle of wrath which the South
Carollnlan presents in these circum-
stances. A smoker runs around the
galleries at such times. and this does
not cause the senator from South
Carolina to feel himself any more at
ease over the lost reference.
But always he succeeds In finding
the lost bit OF paper in time. He SIM
ply will not proceed until he does find
It. and he has searched for as long as
ten minutes. while senate and audi
ence waited. Then he goes ahead
with his argument.
His gestures are those Of a man
wholly unframed in the art OF oratory.
but somehow the Hacking gestures
seem to belong to and to suit the fow
Of words when the senator becomes
thoroughly wrought up. For all that
he is a very well read man, the sena.
tor is still rough diamond.
