FO|R7Y.TWO YEARS
IN CONGRESS.
Allison Holds the Bell for Length Of
2 Service.
MANY ARE Old TIMERS.

IL
v lth the close of the session the
curtain dlopp9d on the congress
slonal career of a number of we'll
known members. merely an inter
mission for few. perhaps, but
unquestiOnably the final curtain
for good many.
In the House the familiar faces
of Grosvernor of Ohio, Dovenor
of West Virginia, Bankhesd of
q Alabama, Wadsworth of New
York, BabcOck of Wisconsin,
Lacey of Iowa. lcCIeary of
minnesota, Fred Lands of
Indiana, and other members Of
more or less prominence will be
missing when the Sixtieth Con-
o gress convenes.
Among those who 60 out of the
Senate with the end of this ses-
sion are Patterson of Colorado,
Dubois of Idaho, Clark of Mon
tana, Dryden of New Jersey.
Blackburn of Kentucky, Carmack
of Tennessee. Millard of Nebraska
and the veteran Berry of Ar
kansas.
While members come and mem.
bers 90, the congressional careers
of a lucky few appear, like the
babbling brook. to run on for
ever. In this connection some
one recalled the fact that the ven
erable Senator William Boyd
Allison of Iowa was IS years old
Saturday. Needless to sxy he re-.
celved q continuous stream of
congratulations from members of
both branches Of Congress.
The anniversary also reminded
his colleagues that on Monday
Uncle Billy" as he is endear.
ingly known by everyone in ma.
tional public life. had rounded
out AZ years in Congress and "a
years as a United States Senator
"a longer term than any other
man in that chamber. and, with
one exception, the longest in the
history of the Republic. The
next longest term of any pres ent
Senator is that of John 7. Morgan
of Alabama, with 30 wears.
Close behind him are the two SEN
stors from Maine, Mr.. Hale and
Mr. Frye, who entered the Senate
together 26 years ago. and Sena-
tor Aldrich of Rhode Island. who
came several months later. Mr..
Allison's lead is already so strong
that with the two remaining years
of his present term added he will
probably hold the record for a
century to come.
Q If Senator Morgan were a
young man he would stand q show
} perhaps to pass the Iowa Senator's
record. With thirty years tenure
to his credit now, Mr.. Morgan
has recently been reelected to a
sixth term, so that should Mr..
Allison's career close in 1909. az
the end of his present term, it is
at least possible for Morgan to tie
him.
Witha break of two years that
elapsed between his leaving the
House and entering the Senate,
Senator Allison has been in Con-
gress steadily since 1868. and
what be does not know about leg.
islative methods will probably
never be known by any one. As
chairman of the Appropriations
Committee he. has for years oc-
cupied one of the most influential
positions in all councils of Con-
gress, and as heao of the Repub-
slicxn Steering committee he has
coptrollsd the consideration of all
political measures.

THE AGGRAVANT.

The man was dotty, he was dopy;
His cerebral goo was ropy,
And his think-machine as gropy
AS the law could we'll allow.
In intelligence deficient
He was clearly inefficient,
But-he had a roll sufficient
To asphyXiate a COW.
Mixed with any folks he'd bore EN-
Showed his ignorance before em;
The sOcietaS chuporum
Hailed in him a charter member.
With virile vim and vigOr
He would pull his oral trigger
And keep boring ike a chigger
From the springtime to December.
Yet the thing that made me hate him,
Made me inwardly berate him,
Made me long to flagellate him
From his shoes to his chapeau,
Was that folks who should forsake him
Used to dine and wine and cake him
Used to let his money take him
Where mere brains could never go.

certain letters.
He may, if this be true. console him
self with the reflection that there are
many, many others. There is a man
in Washington who, only the other
afternoon, experienced perhaps a keen
er modification over certain letters
that he had written than any 'Ex-l-t-ed
Pr-S-n-ge" ever did
1t was a rainy afternoon, and his
wife was doing some ante-Christmas
rummaging in one of her old trunks.
From that trunk she plucked a pack
age of old, rather faded letters neatly
tied up in cerise ribbon, and then she
came downstairs to where her hus-
band was attempting to read the
newspaper. There was a certain ma
licious twinkle in her generally ami
able eye.
you used to care for me in those
days" was her curious way of open
ing the conversation
'Huh?" said her husband, looking
up vaguely from his paper. whats
that?"
used to love me then" she said,
untying the packet of letters and pull
ing one of them from its envelope.
What days? Whatchoo talking
about? Whatchoo got there?" he
asked.
"Ch, some letters" she replied
placidly. Some of your
"Oh, rubbish, Matilda!' he broke in
'Piease 1emme alone. I'm reading"
Here's one of them, written shortly
after we were engaged" she went on
unheedingly. "T am not a wealthy
man, she quoted from the faded page,
but I can, at least, my darling, strew
the path for your adorably dainty feet
with wild roses and pOppies-'"
"Oh, l say he broke in, flag that,
won't you? What's the answer to all
this? Please lemme lone. Can't you
see that I'm reading?"
And here's another passage" she
went on remorselessly. when I look
into your dear violet eyes l feel, stir
ring within me- the awakenings of a
new life, the moving harbingers Of
something higher and"
"Please cut it out, my dear" plead
ed the husband, his face reddening.
Horrible rot! Wish you'd lemme
lone"
Here's another one, written about
40 minutes later-you used to write
me about nine letters a day then, you
know dear You say here: When l
hold you in my arms, and inhale the
dewy sweetbriar fragrance of your
sunny hair, | feel as Paris must have
felt when he clasped Helen to his
heart in the golden antique years"
"Oh, for Heavens sake, can that
rot, won't you please Matilda?" the
man begged, but it was no use.
And then you go on to say: Never,
since the Chaldean shepherds watched
their focks in the dusks and twilights
of the ancient world, has woman been
worshiped as I worship my Matilda.
Never since"
Great Caesar, what muff, what a
muttonhead, I must have been!"
groaned the husband What "a"
why, l think it's real nee, really"
said his wife, with sort of retrospect
tive smile on her face. Il couldn't
understand a good deal that you
wrote, of course, because you know
you were such a-er-fiorid and
stylish writer, my dear, but Well,
