Chester |. Long.

% o. % o. - % - . % . % % % .
Chester I. Long, United States sena-
tor from Kansas, was born at Perry,
Pa, October IL, 1860. A young child
he removed with his parents to Davies
county, Missouri, and his education
was received for the most part in the
public schools of that district. In 1879
he went to Kansas and located at Pa
ola, where he studied law, and was adj
mitted to the bar in 1885.
He began his public career as a
member of the Kansas state senate, in
which body he served two terms before
being elected to congress in 1895. From
1895 to 1897 he served as member
of the house of representatives, and
again from 1899 to 1908.
In the latter year he was chosen by
the Kansas legislature as one of the
two representatives of that state in
the United States senate.

IT CAN BE DONE.

In his last annual message Mayor
Weaver of Philadelphia recommended
the organization Of municipal bank
ing house. He pointed out that while
the city gets only per cent, the banks
in which $20,00O.O00 Of the city's money
b deposited each year get 6 per cent.
'If we could absolutely eliminate pol
itics from ouch an institution, 1t oc-
eurs to me that q city banking insti-
tuition would be q splendid thing.
I'm such an institution the money Of
the municipality could be deposited
and general banking business carried
on. We would never find ourselves in
the position we are in today in having
difficulty in placing our 31z per cent
loans. While we are asking money at
31k per cent, and only getting 2 per
cent for it. 1t is being used and very
properly used, by the banking institu-
tions who are getting 6 per cent for it,
and probably in some institutions it is
being sent to New York and loaned
there at higher rate"

Mass, Oct. 12.-Miss Amy Mcmillan,
daughter of the late United States
Senator James Mcmillan of Michigan,

baroness is one of the most intimate
friends of the Mcmillan family.
The bride of today has been prom
inently identified with society, both
in Detroit and Washington. She was
a member of the famous Taft party,
that went to the Philippines. During
Mr. Choate's term as ambassador at
London, Miss Mcmillan spent season
there under Mrs. Choate's chaperonage.
In her debutante days Miss Mcmillan
belonged to the same coterie Of young
women as the Baroness Won Kettler,
and on the latter's marriage she was
attended as maid of honor by Miss
Mcmillan.

tinction of being the only envoy extra

IT'S HISTORY CAN BE WRITTEN.

The eighth annual meeting of the
Interstate Fair and Racing association
Is fast passing into history. The big
race meet is over. the exhibits are be-
ing dismantIed and in few hours the
pageantry and the tinsel, the noise and
the confusion Of the carnival grounds
will also be a thing of the past, and
the big crowds will have left the city,
and the most successful meeting of the
association will have passed into his
tory.
In recalling the meeting thousands OF
people will carry to their several homes
recollections OF the wonderful exhibits
representing the resources and the de-
velopment of the industries of the
country. No amount of rhetoric can
paint the impressions made by the as
sembling in the concrete the wealth
of products represented at the fair.
Their infinite variety, their excellence
and the wonderful quantity produced
viii be the theme of many tongues
throughout the coming year.
Aside from it's amusement and ad-
vertising features. the fair has ma
terial value to the people of the coun
try. 1t brings business men in touch
with the patrons they serve either di-
rectly or indirectly throughout the
country. It teaches the value of uni
ty and cooperation in bringing abou
successful results No fair is so grea
but greater can be made by concen-
tration of energies, by hearty co-opera'
ton and union of all forces.
The greatest fair in the history o
the association has been held, but
greater fair is possible for next year
profting by the experiences and mis-
takes of the present and building OF
the foundations already laid.

CAME PRETTY FAST FOR PAT.
At That, He Had Had Only What the
Doctor Ordered.

A Philadelphia physician says that
not long ago he was called to see an
Irishman, and among other directions
told him to take an ounce of whisky
three times day. A day or so later
he made another visit and found the
man, while not so sick, undeniably
drunk
How did this happen?" the physi-
clan demanded of Pats wife, who was
lowering about solicitously.
Sure, dochter, an 'tis just what
you ordered, an no more, that he
had," she protested.
Il said one ounce of whisky three
times day; that could not make him
drunk" the physician said. "He has
had much more than that"
'Divil drop more, dochter, DEAR"
she declared. Sure an OF didn't
know just how much an ounce was SO

to be such a nuisance buying one Of
the small five-cent bottles every time
We ran out of ink, that he said he
would bring home supply.
About week after that I got a
new maid, and when she did the wash

bluing. OF course every stitch of our

LEFT 1T TO THE OLD HENS.
Amateur Fancier Thought His Re-
sponsibility Had Ended.

An Indiana man tells of the efforts
of an author belonging to the Hoosier
school of historical novelists to put
in his leisure time as a hen farm
er" in that state. The literary per
sons venture afforded his agricultural
neighbors no end of amusement.
During the first year the amateur
farmer discovered that all his little
chickens, which were confined in
coops, were languishing at the point
of death. The novelist went over his
"hen literature" to locate the cause of
the trouble, but to no avail.
Finally he called upon an old chap
named Rawlins, to whom he put the
question:
What do you suppose Is the mat
ter with those chickens?"
well, l dunno" said Rawlins.
What do you feed em?"
Feed them!" exclaimed the novel
ist-farmer. why, don't feed then
anything!"
Then, how'd you suppose they
was a-goin' to live?"
Il presumed replied the literary
person, that the old hens had milk
enough for them now."-Lippincott S

AFFLICTED ONLY AT TIMES.
Good Reason for Capt. Bascomb's In.
termittent Hearing.

When Capt. Bascomb had left his
old friend, Capt. Somers, and the new
school teacher sitting on the south
porch, and had disappeared down the
road, the young woman spoke of him
with some curiosity.
Il understand from Mrs. Bascomb
that her husband was very deaf, al
most stone-deaf,' she told me, I'm
sure" said the school teacher. But
he seemed to hear all we said with
perfect ease"
Capt. Somers leaned toward her
and spoke in a low, cautious tone, al
though there was no eavesdropper to
hear him.
Don't let Mis- Bascomb know it,"
he said, hurriedly. He does seem
to hear pretty we'll when she amt
round, but none of us folks ever let
on to her. She's a good woman as
ever lived, but a most tremendous
bosser and an everlastin' talker. An
we all think that Gersh Bascomb be-
gun to realize ten years ago that il
he didn't want to be harried right off'n
the face O. the earth, the thing for
him to do was to grow deef, gradual,
but steady-an' he's done it, to all
intents an purposes, ma'am!"-

Architects and Closets,

An architect, says a writer, com.
plains that women have a mania for
closets and that when a woman is al
lowed any liberty in the matter she
changes his whole architectural plan
in order to make room for them. This,
he says, makes him a laughing stock
among his fellow architects. This is
very interesting, but why do architects
make plans if not to make every effort
themselves to secure conveniences? A
house may be architecturally perfect
and yet not fit to live in, and it certain
enough.

Maanifylna Choir Leaders, Voice.

In the old village Of Braybrook in
Northamptonshire, England, is a mon
ster trumpet, five six inches in length
and having bell-shaped end two feet
one inch in diameter The trumpet is
made up of ten rings, which in turn
are made up OF smaller parts. The
use of this trumpet-only four of the
kind are known to exist at the present
day-was to magnify the voice of the
leader in the choir and summon the
people to the church service. At the
present time neither the choir nor
the service is in need of this extraor-
binary musical instrument" but the
vicar of the church takes care of the
ancient relic and is fond of showing 1t
to all visitors.
