The mighty wall of reserve which a
whole generation of Britishers had
built around the mission to Washing

Real Reason Why LaFollette Failed

Carter and Scott acted as hosts to
Senator Stone and done their duty
nobly. Mr.. Stone had been delegated
to aid Senator La Toilette in his fill
buster against the currency bill, but
when the time came for him to act he
was not present. Neither vas the
presence of Carter or Scott noticed
on the floor Of the senate. Several
dispensers of glad water" say they
know where the trio spent the greater
part of the day.
Senator Gore lost the filibuster be
cause of his blindness. Some time be-
fore he concluded Mr.. Stone slipped
into a chair beside him and said he
was ready to take hold at any time.
Mr.. Gore said: "All right" and be-
iieved Mr.. Stone was present when
he sat down. Instead, Mr.. Stone was
taking snooze in the Democratic
cloakroom.
JEFF Davis was also absent from the
senate. He had left Little Rock de-
termined to save the country, but got
lost somewhere on the route.

THE real manner in which the La
/ Toilette filibuster on the currency
bill was lost furnishes one of the most
amusing series of incidents In the his
tory of congress. The failure is due
in great measure to Senators Scott
and Carter, who modestly admit that
they are the champion entertainers
of the country.
Senator Stone of Missouri "has been
shown" but has not yet given expert
testimony on the subject of their
claims. Several dispensers of refresh
ments declare that Carter and Scott
know how to buy. They eulogize the
princely spending powers, of the two
senators and will cheerfully give them
letters of recommendation.

He never transEressed the rules Of

the earliest rlsers entered the morning
room to saunter about the sideboards
and investigate the simmering contents
of silver covered dishes on the warm
ers.
The fragrance of coffee was pleas
antly perceptible. Men In conventional
shooting attire roamed about the room,
selected what they cared for and car
ried it to the table. Mrs. Mortimer
was there consuming peaches that
matched her complexion. Marion
Page, always more congruous in field
costume and belted jacket than In
anything else. and always, like her
own hunters, infinitely groomed. was
preparing breakfast for her own
consumption with the leisurely preci-

discussed prospects between bites, at
tentiye to the monosyllabic opinions OF
Miss Page. Her twin brothers, Cor
don and Willis, shyly consuming oat-
meal, listened respectfully and waited
on their sister at the slightest lifting
OF her thinly arched eyebrows.
Into this company sauntered Siward

yet the enemy had set upon him no
proprietary insignia save rather be-
coming pallor and faint blush shad>
ows under the eyes. He strolled about,
exchanging arniable greetings, and
presently selected a chilled grape fruit
as his breakfast. Opposite him Morti-

full bracer of an apple soaked in port,
raised his heavy inhamed eyes with a
significant leer at the iced grape fruit.

Members of the Minnesota delega-

adopted by the Minneapolis clearing
house opposing the Aldrich bill and an
extension of bond-secured currency:
favoring establishment of central
bank, and favoring the postal savings
bank system when central bank shall
have been established, and strongly OPP
posing insurance of bank deposits. The
members are gratified that their action
in opposition to the Aldrich bill is SO
strongly Endorsed by the united banks
of Minneapolis.
They are not quite so ready to agree
to the other propositions of the clear
ing house, especially those relating to
the establishment of a central bank,
and the insurance Of bank deposits. It
is conceded here that no plan for
central bank can receive. favorable con-
sideration at this time in congress. The
plan for the insurance Of bank depos-
it's, as favored by Senator Nelson, Is
meeting with much favorable comment
in both senate and house.
