Allison has not only attained the honor
f having served in the United States

distinction of being the oldest member
of that body with one exception. Tnr
exception is senator Whyte, of Mart
land, who is now in his eighty-fuirih
year. A year ago Senator Allison was
fourth on the list of Senators in point
of age, but the passing Of Senators
Nor an and Ptttns, of Alabama, put
the Iowa Senator up to second dlace.

TAFT, THE BoYIsH GIANT.

boyhood to now, from the bulkine
youth, .who out-wrestled every one at
Yale to the quick footed fighting
elephant OF our modern politics"

his party can carry the country, we
gather incidents which speak Of his
courage, his strength, his self-sacri-
fee, his endurance, his justice, his
patience. his humor, his wholesome
ness, his flrmness, his intense human
ness. He affords us the convincing
example that man may smile and
smile and still be strong as a giant
and firm as a rock. He shows US
how true was the word of the late
Senator Hoar that the best boy has
something manly about him, and the
best man has much OF the boy In
him." Taft Is a man many Of whose
ways are those of boy, big
husky, rollicking boy, ever ready for a
laugh or joke or prank, yet never
over stepping the bounds OF dignity,
mixing jest and laughter with work,
always bright and sunny. yet always

At college we see him declining to
accept a class post of honor because
some one had questioned the regular

we see him giving sound and well
