truth that many of the men listed in the
way from $1OOO,O0O to $6O,OOO,OOO each
would be willing to take 10 per cent. of
these estimates in cash today.
Run over the names of the wealthy
men of the Senate" continued Mr.. Ell
kins '"There are admittedly some
wealthy men among it's members. They
are nothing like as rich as they are rep
resented to be, but with only one or two
exceptions you will find they are self
made men, who started in very modest
circumstances.
SIN some ways this kind of exaggerat-
ed talk about millionaires predominating
in the Senate is not just. | have per-
sonal knowledge from my long business
associations that the figures are greatly
exaggerated. Observers familiar with
affairs here know that very rich men do
not control in matters of legislation.
They bear their part of the work, ac-
cording TO their ability and service, just
as do all other senators"
Another senator, probably as rich as
Mr. Elkins. but who would not allow his
name to be used, declares that fully one
fourth of the ninety-two senator's have
little else than their salaries of $500 a
year Another fourth of the ninety-twO
have somewhere between $4,000 and
$4,000. The personal fortunes of an
other quarter of the Senate range be-
tween $4,000 or 100000 and $50O,000
Most of this class of twenty-odd, the
senator thought, were worth between
500 900 and 100000. The other quar-
ter comprised senator's all worth one-half
a million, and probably ten or twelve
only entitled to be called millonaires, not
muIti-millionaires, but simply worth from
one TO ten millions

Camel Better Than Horse.

Costing about as much as a good
horse the camel's speed is equally great,
his life considerably longer and his
ability to carry a load equal to that of
three horses, while the fact that he can
travel for week, or, if necessary,
nearly two weeks without water renders
him Invaluable to those great sandy
stretches. He can also go for several
days with little or no food subsisting
meantime upon the fat stored up in the
humps on his back, which nature seems
to have provided as a storehouse for
s,lstenance in case Of absence of food.
