THE BLIND SENATOR FROM OKLAHOMA

are addressing, and frequently speak
either to the right or left Of him.
Thus far the blind senator has not
sought to participate in the proceed
ings, but as one senator put 1t, "he
is soaking in the atmosphere"
When ready he is expected to con-
tribute one of the spectacular
speeches of the session, because he Is
a strong, virile speaker, a fine elocu-
ZIONIST of the rough and ready sort,
quick at repartee and with an amaz-
ing command OF words.
Mr.. Gore has been in his seat the
full length Of every session since he
took office, sparing few minutes in
the cloak rooms, to which senators
flee to escape being bored by long
winded speeches.
And every minute he is in his seat
"the little brown-eyed woman" Mrs.
Thomas p. Gore, sits in the gallery,
watching every gesture OF the man to
whose election she contributed more
than any one else. The senator him
self calls her "his eyes and right
hand" and says she knows more
about parliamentary law and politics
than any other woman in the coun-
try. She accompanies him to the
senate and takes him away at the
close Of the day She takes down the
speeches he dictates, attends to his
mail and supplies every function that
his slghtless eyes cannot perform.

Perhaps the most interesting per-
r sonality in the present senate Is
Thomas p. Gore. the blind senator
from Oklahoma. Doubled up in his
suuare-armed chair, the figure Is that
of a fat. pudgy boy with a round
bullet head, Of which the drawn,
contracted brows, the long straight,
prominent nose and the thick lips
are the most conspicuous features.
When. with thick hickory cane firm
ly gripped in the right hand and
thrust forward. the figure straightens
up, long-hipped and very erect.
The head Is always lifted and thrust
forward. The blind senator has
way while sitting, Of holding his face
on a line with the action for the mo-
ment commanding attention-for in
stance, that Of a senator speaking or
the clerk reading. With his cane in
his right hand, his left drums on the
dask at which he sits. He has a way
Of swapping the thumb and fingers OF
his left hand. During his first few
days in the senate alert page boys
took this for a summons.
The boyish-lookIng oklahoma SEN
ator-he is In the early 4O's-has one
characteristic unusual in blind per-
sons. He addresses with accurate
modulatlon OF voice the person to
he is speaking. Most blind men and
women experience great difficulty in
"getting the range" Of the person they

Heney In Convictions.
That the president has pardoned
S. A. d. Puter, the land frauder at
the request of Frances ]. Heney is a
matter of record. A short history of
the crime for which he served time
will refresh the readers mind.
S. A. d. Puter was arrested and
convicted by Frances ]. Heney for
what is known as the III land fraud
case. With him in this deal were
Mrs. Emma L. Watson, Horace Nc
Kinley, Marie Ware, now Mrs. Nc
Klnley, Dan w. Tarpley and others.
The trial began November 81, 1904,
and he was convicted December
and was sentenced to serve two years
imprisonment and to pay a fine of
$500. All of the defendants were
found guilty, but Puter was the only
one to receive sentence and the only
one who has served a term of i'm
prisonment.
Mckinley fled the country and went
to China, where he was arrested and
is now being brought back to this
country. On July 6, 1906, Puter was
sentenced to serve two years in the
county Jail and he has served about
year and half. In addition to the
Jail sentence Puter was to pay a fine
Of $500, but 1t is believed that the
fine will now be wiped out with the
pardon.
Puter decided to turn against those
with whom he was connectd in his
crooked land dealings, because they
turned him down. He has made
friends with all the government Off
cials since reaching that decision
There was not halfway measures
when Puter decided to tell what he
kned to Heney and it was through
Puter that practically all of the land
fraud convictions were made possible
Whatever Puter might have been
he has made good to Heney. Every
thing that he promised when he
, turned states evidence and there is
not man connected with the federal
government in Portland who does not
speak highly of Puter. He. has been
model prisoner and has taken his
medicine without a word Of COM

Many people in the cities have an
annual arrangement with poultrymen
at distance for eggs the year around
at one price. Families pitch in and
get crate per week. They can smack
their lips in eggs-ultation while others
growl like all creation.
The fellow who is too stingy TO pay

sneakS them nj the store where the
poultryman trades eggs is q weasel.
Fortunately few high class breeding
eggs set to the store. and those that do
are fixed. That fixes 'em.
The SureSt way to get fresh eggs is
TO become i private customer Of n

lay the year around. and he must feed
scientifically and keep his hens in sani-
