Miss Reid is thoroly charm
ing young lady, with no airs, and
| like all American girls, knows just eS'
actly what to do under certain condi
| tions, especially social ones. Then, TOO
! it is related that King Edward is very
| fond of her, and that when she was
yet girl in short dresses he referred
to her as that beautiful child" Well
now, You know that certainly is stretch
ing things a little. Miss Reid at the
age when the King noticed her first was
simply .gangling." She was about as
wide out as a match, and no norf
shape to her. She is all of five feet
seven inches tall now, and as thin as
she can well be and keep clothes on
She is vivacious and delightfully."- girl
ish, but "beautifuI''-well, hardly. Her
intended is six feet tall, rather hand
some, and dead game sport-so they
say.
If you see it in the Senate part OF
the Record, you can rest assured that
the words were spoken upon the floor.
In the House pages and pages are taken
up with speeches that the member new
er even opened his mouth to make.
Senator Warner has been suffering with
throat affection, and has been unable
to complete his speech on the Browns
vile matter. He asked permission of
the Senate to have his remarks con-
tinued in the Record, but the privilege
was denied him. The Senate has never
gone into that foolish habit and it has
again decided that it never will.
Senator Davis (Arkansas, you re-
member him) certainly isn't quality"
as the colored people love to designate
real men and women, because, you
know, he does so many things that are
not what real gentleman would do.
For instance, he never by any chance
says negro" and disdains "colored
people" ''Nigger" is his favorite term.
and the one oftenest on his tongue. The
other day he got to roaring about the
pretty expression to use about anybody? :?
The subject under discussion was the
Choctaw and Chickasaw Indians, who
claim that they have been cheated of
their rights. The right of the two
tribes is not under discussion here, but
it is probable that if it has been possi-
BILE to get what they possess some
slouch of a white man has swiped the
pot. Just as Senator Davis got into
good speaking trim they closed the
doors of the House, 700 feet distant 50
that his yelling would not disturb the
members of that body. OF course, it
was impossible to stop the jingling of
the glasses down in the restaurant or
the glass panels in the ceiling. and
Senators stuffed their ears with cotton
and hiked to cloak rooms. About that
time Senator Foraker entered the
Chamber and took his seat. Senator
Davis saw him. and turned his high
voltage batteries in the direction of the
Ohio Senator "I observe" he said
that the Senator from Ohio. who last
week talked to a gallery full of niggers.
is in his seat IF the Senator from
Ohio is anxious to do something for the
niggers, this is his chance. Is the Sem
ator from Ohio anxious to perform a
real service tc these nigger-Indians. to
whom this injustice is being done?"
Senator Foraker looked mildly
around the Senate Chamber as tho
looking for a mouse that had squeaked,
and then. leaning forward, with his
hand to his ear in listening attitude, he
said: zEE - Zf
81 beg pardon, but will the Senator
from Arkansaw repeat his question a.
little louder. please"
1t isn't etiquet for the Senators to
laugh aloud. but some of them fairly
shook in; their seats at the look of be-
wilderment on the face of the Senator
from "Arkansaw,''' who did not catch"
for SECOND, but when he did he went
fustered, and soon sat down.
Mark II. Davis, the specially appoint
ed Commissioner of the Bureau of
Commerce and Labor, is ready for

trip was discussed with his chief, Mr..

McCreary. the horseman wounded by
Representative Hefiin. of Alabama, in
the unfortunate shooting scrape on the
street car, was last week able to leave
the hospital and was taken to his faith
er's home liz the East. A ridiculous
Glory GOT ont that Renres sentative Hadin
had bought him off for $2,500. so that
he would not sue for damages. This
Representative Hefin denies, and so
does Mr.. McCreary. Mr.. Hefiin paid
all the expenses of every kind attend

Mr.. McCreary does not hold anything

affair.
BY the way, Mr.. Hefiin was on his
way to deliver a lecture on temperance
To the w. C. II. U. at the time he shot
the negro, Lundy. and Mr.. McCreary.
To be really temperate" one must be
temperate In all things, should not one? :?
The performance of Mr.. Hefiin Is not
unlike those things which happen in
story books to the man who has been
drinking. Romance is seldom founded
on the temperate" mans shooting up
the town because he got mad.
