He must try to keep Stevens from hearing Of this days blunder, for Jim Stevens knew as well as he, didn't he, that the man who loses his temper, like the man who talks too much, is of no use in politics.
 T want to know how you formed your opinion of political matters-of senators. Is it possible, sir. that you have actual knowledge of actual hap penings that give you the right to talk as you have? want to know if must feel shame, feel disgrace, sir, to be a senator from Mississippi, that state, sir, that the Almighty himself, sir, would choose to live in If he came to earth"
 There, there, senator, don't take too seriously what I have said" Sanders replied in reassuring tone, having out lined his course of action. ''I lost my head because you wouldn't promise me something I needed-that appointment for HagIey. What I said about sena- tors an such was all wild words nothin' in lem. Why, how could there be, senator?' This query was happy afterthought which Sanders craftily suggested in a designedly artless man. ner.
 Just what thought and know!' ex- claimed Langdon sharply. Tt couldn't be; it isn't possible. Now you go, sir, and let 1t be your greatest disgrace that you are not fit to enter any gen tleman's house."
 "Oh. don't rub it in too hard, senator. You may need my help some day, but you'll have to deliver the goods before hand"
 ''I said, Cor"
 "I'm goin'. but here's a tip. Don't blame me for tightin' you. I've got to fight to live. I'm a human bein', an humans are pretty much the same all over the world, all except you-you're only half natural. The rest of you is reformer."
 After Sanders departure the colonel sat at his table, his head resting in his hand. the events of the day crowding his brain bewilderingly.

 O affectionately known to his tn- inmates for years. He carried his 23O pounds with ease, bespeaking great muscular power in spite of his gray hairs. His rugged courage, unswerv- ing honesty and ready belief in his friends won him a loyal following, some of whom frequently repeated what was known as Bill Langdon's Golden Rule:"
 There never was a man yet who didn't have some good in him, but most folks don't know this because their own virtues pop up and blind 'em when they look at somebody else"
 At the reunions of his old war com rades Langdon was always depended on to describe once again how the Third Mississippi charged at Craw- louisville and defeated the Eighth Hi nois. But the stirring events of the past had served to increase the plant CTS fondness for his home life and his children, whose mother had died years before At times he regretted that his unexpected political duties would take him away from the old plantation even though the enthusiastic approval of Carolina and Hope Georgia proved con siderable compensation.
 Although not sworn in as senator, Colonel Langdon's political duties were already pressing. A few days after Congressman Norton's visit he sat in lis library conferring with several prominent citizens of his county re- garding a plan to ask congress to ap- propriate money to dredge a portion of the channel of the Pearl river, which would greatly aid a large sec tion of the state.
 During the deliberations the name of Martin Sanders was announced by Jackson, the colonel'S gravely deco rous negro bodyguard, who boasted that he ''wuz brung up by Cunei Marse Langdon, suh, q fghtin' Mississippi cunel, sub, sence long befo' de wah and way befo' dat, suh."
 Show Mr. Sanders right in," com manded Colonel Langdon.
 Good day, senator" spoke Sanders, the boss of seven counties, as he en- tered Glancing around the room, he ~NAN mel and muff1ing his now whispering voice with his hand: "I want to speak to you alone. I'm here on politics"
 That's all right, but these gentle men here are my friends and cOnstitu- ents," was the reply in no uncertain voice. "When I talk politics they have a perfect right to hear what I, as their senator, say. Out with 1t, MT. Sanders
 As Sanders was introduced to the members of the conference he grew red in the face and stared at Langdon amazed. At last he had discovered something new in politics. Say" he finally blurted, when I talk business I"-
 Are you in politics as a business?" quickly spoke Colonel Langdon.

Connecticut western news., 1909-02-25

''TheTn noble tCJtStt- AL tnlS polnC the torS 1UdS nIine." gentlemen of the county present when Sanders entered and who had no desire to witness fur ther the unpleasant episode rose to leave, in spite of the urgent request of Colonel LanGdon that they remain. The only one reluctant to go was Dea- con Amos SmallwOOd, who. coming to the plantation to seek employment for his son, had not been denied of his de sire to join the assemblage of his neighbors.
 Last to move toward the door, be stopped in front of Sanders, stretched his five feet three inches of stature on tiptoe and shook a withered fist in the boss firmly set, determined face.
 "Infamousr' shrieked the deacon. You're a monster! You're unright- eous! You should have belonged to the political machine of Cataline or Pon- tius Pilate?'
 "Never heard tell O them" muttered Sanders, deeply puzzled. Guess they was never in Mississippi in my time"
 His accompanying gesture of per plexity caused the deacon to hasten his exit. Tripping over the leg of a chair, he fell headlOng into the arms of the watchful Jackson, who received the deacons blessing for uplifting the righteous in the hour of their fall" Relieved at the departure of the wit nesses, Sanders showed increased az gressiveness. 'To be sure, senator, you were careful not to personally nrnr0ioo nxvth at the election, as you say," the leader sneered, 'but you had Jim Stevens to make promises for you, which was smooth, absolute an artistic smooth"-
 Stop, sirr' Langdon furiously shout ed. You forget, sir, that your insinu- atiOn is an insult to man elected sen | ator from Mississippi, an insult to my state and to my friend Senator Ste vens, who know would make you no promises for me, for he had not my i authority"
 Certainly you're a senator, but what's senator anyhow? I'll tell you, MT. Colonel Langdon, a senator is man who holds out for his own pocket as much as us fellows that make him will stand for. When we don't get our rightful share, he's through"
 With a sudden start, as though to spring. at Sanders throat, Langdon, with compressed lips and eyes blaz- ing, grasped the edge of the table with a grip that threatened to rend l the polished boards. With intensest effort he slowly regained control of himself. His fury had actually weak l ened him. His knees shook, and he sank weakly into a chair. When he finally spoke his voice was strained and laborious. Sanders, you and I, sir must never meet again because I might not succeed again in keeping my hands off you. What would my old comrades of the Third Mississippi say if they saw me sitting here and you there with a whole body, sir, after what you have said? They would not believe their eyes, thank God, sir. They would all go over to Stuart City and buy new eyeglasses, sir" A sus- picious moisture appeared on the colo nePs cheeks which he could not dry too quickly to escape Sanders observa- 1 tion.
 But I had to let you stay, sir, be- cause you, the sole accuser, are the only one who can tell me what I must know"
 What do you want to know?' asked Sanders. who had realized his great

 "Ain't it the limit?' remarked the chief clerk to Bud Haines, correspond ent of the New York Star. The sen ator wrote us that he was coming here because his old friend, the late Sen ator Moseley. said back in 'T5 that this was the best hotel in Washington and where all the prominent men ought to stay"
 Haines. the ablest political reporter fin Washington, had come to the Inter national to interview the new senator, to describe for his paper what kind of q citizen Langdon was.

why" asks our Washington cor
respondent, Should Dancy not re-
main on the job?" One pretty good
reason is that he has been on that
same job for about eight years; an
other is, there are a few thousand
others who contributed largely to the
success of the Republican ticket, last
fall; and still another is, men whose
constituency have votes which send
Republicans to the electoral college
deserve more consideration at the
hands of the administration than
those representing sure Democratic
states. 1t is not Mr.. Dancy's fault,
but his misfortune that he lives in
North Carolina where Negroes are
counted only for the purpose Of con-
gressional representation.
