Ruggeiro has hardly time to drag his
sword out or one before It is plunged
into another. The noise Is deafening.
The old woman's Is not the only
"brava" now, and no one laughs. On
come the hideous, black creatures. their
great heads wobbling savagely. Some
of them drop even before they reach
the sword. When the Moors are all
gone Ruggiero calls for more and
pirates are served to him-thin, brown,
wiry little men, with diabolic faces.
At last Ruggiero has to mount upon the
dead to slay the living as they come on.
The roar Of his achievements browns
the rush of the electric cars outside.
When there Is nothing more to be
killed and he is apparently alone In
Sicily In a series Of spasmOdio jerks,
he mounts to the very apex OF the
slaughtered pile before him and calls
on heaven to witness that not one atom
of his strength is gone and that he will
now search to the last recess or the
distant mountains for his Claudiana.

At first it does strike you as ridicu-
lous, as crude and very childish. Only
your innate superiority keeps you from
laughing outright when Ruggiero,

in tin plate, with a sword like an up
rooted fence post attached to his gigan-
tic wooden fist, comes striding in. The
army follows one by one. each soldier

next is brought on. Then the blood
thirsty midget, with many fierce move

many rafting thumps of his tin en-

army to the service of God and his
king and incidentally his own and all
their lives to the rescue OF Claudiana.

mail Special to the Advertiser.

Mall Special to the Advertlser.)
WASHINGTON. May 16.-The Scrip
tural adage that the blind shall lead the
blind is no deterrent to Democratic
Senators. They are putting forth as
the chief antagonist of Senator Eugene
Hale, of Maine, Senator Thomas Pryor
Gore, of Oklahoma, and daily he is
leading them in their opposition to Sen
ator Hale's recently emphasized doe
trine that the tariff does not, but that
wholesalers and retailers do, make the
cost of living excessive.
1t was not the original Democratic
intention that Senator Gore should
stand forth as chief disputant with
the Maine Senator. The minority par
ty was ready enough to dispute the
Maine Senator Is assertions. Its mem
bers began to gather data and to search
for information which would confound
all the Republicans. OF course, they
Immediately seized upon the protests of
the wholesalers and the retailers the
country over that they had been mis-
represented in the argument and that
they were not getting excessive profits
upon the sale of their wares
Senator Gore was one of the fore
most to jump into the arena against
Senator Hale on the very first day, when
Senator Hale took up the glass water
pitcher story, told by Senator Scott,
of West Virginia, who asserted that the
manufacturers charged only 80 cents a
dozen for them. Senator Gore, Just
when the argument was raging about
high protection reducing the cost of
manufacture, wanted TO know how high
protection must be to make the manu-,
| facturers furnish their goods free. It
was regarded at the time, as some one
in the press gallery expressed it, as a
'jOke for the groundlings but some
how or other it stuck. Senator Gore
kept pressing the advantage he had
gained and the Democratic leaders be
gan to see some possible advantage il

ed the resolution, authorizing the FL
nance Committee to inquire as to the
profits made by wholesalers and retail
ers and there again he and Senator
Hale faced each other. There is prom
Use Of more tiffs between them as the
tariff orators catch up that now rather
famous inquiry as to who gets the prof
its accruing from high protection, if
any excessive profits do accrue, and
as to how much the middle men and
retailers pocket.
The Republicans admit that it is
rather difficult to conduct an argument
with the blind Senator They do not
feel like handling a blind man quite
as roughly as they would an antagonist
who can see. When he arises in his
seat for an interruption the most i'm
petuous orator has to yield, even though
he would bowl over a man with two
good eyes who sought to retard his
oratorical momentum. They have to
listen patiently to what he has to say
and to treat him with the utmost cour-
tesy, or risk losing the sympathy of
the Senate as well as of larger con.
stituency. Many Senator on the Re
publican side goes through this expert
enee and then hurries off to his com
mittee room to say sneering things
about Oklahoma sending such a man
to the Senate. They are fond of re-
peating cynically the popular appeal on
which Mr. Gore won his toga:
81 do not ask you to vote for me
on account of myself, but for the little
brown-eyed woman, who is by my
side. - )
The blind Senator, of course, is not
at all profound, but he has most valu-
bic flow of language and a ringing voice
that captivates strangers. His afflic-
ton has made his other senses all the
more acute, as generally happens with
blind persons. His memory is reten-
tive and it is little short of marvellous
the way he stands up in his seat and
repeats figures and quotations from
documents that are the subject of de-
bate or have some bearing thereon. He
acquires this information by listening
very patiently. Of those who furnish
him with information. none is more as
slduOus than that same little brown
eyed wife, for whom he made his appeal
for election. She reads the Congress
sional Record and the newspapers and
a~lot of documents and papers bearing
upon questions that are under consider
alton in Congress. The Senator is him,

debates and gets a vast amount of in
formation out of them. In fact he
learns more from the Senate debates
than any other Senator. because he
finds that the easiest way of keeping
informed. The debates suggest numer
Gus things to him for inquiry and in
working up these inquiries Mrs. Gore
| aids him greatly
Nowadays the Democrats are giving
him material every day and talking
TO him how to present it to meet the
| tactics of the Republican majority. He
| enjoys keenly the new prominence that
the contention with Senator Hale has
