carefully consider what OF man

would have considerable intercourse
with Peabody In the processes OF legis-
latjon and finally had to admit TO him

Langdon could not at this time make
certain. but he was mystiHed by traces
of contradictions In the senator's char

nevertheless. Peabody's cordially and
sympathy were to Langdon's mind
partly genuine and partly false. Just
what was the cause Of or the necessity

His talk with these famous lawmak-'
ers was unsatisfactory also In that ID
bad conveyed to Langdon the sugges-
tion that the senate was not primarily
= great forum for the general and ac-
tive consideration OF weighty mems
ures and Of national policies. II had
been his Idea that the senate was priI

of Peabody and Stevens had limited I'd

ual interest that outwelghed public or
national considerations. For instance. \

The strength OF a child.

II is surprising to find how few parents
know the great strength giving qualities
of good oatmeal. Most of them think
of it as a food for the sturdy Scotch or
the brawpy Englishman, and overlook
its value as a food for children. Every
now and then a mother will take to feed
ing her children on Quaker Oats and
will be astonished at their improvement
in strength and vigor. OF course. she
tells her friends, and they prove it for
themselves, but every mother in the
country should see that her children are
strong and vigorous. Plenty of Quaker
Oats, eaten often, will do it.
Put up in two sizes, the regular pack
age l0c, and the large family size 25a
which is more convenient for those who
do not live in town.
Don't miss a day; eat Quaker Oats
every morning for breakfast.
The Quaker Oats Company is adj
verising Quaker Oats griddle cakes.
They say that these cakes are the
most popular dish served in their New
York cereal restaurant. Children es-

was a leader. and a strong one too. But
Senator Langdon had not yet learned
VI the many founts from which polit-
Zeal strength and political leadership
may be gained.
What he finally decided on was the
engaging OF a secretary. but he must
be Que with knowledge OF political OPP
e~rntions. one who combined wisdom
with honesty. Such an aid could pre-
vent L.angdon from making the many
mistakes that invariably mark the new
man In politics. and he could point out
the most effective modes OF procedure
under given circumstances. IL might
prove difficult TO End a man OF the nee.
essary qualifications who was not al
ready employed. but in the meantime
Langdon would watch the playing OF
the game himself and make his own
deductions as best he could.
The senator started toward the hotel
desk to ask regarding the whereabouts
OF bis sou Randolph when his atten.
ton was caught by the sight OF three
powerful negro porters e~ndeavorlng to
thrust outdoors n thrcadbare old man.
The victims flowing white hair. white

was urging as be jerked the old man
toward the door.
The Mississippian's fighting blood
was Instantly aroused at such treat
ment OF a respectable old white man
by negroes. His lips tightly compress
ed as he hurried to the rescue. He
cried sharply.
Take your hands OF that gentle
man! What do you mean by touching
a friend of mine"
The negroes stepped back amazed.
"scuse me, senator, is this gent'man
\ friend Of yours" the head porter
Easped alphabetically.
Langdon looked at him.
You heard what | said, he drawled
