Langdon. land there are more like you
in the senate all because the voters
have no chance to choose their own
senators. The public in most states
has to take the kind of senator that
the legislature. made up mostly of
politicians. feels like making them
take. You, Peabody, wouldn't be in
the senate today if the voters had any
thing to say about it"
The Pennsylvania shrugged his
shoulders.

millions that are to be spent"
The senator sank back in his chair
and gazed at his two opponents.
Those two statesmen jumped to their
feet.

I Haines, relnstated as secretary, was
! picking up the thread of routine where
he had dropped 1t the day before
though his frequent thought of Hope

this task unusually difficult. He i'm
patiently wished the afternoon to
hasten along, as he knew he would

where she would go to hear her fa-
TIERS speech
This speech had to be revised in
some particulars by Bud, and the work
he knew would take up much of his
morning. The senator's speech was
"The South of the Future" which he
would deliver when recognized by the
president of. the senate in connection
with the naval base bill, that officer
having agreed to recognize Langdon at
$3.50, at which time the report of the
naval affairs committee would be re-
ceived. Just how Langdon would turn
the tables on Peabody and Stevens and
yet win for the Altacoola site not even
the eX-newspaper man, experienced in
politics, had solved. Clearly the sena-
tor would have to do some tall think
ing during the morning.
The Junior senator from Mississippi
burst into the office with his habitual
CHEEKY greeting, his broad brhnmed !
black felt hat in it's usual position on
the back of his head, like a symbol OF |
defiance.
"a busy day for us, eh. senator?"
queried Bud.

Inventor Davy and Love.

Sir Humphry Davy. the inventor of
the Davy lamp, found love something
of a delusion. if not a snare. Writing
to his mother, he said, Il am the hap
piest of men in the hope of union
with a woman equally distinguished
for virtues. talents and accomplish
ments." And in letter to his brother
he expresses his rapture thus: Mrs.
Annrece has consented to marry me,
and when the event takes place shall
not envy kings, princes or potentates."
The widow must have been a person
possessed of great powers Of fascina-
ton, for Sir Henry Holland makes
mention of her as a lady who made
such a sensation in Edinburgh society
that even regius professor did not
think it beneath his scholarship to go
down on his knees in the street to fas-
ten her shoe. The sequel need not be
dwelt upon further than TO add that
the marriage turned out to be alto
