Congressman Charles Il. Townsend
United States senator In 1911 wher
the term OF Hon. Julius Catsar Bur
rows expires, is today the guest of the
copper country, having arrived In
Houghton last evening from the iron
country. The primary object OF Mr.
Townsend's visit is to renew old ac-
quaintanships and make new friends
He makes no secret of his senatorial
candidacy and when asked why he
aspired to the office, replied by asking
why does any man want to become
United States senator?"
Mr.. Townsend was met at the South
Shore station last night by II. H. Daw-
son, OF Houghton, who is a boyhood
chum. The two grew into manhood in
the little town OF Concord, this state,
and 1t rs now some years since they
last met The greeting between the
old chums last night was most cordial.
Besides Mr.. Dawson there were three
newspaper men ON hand to welcome
the congressman, who greeted them in
his affable manner and soon made
himself quite friendly.
This is Congressman Townsends
third visit TO the copper country, the
first being when the Michigan bankers
came here some years ago and the
second on the occasion of the annual
meeting here OF the Lake Superior
Mining institute three years past. on
these occasions Mr.. Townsend did not
meet as many people as he would have
liked, so having business this week in
the upper peninsula he availed himself
of the opportunity afforded to cover
more thoroughly this section of the
state.
The congressman came 10 Escanaba
n week ago today TO address meeting
OF the Escanaba Business Mems asso-
citation. and the evening following talk
ed at Menominee. Since then he has
been royalty entertained at Sault Ste.
Marie, Marquette, Ishpeming and Ne
gaunee, and has enjoyed his trip i'm
mensely. Mr.. Townsend is a congenial
and interesting parsonage. Somewhat

CHAPTER ~.

While Miss Greene sat chatting with
neglected the duties of his high office,
Vernon went out into the rotunda,
lighted cigarette, glanced over the
pamphlets. and tried to arrange the
heads of his speech in his mind.
At the thought of the speech, ver
non grew cold and limp with nevous-
ness. His hands were clammy, his
knees trembled, his mouth became dry
and parched, and the cigarette he had
lighted impaired all at once an evil
taste. Yet he smoked on, and as he
wandered around the rotunda, men
from both houses, passing to and fro,
greeted him, but they seemed to him
to be strange new creatures fitting by
in a dream. If he was conscious of
them at all 1t was only as of envied
beings, all on common happy plane,
fortunate ones who did not have to
make speech within the hour. He
went over to the state library, think
ing that its quiet would soothe, but
when he stood among the tall stacks
of books he suddenly remembered that
he must not smoke in those precincts;
and SO he turned out into the rotunda
again, for he must smoke. He walked
round and round the rotunda, pausing
at times to lean over the brass railing
anil look far down to the main floor
where the red light glowed at the
cigar stand; he sauntered back into
the dim and undisturbed corridors, his
mind racing over all the things he
might say.

glance she gave them was question.

Brownwell OF Cook.
Vernon devoted half an hour to
bringing senators to meet Maria
Greene. 1t was not difficult work,
though 1t had its disadvantages; it
did not allow vernan to remain with
her long at time. But at last It was
done, and he found moment alone
with her. She had given him some
pamphlets on equal suffrage.
"Ah. If you could only address the
senate!" he exclaimed, in open admi-
ration. And then, as II an inspiration
had come to him, he added:
Perhaps I could arrange IT.; 1t has

hand to stay him.

protested.

which the lieutenant-governor sat,

while the secretary read senate bills

Trim Your Nails.

There is certain eminent physician
who. wiser than the children of light,
plods his way along in an unbeaten
track and has no peer as a diagnosti-
clan. He is always accompanied by
an expert manicurist. instead Of a
white or colored valet "The human
nail, like the human hair" he said
to me, is much affected by physical
conditions. BARRIERS will tell you that
in certain seasons the beard, for in
stance. grows nearly twice as fast as
at others. 1t is so with the nails. At
times. according to how we feel, the
free edge may be month In growing;
there is some retarding agent. At
other times 1t may grow in a week.
Sometimes the nail has transverse
burrows, indicating periods of illness.
At other times 1t bears burrows run
ming lengthwise-a sure indication of
gout. Ny manicurist can tell by these
indications when your last sickness
occurred, and can tell what the NAL
ady was"
