CHESTERFIELD OF THE SENATE

Senator McIaurin of Mississippi is perhaps the most gallant member of congress. He never lets an op- porLunity escape to say nice thinga about women. They are telling a good joke about him in this con nection.
 The senator and Mrs. McLaurin recently called upon some friends. There they met congressional friend and his wife. The senator took occasion to compliment the woman several times during the eve ming upon her good looks, charming gown, etc. The host brought up the subject of politics and handed the senator a newspaper clipping in which reference was made to him.
 II will take it home with me, if you don't mind," said the senator. q neglected to bring my glasses with me, and I am practically blind without them. ."-Baltimore News.

WAS MASTER OF PROFANITY.
Senator severidge Admits That at One Time fie Had Hard Work
 to Break Bad Habit.

An interesting story told by the Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati Times-Star recalls the fact that Senator Albert J. Bev- eridge of Indiana once lived in kan sas. After the future senator had finished school he went norih ana worked in a logging camp, and thcH decided 10 come to the SunfioWer state. He was persuaded to stop at Dighton. and there entered the real estate business. One day there was trouble at Dighton and a neektle party was being arranged for a cer- tain offender Beyeridge mounted a dry goods box and talked the lynch CTS out of the idea, literally saving the intended victims life.
 The Times-Star story gives Bey- eridge's version:
 "What was your hardest struggle in life, senator MT. Beyerldge was asked one day.
 "To quit eussing," said he; q learned howato swear hard enough to impress the loggers, and it was years before 1 could break myself of the habit. But it helped save my life one time. I was in lit tie COW town in western Kansas when a mob undertook to lynch a drunken man for stealing a mule. l believed him innocent, and l man. aged to outclass that crowd. And then the man who preferred the charge came after me and l cussed him out so that he put his gun back in his holster and went away"

ROUND TOWERS OF IRELAND.

The round towers of Ireland are
 certain tall, slender circular towers
 of stone, found in various parts of that country. They are about 120 in
 number and vary in height from 100 to 120 feet. They were built be- tween the nlnth and twelfth cen turies, and were doubtless for re- ligious purposes, as they seem to have always been in the neigh borhood of churches or mon- astelles. These round towers also served as places of refuge in times of danger, and, after the in- troduction of bells, were used as bell towers. Three similar towers are also found in Scotland, at Brechin, Albernethy and Eglishay in Orkney.

"Many a license is bought with small coins of various denominations. Of course, dollar in nickels and dimes is as good to the city as whole paper bill, but the outlook for the bride and bridegroom seems dubious.

SITTING ON A MEMPE1'S HAT
Humorous Incident That Relieves Tension of Party Feeling in the
 British Parliament.

The house is always hugely de lighted when member sits on hls hat, and the incident, though by nc means inf~equent, never seems to pail, says the London Globe.
 As matter of fact the membe who provides some such relief as this at a time when party feeling runs high does a considerable though un- witting service. It is matter ol common observation that the ten sion between parties is always sen sibly relaxed when one of these lit tle incidents has occurred.
 The most famous hat incident took place when the late Mir. Glad stone was premier for the third time and had to intervene on a point oI order after division had been called. The rules require that in such circumstances the member ad' dressing the chair must do so Win his hat on, and Mr. Gladstone could not find his hat
 In despair he grabbed that of a colleague, which was at least foul sizes too small for him, and the spectacle of the minute headgeal rocking about on Mr. Gladstone's massive head was one that those who saw it will never forget.
