HOW HE GOT INTO POLITICS
Senator Scott of West Virginia Tells
How He Started Public
Career.

Senator Scott of West Virginia was
telling a few friends the other day
how he happened to get into politics,
He was working for German who
had established manufacturing plant
in Wheeling. The man had buildings
on both sides of the street, and 1t was
necessary to have a connection be.
tween the two for transferring mate.
rials to the factory. It was proposed
to do this by means of an overhead
crossing, but the city council refused
to grant the permit.
Scott told the manufacturer that he
believed it could be brought about by
getting into politics and electfng Re
publican council. So it was arranged.
and man picked out here and there,
Scott himself being a candidate from
one of the wards. The result was
that at the next election the Repub-
licans had a majority of the council
and the request of the German manu-
facturer was granted. From that time
on Scott remained in politics, as he
had demonstrated that he knew how
to manage campaigns to the best ad-
vantage. It is needless to say that
the German has been one Of SCOTS
stanchest supporters from the be-
ginning.

away. The deserted rows. few though
they are, in the diplomatic gallery
seem to Indicate complete absence
of foreign interest in our legislative
machinery.
On ordinary occasions strangers are
surprised to notice, both in the sen
ate gallery and in that Of the house
an empty row in the most advan'
tageous location. That in the house
is in the front row of a section OF the
members gallery.
Even while you watch 1t you may
see the doorkeeper come down the
steps, unlock a low door, such as
closes the end of church pew, usher
some one in and close the door i'm
pressively. This row in fact is known
as the speakers pew and Is reserved
for members of his family, or for per
sons he compliments by admittance
within it's bounds. The corresponding
row in the senate gallery is known
as the vice-president's row.

Kentucky Farmer In Congress.

Although the house of representa-.
tives is composed almost wholly Of
lawyers, they are always will
ing to give the glad hand to the farm
err. Congressman Cantrill of Kentucky
made a speech In the house recently
which he began by saying: AT the
outset desire to say that am not a
lawyer. / am "a farmer; and I may
add that am proud Of my vocation"
He got a good round Of applause after
that remark, and he added that he
considered farming an honorable and
noble calling, and expressed regret
that farmers do not realize the dig
nifty and Importance Of their business.
Then he went on to talk about num-
Der of topics which proved quite inter.
esting to the house.

n HE happy possessor of a touring
car, or the happier occupant Of
one, who regularly takes the air
in someone's else touring car, presents
herself these days in a bonnet and
protecting coat which fastens into a
"coat-dress.' This garment is of pom
gee or linen, very practical. dainty and
protection against the dust from
collar to hem. 1t is shaped in such
variety of ways that one may choose
from among the pattern books the
most becoming style. The simplest
lines remain the best and the coat
dress should be plain. Brilliantine.
Of the washable variety, is another
choice in fabrics, where the wearer
has reason to wish to get something
other than pongee or linen.
The bonnet is made of Madagascar
cloth on supporting veil frame and
does not crush the hair. The crown
is made of an oblong piece folded in
and the bonnet is finished about the
face with shirred taffeta silk. Ties Of
the taffeta, made from piece-silk, are
fringed out at the ends and hemmed
at the sides. The frames which sup
port these bonnets hardly deserve the
name, for there Is so little to them.
The cloth is wiry fabric which
needs little help to retain it in place.
But the bonnet Is designed to be cool
and the wire supports are made to
that end. 1t must not set too close to
the head. These pretty head pieces
look very simple and they areas
simple as a sunbonnet-which is not
so easy to make successfully, as it's
appearance might indicate. Wash
silk or suede-lisle gloves enable the
autoist to be always daintily gloved;
If several pairs are provided clean
gloves are always on call, for they may
be washed and dried over night.
1t takes very great beauty indeed
to appear at once charming and
"blowsy." This summers auto clothes

INGENIOUS COAT HANGERS
Good Substitute for a Regular Article
When Such Is Not at
Hand,

A coat or jacket of any description
should be kept on d coat hanger
when not being worn. If regular
hanger does not chance to be on hand
a good substitute can be evolved by
making tight roll Of wrapping paper
or newspaper and tying about the CEN
ter a string with loops left to hang
it on the hook.
The paper roll if sufficiently thick
will keep a coat in shape nicely.
Most waists are also better hung up
than laid in drawer. In travelling it
is especially convenient to be able
to fashion good hangers with only a
few old papers, bit of string and
just a moments time and work.
For travelling the small cases of ex-
tension hangers are delightfully."- COM
pact and a great convenience. These
hangers can also be bought separately
and a bag of silk or dimity made for
them to be carried in.

THINGS A SENATOR CAN'T DO
men Behind Bars 1t Wishes
Were Carried Out.

There are some things which men,
bers of congress cannot do. A day or
two ago Congressman Elvins received
letter from a constituent who Sc
vereIy criticized Senator Warner for
not having gone down to. the United
States court of claims and put through
his claim. It seems that Warner, aft
t err a good deal of hard work had sue
ceeded in passing through congress
bill authorizing this man to go into
the court of claims with his complaint
for damages against the United
States.
The senator in due time notified the
man that his bill had been signed by
the president and that he was at lib
erty to bring suit in the court of
claims. Whether he ever did so Is
not disclosed, but he apparently
thought that Warner would see the
claim through for him, and still thinks
so, He has another think" coming,
however, since senators and repre-
sentatives do not practise before the
court of claims If they should do So,
taking a fee for their services, as all
lawyers usually do, the doors of the
federal penitentiary would speedily
open to them.

COUNTRY'S WEALTH IN OIL
anoustry That Has Grown to Enor.
nous Proportions Within a Few
Years.

The production of oil in the United
states has grown from nothing at the
time OF its discovery to enormous pro.
portions. Millions Of barrels have beer
taken from the country near the west
ern slope Of the Alleghenies in west
ern Pennsylvania, and millions more
from the districts in West Virginia
and Ohio. Indiana has yielded its
share and Illinois has been productive
beyond the dreams. of avarice.
1t remained, however, for Kansas
and Oklahoma; together with the In
dian Territory, to open the eyes of the
modern driller and capitalists. When
the soil was first tapped in the wild
eating operations of that section
great gushers rewarded the efforts of
the men who had the courage and cap
ttal to engage in the enterprise. The
usual rush followed, but many thou

PRETTY DESIGN IN HOSIERY
Elaborate Patrons Are in Order, and
in Colors to Match Any
Gown.

The latest hosiery shows more elao-
crate patterns in the higher-prlced

tons
Those beaded across the instep and
up the ankle are perhaps the most
novel, while others embroidered IN
vinelike designs appear more grace
full than those with the decoration
scattered Unfortunately in an all
over or loose pattern.
A design accentuating circle just
above the instep is new, and there are
innumerable drop-stitch effects in the
weave that will have reader sale

The colors are unusually varied,
and can be found to match any gown.
Some are of a most beautiful change

A FIounce Finish.

flowers. A long and trailing tendril
made Of a milliner's fold of delicate
pink satin is tackled along the line OF
joining where the chiffon or tulle Is
fastened to the skirt. Hanging from
this at distances of three or four inch.
es are single rosebuds, the smallest
imaginable, made of pink ribbon and
each one attached to leaf made OF
delicate, narrow green ribbon.
Now, at wider intervals, and reach
ing upward from the long tendrils

pink bud. On the same frock the
sleeve is finished with similar hand
made decoration and the shoulder lin,

MONKEYS ASYLUM INMATES
Little Simians After Two Years In
Mad House Show No Signs OF
Insanity.

Uncle Sam has II African simians
as inmates of his big insane asylum in
Washington. For five Elonths these
little near-men of the jungle have been
breathing the same atmosphere as
some of the most violent members of
the human family-types of men and
women who, through ages, have stood
out as the peer of all animals, but
whose minds have become deranged.
Yet, after these FIVE months Of
residence among deranged minds,
these II simians are still sane-as
sane as monkey, according, to sclen'
lists, can be-and show an intelligence
far beyond that of many of their fel.
low inmates.
For more than two years now have
| these monkeys been under observation
and experiment. First, Prof. w. T.
Shepherd, Phi. D., Of the George Wash
ington university. worked with them,
along the lines of ideation and imita.
ton. He found that, physiologically,
the monkey species were more closely
related to man and the greatest minds
of the world than any other animals.
He found that the monkey has prac.
tical ideas; that it will go farther than
the parrot in imitation; that it can dis.
criminate sound and color.
| Practically the same results have
been obtained by DR.. 8. l. Franz OF

Hospital for the Insane in Washing.
