"Joy riding" in the Austrian en-

popular. Consul General Charles
DENLY Of Vienna reports that the
opposition of the lovers of horses,
more marked in Austria than in any

obstacles to motoring in that coun-

The police and fire departments
of Vienna, however, have no preju-

Of THEOLD SCHOOL
Senator Daniel of Virginia Not
ed for Chivalric Appearance
and Courtesy.
MAS VICTIM OF PARALYSIS
0ne Of the Most Picturesque Figures
In the Upper HouSe-How He
Rebuked Woman.

7 The recent death at his Lynchburg
home of John Warwick Daniel, senior
senator from Virginia, recalls one OF
the picturesque figures OF the upper
house OF congress.
Daniel was always referred to as
one of the few survivors of the old
school of craftsmanship. He looked
more like the pictures Of the distin-
guished senators of the days of Web
ster, Calhoun and Clay than any other
member of the senate.
Senator Daniels face was smooth
shaver, and his hair, which was nearly
coal black despite his sixty-eight years,
was worn long with a sweeping curl
over his ears.
Old Fashioned In Courtesy.
Senator Daniel was full Of those old
fashioned courtesies and manners, both
of speech and action, which are so
rapidly being displaced by the modern
rough and tumble methods OF the sen
ate.
The senator's death was due to a re
currence Of paralysis, which had
caused him to use clutches for several
years.
Senator Daniel was a distinguished
lawyer and author of one Of the stand.
ard law text books, Daniel on Ne
gotiable Instruments" He used to give
lectures in a law school, and one day
he explained how he came to write the
book. He said he was in his office
some years ago when a man came in
and asked him If sight drafts carried
three days of grace. He didn't know.
None of the other lawyers knew, and
it took a visit to a bank to find out.
He then determined 10 write a com
prehensive work on all negotiable in
struments, and he did so.
AS the senator was finishing a young
man in the class said: Senator, do
sight drafts carry three days Of
graceP' Daniel hemmed and hawed,
looked confused and finally said:
upon my soul, young man, 1 have
forgotten"
Gentle RebuI<e For Woman.
Once at Atlantic City Senator Dan
iel administered courteous rebuke to
a New York woman. He had pointed
out a distinguished southerner and
was about to tell something Of the
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1910-07-08

and inquire what kind of a bird a
tanager was, anyhow. Meanwhile, l
had found two more hands So we
began to slave out of mere pof1teness
and in Is minutes were struggling
away wildly.
Toms necktie was unGcr one ear
by this time and he looked pale, but
in half an hour he had found two
pieces that fitted each other, where
upon he showed up his sleeves and
took a fresh start. He said he was
going to see where a scarlet tanager
wore three hands if he died for 1t.
There were some very important
persons who came in gorgeous auto
mobile to call on Hermtnie's family,
but we ignored all the wigwagging
signals from her mother to abandon
our diversion and properly enter the
reception room. We were glued to
that library table. Finally when the
visitors were going they were deter
minedly dragged up to us by their
hostess.
'Herminie,' said her mother, I
want you to meet Mrs. Winkin and
Mr.. Winkin-may present Mr.. Cor
man. Mrs. Winkin-and Miss"
IA three-cornered piece with a
hollow in it, Herminie chanted va
cantIy without raising her head.
Certainly murmured Tom,
whose train of thought had been in
terrupted, though he did not know
the cause He stared straight
through the Winkins and never saw
them. They backed away in some
alarm and indignation.
THE family gave us up in despair.

southerner'S EXPLOITS.
How much is he worth?" asked the
New Yorker.
Let me see," said the Virginia SEN
ator meditatively. HE lost a leg at
Antietam and an arm at the battle of
the Wilderness, and his old hide is so
full of scars that he has not enough
medals to cover them all. He was
shot full Of holes at the Bloody Angle,
when he carried General Hardee off
the field on his shoulders, and he
ruined his health working in the field
to support and educate his brothers
children after the war, and he con-
racted malaria and jungle fever work
ing for the United States government
on some commission or other in the
tropics two or three years ago.

don't think anybody would give much

manded his rights
His claim went swiftly down and out
in one, two. three order at the hands
OF the autocrat and his obedIent asso-
ciates on the committee. The day art
or the occurrence Wilson was called az
this same committee room TO talk over
the details OF the AFFAIR with an old
clerk who had observed his presentation
Of the case to the committee, as Wilson
thought. with an unusual degree OF IN
tercst.
Mr. Wilson" said this vintage OF the
early DAYS OF the beginning of the his
tQry OF this generation. Il am impressed
With the idea, sir. that somewhere here
in this office with be found "a precedent
for the claim or Senator Dubois which
you so ably presented yesterday and
will try and find It FOR you
The new congressman was elated. lie
encouraged his new found friend 10 en-
ploy himself industriously To the dis
coVery OF this record.
The following day the clerk sent for
Congressman Wilson and showed him the
case II was in payment OF services OF
n delegate from Dakota at the time OF
the division and admission or these two
states and the precedent was complete
in that the action taken oy the house,
the senate concurring, was Identical with
the history OF Mr.. Wilson's bsll for the
payment OF the back salary 10 MI Du-
hois.
With deal OF confidence the new con-
grcssman approached the old veteran OF
the appropria tons committee for re
hea ring OF the case. lie granted It, and
Mr.. Wilson appeared and explained. at
some length. the value OF adherence 10
the established precedents OF the con
gress. He retired in the belief that he
had won his case. and later called on
the chairman for the result OF the ac-
ton OF the committee and the power
ful chairman advised him That the COM
mittee had again rejected tile bill.
"Why" said Wilson won have cast
aside a precedent the only law by which
your body is governed: 20 which the
doughty chairman responded: Yes, VIII
son. but IT was damn bad precedent,
Most men would have given up in do
spair. Wilson pushed on TO the sub-com-
mitree OF the senate and got a hearing.
He recalls only two senators. Hall and
Cockerel. VINO sat and listened 10 his
presentation, and when through he said
he had as much idea OF the impression
he had made on them as though lie had
made his speech TO so many OF the craven
images in the Hall or Fame.
In their stoical manner they asked a
few pertlnen! questions. gave the stony
stare TO the congressman. and. TO their

and that. too, by q new Initiate into the

Of the justice OF his bill and OF the precc-
dent as well. The argument fell on uu-
responsive ears.

in his judgment OF men. He read in

or triumph. and he looked about for his
