those who have often studied the Senate

Jeff Davis III turn themselves loose he Is
the picture of disgust.

of Senator Frye. who was in the
presiding officers chair, remained
unmoved. But once has he been
known to relax this dignity while presid-

the Senate to order when Thomas {.
Plat was the only member who had yet
honored that body with his presence.
Whacking with his gavel. he commanded,

The president pro tenn. attributes his
robust health to correct habits and fond
ness for sport and the world outdoors.
Two months each year he enjoys, at his
camp by the Rangeley lakes, the keen
delights OF the rod and gun. If there Is
one achievement of his life of which he
is inclined to boast it IS that OF having
caught the largest square-tailed trout
over taken with fly. But some time
ago. at a dinner, this boast was chal-
lenged by no less an authority than Prof.
AgassiZ. That great naturalist asserted
that the Maine senator was in error. for
it was a scientific fact that no true trout
ever attained the weight mentioned
seven pounds. The following season the
senator was fortunate enough TO eaten
an eight-pound specimen of the same
species, which he packed in ice and sent
to Prof Agassiz. The professor .acknowl-
edged his defeat in the following 1aconic
line:

Aldrich was promoted from the House
to the Senate in less than seven months
after Frye's elevation. But the new Maine
senator's rise was the more rapid at

two years when the work of revising the
rules was intrusted to him. and the pres

is largely his work. For six years

premiership of the Mckinley cabinet
Senator Frye was offered his place as
chairman of the committee on foreign re-
lations which approves the Presidents
treaties with foreign powers and acts as
special cabinet on diplomatic affairs
But Senator Frye preferred to retain the
craftsmanship of the committee COM

ate. This Craftsmanship he still holds,
although he retains his second in COM
mand on the foreign relations committee
So keen was his knowledge of interna-
tional law that President Mckinley

But shipping has ever been his speciality.
