A Frequent Speaker.

A member for a northern constit-
uency, who was one day reproached
by a disappointed supporter for never
opening his mouth in the house, repu-
dated the accusation with indignation.
Not a day passed, he declared, but
that he said something; and 1t was
reported in the papers, too. In con
firmation of his statement he pro-
duced the report of the last debate,
and pointed triumphantly to the

the newspapers had considerable
amusement owe the fact that the mil
nopp"4r re tenants of that building had
tS' walk from two to fourteen flights OF
stairs to get to their offices. In this
connection an amusing story is told
about Henry M. F1agler, one OF the
oldest of the Standard Oil pioneers.
While approaching the g of 81, he Is
strong and stalwart, paying regular
attention to his large business inter-
ests, both in New York and in Florida.
His office is on the twelfth floor OF
the Standard Oil building, and 1T was

to meet him at the door and advise
him to establish his Office temporar-
