ola Men in ConEcss.
IL is curious fact that about thirty
members of congress have declined TO re-
veal their ages. But two senators are In
cluded among those who have not made
known how old they are-Mr. Paynter of
Kentucky and Mr. Lorimer Of Illinois. A
correspondent of Leslie's Weekly who dug
into the records found that there Is diff
ference OF ten years In the average age Of
the members OF the upper and lower
branches of congress Senator'S ages aver
age 50 years and representatives 40. There
are forty members OF the house in their
thirties. Evidently men who have passed
60 are valuable because thlrty-five senators
and forty representatives are in their prime
at that age. Uncle Shelby Cullom of IL
llnois, who have seen nearly thirty years
OF service in the senate, and Uncle Isaac
Stephenson of Wisconsin are the oldest sem
ators. They are spry, and seldom miss a
vote. Senator Frye OF Maine, who had
achieved the longest continuous service rec
ord i'm that body. began his first term March
10, 1881. He was 81 years old when he died.
Senator Luke Lea Of Tennessee. who has
just celebrated his thirty-second birthday,
is the youngest man who has ever served
in the senate. Uncle Joe Cannon, who
10 on his feet every day in debate and
puts many young members to shame in the
point of attendance, is rs years old. He has
weathered nineteen congresses, but not con-
secudvely. There was break in his term
OF office. General II. II. Bingham, 70 years
old Of Pennsylvania, has the house record
for continuous service General Bingham
began in 1879 Probably the three oldest
members of the house are Uncle Joe, Isaac
r. Sherwood, 76 years old, of Ohio, and Z.
stevens Henry, 70 years old, Of Connectl-
cut. Speaker Clark is 81; Serene Payne of
New York is 6S; oscar w. Underwood OF

President Taft has a rich fund of anec-

plying them in his everyday conversations.
The other day. relates the Washington
Herald Secretary Hilles called his atten-
ton to letter that had been received at
the White House from an Ohio admirer Of
the president The Ohioan was stirred
up over the attacks that had been made
on the president by the republican insur-
gents, and after citing the things the presl-
dent had accomplished-his supreme court
appointments, the arbitration treaties
Canadian reciprocity, the tariff board, the
averting of war with Mexico, the trust
prosecutions-the man in the Buckeye
state ended with the declaration that, in
his opinion Mr.. Taft was the greatest
ruler since the days Of Solomon.
According to the story that is going the
rounds of official circles the president
turned TO Hilles with a smile and said:
"Hilles, did you ever hear the story of
the man who was under the impression
that he was on orator, and who couldn't
understand why his friends didn't congrat-
ulate him after a particularly labored eff
fort. He waited as long as he could stand
1t, and then asked one Of them how he
liked his speech.
Best that has been delivered since the
days of Edmund Burke said his friend.
YES replied the orator, after a few
moments OF serious thought, but why lug
in Edmund BurkeT
why lug in Solomon" added the presi-
dent, chuckling and turning once more to
the papers on his desk.
