been about little looking after bust

leaders.
Senator Tillman is not an old man

only ga but the strenuous and intense
life he has led has tended to age him
long before the period when man nat
urally begins to be really old. His life
has been one long battle but his con-

has made enemies in the past, as q
man of his aggressive attitude is bound
to do, but at this time many of the old
