The Death Pain

A reporter asked a well known sur con whether his experience as med 'al man had led him to believe that cath k painless.
 Speaking generally" he said, the cath agony is very rarely attended ; pain. because the system is always repared for death by weakening of -e vital forces. by the circulation of ,Apure blood through the brain and by ae obiunding of the nerves. Of course one people have more pain than 'therS. and this Is very largely deter lined by temperament A nervous -an-all other things being equal 'uiferS more pain than a man who as enjoyed robust health. because he nervous mans sensibilities are stronger but the pain of death is more n the anticipation of it than in the eality. Men of education face death with greater fortitude than men who re not educated. Women are almost always piuckier than men. They en- lure pain much better" r"-London Globe

 There was one student. handsome, easy and self possessed, who appeared to be utterly ignorant of the simplest phases of the subject.
 Professor w. put question after question to him without receiving one intelligent reply. Finally the student said naively:

A Boston oil man was putting down A well in virgin territory. He was keeping the fact profound secret In order to secure leases without difti- culty if he got good well. But he arranged code telegram to be sent him as soon as the drill reached sand In order that the news might not leak out at the telegraph office he told the driller that the sentence Pine trees grow tall" would mean that he had struck oil.

Washington, d. C.,-The following
paragraph that is making the rounds
of the newspapers, recalls many
friendships, some of them rather GU
rious, formed between public men at
this capital:
Senators Bourne and Chamberlain
represent Oregon in the senate. They
are of the opposite political faith, yet
they are inseparable as companions.
Though they differ on some matters
of party policy, they are one and the
same on Senator Bournes plan OF
popular government, and their convic.
ton of the ultimate success Of the
policy unites the two senators in a
close bond Of friendship. The close
friendship between Senator Bacon
and the late Senator Clay was the
cause of so much favorable comment
but those senators, besides represent
ing the same state, were of the same
party, party politics and were alike tc
them.

Amos Cummings, Cousins and Lodge.
Reed very reluctantly rejected a
seat in the senate, and, when told his
chance would come again, he replied:
1.-THE chariots of the gods swing low
but once for any man." Shakespeare
said it thus:
"Who seeks and will not take when
once tits offerd
Shall never find it more"
But John G. Carlisle, while speaker,
put aside the senatorship, and later
it sought him and he took it.
Reed disliked both the Maine sena-
tors and positively hated one Of them.
Nor was there any love lost. Neither
senator liked Reed. Another famous
case Of antipathy between public men
from the same state was that of In
gals and Plumb of Kansas. Douglas
and Trumbull of Illinois wasted no
love on each other, and George Alfred
Townsend lost an interview with
Bluff Old Ben" Wade because he
wanted it for the Cleveland leader,
which old Ben characterized as "a
id Chase paper" Chase having been
his colleague in the senate and a great
er figure in Ohio than Wade.
Perhaps the strangest class of all
the warm personal friendships was
that of Ben Tillman and bill"
Chandler. However, they had COM

night, when they were in a seance to
look up a rate bill for Roosevelt,
Tillman, seeking to verify a date, ex-
claimed with some impatience: "Chan-
dler, it must have been about the
time you were down in Florida steal
ing the state for Hayes" But they
got along together famously, and both
were admitted to the Ananias Club
about, the same time.
Though not by long sight an iden
teal case, the association between
Tillmen and Chandler recalls an anec
dote related by McAuley. Catherine
Sedley was very homely and very
brilliant woman, and James II was
her lover. Speaking of the connec

But Reed was sociable. He loved
to be with Harry Tucker, McCall's
friend, and Bob Cousins of Iowa, but
there were times when he allowed no
one to obtrude on him. He walked to
the capitol every morning unless the
weather was frightful, and he walked
alone. No man ever sought to break
in on his reflections on these walks a
second time. He had giant stride
and his progress was rapid With
hands clasped behind his back. Tom
Reed communed with Tom Reed, that
