CALLS ASHURST
 CHESTERFIELD
ArizOnan Is Considered Most Polite Senator to Be Found at
 Capitol
IMPRESSION PLEASES

A man Of surpassing politeness and exceeding neatness of dress and per son has loomed large upon the Unit ed States senate. The astonishment caused by his polished manners and suayity of bearing is augmented by the fact that he comes from a wild and woody country At first he was classel as a dude: now he is de picted as a modern Chesterfield, says the New York World.
 Senator Henry F. Ashurst of Ari- zona has become the sensation ot the hour It was not due to premedita- ton or posing He simply came along in an easy. natural way that has not been seen in the senate since the days Of Ed" Walcott. There was surprise and dismay when the Colorado senator introduced the noisy silk vest, the speaking crayat, the short sack-coat and the disturbins trousers. all interwoven with gooc breeding, disnity and kindly fellow ship.
 The advent of Mir. Ashurst has caused a hike back to the period of Wolcott, and the style of innovations he introduced and made effective by degrees. The Arizona senator ap- reared in regulation statesman attire. He wore a irucr coat, which looked exceptionally elongated because O. his height, striped grap trousers add ing to the effect. He wore standing collar. with a dark green cravat. and a pearl stickpin. placed far down toward the waist-coat. He. had no l.f aV,a nd display except the smallest of gold chains running from his watch poch- ct to the middle of his waistcoat. Ills clothes were new. his linen lmmacu- late, and the general effect was that of a gentleman. attired as such Ana he looked the part More than SIX feet in height: slender, white hands and tapering fingers. erect. barring a slight stoop of the shoulders, smooth shaven, with a Grecian nose, plenty of color in the face. thin lips, but with a pleasant expression and Keen brown eye. Mir. Ashurst looked alert keen and interesting.
 It was Mir. Ashurst's hair that caused him to be classed as dude lie has much hair. It is rather long in the back. and somewhat rescm- bles that of former Senator Spooner. IL falls down about his ears, slVlns him a sort cf Daniel Webster halo. But it is parted exactly in the middle and licked" down on each side. Ills head thus looks like that of a country boy fixed up" for Sunday school
 But it soon developed that MT Ashurst is a modern edition of Ches-
 
 most polite man ever seen within the precincts of the senate. He SNes each and every conner formal, luli- sweep bow. He does not merely ln- cline his head. as has long been the custom among senators, but bends AT the knees. the ankles and the neck in 9 profound and graceful saiaah that would do credit to an Oriental courier. The East Indian would have nothing on MT. Ashurst when Il comes to lowing. He makes tnls body movement curtsy, and then eX- tends his hand for a warm clasp. alter which he straightens up and either talks or listens.
 Just where Mir. Ashurst acquired his habit of salaaming and making triple iointed bow is not known. Born in Nevada. he has lived in Arizona thirty-fve years. He was lumber Jack. a cowboy and a deputy sherin before becoming a lawyer and statesman. With a change Of wear ing apparel, he would fit either or these occupations with equal facility and credit. He would be typical as a Rough Rider, stump haranguer or A chaser Of outlaws. He IS said to be an orator. and his friends pre- dict that he w;Il take high rank in the senate
