1t is with reluctance that any one
familiar with the raising of the Hon.
James Leroy Davenport, the commits
sioner of pensions, in old Cheshire
county, New Hampshire, will believe
that he scorns modest congressman
like the Hon. Seaborn Anderson Rod
denbery of Georgia. In the house on
Friday Mr.. Roddenbery taxed the
commissioner with riding in limou
sine, drinking champagne and dane
ing the turkey trot. 1t may well be
admitted that a barefoot boy with
face of tan, whose swimming hole
was the Ashuelot river, would ride
in limousine if he could when he
became commissioner of pensions, but
he would as soon quaff aerated cider
as champagne At IS Mr.. Daven-
ports indulgence in the turkey trot"
must be sparing. But a graver charge
is brought against him, that of preen-
ing himself in silks and satins and
gauds and snubbing plain folk afoot.
According to Mr.. Roddenbery:
eff you call at the pension office
some day after luncheon the com
missioner will recognize you, but if
you fashion your attire in the hum
Bile fashion of the country people and
see Mr.. Davenport riding along in his
limousine, with plug hat as high as
a churn and a long-tailed coat which
puts the plumage of the peafowl to
shame and shirt studs that sparkle
like the eyes of the toad, the commits
sioner will know you not"
Can this be a true picture of the
commissioner on his travels? How
his old friends in Swanzey would like
to see him spreading his coat tails
and flashing his pearls. Never would
he hear the last of it in the home of
Josh Whitcomb, where he is known
to the smallest one-gallused urchin.
He "clerked it" in Keene for four
years. Would he dare to stand in
such dazzling raiment surmounted by
the plug hat "as high as a churn" for
five minutes in the shadow of the
soldiers monument? Never! There
must be some mistake. Joe Bailey in
his palmiest days never professed
such scorn for full dress" as the
valiant Roddenbery. On Jan. 10th

he had tantrum in the house, pro-
voked by seeing in his prismatic
minds eye the high cokalorums of
Washington society" wearing ''swal-
low tail coats and white vests adorn-
ed with pearl studs" He beheld
them doing the turkey trot act at a
swell Washington social function. "
The commissioner of pensions could
hardly wear jeans and cow hide
boots. 1t must be that the Rodden-
berry Imagination has TRANSPORTED the
conventional dress of Pennsylvania
avenue.
This is the homespun Georgian's
first whole term in congress. 1t is no
concern of anybody's what he wears
or what he rides in. But let him
beware of functions" and tailors
and garages and taxicabs. His fam
ing hatred of limOusines, his bitter
aversion to shirt studs, may serve for
his novitiate and please the ground
lings in the Valley of the Ocklocknee,
but let him once be seen abroad in
Washington in any conveyance but a
"one-horse shay" let him be encount-
cred vending his way to a reception
in dress suit, more particularly let
a constituent report him in silk hat
"as high as churn," and he would
run in the primaries like a mud tur-
tie with springhalt.

necessary to continue my special
work during my absence in America.
l tell you this to show that it is not
true that I have given no doctor of

Il thought a great deal of him And
he was the heaviest man in weight in

get back alive. We had no guns or
pistols, and we knew we were likely
to starve to death.
Something had to be done and we
decided to do it. 1t was the cook

Eisenbach from the first week out of
port, because Hans had something
smart to say about burnt beans. At
least, that was all l could ever think
to make the cook hate Hans, and the
whole crew knew Cooky had grudge
Iof some sort against Hans. We
shook dice for it, and Cooky's turn
came before Hans. Cooky furnished
the dice and he shook high. I'll take
an oath he changed dice when he
handed over a set to Hans, because
Hans shook so low everybody knew
it would beat him.
1T was him, and Cooky and Hans
went into the gallery. Cooky gave
Hans knife and Hans cut his own
throat.
Hans was boiled in brine four
hours. You know the rest can't
say it,
"And the COOKE"
He died, too, when we got home.
We were rescued in a few days. When
we made port we reported Hans froz-
en- to death. That night the crew
drank long and deep, and Cooky
boosted about-about Hans. Some
body cut his throat-they never did
find out who did it,"
you still think the cook changed

II know it. In my vision I see it
all, myself and the rest, and l see

tee are:
That interest on federal reserve notes
should be eliminated unless the gold re-
serve be increased from 33 1-3 per cent
TO 81 per cent and the redemption of fed
eral reserve notes lin lawful money be
stricken out.
That federal reserve notes should not
be considered as obligtions of the govern
ment. but that they should be the direct
obligation OF the federal reserve banks
and redeemed by those banks in gold on
demand. and ~ per cent gold reserve be
maintained by said banks for that pur-
pose. and that they shall be first and
paramount lien upon the combined assets
uf all federal reserve banks.
That country banks keep one-fourth of

tional banks In reserve cities, and that

sired to spend his time in paying back
some of the debt which he owes, and
that he knew of no better state on

father was born in that state. and
showed his love for the state by nam
