being in any sence archaic, Williams
of Mississippi suggests the older order
of which a mingled principle, scholar
ship and good-natured courage form
the ideal"
Senator Williams, we are glad to
note, belongs to that class of public
men at Washington characterized some
time ago by an Alabama politician as
CLOAK room loafers." That is to say,
Williams is always at his post and
ready to give public questions the
benefit of his analytical mind, both in
debate and in the matter of voting
He not only has ability of rare order,
but he has the genius for application
he is at his post and ready.

After quoting at length one of John
Sharp Williams an anecdotal debates
in the senate, Mark Sullivan says in
Golfers Weekly:
Senator Williams, by the way, while
he does not supply the detailed dis
cussion of figures concerning the vari-
Gus complicated schedules, is, never
theless, a remarkably powerful debat-
er on the Democratic side. He 1 sthe

the fundamental philosophy of govern
ment, and his contributions of the
debate range from the ripest scholar
ship to apt and colloquial stories
charmingly told. Have the chautau-
qua managers, In their search for tai
ent, overlooked Senator Williams?
The Columbia State ventures aptly
to answer that the failure of Senator
Williams to expose himself on the
platform is due rather to his own sense
of the fitness of things than to a lack
of enterprise on the part of the man
ager of the Chautauquas. Says the
State:
From what we can Judge of him, he
is not that sort of man-not even
any sort of man that can be recogniz-
ed as a present-day type. Rather, he
is a sort of survival of the times when
the word statesman was taken seri-
ously, even by the men who had their
lighter moments and who had the hum
orous vision of something in the land

1t was New Years night. An aged
man was standing by the window. He
mournfully raised his eyes toward the
deep blue sky, where the stars were
floating like white lilies on the sur
face of clear, calm lake. Then he
cast them on the earth, where few
more helpless beings than himself
were moving toward their inevitable
goal-the tomb. Already he had pass
ed sixty Of the stages which lead to
It, and he had brought from his jour
ney nothing but errors and remorse
His health was destroyed, his mind
unfinished, his heart sorrowful, and
his old age devoid of comfort.
The days of his youth rose up in a
vision before him, and he recalled the
solemn moment when his father had
placed him at the entrance Of two
roads, one leading into a peaceful,
sunny land, covered with a fertile har-
vest, and resounding with soft, sweet
songs; while the other conducted the
wanderer into a deep, dark cave,
whence there was no issue, where poi
son flowed instead of water, and
where serpents Kissed and crawled.
He looked toward the sky, and cried
out in his anguish: "Oh, youth, re-
turn! o my father, place me once
more at the crossway of life, that
may choose the better road" But
the days Of his youth had passed
away, and his parents were with the
departed. He saw wandering lights
doat over dark marshes, and then dis.
appear. Such" he said, were the
days of my wasted life!" He say a
