YOUNG Beavers DAYS WORK
Record Made by One % the Animals
In Regents Park Gardens,
4 anAnn


London.
A young beaver in Regents Park
gardens. London, was once placed at
work upon . tree II feet long and :
feet inches thick Just ~ tho Gown
clocks sounded the hour Of noon. The
beaver began by barking the tree a
foot above tho ground.
That done he attacked the wood.
He worked hard, alternating his labor
with dips in his bathing pond. He
bathed and labored alternately until
1 o'clock in tho afternoon. when he
ate his supper Of bread and carrots
and padded about in bis pond until
half-past o'clock
Ten minutes late, when only one
inch Of the trees diameter remained
intact, he bore upon his work and the
tree fell. Before 1t fell the beaver
ran as men run when they have fired
blast. Then AZ the tree lay on the
ground he portioned 1t out mentally
and again began to gnaw.
He worked at intervals all night
cut the log into three parts, rolled
two of the portions into the water
and reserved the other third for his
permanent shelter. The york done
he took bath.-Harper's Weekly.

Especial Correspondence.1

Washington, Aug. 13.-The death Of
Senator Joseph +. tombstone. of Ala
bana. who saw long and hard service
. in the Confederate army, calls atten-
I ton TO the fact that the list of former
Confederates in the senate is rapidly
i thinning. One can count the members
/ OF these on a single hand.
Surviving Confederates in the upper
house are Senators Bacon, OF Georgia.:
Bankhead, OF Alabama; Tillman, of
South Carolina; Thornton. of Louis
! lana and Martin, of Virginia. Until
recent years, in the period following
the civil war and reconstruction. the
senate contained many former Con-
federates.
Were Boys in War Days.
Senator Johnston quit school to join
the Confederate army when lad,
served thru the war, was wounded
four times and was made a captain.
Senator Bacon was adjutant OF the
Ninth Georgia regiment and later a
captain on staff duty.
Senator Bankhead was almost as
badly shot up as his recent colleague.
He saw four years of hard service
and was three times wounded. He 81
so became captain.
Senator Tillman quit school when II
years old to go into the Confederate
army. He contracted fever, and this
illness not only caused the loss OF his
left eye, but kept him an invalid for
two years.
Senator Thornton, OF Louisiana,
went into the Confederate army at the
age of II years, leaving Louisiana
State university to serve the south. He
fought as a private until the close OF
the war.
Senator Martins service for the
Confederacy was as one OF the cadets
Of the Virginia Military institute. The
part taken by the cadet corps OF that
institution in the fighting In northern
Virginia has become historic ana sen
ator Martin cherishes the memory OF
it with natural pride.
Formerly Many Veterans.
II has not been many years since the
senate was filled with former Union
and Confederate veterans. Now nos
only are the Confederates becoming
scarce but the former Union SOL
aiers also are rapidly thinnins

SENATE MAY REJECT CLAYTON.
Governors Appointment Of johnston
Sueeessor Hold illegal.

Sncco08oT
Washington, Aug. 13.-Consressnian
Henry D. Clayton, Of Alabama VINO
late Yesterday afternoon was appointed
United States senator Dy Governor
O'Neal. may be denied a seat IN the
senate.
In naming Mr.. Clayton to fill the
vacancy created by the death OF Sena-
tor Joseph F. Johnston, Governor
O'Neal disregarded the advice OF the
democratic leaders and lawyers OF the
senate. who had held that the gov
ernor could not appoint senator WIZ
out express authority from the Ala
bama legislature. This opinion was
based on the seventeenth amenomeh'
to the federal constitution
II was predicted that when Mr.. Clay
ton presents his credentials as sena-
tor objections would be raised immedl-
atelv and the credentials would go to
the committee on privileges and eiec-
ticns for report.
1T is my opinion that Mr.. Clayton
will not be seated" said Senator Over
man, acting chairman Of tho judiciary
committee. The members OF the COM
mittee also had advised Governor
O.Neai against making the appoint
ment.
Governor o'Nears action came as a
distinct and unpleasant surprise to the
senate leaders. Before the news reached
Washington, Senator Kern, leader o.
the senate majority, had sent seconc
telegram to the governor urging hin
to call special session Of the legls
lature to grant him authority to name
a senator ad interim.
Senator Simmons. chairman of the
finance committee, also had sent mes
sage emphasizing the Importance O
Senator Kern's request.
Both senators pointed out that 1t wa:
important that there should be no pos
sibility Of a contest in the appointment
of a successor Of Senator Johnston
owing to the slender democratic ma
jority on the tariff bill
