HISTORY BUILDERS.
Two Kansas Senators as Newspaper
Readers.
By DIR. e. J. EDWARDS.

The late Preston B. Plumb. who was
three times elected by the Kansas Iegis-
lature to the United States Senate, was
sometimes spoken Of by his colleague In
the Senate. william P. Frye, OF Maine,
as in many respects an ideal United
States Senator.
Senator Plumb was of striking simplic-
ity of life. He was one Of the first Of
those who ventured to depart from the
precedent established many years ago
which fixed the dress which a Senator
should wear when he appeared upon the
floor OF the Senate.
Senator Plumb preserved constantly,
and probably Intentionally the appear
ance OF democratic simplicity. He was
conspicuous by reason OF his flowing red
whiskers, his large head and the fact
that no one in the Senate ever saw him
idle. He allowed himself but a modIcum
OF sleep. His friends were persuaded
that he was overtaxing his physical and
mental strength and at the time OF his
death. which occurred when he was serv-
Ing in his third term, the impression
commonly prevailed among his Sem
storial colleagues that It was attributa-
BILE to his excessive work.
Senator Plumb greatly interested me
because I never saw him when he ap-
peared to be listening to another SEN
ator. although his occasional requests
for permission to ask a question made
It clear that. busy as he was, his ears
took in everything that was spoken. An
other characteristic Of the Senator which
interested me was his daily habit Of lit
tering the floor around his desk with
newspapers. He seemed to possess the
somewhat rare faculty OF taking in the
meaning of an editorial or absorbing the
gist Of a column OF written words at a
single glance. II Is a faculty which
Charles A. Dana possessed and was also
the one which has made 1t possible for
Theodore Roosevelt to read so many
books with understanding OF what he has
read.
Senator Plumb was not one Of those
who disdained the newspapers. Instead.
he was fond of saying that he read all
the newspapers that he could get He
was reported TO have received and faith
fully to have read each week every

A DREAM.

dreamed last night there came a day
When every mortal meath the sky
From carp and cayil turned away,
And put unkindly thinking by.
When every man his neighbor sought
With mein Of true fraternity;
And every spoken word was fraught
With kindness and smity;
When every mind In all the earth
Gave all Its thought to making clear
The things OF good and sterling worth
That ever lie about us here;
And every hand in readiness
For others help was kept until
In hearts where once abode distress
Rich notes OF Joy began TO thrill
A pleasant dream IL was, and true
The teaching OF it-true and wise
And when the waking came ! knew
How I could find my Paradise.
