Probably the most interesting mar rative of ones self in the directory is that of James Harvey Davis of Texas, Cyclone" Davis, as he is technically known in the nomenclature of politi- cal explosives. Mir. Davis takes up some space to tell about this matter as follows:
 On debating the money question with Gen. Watt Hardin in 1892 at the Capitol Building in Frankfort, Kyy he was reported by the Cincinnati In quirer and Chicago papers as "Texas Cyclone" under which title over half of his mail is now received"
 The final triumph is recorded as follows:
 "was elected to the sixty-fourth Congress with the Hon. Jeff Me Lemore (chosen to fill a temporary vacancy) a colleague, receiving some 200 votes less than his colleague, an alleged penalty for not having always been collar Democrat, and heavily scratched by rabid antis."
 The colleague" to whom Cyclone Davis refers adds a bit of spice to the Texas delegation chronicles. "Jeff McLemore," as he signs himself, pleads guilty to having been born "on a farm two miles west of Spring Hill, Maury county, Tennessee. "He adds that the event occurred on "Friday, the 18th of March," and "who's afraid "in a storm"
 "He is bachelor and a newspaper man." says he.
 "Had but little schooling" writes Jeff McLemore, because of his aver sion to teachers, and as a pupil never saw the inside of a school room after he was IA years old"

 WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-T The gentle gibes of the heartless scribes in the house and senate press gal leries, the scribes aver, are respOn- sible for the almost total absence from this years Congressional direct ory of the once numerous annual crop of autobiographers of "self-made" solons. Mighty few of the extraOr- dinary large number of new congress- men this year dwell upon the days in the log cabin and the hardships of early youth. Some men who former ly took much space to tell about themselves now win distinction by go- ing to the opposite extreme,
 Minority Leader Mann made one mistake in his brief description of himself. He wrote: James R. Mann, Republican, of Chicago, was born in 1856; elected to the ffty-ffth and succeeding congresses. Member of hte Banking and Currency Com mittee." This last statement got in- to the proof sheets of the directory, but the committee makers did not put Mir. Mann on the B & c committee.
 Here is notable sample of Brevity.
 "Thaddeus H. Caraway, Democrat, JonesbOro."
 This is a whole story of the life of the Representative of the First dis trict of Arkansas as told by the mem Der himself in the directory.
 The member from the Fourth dis trict of the same State says of him. self:
 "Otis Wingo, Democrat, of De Queen, member of Sixty-third Con- gress, reelected to Sixty-fourth Con gress."
 There is another brief sketch in the directory which records modestly the story of the rise to political fame of a Western Senator. The story was first told with more regard for detail. Then somebody gave him a "hunch" and he beat the jokesmith to it by a neck and stopped the proofs and now three lines tell the story.
 Colorado has a delegation in the House that reads like this: Repre- ! sentative Ben Clark Hillard "waS born in a log cabin on a farm eight miles north of Osceola, Clarke county, la"
 Representative Charles Bateman Timberlake: "His boyhood was spent on a farm"

HENRY FORD.

Henry Ford has been called a jack ass and clown because he hired ship and sailed across the sea to stop the most frightful slaughter the world has ever known. The big thing in his action is not the question whether he will or will not stop the war, but the fact that he is willing to try! It was by trying that he got where he is. But still he keeps on trying.
 In the face of overwhelming odds, in spite of a worldwide criticism, he is willing to undertake the greatest job that ever fell to the lot of a human being in the worlds history. He brushes aside the thousands of columns of newspaper criticisms, he ignores the public utterance of sO- called statesmen, he sets his face to- ward the most glorious goal that any man ever hoped to achieve-and goes on his way Trying.
 So far, he is the only person who has taken a definite step toward end ing the war. True it may not be the right step, you get that by trying. The men who sit in swivel chairs and sheer and make funny jokes about that man Ford are not taking steps of any kind to end the war. The job looks too big and too hopeless to them. It looks big to Ford and may be it looks hopeless to him. But he's got the nerve to try and spends his own money. Asking aid of no man. What a nation this would be, if each industry could be headed by a Ford who was willing to try, what chance would any other nation under the sun have with US. What if more of us were willing to try and less of us were slaves of convention and creatures of habit. There is a word in the dictionary called can't, leave it there. Never use it. We'll we've been Henry Fording" it for the past twelve years, and expect to keep right at it, until the Powers that be, and the Engineers that direct it, awaken to the fact that Seward is the Begin ming and Final jumping off place of construction of Government railroads in Alaska. In the meantime, we have plenty time and help to serve you. Best treatment, best price, and sure ly the Best Goods.
