The Senate Barber Shop.

Here's an odd thing about the Unit
ed States senate barber shop: Although
the number of senators has hardly in
creased at ALL the number of shaves
mas increased at surprising rate In
recent years. The reason Is simply
that the senate is now inhabited large
Iy by comparatively young men with
smooth faces or wearing mustaehes at
most. and they are obliged to get
shaved every little while. whereas the
old style senator with riot of whisk-
ers never had occasion to visit barber
shop except every few months to get
his hair trtmmed.-C1ncinnad Enquirer

 Nogales, Arizona, Sept. 24.-For ] the past week drill work has kept the
 men at Nogales on the jump con-
 tinually. The recent march and | nanOeuvers made apparent various
 army tutors here redouble their efforts to make the c. N. G. one of
 the finest. Then too, like the endless cycle, various nd always repeated in spections have kept every company | busy. In the absence of the Second Connecticut and other military com panies on their own hike and man.
 oeuvers, the First Connecticut regi-
 ment has had to redouble it's work at Nogales and has had to care for the l outside and inside guard.
 Along the company streets the men conduct themselves so much in keep

 Rumors-bushels of them-hum in ones ears from reveille to taps. Any one who feels that his imagination is not getting a fair deal seems to start a new batch of rumOrs, and all per tain solely with a return trip to Mantle. It was not until a few days sgC however, that army officials let it be known positively that Companies l and E are to be affected by the ruling that is to send more troops to the border and others home. Since Nogales has ceased to slum Der and has welcomed every derelict, ex-convict or roamer guard duty for the soldiers has become a more serious matter, in fact it is in reality police work. Chamberlain's little de- tachmcnt was put on the jump at ? 2. m. Saturday when a stray steer wandered past. The entire guard was
 called out before the joke was known. The guard crawled considerable dis tance on their stOmaChs and did not discover their mistake until the beast beloved Moo" in response to the challenge of "Who goes there?' General Hummer reviewed the

 shortly.

for senator and Edward O. Kilbourne arose and placed before the conven- tion the name of George M. Landers. Tn nominating MT. Landers for sen- ator, MT. Kilbourne said: MT Chair man and fellow democrats: In our complex political life, it is unusual l for one to have the opportunity of nominating for political office, a can didate who enjoys the fullest conf1- dence of his fellow citizens, regard less of their political affiliations. Such a man it Is my privilege to name to- night for the important office of Sen- ator from this district, cOnstruc- tive statesman, whose tact and ability make him peculiarly fitted for this office, a man whose record as a pub- lie official as well as a private citizen, you are all familiar with, he having served his city, these many years, faithfully and we'll, a man who repre- sents the highest type of citizenship
 in our community, the Honorable
 George M. Landers."
 pr. Henry T. Bray was pleased to second the nominations He said two years ago he was the unsuccessful
 candidate for the office and this time
 his victorious opponent is again candidate. The question or efc1enCy has been raised which Is a happy one for the democrats. But while he did
 not wish to appear in the role of a knoclker, as he and Senator Tlett have long been friends, MT Landers had not yet laid claim to the honor of securing the northwest trolley line for Farley Kilbourne, Camp, ct al. He had. however. served as senator for two years and had been in in strum mental in securing much .benefi-
 cial legislation. His circumstances are such that he can attend to the duties of such a position and to the extent that another man could not. It gave the speaker great pleasure to second MT. Landers' nomination.
 No other nominations were offered and MT. Landers' nomination was un- animously approved by the conven- ton.
 MT. Flanders Accepts.
 Tn accepting the nomination, MT. Landers smilingly remarked after expressing his gratitude for the ex- pressions of confidence given him, that it seems to be a wise rule these days to be careful what you say and then have it printed in the newspa-
