Washington Correspondent TELLS Of
Joke Played by Senator'S on
Veteran Capitol Barber.

One OF the most remarkable things
nj out men. be they OF high or low es-
tute, is that they never grow up.
Take for instance, that group Of el.
der statesmen In the United States
senate. Here is the trick they were
caught playing on Sims, the old negro
barber at the capitol, who has been
shaving tliem and their kind for forty
years.
Sims Is q preacher and great Blbll-
cal authority when he is not shaving
senator's. He Is profoundly religious.
He has confidence In his fellows,
So, when Senator Harry New OF In.
diana told Sims that he had u present
for him, the venerable barber walked
into the trap all unsuspecting.
The senator said he wanted to be-
stow his present In private. He and
Sims went into an anteroom. The SEN
ator squatted down and Sims did like
wise. The senator took from his peck
ct II large.slzed pair of dice and rolled
them out on the carpet. Sims watched.
At this moment group OF SEM.
tors, In the plot with New, burst Into
the room. There, apparently, were SEN
ator New and the old barber, despite
his protestations OF religion, shooting
craps. The statesmen were horrlhed.

position OF Frau Ebert as mistress OF
the Presidents palace In Berlin.
Many OF the actors in the Passion
Play next year will doubtless be the
same as those In the cast when the
play was last produced In 1910. An.
ton Lang who enacted the role OF
Jesus Christ in 1900 and 1910, will
probably be chosen for the part
again, as he Is still young enough to
undertake the arduous task and
looks the part so well that younger
aspirants IRE not likely to displace
him.

OF Mary In 1910. has married since
that time. No married woman can
play role. Consequently all the
young women Dt Oberammergau

the highly important part. Paula

promising candidates for the role OF

Eghty.two OF the Oberammersau
