UNITED STATES SENATOR

| Editors Note--With the adjourn
ment of Congress, Senator Reynolds
will discontinue his weekly column
! until the next session is convened in
January. The Senator has asked that
we give to readers his sincere appre-
citation for the interest shown in his
effort to keep them informed with
regard to Congressional developments
---f
AS the thirG session of the seventy
fifth Congress comes to a close in
an eventful election year, it is already
evident that the seventy-sixth Con-
gress converting next January will be
of vital Importance to the country. In
some respects, it may even surpaSs
from the standpoint of legislative po-
licies, the sessions of the last two
FEARS.
There are many reasons for such
viewpoint. Farm legislation enact
ed this year will have undergone the
I.test of actual application and it will
be apparent whether it will answer
the needs of the farmer or require re-
vision. The country will krcw more
a70ut the wage and hour bill being
pushed through the Congress as this
column is written. Reorganization Of
Federal agencies will, no doubt. again
be to the forefront. The so-calied
nuisance taxes" Inclndiny the Fed
eral gasoline tax ana other excise
levies on automobiles and automotive
parts and accessories, will expire in
1889 and consideration must be given
to reenactment OF aowing them to ex
Dire
In fact, al indications point &c
wholesome revision of the tax struc-
ture and there is some hope for the
elimination of duplicate taxes now
imposed by the Federal government
and by the states. In addition, it now
seems likely that full consideration
will be given to the financial pro-
blems confronting the railroads.
To these and other questions of i'm
portance at home, must be added tn
all-impOrtant matter of foreign poll
cies. Events in Europe will undoubt-
ly reach the point during the next
few weeks where we may expect new
difficulties or an easing of the war
! tension. Neutrality and embargo pro-
grams may have to be revised in a
new effort to keep the United States
from becoming party to foreivn en-
tanglements
} Equally as important is the general
decline abroad Of treaty and agree
n1ent values. "Unofficial wars" such
as are now being waged hold all the
horror of declared war and can only
be halted by the weight of world or

BUCKSHOT BROWN wouldn't
Ienter Ellen's Casa Hermosa much,
latter she moved in. He had helped
build it, but when the paint and the
"trimmin's" were all on, he was
shy of the place, sensing that an
uncouth old hillbilly such as he
was out of place there.
However, a day or two after the
cattle herd arrived, Ellen invited
Mr.. Brown formally to dinner
Dinner at seven. To save his soul,
he could think Of no way to refuse!
Right after breakfast that day
he began preparing himself for the
ordeal. He bathed out in the open
stream up in a canyon, notwith-
standing temperature that morn
ing of approximately 48 degrees.
He paid a Mexican girl a dollar to
come to his new rock cottage and
press the only suit of clothes he
owned. He labored at trimming
his bristly whiskers, for the first
time in at least IL months. He
borrowed necktie from Doctor
Bill Baron, paid devilish cowboy
a quarter to tie it, and finally saw
Ellen herself re-tie it when he VEN
tured in that night and glowed I'M
der her compliments.
Bill had refused to attend the
dinner, saying he was jealous of
Mr.. Brown. And so, just for fun,
Ellen put on all the style possible
for Uncle Buckshot. He sat as
straight as a soldier; with his
knife shoveled peas, potatoes,
meat, salad and bread sopped in
gravy, relinquishing. that favorite
tool" only when the Mexican girl
took it away and gave him a shiny
spoon with his ice cream.
"Fust ice cream I've had since

ventured, happy to see the deli

know you had been away any,"
\ "A-humpf. 1t was right smart

"Oh!"
An hour or so after dinner, as
they sat in the deep chairs before
her fireplace, conversation i'm
proved, It is hard to maintain >un-
accustomed formality in the soft
grow OF a fire, with a sweet and
friendly girl to talk to. Before he

ONCE UPON JUNE 18th

There is no more beautiful mOnu-
ment in all the world, of course, than
TAI Mahal, where lies all that is NOR
years ago today at the age of 81. She
had borne IA children in Is years to
Shah Johan (King of the World)
ruler of most of India, whose only
wife she was.
He had the magnificent structure
built at a cost the equivalent of
$1O,0OO,OOO, to show the world how
much he loved his wife. Yet had he
been a little more considerate of her
while She lived she might have lived
at least as much longer as it took to
complete her memorable years.
The Shah told the designer, whose
name is unknown otday, that he
wanted the building so perfect an
architectural achievement that it
could never be excelled. But when
it was completed, fully deserving of
the title of the most beautiful build
ing in the world, the Shah made
plans for the construction of a grand
err memorial to himself
His plans came to naught. For his
favorite son locked up the Shah as 3
mailman for spending so much money
on Tai Mahal, the tribute to the boys
own mother.

went over Ephriam Browns head.
Wise enough to realize his knowl-
edge was limited, he encouraged
Bill to keep on. Younger men had
to make progress; the old order
must go. It is an immutable law
Of living. However, he poked q
gnarled finger at Bill and spoke
again now.
"But lissen to me, young Doc, I
been up to Ellen's for supper. Din
ner, she called it, by dads! Never
ct so much in all my days. But
she amt rightly as happy as she
oughta be, seems to me. She's
stuck off away out here in these
hills when by rights she's city
woman. And they amt no other
young people her age at hand. Are
you content just to work for her,
and never go in for no finer senti-
ments 2"
Bill grinned, but it was more of
sad grin than a happy one.
"Buckshot, work here because
the pay is good and because can
be near her. But hundred dol
lars a week, which get, is nothing
compared to her hundreds of thou
sands"
"It'd be yours if you married
her."
Bill glared at the old man then,
his eyes flashing. It was answer
enough.
"Yeamp, I know how you feel,
damn if I DON'T" Buckshot ad-
mitted, rising to go. Keep plug
ging, son. Something ikely'l turn
up."
He and Bill both were in bed
within another half hour. Bill ad-
mitted to himself, when Buckshot
was gone, that Ellen needed more
friends, more social outlets. But
he was honestly afraid to provide
them for her. No matter how he
arranged it, young men would be
sure to discover Ellen Dale and
make love to her, and that thought
appalled, him.
All at once it dawned on him
that he had been guilty of high
seltlshness. Unable or unwilling to
make love to her himself, he had
established her in an isolated part
OF Arizona, secretly delighted that
she was away from such suave
suitors as Sidney Bromberg and
others in Hollywood. He felt that
time might indeed turn UP some
thing, as Buckshot had said, but
ne didn't know what. Meantime
he had been careful to keep him
self extremely busy with his job,
lest he brood about the matter, or
do something he would regret.
He heard an automobile engine
probably some cowboy coming
back from town-but paid it no
attention. He lay there trying to
think but too fatigued to avoid
mental confusion, and was lust
drifting into first sleep when a
strange sound assailed him.
1t was faint sound, but foreign
