Fairbanks was elected vice-president of the United States he held a seat as senator, rep resenting the Otate of Indiana. When he became vice-president, Mr. Fair banks' utteiances necessarily were limited to such expressions as "calen dar," repeated sixty times a day, and "Does the senator from South Caro Hina yield to .the senator from Wis consin?" When lie was senator Mr. Fair banks spoke more than semi-occasion. ally and had the same trials in at emipting to get the floor that beset all the other ienators. From one of Senator Fairbanks' experi-. mnces it was thought that when he became vice resident, and as a necessary consequence the pre Se his deliN The his sit __________________________was >Y/EMA OR' AN//'Z- /M*2.SO/y **el In siding offieer of the senate lie might. from slheer sympathy try to deliver some of those whose 0 :lciberations lhe guardls from the fate which once befell him. One of the speeches of length which Mr. Fair banks madle as a senator was on the question of anama. The speech was delivered not long After the recognition of the independence of the republic of P'anma by the United States and at a time when Party feeling ran high. It was at log speech and the senator gained much of ' the fruit of glory, though lie had to wait a long time for it to ripen, and this was the way of it: Senator Cuallom had charge of the Panama matter on the floor of the senate. The Indianat senator wvent to Mr. Cullonm and expiressed hief wish to speak at a certain hour. Senator Cuil lonm said "All right," and apparently the thing was fixed. The senate's business se'ssion was over and the hands of the clock showed a quarter to one. (1 Senator Fairbanks buttoned his coat and started to rise from his seat. Mr. Fairbanks is a long man and the process of his rising is likewise long. Hie was up finally. however, only to find the aged Morgan was claiming Pr'esldent Pro Tem Frye's attention. A look of something like despair came into the Indiana senator's face, for when Morgan of Alabama got started on a speech neither gods nor men knew when lie would come to the end.' Senator Morgan, however, drove away the look sf despair from Senator Fairbanks' face by say. Ing: "I wish to make a few remarks only." Mr. Fairbanks sanik back in his seat and Mr. Morgan with only two pages of notes on his desk began to talk. He kept at it for twenty minutes, ' came to what the senator thought was his climax Emd then apparently started to resume his seat.t rhe Indiana senator had straightened up again and half opened his mouth t~o begin, but thet southern senator had straightened -up again and mad on his desk two new pages of notes, which ie had drawn from a shelf underneath. The Indianan sat down once more and the C Alabaman wont on with his renewed detei'mina Lion. He spoke until half past one, came to an other seeming climax andl then made a movement c which made eveiry one think he was going to sit down, and this movement was a signal for the Hoosier senator to rise again. flut Mr. Morgan c had twvo fresh pages of notes and at it he s started anew. Mr. Fairbanks sighed and sat. The other senator's who had been held to their seats by the belief that Mr. Fairbanks was to speak looked at the aged but tireless Alabaman and one after another left for the senate restau rant for the luncheon hour was full come. Fair-. banks, Morgan and Frye wvere left alone on the floor' of the senate, but the galleries had a'I goodly throng, waiting to hear from the middle west on the matter of Panarma. Senator Morgan talked ih, twenty-minute relays with two pages of notes i ,r each twenty min utes and talked until the fifth hour. Then Sena tor Fairbanks, who until that time had held the fort, saw the people departing and the minute of adjournitieht nigh. He walked over to Senator < Morgan hield' out his hand, and with the grace for awhIeh' he is famous he congratulated his i southern colleague on the strength of his spee.'h, if not on its length and then walked o0' and had 'uncheon and dinner at one sitting. Y,-CINE",M ulI M E" i:...! .3Vr CL0-YA O5LAAZVP ~MC 0A4/Y~Y - -~ nator Fairbanks found another occasion to malh isthlmian address. Un til the hour came for Its ery he had an eye On gle for Senator Morgan Alabaman, however, for onee in his life wher pet subject was up for discussion was content tc itill and say nothing. In the press galleries I1 whispered that Mr. M organ wasn't feeling very that day. the particular case of the Panama matter Sena >r Cullom, being the chairman on the committee n foreign relations, had charge of the legisla lon on the floor of the senate. Trho trials of enator Cullom on that occasion wvere the trials fthe pilot on every measure of magnitude that Slaunched 'for a passage through either house senate. Nearly every senator andl rep~resentative wishies 1 make a speech on the big things that are' efore congress, Of course all of them cannot peak, but the trials of the man in charge begin lhen the members askc that their speaking may e postponed for a day or two. The intending p~eakers have their frailty of vanity. They want I) speak when the galleries are not crowded, and the galleries are not crowded they ask that iey may sp~eak on another day. When the Panama matter was up Senatom' Cul-. >mn finally bec'ume angry and tired with the sena ar's who asked that yet another (lay be set for he making of their' speeches. The Illinois senator Id not wish Senator Morgan to have all the ime to himiself, and( Morgan couild he counted a to take every minute t hat was dropped to him a talk about the glories of the Nicaraguan route ar a canal, about the imbecility of using the 'anama route andl about the Republican sin of he recognition of the republic on the isthmus. The Panama matter is only an instance in olnt. Many a speech on the r'ailroadl rate bill ,as put off because the attendance wvas not hat it should have been from the viewpoint of hoe man who was to speak. Congressman have heir human weaknesses. Tihe last great (duty which Senator Platt of onnecticit performed for his country was his foik as presiding oflicer of the senate court dur ag the trial of Judge Charles Swayne. Unques lonably the strain of that trial shortened Senator 'latt's life. He presided with dignity and with 1ie rarest ingpartiality. The hours of the court's ession were long, and yet the aged Connecticut enator refused to leave his seat .even for the otting of necessary food until the session of ach day was ended. Prior to the opening of the trial Senator Platt tood in the vice-pi'esident's place and told his blleagues that it was their duty not to lose a ord of the testimony lest they bring in an un nist verdict. The result of this was that with no or two exceptions the senators sat in their eats andl heard important and unimportant testi nony, listeniug to ev'ery argument of counsel, and lest anything should escape them they made nsistent demand that every witness should speak 10 that all men in the c'hamber might hear. It is probable that. oefor'o one-quarter of the rial proceedings of the case against Charles swaynae was ended every senator had made up lis mind as to the guilt or the innocence of the iecused, but the belief of guilt or innocence ormed early did not prevent the attendance of thy member of that high court during the entire ime of the trial. Judge Swayne was acquitted. Ils acquittal was not madle a party matter, as nany feared it was to be. On mome of the counts gainst him he was acquitted nanimnously.

QURED ITCHING AND BURNINd "I was taken with the itch in April, 1904, and used most everything. I had a friend pay me a visit from Cumberland, and she advised me to use Cuticura Remedies which I did. The cure was certainly quick, and I use them to this day. I had it terri bly under my knees. I only used one box of pills, but two boxes of Cut cura Ointment, and I use the Cuti cura Soap all the time. .1 hope this will benefit others, as it has me, after Dr. - and others could do noth. ing for me." (Signed) Miss Lu John son, 1523 Ninth St., N. W., Wash ington, D. C., April 3, 1910. In a later letter Miss Johnson adds: "The trouble began with an eruption under my knees, and extended up wards toward my waist, until I was not able to sit down. It kept a con stant itching and burning all the time, night and day. I went to my doctor, but he could do me no good after I do not know how many medicines he gave me, and then told me I would be compelled to go to a skin special ist, which I positively refused to do. I cried all tho time. Finally I made up my mind to try Cuticura Rem edies, and tried Cuticura Pills, Oint mient and Soap, and wa. entirely cured of the itching three days after I started using them. The healing took about eight days. I consider Cuticura Remedies marvelous, and would recommend them everywhere." Cuticura Remedies are sold through out the world. Send to Potter Drug & Chem.

FEED YOU MONEY Feed Your Brain, and it Will Feed You. Money and Fame. "Ever since boyhood I have been especially fond of meats, and I am con vinced I ate too rapidly, and failed to masticate my food properly. 4 "The result was that I found myself, a few years ago, afflicted with ail ments of the stomach, and kidneys, which interfered seriously with my business. "At last I took the advice of friends and began to eat Grape-Nuta instead of the heavy meats, etc., that had con stituted my former diet. "I found that I was at once bene flted by the change, thiat I was soon relieved from the heartburn and indi gestion that used to follow my meals, that the pains in my back from my kidney affection had ceased. "My nerves, which used to be un steady, and my brain, which was slow and lethargic from a heavy diet of meats and greasy foods, had, not in a moment, but gradually, and none the 1 less surely, been restored to normal efficiency. "Nowv every nerve is steady and my brain and thinking faculties are quick er and more acute than for years past. "After my old style breakfasts I used to suffer during the forenoon from a feeling of weakness which hindered me seriously in my work, but since I began to use Grape-Nuts food I can work till dinner time with all ease and conhfort."
