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.

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. On
ther's where there wvas a minori y which believed
urn guilty both Democrats nd Republicans
ormedl a part of Chat n'inority.

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."

"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." Name given by Poe
