He seems destined by birth f >r leadership. His great grandmother was princess of the Kaw tribe of In dians, a daughter of White Plume, their Chief. Her grandfather was Chief Pawhuskie of th». Osage tribe, which are now, perhaps, the richest people per capita in the world. The Senator’s mother died when he was three year* old, and he was tak.-n back to the Kaw reservation by his grandmother, who directed as far as possible, his early years and instilled in him an ambition for greater things than riding races at the fairs and gatherings. Spirited from Reservation. It was his grandmother who, when the government started the transfer of the Kaw Indians from Kansas to a reservation in the old Indian Terri tory, persuaded young Curtis of the the wisdom of embracing the world of his white people, and after the exodus had begun, helped to spirit him out late a t night.

Since that time he has spent fif teen years in the House of Reprcoen- tatives at Washington and almost twenty years in the Senate. He has been a conspicuous figure m both branches and has had a hand in w tho shaping or passing of every im portant piece of our legislation in the past quarter of a century. The Senator ir mrtTSl of the most aMe parliamentarians in the country, he has labored in a know ing and effective way to accomplish those things he has undertaken. He cares not for the pride of authorship. Results count with him. That same doggtrj determination and perseverance made him the suc cessful little jockey whose fame was known as far as civilization then extended in Kansas. They say he rode like “all hell had broke loose.” From an Indian Uipee on the Wes tern plains to the White House in Washington is about the widest pos sible stretch in this country. He has already come to within a step of it. - In his acceptance of the proffor of the Kansas delegation he says he will not be R stalking horse for any other candidate. That’s Curtis.

The fiber varies in color and weight, and the man who can gue«s nearest the length of the fiber is called a cotton man by the public, a fool by the farmer and a poor business man by his creditors. “The price of cotton is determined in New York and goes up when you have sold and down when you have bought. A buyer working for a group of mills was sent to New York to watch the cotton market and after a few days’ deliberation he wired his firm to this effect: “Some think it will go up and some think it will go down. 1 do too. Whatever you do will be wrong, act at once.” “Cotton is planted in the Spring, mortgaged in the Summtr and left in the field in the Winter. “You can and you can’t; you w : ll and you won’t.
