glance. The man's home Ih filled with well
chosen works of art. Ho would nut care to
hn called an art connoisseur. He Is not a
man who cares to pose. To sum IiIh charac

American gentleman."

Sonator Millard Ih mothodlcal In his
work. Ho has u well-ordered mind and Is
very systematic. Ho never misses an en
gagement aud Is always to be found In his
oillco during business hours, He Is even
tempered and genial, hut ever a man of
few words.
Tho sonator makes an occasional trip to
Now York, where he Is Interested In sev
eral financial Institutions, hut spends moHt
of his tlmo In Omaha. For years ho has en
Joyed tho personal friendship of many
prominent financiers nnd statesmen. Since
Ills young manhood ho han been able to win
tho confldenco of men of affairs and his ad
vancement han been due, In a measure, to
Ibis trait. Ho enjoys tho close friendship
of such leaders as Senator Ilautm and Sec
rotary Lyman J. (iage.
Tho Nebraska legislature has seen IH to
uloct a long-term senator who has spent
most of his life In Nebraska ami Ih thor
oughly In sympathy with thu west and Its
needs. Although Mr. Millard has seldom
taken an active part In politics, ho has
always been a staunch republican and rung
truo on the money question when the statu
was in tho paroxysms of tho freu silver
craze.
Ho has seldom addressed u larger audi
ence than a directors' meeting, but bo bus
a wide knowledge of questions of stnto and
has opinions which he does not heHltutc

JOSEl'H H. MILLARD, JR., THE SENATOR'S (1RANDSON.
The Haste r Bride
Ah light as lightest air
She comes e'en ns u spell,
A spirit debonair,
That rarely breaks the shell
Her sudden coming wreaths
All hearts In lovellt dreams
When on thu roso she brcatheH
The rose more brightly beams.
Tho music of tno sea
Is In her rippling hair.
Whose wlnd-klsscd drapery
Is blowing hero and there.
The breeze goes plt-n-pnt
Aud slacks Its pensive pace,
To linger on tlio hat
That's lighted by her face.
Oh, fay, mid gnome, and sprite,
And huttcrlly, and bee,
All hover with delight
And madcap ecstasy.
Around this smiling, sweet
Creation thnt today
Appenrs on twinkling feet
And flaunts along thu way
Hleh purples, greens nnd goIdH,
That shimmer as they shift
lu airy dimpled folds
On''s Hplrlt to uplift.
I'litll, though poor or rich.
One hltigH at Joy's Hood tide;
Is this an ellland witch
Or Just an Easter bride?
it K M In Now York Herald
An Easter Rose
Tho lilies shot so straight nnd true,
Their lancing leaves between:
Tiesprent with April rain or dew,
Their chilly white and green.
"Oh lilies, pale ns heartless Fcnr,
Or Grief that cannot weep:
I would tho rose the rose wero here,
Mlno Easter tldo to keep.
"Ye do not speak of Him aright.
Who, on this blessed dawn,
Ilrnught Immortnllty to light.
That, else, had been foregone.
I raised the lilies faint nnd cold,
Tho sheaf then fell nimrt;
Oh, miracle of Joy! behold,
A roso was at Its heart!
Tho lilies unregnrded Iny:
Tho rose took fragrant breath,
And said to me, or seemed to say.
"I keep no pact with Death!
"Of Life, of Life, of Life alone.
Inviolate nnd deep,
I witness hear ns I have known
And I thlno Easter keen!"
-Edith M. Thomas In Collier's Weekly.
