It Is tho delight of lila life to tal;o you up In tho prcK.s gnl lories, tho beat plaeo in tho world to feeo nubile men, and point out fticea to you. Ills tongue moves In Hymnhony with his forellnger. There's nooouy too great for him to tipftik of in n familiar way, no body too obscure for him to know notno thing aliout. "There," ho Bays, pointing with his lead pencil to n big man In ono of tho rear Heats of tho hoimo, "Is Jim Hums, of Mlssouil. Know Jim? 1 mean tho largo man with tho light mustnelio and tho curly hair. That u ono of tho best men in tho world. IIo weighs 225 pounds) and isn't n lightweight in debato or anything else. Comes Irom tho St. Joseph district in Missouri. Ho is rich, Sneer thing about tho Hums family is tat thev hold all their property in com mon. Thcro'sJlm and his two brothers and hln two nous. Altogether they uro worth about $3,000,000, and every cent of It Is held In common. They liavo tho biggest bank in St. Joseph, lots of real estate and ritocks. Tho threo Hums brothers and Jim's two sons nro nil chums. They llvo together in a grent hoiiKO in St. Joseph. Tho brothers nib all widowers, and tho boys have never married. Their houso is like a club house, nnd ono of tho best placed in thu world to spend a few weeks. They have a country houso at a summer resort near St. Joseph. CI rent times they havo out there. They havo plenty of guests from among "tho boys" of St. Jo, Kansas City and St. Louis. It is esteemed an honor as well as a pleasure to bo invited to Bpcnd a few days with tho Iuruscs. Tho Hurnscs aro always together. That's ono of Jim's Bonn sitting besldo him now. How did ho get in on . tho floor, bccing ho isn't a member? I don't know. Guess ho's a eonuuittco clerk or something, nominally. Tell you a story alwut this Hums boy. All tho Hums boys play tiokcr. Their father taught them how when they wcro little fellows. This ono in particular is n great poker player. Last summer tho threo Hums brothers nnd Jim's two boys wcro playing n pretty stllT game ono nMit out at their summer house. Thev aro always playing together, nnd don t liko to play with outsiders. On this oc clusion young Burns lost several big pots to his father, and then turned round nnd put up a hand on tho old man, and beat him out of $7,000 at ono show down. But you mustn't get tho idea that Jim Uurns is a rough man. He's a gentle man, ntui was iincty educated, lie grad uated second in his class at Harvard, was a circuit judgo for several years, and has been In congress since 1831. Ho lives at Willard's hotel, whero ho pays $3.p0 a month for his rooms, so ho will havo n good pluco in which to keep bach elors' hall for tho entertainment of tho other Hurnscs, who nro often with him. "Tho man in liglit clothes, with a red necktie, n smilo on his face, and bangs on his forehead? That is William Wal ter Phelps, of Now Jersey. Ho looks somewhat liko n dudo, but peoplo who think ho is ono don't know him. Phelps is a brainy man. At Yale ho was a leader both in tho class room nnd on tho campus. IIo looks eHeminato, but ho is an titlilcto. Ills muscles aro liko steel. Ho has a stock ranch down in Texas, and when ho goes down thero ho's a Texan. Jumps a bronco nnd rides thirty miles without stopping, carries a gun and drinks a littlo whisky with tho natives just to keep them good naturcd. Phelps hud brains enough to make his own way in life. Before no was 25 venru old ho had n largo law prnctlco. Made his fortune in railroads. Some years ago ho had nearly his whole fortuno in vested in ono enterprise the Texas Cen tral. IIo kept sending good money uftcr bad in that rat hole till his friends ad vised him to pull out or ho would ruin himself. Tho road wouldn't pay. But Phelps stuck to it till ho hud put in $1,000,000, nnd dually tho road turned tho hill and mudo him a very rich man. He is ono of tho most genial men In public life. Everybody likes him. His manners nro holt, almost ef feminate. Hut if you think ho hasn't a will just try him once. IIo can yes or no (iilcker mid btick to it longer than any man In congress. IIo likes to bo frank and conununicntivo when frank nohs will help Homebody and hurt no body, but you couldn't pull a word out of him with a yokoof bteers when thero nro reasons why ho shouldn't talk. IIo adores Hktiuo and is fond of giving dinners. It Is onoof tho treats of Wash ington to bit at his table. Ho i.i generous with his money, but makes no display of it. Ho gives away more money in charity than anybody 1 know of In Washington. Do you remember how ho saved young Eno from going to prison by going down into his pocket and pulling out $110,000, and fairly bhaming Euos rich father Into putting up a similar sum to save his his boy? Phelps did that simply out of thu goodness of his heart, and not be cause ho had any selfish interest in young Eno, for ho hadn't. "I know of another caso. When Phelps was down in Texas bomo years ago ho met Hilly Crain, now in congress. Craiii was lamenting his bad luck in 11 cattle ranch, and uiid lie was likely to lose everything ho had. 'How much would favo your' asked Phelps. 'Twenty thousand dollars,' bald Craln. 'I'll let you have it,' replied Phelps, ns quick us that, nnd hogavo him his check on tho spot. Crain has since paid back every dollar of the loan. That's tho kind of a man Phelps i.i. Ho's u clear thinker, a splendid talker, and a man with a heart In him. aj, "The littlo man sitting down thero in front is Frank Lawler. Surely you'vo heard of him. Ho comes from Chicago. Used to keen a saloon there. Llkcti to talk about the poor workingman nnd twist tho tail of tho British lion. Somo peoplo polio kin at Frank becauso ho murders tho .iuccd'h EtlglUh nnd blar neys mi much, hut 1 think ho deserves a good deal of credit for pulling himself up tho way ho has without any early uu vantages. Ho is tho hardest working man in congress. At 1 o'clock every morning ho begins lil.t rounds if tho departuuTts. Uo work.t through more pc;;iois uud things like thut lit m anybody, (jut a cato in Frank Law I rV CAPITAL CITY COURIER, SATURDAY, JANUARY 26, hands, nnd it's almost ns good ns won. IIo sticks and hangs liko a leech. About 11 o'clock ho runs around tho hotels, nnd If there's anybody In town from Chicago ho shows them tho sights, takes them up to will on tho president, nnd does tho fair thing by them generally. After his work In the houso is done ho sits up till 2 or II o'clock in tho morning writing letters and sending out public documents. Ho Is the greatest letter writer in congress. Popular? Should say ho was. Thochauces nro he'll come to congress ns long us ho wants to. Ho Hjieiuls $500 a year for public documents to bo malted his con stituents. All tho peopto In his district havo small libraries of public documents. Why, even tho switchmen and gnto tenders along tho railroads that run through Frank's district havo libraries of public documents piled up in their littlo shanties. They nil swear by Frank Lawler. Ho's n man of good habits, nnd Is nobody's fool, either. To show you how smart ho is I'll tell you ho keeps u pair of cyo glasses in his vest Kckut. When ho meets anybody that knows him nnd that ho can't place ho shakes hands warmly, Ingeniously finds out who tho person is, nnd then pullsouthlsglasscs, wipes them carefully and sayst 'Why, of course.

"That great heavy man, with n Ixxly as big us u tobacco hogshead, Is Barnes, ofCleorgia. IIo weighs more than 1)00 pounds, nnd Is tho biggest man In Con gress by long odds, ami ono of tho most eloquent. Heard a good story about Barnes. Tho other day ho went with somo southorn friends of Ids up Into tho loft of tho war, state nnd navy build ing, whero a lino view of tho city uud river is to Iw had. Wliilo they woro up thero Hamca' friends noticed him to turn pnlo uud look scared. They asked him what tho matter was, and ho trem blingly pointed ton placard which read: : The. supiwrtltii; EtreiiRth of tills floor U ! ! 160 lbs. K.T Rq. ft. : " 'Great God!' ho exclaimed, 'I weigh 800 pounds, nnd if I don't straddle out I'll go down!' "And suiting his action to tho word ho began to take long steps bo his wholo weight wouldn't comoon any ono squaro foot of tho floor." Thus tho Washington gossipcr rattles on nbout ono man after another, no mat ter who. It is ull tho snmo to him. Uo over to tho uennto and tho first man ho begins on is President Ingalls. "Ingalls," he says, "13 ono of tho brainiest men In tho Bcnnto. Tho only trouble with him is bo likes to say smart, cutting tilings. Ho doesn't menu half ho says, but ho is bo fond of slashing nnd hitting ho can't let folks nlono. I've heard him tear his best friends to pieces. What ho likes best is to havo itcoplo talk back to him. IIo likes to havo peoplo givo him ns good ns ho sends, and I Hunk If 6OH10 men would take a whack nt him instead of going oft nnd talking about his malignity Iio'd respect them moro, niul tlioy il understand nnd liko him better. Next to his wife, ho is wonderfully fond of his family. I think ho likes to ridicule men in a joking way. IIo used to board down at tho Strnthmoro Arms hotel, where Logan lived. Congressman Thomas, of Illinois, boarded there, too, nnd Ingalls used to nng Thomas unmercifully. Fi nally Thomas turned on his persecutor. Ingalls is liko Phelps used to bo in hlfl fondness for red neckties, nnd 0110 day ho nut on ono that was unusually largo and red. When they sat down to dinner that evening, Lognn, Ingalls, Thomas and others nil at ono table, Thomas began in this way: 'Senator Ixgnn, snld he, 'as I was coming up Twell Hi street this afternoon I saw something that shocked mo very much, bomcthiug that frightened mo till tho blood stood still in my veins.' " 'What was it?' inquired Logan. " 'Why. I looked up toward this houso ind tho building becmed to bo on fire. It was wrapped in llames. 1 started and ran as fast as I could, thinking of what a terrible thing it would bo if my wifo and you nnd Mrs. Logan and ull tho others should uot bo iiblo to get out, if tho lurid flumes bhould envelop nnd coiibumo you. if wo should havo a great holocaust right hero in our peaceful littlo hotel. Tho thought was bo horrifying thut I ran at tho top of my bpeed, crying Uro and rousing tho peoplo ulotig tho way. Tho ohock to my nerves was bo great that I am still trembling.' " 'But what was it,' inquired Logan, 'that guvo you such a nightinuro as that? " 'As 1 caino closer to tho house,' Thomas replied, 'I saw what it wns. Senator Ingalls wns standing on tho front steps, whero tho rays of tho Betting 6im caught him, uud ho had that neck- tlo on.' "For onco in his lifo Ingalls was knocked out. Whilo Logan and tho others laughed tho benntor from Kansas blushed as red as tho offending necktie, but ho could mako uo reply. Ho didn't get mad, though, nnd when Mrs. Ingalls met Mrs. Thomas nt luncheon next day, shosaid, 'Do you know, Mrs. Thomas, James is very fond of your husband?' IngalU and Thomas aro now tho best of friends, for tho president of tho benate likes a man who snbscs back, but ho has never fiiicm that day worn a red necktie. ti "Talking about big men, that round headed, gray old fellow thero isn't bo very binull. IIo is Senator Sawyer, of Wisconsin. Tho iioliticinus bay ho has tho btato of Wisconsin in his pocket. Sawyer told mo onco ho ennio to tho senate bhnply becauso ho hud nothing else to do. IIo was dying of ennui. Tho benatorial beat was a bort of play thing for him. IIo says now ho has got ull tho fun out of it thero is to bo hud, and that ho doesn't euro to como back any more. But ho has four years yet to Ecrve. Sawyer la very fond of lius son, wlio i3 out west, Texas, 1 think, on n cattle ranch. When tho young man got ready to start out for himself tho old gentleman gavo him $450,000 nnd told him to take (;ood euro of himself mid his monoy. 'That isn't tho way I btarted in life," added Ihobenntor; 'in order toget out into tho world and get 11 htart on my own hook, I had to buy my tituo from the mooter to whom I was apprenticed. It cost mo &100 of hard earned money to get away from tho blacksmith bhop and into the lumber business."'
