March TO Th long tln;rg In the Amerlran Congress, itrlklng m they ara, ar outrank both In number and time by the KnglUh parliamentary tenure Some of the British record! make Ten the long- services of Senators Morrill, Alllgon and Shernuin look commonplace. Wlillam Ewart Qladatone made a con tlnutnis parliamentary record of slxty-slx ytar. .lie was prime minister twice, and beld varlour subordinate admlnlstvatlve offlrtei under other premiers. Nevertheless, whl'e holding these places he Continued to be a member of the House of Commons, to whlfh he wae first elected In 1832, when but Ti years old. Herein Is where the English legislator has distinct advantage over his American : cousin. He ran enter the commons aa a mere boy. He does not have to relinquish Ma -place In the house to accept an admlnis- tratlve position. Gladstone's was a long K political career, but It was not an unusual me In 'English annals. He represented the ' I'nlversity of Oxford for eighteen consecu tive years. Lord ralmerston was for fifty-eight years continuously a member of Psrliement. He entered the commons at SJ. and for twenty consecutive years represented that ether great English university Cambridge. He was premier of England twice. For nine teen years he was continuously secretary of war under five different administrations. Ha waa secretary of atate twenty-five years. . , Hlr Robert Peel waa elected to the House nf Commons when but ZI. and waa continu ously a member of that body for fifty-seven year. He was three times prim minister, and almost continuously for forty years an office holder. Iird John Kussell also entered the House of Pommcns at tl and served continuously In tj.atnd th House of Ixrds tor sixty- five years. Ha was In otTloe two-thirds of the time Aid premier twice. ' Gladstone s great rival. Benjamin Disraeli, did not get Into the House of Commons until he waa SS, having been defeated in several previous trials. At first derided and hooted, down, he eventually became leader of the house and was prime minister twloa. His parliamentary career lasted only forty four years. . E. J. Bmlth-Slanley. afterward Lord Derby, was elected to the House of Com mons at 21, and was In Paraliament forty six years continuously. He waa prime minister three 'times. Sir Robert Wajpole, to go further afield, entered the "house at 2S and held various offices, among them the premiership twice, the las. lme for twentytwo years con tinuously, when he resigned and was created earl of Oxford. Ha was In Parlia ment forty-four year. These do not exhaust the list. They are cited because they are familiar names to Americans. Their extreme youth upon entering the commons Is a remarkable feature of these casts. . Poubtless more than a thousand men have served In Parlia ment mora than fifty years each continu ously who first began their careers In the house and who entered public life under yi William Pitt tli younger enured the house at tl, waa chancellor of the ex chequer at 21 and prime minister at 84, and aft 25 was the most popular snd powerful minister of modern times, the greatest tubject that England had seen for many generations. He resigned In 1801, after eighteen years of almost absolute power. He died at 47. This great career of a mere boy waa no accident. Wlillam Pitt was a prodigy, like our Henry Clay, who was choson speaker of th house oolncldent with his entry Into that body and coi Unued to be Its speaker during his entire tenure of about ten years. American rrprettentatlvls and senators hae not the advantage of entering public life at an early age. Under direct consti tutional provision they ara Ineligible until 23 and a) years eld. respectively, for mem bership In the house and senate. Vary few. In the prevailing; tendency of publla opinion, reach the house at S. Our rep resentatives, unaided by the dlvlna right of casta, are generally mature men before they arrive. For instance, the late Justin S. Morrill of Vermont was M when elected to oon gress In lib; Senatur W. B. Allison, holding the Bex( highest record of tenure, was S3 when elected to the house In 1863. John aherman was SI whan elected to the house In 1854, the same year Mr. Morrill came down from Vermont. Their several ages are about the general run of the thousands of representatives and senators who have come and gone. In nearly every house, however, there are two cr three young fellows who barely oome within the constitutional limit. Sev eral of our most conspicuous statesmen of past times entered the house at about Among them John Randolph of Roanoke, John C. Breckenrldgs cf Kentucky, William R. King of Alabama and Rlahard M. John son of Kentucky, All of them subsequently served In the senate, and all except Ran dolph were vice presidents of the United States. Breckenrtdge, afterward a con federate mayor-general and secretary of war, was one of the defeated candidates for the presidency In I860, when Lincoln was elected. John V. Wright of Tennessee was elected to the house In 1854 at the age cf 26 and Augustus C. Dodge of Iowa, afterward eeiuUor, was elected at IS. Speakers Hunter, Ccbb and Grow en tered the house at Tl. Bpeaker John W. Taylor at A, Speakers Polk and White at K, Bpeaker Colfax at tl and Bpeaker Blaine at -32. Speaker Clay was elected first to the nenata at S9, being undeiy the constitu tional age. President Franklin Pierce was a repre sentative at W and senator at 12, President Andrew Jackson at 29 and aenator at to, President James Buchanan at tl and sen ator at 41, President James A. Garfield st 2 and elected senator at 48. but made president before he took his seat In the senate, and President William McKlnley at 12. Various other American political notabil ities entered the house at these youth ages: Francis W. Pickens and Alex. Ramsey at 17. Fernando Wood and Edward McPheraoa at M. John C. Calhoun, Bam Houston and Stephen A. Douglas at 2t: Danell Webster, Alex. H. Stephens and Roscoe Cockling at to; John J. Crittenden, Allen O. Thurman, Thomas A. Hendricks and William 8. Holman at tl. John H. Ketcham, the record holder of house ten ure. wj tt, when first alerted to that body. In the congress Just expired there were several members Just 'barely above the constitutional age when first chosen. Mor ris 8heppard of Texas, the youngest, waa a few months over tt when elected Mi ltuO; John J. VI tigers Id of New York. . a few months over 24 and Burton L. French of Idaho 27. ' ' Senator Joseph W. Bailey of Texas, at 43. has a record of sixteen years conseou tlve service. Aside from Mr. Bailey, Mr. LsFolette la now the only . senator who entered congress under 10. Ke got Into the house In 1884 at SB. serving six years. LaFollette Is nlns years older than Bailey. Others who entered congress young are Senators Dolllver and Kean at 80, Elklns and Burkett at tl. Hale at 32, Allison, Car ter and Long at 14, Cullom a,nd Burrows at 85, Teller and Lodge at 14. Still others were past middle ags when they entered congress, notably Pettua, the oldest, who waa 76; Depew, 6i; Proctor. 61; Bacon. '66; Morgan. 63; Foraker, SI; Till man, 48; Warren, 46; Spooner, 42. FATHER. OF PINK LEMONADE Ortgslaatar of Clreas Beverage Dis covered stad His Methods - Revealed. When one fondly recalls pink lemonade, the circus snd boyhood, he should know, If he does not, that Magistrate Levi F. Walter of Bethlehem, Pa., Is the man who gave color to the picture thus conjured up by the mind's eye. He waa the Inventor of the rose-tinted beverage through which you and your girl used to Imagine you could ths more clearly scan the heavenly visions In tights and tinsels, for which every boy with a lusty boy's Instincts used to Imagine that he would willingly forsake home and mother and "travel with the show." Who would imagine that pink lemonade had. In the good old days of ths sawdust arena, meant violence, bloodshed, attempt at poisoning and boycotts for Its innocent Inventor? It was the depressing effect of a bullet wound received In the third day's battle at historic Gettysburg; the condition of be ing very neariy down and out, with wife and family dependent on him at Eaa. ton. that drove good old 'Squire Walter, then not ao aged, to such a desperate ex. pedlent as the invention of the pink con coction. No one need Imagine from this ststement that Justice Wslter had to wade through bloody seas to get his crimson and his In spiration for the sweet Invention. Far from It, at the outset. One day' Walter was sent to the confectioner's to order candy. While waiting for II he watched a boy coloring thS viscid mse, which was lster destined to tickle ths palate of ths bucollo youth In the shape ef red-and-white-etriped mint sticks. Mr. Walter noticed. that the boy. In order to produce the blight red color of ths candy, every now and then poured a few drops of "some deep red stuff" Into the sweetness. Finally he1 asked ths hoy: "What Is the stuff that gives ths candy Its beautiful red color?" He said It was boiled cochineal. Walter quisled ths boy until he had ths modus operandi of the barber's pole candy down perfectly. "If cochineal gives the candy Us beauti ful ejolor, why not lemonade?" was the In ward query. And then there was born the Idea which quickly germinated Into ths full blossom of the pink lemonade of circus fame. Stepping Into a drug store on his way horns, ha bought a quantity of cochineal and a lot of lemons, which In those days were not such disreputable things. Manu featuring a lot of lemonade, and coloring It a vivid red, he next day, accompanied till brother to a sale, and ths red bever age made Its debut under ths name of "strawberry lemonade." It scored an In stant hit Several days later ths Great London Cir cus came m Easton, and Walter pitched his stand of candy, peanuts, cake and pink lemonade (for the red was fading as the profits grew), as nsar the circus grounds as he possibly could. It was a warm day, and this, combined wtlh ths color of the wonderful new drink, swept across the pocketbooks of the multitude to the tune of 6S. The men who had the "candy and re freshment prlvlleges"wltb the circus paid ths proprietors of the letter 14,000 for the season. They were not slow In catching; onto Wajer's wonderful sales, snd they Ukd to find out how the latter gave his lemonade Its wonderful tempting color. They begged, cajoled and finally threatened him with violence If he would not tell. But a man who had faced death on the battle field of Gettysburg on the third day was not so easily frightened, and then they 'tried bribery, with no better success. Next day, with a wagon laden with a new sup ply of red lemonade and other stuff, Mr. Walter followed the circus and pitched his tent near the show grounds, as ho had done tha day before, and ths ruby-colored drink flowed In streams. Next year, In 1068, Walter, with his pink lemonade, secured the refreshment prfv liases for Ben Gardner's circus for tl loo I a season, snd then his real circa career J began, and continued tor sixteen years. and within that span of years he saw tha evolution of the circus from the hoof and ths axle to the monster railway trains. A genial, modest and retiring man la Mr, Walter, and it does not taks long to learn that he "saw ths world and mingled with many men as one of them." Philadelphia Record. SEVEN FEETTALL AT 24 H ansa a Skyscraper of Keataeky Hikes for tho Moastsls for His Health. Seven feet tall, si years old and still growing. This Is the striking condition of John 8. Porteous, of Paducah, Ky., who is In Colorado for bis health. "In Kentucky they call me tha human skyscraper." be said. Hs towsrs so high above the rest of humanity that the ap pellation is well applied. Hs carried off ths prise for ths tallest and thinnest man In ths Elks' parade during the convention, the next "highest man" being half an Inch shorter. Tha award was t&O, and tha equlv. alent, a handsome watch and fob, waa given Porteous. He has been living In tha west for a y year, and most of ths time was spent la Wyoming. His rapid growth and the occupation ha followed proved to be a combination that worked Injury to his health, and he Is now trying to reouperate from an attack of lung trouble. Porteous la' an expert granite and mar. bla eutter, and he ascribes tha breathing of ths dangerous dust at ths time he was, growing so rapidly as the cause of his lung affection. His father and mother are ordinary slxed persons and his father can stand under big arm with hat on. His father's relatives la Scotland are all tall and few of them are under six feet.
