X THE OMAHA SUNDAY REE: SEPTEMHEI. S. 1JK)7. (5 A PILLAR OF THE OLD SCHOOL Characteristic Anecdotes About Ala bama's Old-Fashioned Senator. ROMANCE OF HIS TOUTHFU1 DAYS nw lit? Casae) e Ran for the eaate Friendship of Pettas and Mor fn iffow Eirtp from Ifamorlst's Repatatlon. A life of four score snd six years, em bracing momentous epochs In American history, an argonaut In '40, a fighting cham pion of the Ixist Causa, and chosen United gtstea Senator at the sge of 75 these form the framework of the biography of the lata Edmund Winston Pettus of Alabama. For yere ha wit one of the moat tnteest trg figures tn the United States senate. Me was homespun' and old-fashioned, a man of plain and homely pech, without oratorical flourishes, but with the knack of t getting easily and quickly In the heart of a Question. He spoke with a quaint, high pitched drawl, drawing his metaphors and similes from the scriptures and always ' balding the attention of the senate. When ever he arose to apeak It was like the sudden opening of a forgntten page In American hlatory. Many entertaining anecdotes are tnld of Senator Pettus. He told this one of him self: "When I was a boy down In Alabama the hunting and fishing were still prime and I waa very fond of my rod, my dng and my gun much fonder of them than of my books. I didn't like going to school and played hookey frequently to go fish ing or hunting. When I was about 17 I fell deeply In love with the daughter of a neighbor. One day I went to her house to e her and found her on the eallery water ing violets. Her sunbonnet was hanging by Its strings down her back, and the sun light fell on her pretty face and shining hair and she looked very lovely. I stood and looked up at her and I just couldn't help plumping right out the question: "Mary, I said, 'will you marry me?' " 'You go Wong,' she answered. "Who'd marry any one as Ignorant as you are? Tou won't go to school, but spend all your time hunting and" fishing.' "I was ashamed and heartbroken," the senator continued, "and I answered not a word. I knew Mary was right. I didn't miss another day from school that term and the next fall I went away to Clinton college, up In Tennessee, where I spent four iwni. su wijs umv a Kept away irom my sweetheart. But when I returned from Hol iest I knew a llttlo Greek and Latin and other things and thla encouraged me to go to see Mary again. I found her again on the gallery and I stood as I had stood be fore looking up at her from the ground. 'Mary,' I said, 'I've ben to school and I'm not as Ignorant as I used to be.' Well, 'Mary,' I Bald, 'I've been to srhool and I'm but I knew It was all right. We were mar ried the next year." They lived together In the greatest af fection and happiness until the death of Mrs. Pettus less than a year ago.' After tho War. After the war he and another young lawyer settled down to practice law at Belma. They were miserably poor and a fee of 1109 seemed like a fortune. But somehow Pettus' partner got hold of a very Important claim case for a northern concern and won It. They received the tremendous fee of $15,000. When Pettus got his share of it he looked at the Im mense sum of money dubiously, and re ' marked to his partner, "Well, this will rtainly keep us -out of the poor house, vut how about the penitentiary?" He ' couldn't make, himself feel It was honest to make so much money In so short a time. He was very fond of a quiet game of poker. A few years ago he spent the sum mer at Tate Springs, Tenn. One day a friend met him walking away from the hotel, and asked him where he was ' go ing. "I'm going to that little white building among the trees over there," the senator answered, pointing to the only gambling place In town. Inmates of the A RIB, Aug. J2.

It Is a great, dreary build in, this St. Lasaro. but no one seems to feel any sense of Its gloom or pathos.

"Eut, General," said his friend, "you know that place Is run by two of the worst card sharps In Memphis." "Yes, I know," grumbled the senator, "but there Is no place else to play." He would rather take the chance of being cheated than forego his little game. Breaking Into Office. He waa 75 years old when he first went to Washington, and SI when he was re-lelected tn V-n. At that time the legislature un animously set aside a law as old as the state, which requires that a senator-elect shall appear In person to accept his election. The s'.ory of how he at last came to ac cept political office Is probably apouhryphat. but Is so characteristic that It ought to be true. It Is said, and widely believed, that In 1S!H he desired and appointment to tho federal bench In Alabama and asked the support of his senator, James l Pugh. "Why, Pettus," Pugh Is stated to have said, "what put Into your head this notion of running for office? Tou are altogether too old. We want young men on the bench." "Well, I may not be young enough for the bench, but I'm not too old to go to the senate," Mr. Pettus Is said to have replied. Whether the Incident occurred as nar rated, or not, in three years the aged lawyer was occupying Senator Push's seat In the upper house. Characteristic Chivalry. Senator Pettus was a chivalrous old souL The senators have an elevator set aside for their own use. Others entitled to privileges of the floor are permitted to use It, but when a senator touches the alarm button three times, no matter how many there may be In the car, It goes scooting to wait upon the senator. When there are persons other than senators to enter the car the others must stand back and wait while the senators enter. Then frequently the door Is slammed In their faces, so there may be no delay In getting the senator where he wishes to go. One day Senator Pettus was In the car when Senator Turner rang the bell. Ahead of Senator Turner and oblivious of his presence were a senate clerk and his wife. The little lady, exercising the privilege of he"r sex and being the nearest to the ele vator door, undertook to step into the car. "Senators first,", said the elevator con ductor, thrusting the little woman back to allow Senator Turner to pass In ahead of her. Turner was so absorbed In conversa tion that he did not notice the rudeness and stopped Into the car. Senator Pettus, away back In the corner of the car, how ever, did notice It and he commented on It sot to voce, he probably Intended, but loud enough to be beard. Including a cuss word or two. "Blank, blank It," growled the gallant Alabama senator, "that iBn't decent to make a woman stand back for any man." Senator Turner heard the growl which set the steel car vibrating, and when he re alized what had been done he bowed to the woman and apologized. A Shot at Beverldge. Senator Pettus nearly became the humor ist of the senate. He escaped that doubtful distinction only by strong self-control. Everybody remembers how he squelched Senator Beverldge when the Indiana sen ator made his resounding speech on the Philippines. "We had a wonderful declamation yester day from our great orator wonderful," drawled Senator Pettus the next day after Beveridge's effort. "It was marvelous In all Its parts. It was so marvelous that I dare say such a thing has never before been heard of In the senate of the United States. When you get a genuine orator he Is absolutely absolved from all rules of logic or common sense. (Laughter.) When It Is necessary. In the ferver of oratorical flourishes, to prove any proposition, true or false, rules of common sense and the decent observance of what Is due to others must not stand In the way of maintaining my reputation as a great orator. The senate rocked with laushter. Pettus, wagging his chin whiskers, chewing tobacca as he spoke, and occasionally mopping his big head with a red bandanna, was Irresis tible. Senator Pettus himself was almost scared at what he had done, but he had made up his mind years before that repu tation made by fun making could not lead to solid success, and he seldom afforded the senate such an opportunity for mirth as on the occasion of his reply to Bever ldge. Senator Pettus was always a champion Parisian Prison for Women LAZARH THE WOMEN'S PRISON IX clothes of the prisoners.

When he presided he handled the senate as a schoolmaster conducts his school. Old-Time Friends. Senators Morgan and Fetf.is were friends from boyhood and furnished the only case of a state having senators, both residents of the same city. The fact that ho was from Selma was urged against Mr. Pettus when he became a candidate, but tho fact did not weigh against him. During the last four cr five years the time In warning each other to be careful of their health. Morgan always Insisted that his colleague should consult the doc tors, for whom he had little respect Some thing over a year ago Senator Pettus, working hard on a law case, was attacked by vertigo. His sons told him they were going to call a doctor. He assented, but stipulated that there must not be more than one. "You're sure there Is only one of you?" said the senator after he had got Into the carriage with the doctor. The doctor, evi dently thinking the senator desired to say something confidential, solemnly assured blm they were alone. "Well, I'm mighty glad of that," said the senator with a sigh of relief. "I'm sure I'll get well If there Is only one of you. I never could survive a consultation." Persons who knew them best said that really they bad few things In common ex cept a fondness for chewing tobacco. They were the only democrats In the senate who voted against the railroad rate bill. Sena tor Mcngan had announced his position publicly, so when Fettua also voted "No" many thought be was following Morp-an's lead. Tet It was said that he had arrived at his own conclusion by an entirely dif ferent road. "These two old fellows are against ratt regulation because It vlolatts the confed erate constitution," said a Capitol wit when the vote was taken. Senator Pettus' last speech In the senate, In which he had to till that his colleague was seriously in and might not be able to again attend to his duties, contained a eulogy for his lifelong friend and colleague.

Ellery's gTeat bandof Chicago will open the season at the Auditorium on Monday evening, September 23, and continue In daily concerts for one week. . On the opening night the entire house has been taken by the Masonic fraternity, as a part of their semi-centennial celebration, so that no tickets will be sold for that night. The general puhllo will be accommodated during the other six days of the week, both afternoon and evening, at very reason able prices, and the series of programs, Mr. Ellery promises to present, will undoubtedly surpass anything In the line of band music that Omaha people have heard for years. Beginning on Monday, September M, Gregory's great spectacular display, "The Fall of Jericho," will be put on at the local ball park under direction of William A. Kourke, who will manage the show for the Woodmen of the World. It Is for the benefit of the latter organization and will be given under Its auspices. The show itself Is a combination of drama, extrava ganza and fireworks. Three hundred peo ple are needed for Its presentation, and a complete set of scenes illuminating Inci dents connected with the famous siege of Jericho by the Jews under Joshua make up the show. It concludes with a mag nificent display of fireworks, the whole combining Into one of the most enjoyable outdoor productions ever offered. Per formances will be given each evening dur ing the week. PARIS. who threw vltrol at a faithless lover not long ago. "Yes.'" she says In speaking of It, "I am sure he will lose an eye, though I only meant to burn his neck. I never do have any luck." The other girl Is a tall brunette from the Midi, who has been here four times for theft. She stole first because her little boy cried with hunger. That sent her to Ft. Lasare for two months. After that work was even more difficult to get. One doesn't cpme out of St. Lazare with a spotless reputation. When asked what she will do when she has served hr terra this time, she replies with a bright smile: "Ob, Til have to go to Italy or some place far away from Paris now. I'd work If I could, really; Td be a faithful and devoted domestic If someone would only pay me M francs a month. Bat na one wQl, so I'll hsvo to go on stealing. One must live, yu know." And the nun sitting by nods sym pathetically. Saturday Is a holiday and each girl is al lowed to take a book from the library. So they pore assiduously over "The History of Prance" and "The History of Civilisa tion" or literature of that class, for fiction is not permitted In St. Latare. One leaves the prison with sympathy In one's heart, but not depression. How can one be depressed In the fare of such child like enjoyment and calm resignation to In evitable circumstances? It Is not when they go Into this prison thst they leave all hope behind; It Is more likely to be when they go out Into tha world again. WATERED STOCK IN FOOD Every Art lele of Dirt Ceatalne at Largo 1'roportloa of Aimu Flnld. How much a pound do you pay Tor water T Not what you draw from the faucet, dear madam, but the water you buy at tha market. Tou don't buy water at market, say youT Indeed, you are mistaken. Tou purchase It there every week In considerable quanti ties, and the price you pay for It Is well nigh staggering. For Instance, yon go to market and buy a porterhouse cut that weighs two pounds; that Is to say, when the butoher puts It on his scales It looks as though you were getting two pounds of steak. It never oc curs to you to reflect that the meat and bona contain, scattered through their tis sues, no less than two tumberfuls of plain, ordinary water. In other words, slightly more thsn half of the steak is water, which at S cents a pound la a good deal to pay for such a commodity. But, whatever you may choose to purchase, you are up against the same fluid proposition. Tou buy a six-pound leg of mutton and tha market man carges In cidentally at the regular rate for three pints of water which It contains. If you pick out a chicken for roasting that weighs two pounds and a half. It holds one pint of water. A ten-pound turkey contains two quarts. It Is much the same way with fish. A six pound shad contains just about a quart of water; but the roe. taken by Itself. Is less than one-third solid matter. A lobster Is nearly one-third water, and when you buy a quart of oysters and take them home in a pall almost nine-tenths of what the can contains Is water.' The average flsh that lies dressed on the stall in the market la about slx-tehths water, and even a salt cod, which looks as if It were one of the dry est things In the world, holds a pint of water for every two pounds of meat. If, In view of these facts, you look for foods that contain least water, you will find that nuts answer the description. Chestnuts, It Is true, are nearly one-third water, but black walnuts, English walnuts and butternuts contain only 1 per cent or less of water, while pecans, hickory nuts, Braill nuts and almonds run from 1", to S per cent. Peanuts are 7 per cent water. However, they are not really nuts, but a kind of pea. Next to nuts the dryeat food In the world seems to be oyster crackers. Anybody may prove It to his own satisfaction by trying to chew and swallow a dozen of these little biscuits, without taking anything to drink Incidentally, Inside of Ave minutes. The re sult will be Ignominious failure. Indeed, thus consumed they sre like so much Dead sea fruit, becoming literally nonswallow able. Let us suppose that you Invest your good money in eggs; It Is not likely to make you better satisfied If you know that the dozen "strictly fresh" ones, for which you pay 30 cents, contain nearly a pint of plain water. But milk Is worse, being 87 per cent water; while even the butter, which Is comparatively water free, holds 11 per cent of the fluid. Cream cheese Is three-fourths water. A pound ldaf of good wheat bread, de livered by the baker at your door, contains about two-thirds of a tumberful of water. But when it comes to fresh vegetables the trouble becomes gTeatly aggravated, inas much as only a small percentage of them Is solid substance. Tomatoes, for Instance, are 4 per cent water, spinach 93 per cent, lettuce SI per cent, string beans 83 per cent, cucumbers 81 per cent, shelled peas 78 per cent, cabbage 77 per cent, sweet corn off the cob 76 per cent and beets 70 per cent. Potatoes and turnips are not so bad; they are only about two-thirds water. When fruits are considered It appears that apples and oranges have the same per centage of water as potatoes, while pears run up to 76 per cent and strawberries to 85 per cent It seems surprising that an apple and an orange of equal size should hold Just the same quantity of mater, but It should be remembered that the skins are counted In, and there la a lot of fiber In an orange.

But tha fact la that, ow ing to the great thickness of the rind and to the quantity of fiber Composing the pulp, tha watermelon, takes as a whole, is rela tively dry, being only a little mora than one-third water. Another dry fruit, com paratively speaking, Is the banana, which Is a trifle less than one-half water. In an ordinary "hand' of thirteen or fourteen bananas, such as you buy from the Italian render who comes to the door, there., is about a quart of ths same expensive fluid. To sum up, It appears that a very large proportion certainly a good deal mora than half and probably as much as two-thirds of the money which you spend tor food supplies Is devoted, whether yon are will ing or not, to the purchase of water. That such should be tha case seems regrettable there Is consolation to be drawn from the In these days when living Is so high, but reflection that the water helps materially In rendering tha food digestible.

Early Struggles of Mansfield (Continued from Page One.) Belasoo, the sage manager, appeared in front of the scene, holding up his hand to secure attention. "When the curtain rises," said Mr. Bel asco, "there will be a round of applause. It will not be necessary for you to ac knowledge It; It will be for the scenery." Mansfield was a Wonderful mimic. With the exception of Nat Goodwin, no one In his time could equal him In his Imitation of vocal peculiarities, but he disliked to exhibit his mimicry on the stage, believing It to be a part of the stock in trade of an actor, which should be used sparingly. Nevertheless, all who knew him can tell some very funny stories of the effects of his mimetic gift. He would frequently bring It Into an argument; as, for Instance, once at a private supper, he was arguing thst the English and American critics are apt to accord too high praise to a for eign actor because they do not appreciate the superiority of the French and Italian languages In dramatic use. In his argu ment, by way of Illustration, he trans formed himself Into Sarah Bernhardt, now Into Ludwlg Barnay, and now Tomaso Sal vlnl. It was while he waa Salvlnl, deliver ing a tirade of the choicest Italian, that the serving maid entered the room with a full tray, which. In her astonishment, she dropped. $ One of the habits which Mr. Mansfield had, and an odd one for these times, was letter writing. Ha waa very fond of writ ing long letters to his friends, in which he poured out his feelings and recorded the impressions of the moment. All who know him well must have many of these letters written by him In that clear, strong hand with all his I s dotted and t's crossed, and In the best of English, with an occa sional apt French or German phrase for good measure. It cannot be said of him that he wrote the story of his life In his correspondence; but a collection of his letters for a term of years would be a splendid record of his changing moods. Many a column of stories of Mansfield will now get Into print, and probably most of them have been told before. One of the best of his yarns concerned his early experiment with Richard In London. He was very anxious to have Irving see the performance, and tell him what he thought of It, and one night, sure enough, the great man came to the Gtobe, and after the play was ushered behind the scenes. He entered Mansfield's dressing room, and the young actor waited patiently to hear his first utterance. Irving looked him up and down, and then asked, "Do you sweat T" Another good story he told at his own expense concerns the first performance of "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" In Boston In tlte spring of 1887. He devoted the first fortnight of that engagement at the Mu- Your Choice Cr-lAntiAs 4wnswM..aSs. !. - 2 J 1 .
