t 4 CBfCER SIDE OF PUBLIC LIFE Reminiscence, of Notables Related by Adlai Stevenson. y SELECTIONS FROM LARGE STOCK Poblle Men of o,fc n.y. R(pJJ I br Characteristic) Incidents, from Flashing; Hit to dcorch. n I roar. Almost fifty of the sevsnty-four years 'panning tha life of Hon. Adlal Kwlng Stwenson of Illinois hava been apent In public activities, and manw of tham In Public office. Ma ai a master In chan eery at 25, later a district attorney, then a member of congress, chief hesdsman In the Postofflce department during Cleveland's first torm, vice president of the United States during Cleveland's sec ond term, and Bryan's running mats In tl 1W0 campaign. Neeesparlly he nibbed elbows with all classes of public men and acquired a store of Intimate anecdotes and Incidents which are entertainingly told In "Something of Men I Have Known," a work written by Mr. Stevenson and pub llMhed by A. C. McClurg & Co. of Chicago. Mhny of the reminiscences bear an orig inal label, some exhale the atmosphere of the newspaper morgue, but all are In vested with the personal relation and a note of friendliness throughout. A few speclments follow. Illalae's Mnrprlse. As a member of the Forty-fourth con ere!" Mr. Stevenson thus first met James G. Ulalnei My seat was Just across the aisle from Dint of Mr. Blaine. "When Introduced 1 handed hi in letters of Introduction from two of his college classmates, the Hon. Hubert E. Williams and the Rev. John V. Calhoun. After reading the letters and speaking most kindly of his old Wushlng A ion college classmates he brusquely ln- juireo, - what are John Y. Calhoun's poli tics ?" I answered, "He Is a democrat." Blaine Instantly replied: "Well, how strangely things do come around In this world. When we were In college together Calhoun whs the strongest kind of a I'lfHbyterlun." i 1 I nil mj ted that his sometime clatsmatn was still of that eminently respectable persuasion. The reply was. In a manner . Indicating apparent surprise: "Is It pos r 'slblo that out In your country a man can be a Presbyterian and a democrat at the name time?" Traits of W. R. Morrison. Speaking of the late William R. Mor rison, familiarly known as Horizontal Hill because of the tariff bill he advo cated, Mr. Stevenson nays: His personal friendships and antagon Imius were well known. It Is related of him that during a serious illness, appre hending that the dread messenger was In near waiting. arouning himself to what appeared to he a last effort he said In t-carcely audible tones to a sorrowing col logue at his bedside: "I supposo when this Is all over they will have something to say about me, as Is the custom In the house. Well. If Springer and Cox and Knott and Stevenson want to talk let them go ahead, but If old Spears tries to peak Just cough him down." And this: Never in any political gathering has there been a more effective speech, of a single sentence, than that in which Colonel Morrison presented to the demo cratic caucus of the house members the name of the blind preacher for chaplain. Three or four candidates were already In nomination when Morrison arose artd said: "Mr. Chairman. I present for the office of chaplain of the house the name of Dr. Milburn, a man who loves Oort. pays his debts, arnl votes the democratic ticket." Before the applause that followed had en tirely died awny the names of his com petitors were withdrawn, and the blind Treacher was nominated by acclamation. Two A boot Blackburn. Mr. Stevenson gives these two anecdotes of J. S. C. Blackburn, the honey-tongued orator of Kentucky: 4 t'pon the ocension of the retirement of 'the Rev. Dr. Butler from the chaplaincy of the senate ft position he had filled most acceptably for many years many of the senators spoke regretfully of his retire ment. The speech of Mr. Rlackburn, for beauty of expression and pathetic elo oiK'ticc, wan unrivalled, lie spoke most tenderly of the venerable man o( God; how for long years he had gone in and out before us; of ht dally "walk and con versation; how, like the Blessed Master, ?k' onljt thought was of doing good; of how 1. had often Invoked the Divine blessing upon us and our loved ones, and lifted us, hi It were, In His arms up to the very throne of grace. The orator seemed In spired, ns though his lips were Indeed m pouched with a live coal from the altar. . Tho counterpart of the scene that fol- lowed his closing words had never been witnessed In legislative assembly. All were in tears. It was even said that venerable senators, who had never shed a tear since the ratification of the treaty of Ghent, actually sobbed aloud and refused to be comforted. At length, amid silence that could be felt, an adjournment was effected md the senators passed sadly ont to their homes. As he passed tha chair, Senator Vest, In an undertone remarked to the vice president, "Jo never saw him!" The next day. In the absence of his suc cessor, "the blind chaplain," Dr. Butler again and for the last time officiated, sim ply repeating In a manner must solemn and impressive, the Lord's Prayer. At Its conclusion. Senator Blackburn, who had been a most attentive listened. Came for ward to the desk and remarked to Vice President Stevenson; "I tell you, sir, I like that new chaplain of ours. What a splendid prater! There something original about that man." aupalanlBa" at a II a as; lag. Thirty years and more ago, when first a candidate for congress'. Mr. Blackburn attended , a publio execution. In common puiiance "a hanging," In one of the coun ties of his district. Being a gentleman if great distinction and a candidate for con Kress, be was appropriately Invited by the sheriff to occupy a seat with the prisoner and his spiritual adviser upon the gallows. t the near approach of the fatal hour the T; erlff, with watch. In hand, amid the sea oi upturned faces, stated to the prisoner tl at he had yet five minutes to live and It was his privilege, if he so desired, to ad diets the audience. The prisoner meekly rplled that he did not wish to speak w hereupon air. Blackburn, stepping promptly to the front of the scaffold, said: "As the gentleman does not wish to speak. If he will kindly yield me his time, I will take this occasion to remark that I aiu a candidate for congress, regularly nominated by the democratic convention," etc. This incident being told In the proseno of Mr. Marshall, the opposing candidate, the latter remarked that he remembered It well and could vouch for Its truth. He then added that when Mr. Blackburn pro- , posed to speak out the pi-Wooer's time the latter turned to the sheriff and Inquired f who that was. To which the officer re plied "Captain Blackburn." At this the prfttj'iar, who had amid ail the exciting si of his arrest and trial and even up to the preeont moment, with his open oof flu beside him. displayed marvellous fortitude. iCdeuly exhibiting des motion, plteeual) exclaimed. "Please hang me first and let him speak afterwards." Of Judge Holman of Tndlana, known In Congress as "the great objector," Mr. BteT enson writes: It has been said that even great men have their little weaknesses. An Incident to be related will show that possibly Judge Holman was no exception to that rule. The consideration of sundry bills for the erection of postofflce buildings In a num ber of districts having "gone over" by rea son of his objection, the members having the bills In charge. Joined forces and lumped the several measures Into an "om nibus bill." which was duly presented. The members especially Interested In Its pas sage, to make assurances doubly sure, had quietly Inserted a provision for the erec tion of a government bulldltjg In one of the cltlec of Holman'a district. When the bill was read. Judge Holman. as he sat busily writing at his desk, was. without solicitation on his part, the closely observed of every member. Apparently ob livious, however, to all that was occurring, he continued to write. No objection being made, he bill was In the very act of passing, when an exceedingly bright mem ber from Wisconsin, "being moved snd In stigated by the devil," no doubt, rushed to the front and exclaimed: "Mr. Speaker, I desire to call the atten tion of the gentleman from the Fourth dis trict of Indiana to the fact that the treas ury Is being robbed!" Unmoved by the appeal the Judge continued to write, snd, as one of his colleagues afterward re marked, "was chewing tobacco very fine." After a moment of suspense and amid ap plause, In whch even the galleries took part, the member from Wisconsin in tragic tones exclaimed: "Ah! Mr. Speaker, our watchdog of the treasury, like all other good watchdogs, never barks when his friends are around!" A Convention Incident. "Has there ever?" asked Mr. Stevenson, speaking of former Representative James A. MeKenzle of Kentucky, "been a more telling two-minute speech than that of MeKenzle In the national convention of 1S'2, when he arose to second the nomina tion of Cleveland?" After a night of Intense excitement, the convention was still in ses sion at 3 o'clock- In the morning. A storm was raging without, while within thous ands In the great hall were Impatiently and loudly demanding an Immediate vote. More than one of the chief orators of the party men well known to the country had In vain attempted to be heard. Chaos seemed to have come again at the crucial moment that MeKenzle, standing upon his chair In the center enclosure, began: If I speak longer than two minutes I I hope that some honest, half drowned aemocrat will suspend my carcass from one or the crossbeams of this highly ar tistic, but terribly leaky auditorium. Cleveland needs no nomination from this convention. He has already been nominated by the people all along the line all the way from Hell Gate to Yuba Dam!" Donnelly Hushed. Mr. Stevenson relates how Ingatlus Don nelly of Minnesota, a member of congress at the time of the Shakespeare-Bacon con troversy, met the famous Colonel Winter- smith on Pennsylvania avenue. After a cordial greeting the colonel re marked, "I have been reading your book, Donnelly, and I don't believe a word of it." "What?" Inquired Donnelly, with great surprise. "Oh, that book of yours," said the colonel, "In which you tried to prove that Shake speare never wrote 'Hamlet' and 'Macbeth' and "Lear' and all those other plays." Jiy dear sir." replied Donnellv with great earnestness, "I can prove beyond si) peradventure that Shakespeare never wrote those plays. He did," replied Wlntersmith. "he did write them. Donnelly. I saw him wrtte three or four of them myself!" "Impossible!" exclaimed Donnelly, who was as guiltless of anything that savored of humor as the monument recently erected to the memory of the Hon. John Sherman. "Impossible, colonel, that you could have seen Shakespeare write those plays; they were written 300 years ago." "Three hundred years, three hundred years," slowly murmured the colonel In a pathetic tone, "Is It possible that It has been so long? Lord, how time does fly!" "Sweet Alice, Ben Bolt." A touching scene accurred in the house of representatives a number of years ago when an aged member from New Jersey arose and for the first time addressed the speaker. All eyes were turned In the Bpeaker. All eyes were turned In his direction as he stood calmly awaiting recognition. He was tall, spare and erect. His venerable appearance and kindly ex pression coupled with most courteous man ners at once commanded attention. As In husky tones he again said, "Mr. Speaker!" there came from the furthest end of the great hall In a whisper, but distinctly heard by all, the words, "Sweet Alice, Ben Bolt." A moment later and from the floor and gallery many voices blended in the familiar refrain. "Don't you remember sweet Alice, Ben Bolt?" The ovation which ImmedlaUey followed was such as Is rarely witnessed In the great hall. Business was suspended for the moment and the hand of the new member warmly grasped by the chosen representa tives of all parties and sections. It was an Inspiring tribute, one worthily bestowed. The member was Thomas Dunn English, author of the little poem, sung In palace and cottage, which has found Its way Into all languages and touched all hearts. PRATTLE OF THE YOUNGSTERS.

The teacher blushed painfully, ' but thought that she would try again. "You can't have understood me, Johnnie. Now listen and I will repeat the question.

PORTERS HAVE LITERATURE Is Holland tiennlne or Merely Product of an Industrious Tonrlst A gent t Search for Maalnt at Mar ken and Volendam. The question whether or not Holland Is "framed up" for the American tourist is one as to which there is really no middle ground. One must either stand firmly by his conviction that Holland Is absolutely genuine or else battle valiantly for his be lief that the Holland the traveler sees la a product of the Industrious tourist sgTit, who, seeing the success of his business Jeoparded by the steady disappearance of the "quaint old Holland" dear to the traveler, has made systematic and It must be admitted skilful efforts to preserve such parts of it as most conveniently serve his purpose of personal character. Two American girls undertook a Eu- ropean trip last summer with the Intention of settling the vexed question once and forever. They had spent soul wearing evenings while their more traveled friends waxed bitter over the discussion and they had been bored to polite tears while the adherents of the two schools poured their arguments Into the indifferent ears. They found their topic of conversation so seri ously curtailed that the cost of a trip to Europe to decide the matter seemed a cheap price to pay for the restoration of their social prestige. Their approach to Holland was from the south. The landscape Interested them, but did not divert them from their purpose. Although they had never seen a flat green country guarded by dykes and dotted with windmills, they at least knew that they were gclng to see one. Hoar Carta Old Story. At Dordrecht and at Delft the canals interested them because they were Dutch canals, though for beauty and charm they did not compare with those left behind at Bruges, where the trees on the banks often met overhead and vines and flowers reached to the water itself and spread a mat of blossoms over Its sluggish surface. They refused to be excited by dogs draw ing low carts with shining brass milk cans they had too many post card pictures of such things to be stirred by the actuality and they refused to be excited by the gen eral shlnlness of windows, door knobs and door steps. They admitted, however, that only In Holland would one be apt to see the sidewalk In front of each house care fully railed In to prevent It being soiled by the feet of passersby. But these things, canals and cleanliness, were not what tbey had come to Holland for. They were admitted by every traveler. The field of controversy still lay before them. They did their duty by Rotterdam, by the pictures and the funny little palaces of The Hague, and by the galleries of Amsterdam. Once In Amsterdam the real' bone of con tention was so near at hand that not even tho galleries could hold them long. For Volendam and the island of Marken were but a few hours distant, and the answer to the question that had bothered them for years only awaited the departure of the boat next morning. Porters, Publicity Aarents. Even before they left the hotel they began taking evidence. They noted with what zeal the porter urged the tickets on them and how well supplied he was with literature, printed in every known language apparently, setting forth the points of the trip. On the drive to the boat they observxl the large number of places that offered the tickets for sale, and as they neared the water they saw no less than a dozen ex cursion steamers of various sizes starting at various hours, managed by various com panies, but each announcing with a large English sign that It supplied the very best and most comfortable way to reach the "quaint and characteristic" Volendam and Marken. "It certainly seems as though It were a profitable business," remarked the older sister Judicially as they Joined the crowd pushing on to their particular boat and looked about for seats. "There, I knew you would be prejudiced at the first," replied the younger slater, whose enthusiasms were rarely tempered by circumstances. "You must keep an open mind and not reach a decision until all the evidence Is In." The boat was crowed chiefly with Americana, with Just enough Germans, French and English to add gayety to the occasion. As the boat made several stops before It reached Marken, and as the American girls felt no stern sense of duty until they arrived there, they were able to enjoy their fellow travellers. The Girl From Missouri. Their first acquaintance was an American girl who added to her statement that she was from Missouri. "You may think that's a Joke, but it ain't."

Then she asked them If they wore black because thoy were In mourn ing or because It was cheap, and what they thought of Europe, and ended by assuring them that she was sure they were a dif ferent age from the looks. The refining effect of European travel became further Apparent w li n shortly after 10 o'clock a large German family com plaining to one another that they had had no food since an 8 o'clock breakfast, opened a huge hamper and began to eat all over one end of the boat and also over such excursionists as happened to be In their vicinity. So occupied were this family that they were unable to tear them selves away from th hamper to walk through the village where the boat stopped to permit Its passengers to visit a cheese factory. The arrival at Marken was enlivened by the efforts of a middle aged French man and his callow son to introduce the mother and the daughter of the party to leave the boat and walk about there. The women wore long trailing velvet dresses, enormously high heeled shoes, plumed hats and exactly three veils apiece. They had read novels steadily from the moment they got on the boat, and the discussion as to their leaving It Involved many details. A High Heeled French Girl. The girl finally permitted herself to be taken ashore on the condition that she be allowed to finish her novel without Interruption upon her return. The mother removed all her veils, powdered her face, replaced her veils, assured her family that no one but fools would be in such a place when they might have been at Trouville, and refused to budge from the chair she had taken earlier in the day. And so the American girls reached Marken. The wind swept the little Island enclosed with dykes, the low crowded up houses, the huddle of dark sailed fishing boats around tha wet, slippery landing were genuine enough and different enough to convince the most doubtful. A crowd of children awaited the trav elers and flocked In front and behind them as they started on their walk around the Island. Those who hadn't something to sell extended a ready palm. A shake of the head from the travelers brought forth a wide grin and the good American Idiom "Nothing doing." It was the sum total of Mai ken's knowledge of the Eng lish language and every child In Marken knew It. I "They certainly are used to Americans,'' said the elder sister thoughtfully. "Why shouldn't they be? I admit that 'bout 1,000,000 or so Americans come here every summer," replied the other girl, turning a suspicious glance on her sister, "but you must remember that theso people are singularly Impervious to outside In fluences. Because a lot of people wearing hats and carrying Baedekers walk past their door every day Is no reason to them why they should give up their caps and open a book store on the main street." "I seem to have heard that before," Interpolated the older one, which brought forth only the reply; "Please remember that we are not to decide this thing until the evidence Is all In." They made their way slowly up the little street peering Into doors that stood cordi ally open, delighting In the shining brasses, the polished dishes and the general spick and spanness of everything In sight. "Funny that everything is In such per fect order," mused the older sister. "You would think it would be cleaning day for at least one of them." "They are probably willing to get up be fore 9 o'clock In the morning," was the crushing reply that silenced her. The costumes of the women, with their thick cloth skirt worn over huge stuffed rolls around the hips; the straight tight brightly flowered bodlcos and the tight caps with the long blond curl escaping on either side, aroused the admiration of the younger sister, while the older one grew enthusiastic over the men with their full loose trousers held at the waist with two huge silver buttons, their tight Jackets and tiny caps. "And yet," she said, qualifying her en thusiastic admiration, "it is queer that none of thorn Is working. We haven't seen anyone at work In this place except tha people selling postcards." Stomach Ills of ihe Over-fat The fat man's stomach falls to burn up the food fats as happens In thin people. The result Is the fat gathers on quiet spots about the body, such as the hips, bust, neck, etc. To overcome this some think exercise Is the proper thing. But you can not exer cise your bust, can you? See, It Is absurd advice. Others try to starve the fat away and thereby still further Injure their digestion. There Is a simpler plan; one most pleasant and effective, too. Every meal you eat will make fat, won't It? To offset this take dally one tea spoonful after meals and at bedtime of this simple mixture: y, oz. Marmola, H oz. Fluid Extract Cascara Aromatic, and 3V4 oz. Peppermint Water. .This will make your stomach behave mid use up the food fats. It will also clean up the fat you already have; do It easily, with fair speed, say 8 to 10 ounoes a day, and bring you down lust where you want to be without causing wrinkles.
