Ho will bo Just ono man alone, upon whom somo hundreds of other con gressmen, democrats and republicans alike, will look rather curiously, an 1 against whom most of tlnsi other hundreds will bo arrayed moro or less strongly. Ho will bo put upon tho least Important committees, probably, and In tho lensMmportnnt plnccs In the committees; ho will bo largely Ignored In every other phnso of congressional activity. So Mr. Borgor's election Is not Im portant or interesting for what ho Is likely to do In congress.

Desiring n, bouse nnd grounds In the country, I scanned the newspapers till I found an advertisement of one that appeared to be what 1 wanted. Taking my little boy with me for company and to give 111 in n holiday, i went to the place, found the agent who lind the rental of the house and signified n de sire to look nt It. He drove mo to It and showed me through the premise. When 1 asked lilin the price he hemmed nnd said: "What do you wish to pay?" 1 named a price, about half wont I thought the place was worth, nnd win very much astonished that the figure was accepted. I resolved to remain In tho town near which the house was located to tnako Inquiries as to why It rented so cheap. At the hotel whero wc stopped while eating supper I engaged the land lord In conversation nnd told hltn thnt I bad come to look nt the Hand prem ises, as they were called, with n view to renting them. At tho mention of the place he cast n quick glance at ale, then busied himself nt n side table where the menta were served, as though he did not wish to continue tho tuibject. I did all 1 could to draw him out, but failed Blgunlly. After BUpper, taking my boy with me, I went to n garden decorated with Chi- ncso lanterns und. seating myself tit n table, ordered u glass of wine. A man sat nt tho baine table, and I nddrcsxed ti Iii) : "Do you reside In this town. Hlr?" "I do." hu replied. "Do you know nnythlng about the Hand place'" I naked, looking nt lilm knowingly.

Of nil Gorman cities thnt havo mndo progress toward this high nnd to many quixotic goal, Mr. IIowo thinks Dussoldorf tho first. It Is a comparatively now city, its popula tion having grown from 00,000 in 1871 to 300,000 now. It Is an Indus trial city, but has drcamod dreams nnd dnred to carry them Into execu tion. It Is built for tho comfort and convenience of its peoplo, nnd bo llovcs In doing things for thorn. It owns Its ntreot railronds nnd n con trolling Interest in connecting Inter iirbnn roads; it owns Its hnrbors nnd docks, Its gns nnd olectrlc light nnd water plants, ovoi, its slaughter houses; It oporntes throo banking nnd loan ostnbllshmouts, nn opera Iioiibo, a museum nnd nn nrt gnllory; has public baths, ceinotorles nnd pawnshops.

So the next afternoon I went with my boy to the place, arriving there about B o'clock. We walked about tho grounds for a quarter of .an hour, when I said: "I wish there was somo ono hero of whom to ask somo questions about tho place" "Thero Is, pnpa. Perhaps the old gentleman over thero can tell you what you want to kuow." I started. I saw no one "That old man over thero pruning the hedge?" I asked in pretense. "He lsu't pruning It, pnpa; bo's cut ting it down with an nx." "Never mind, my boy. I think wo won't take the place after all. Your mother wouldn't like It." I took my sob by the band and led him away as quickly as he could walk. Now and again he turned his bend to look hack, remarking. "J wonder why he wishes to detroy so well grown a hedge," or.
