Perhaps the mus:, Interesting per
lonallty In the present senate Is Thorn-
is P. Gore, the blind senator from Ok
ahoma. Doubled up In his square
irmed chair, the figure Is that of i
'at, pudgy boy with a round bullet
head, of which the drawn, contracted
irows, the long straight, prominent
lose and the thick Hps are the most
lonspicuous features. When, with
i thick hickory cane firmly gripped
n the right hand and thrust forward
the figure straightens up, long-hipped.
and very erect.
The head (a always lifted and

i way while sitting, of holding his
.'ace on a line with the action for the
moment commanding attention for
Instance, that of a senator speaking or
the clerk reading. With his cane In
its right hand, his left drums on the

f snapping the thumb and fingers
f his left hand. During his first few
'ays in the senate alert page boys tool,

The boyish-looking Oklahoma sen
itor he Is In the early fort 1-8 ha:
me characteristic unusual In bllnti
Persons. He addresses with accurate
nodulatlon of voice the peraon ti
hom he Is speaking. Most bllni'
ticn and women experience great dlf
'Iculty In "getting the range" of th
person they are addressing, and fre-
liiently speak either ot the'rlght or
eft of him.
Thus far the blind senator has not

tcaUIng in the ntmopphcrp."
When ready he Is expected to con
tribute one of the spectacular speechen
of t!:e session, because he Is a strong,
virile speaker, a fine elocutionist of
tho rough and ready sort, quick at
repartee and with an amazing com
mand of words.
Mr. Gore has been in his seat the
full length of every aeaslon sines ha

whose election she contributed more
than any one else. The senator him
self calls her "his eyes and right

parliamentary law and politics than
uny other woman in the country. She
accompanies him to the senate and
lakes him away at tho close of the

Tomorrow Evening1.
The regular change of program will
take place tomorrow evening. ' The
numbers are all good, but the one
which will create the greatest Interest
Is the "Clever Detective." This tells
the story of the kidnapping of a little
jlrl and the clever work and hair
breadth escapes of the detective, who
Inally, with the aid of the child. Is
ible to rescue her from the outlaws
tnd return her safe to her distracted
parents. The comic numbers are truly
un-makers, especially the one which
s entitled "Between Two Fires." The
Tired Tailor's Dream" is a mechanl
al wonder. The tailor had an order
or a suit for a really bad man, who
promised something rich If the gar-
nents were not ready for him at a
ertaln time. The tailor dreamed that
he various implements of his craft
uiddenly became animated and o.
their own free will set to work to make
he suit.
