When Robert Mantell, .the ; actor, was in Portland, two weeks ago, he presented , tho play "Julius Caesar." in the very opening scene two sen ators give an illustration of their Idea of their office." They meet a crowd of workingmen on the Btreet, and com mand them to get back to their trades, : and exchange their holiday garments for the leather aprons of their 'crafts. A senator those days didn't think much of the people. A Roman senator didn't have to live .in the district that paid him'. He was not required to know the people who supported him. He scorned his con stituency, and knew no more of them than that they promptly and plenti fully furnished .him with, money. He Spent the money for his own aggran dizement, and never gave an account ing. . That would have been belittling to the dignity of a senator.' ' Here In America we don't approve of a Benator who Ignores the -people. Oregon doesn't indorse a senator who has the Roman idea of his office, and the aristocrat's estimate of the peo ple.

The people of Oregon want a sen ator who knows the people, and who believes; In, them; who is interested in them, and proves his position by making himself one of them. Oregon wants a senator who recognizes man hood even In working clothes; who doesn't demand that his fellow citi zens put on evening dress before they will be permitted to shake hands with him; who concedes the just demands) of labor, and . would put the lightest burden on the shoulders least able to carry it. Oregon men and women want Ben Selling to be their senator at Wash ington. They have tried the Roman aristocrat, non-resideht type, and they don't like-It, The manhood of the state is for Selling. Tho Zeitung. Will Win In a Walk. ' It is beginning to look like an easy ride for Ben Selling to the United States Senate. Formerly there was no telling what tlie legislature would do, but. now it is"a pretty certain thing that it will follow the wishes of the people.

It la found In the tropical and subtropical eones of both tho eastern and western hemispheres. Some of the tropical spe cies are of enormous size and measure from twelve to fifteen feet In length with swords at least three feet long. The sword Is much the shape of a cone somewhat flattened, the end sharply pointed. It is smooth on the top nnd sides, but the under part Is rough. It Is really an elongation of the bones of the upper Jaw nnd is pos- j.ff9sed of very reat strength, for with those weapons they have been known to pierce the copper sheathing of ves sels and heavy plates and timbers, but, although they can drive the sword far Into these substances," they cannot draw them out, so break them off and swim away without them A large fin extends nearly the length of the back of the creature, which Is folded back when the fish is swim mlng in order that its progress may not bo Impeded if speed Is desired, but wneu quietly swimming it Is often erected and acts as a sail to carry it through the water. The swordflsh is very aggressive in its disposition and will often assail fish much larger than itself. Even the whale 1b not exempt from its attacks. ; The food of tho swordflsh - consists of smaller . fish, which it kills by stabbing them with its sword. There Is quite a large busi ness done in swordfishing, as the flesh is used for food. The larger specie are caught by harpooning, the smullet in nets. . Back In the Good Old Bowl Days. A man of apparent mentis brought two boys Into a barber Blinp for a hair cut. While waltinj for tho completion of tlie job, he said: "I never sat In a barber's chair when I was a kid.- My brother n:-'ed to go over to the enirliie Imxibo and borrew the horse clipper. Then my mother would put a bowl on my ln-ad and cut around It 1'iitll I was twelve years old, I always looked' ..ilka, n window washer' hriwh." Chicago Post. Tha Dead Rovived.
