I'.ee Six BLIND ORATORS IN NEW CONGRESS Similar Careers of Senator Gore and Representativo Schall. In tlie present congress there are two Wind men, one iu tlie senate. Senntor Thomas V. Gore of Oklahoma, nud one in tlie house of representatives, Thomas p. Srhnll of Minnesota. Senator Gore Is a Democrat, while Schall U a Pro gressive. The careers of the two men have remarkable similarities. I'otli lost their sight through accident. ftb had to struggle against poverty besides the handicap of blindness, both have won fame as orators, and both won their wives through the spell of oratory. Senator Gore lost his sight when eleven years old through au accident Photos by American Press Association. 8BNATOB OORB AMD BEFBESBNTATIVE BOHALL. Nevertheless he gained an education and graduated at the law by being read to. He never attended a school for the blind. He won a well merited reputation as a lawyer and was espe cially noted for his forensic ability. A forceful speech be made wlille cam paigning In Oklahoma won for him the wife who bus played so Important a part in his advancement In political life. She has been his eyes to blin in many ways. Today Senator Gore is one of the most popular orators In the country, and his power of concentra tion and reiuarkulilc memory make tiim a dangerous opponent In debute. Like Senator Gore. Itepresentative Schall dceudM largely upon his wife to be his eyes, tie was stricken with blindness In his young manhood through an accident. He was lighting a cigar from an electric lighter and re ceived a shock that seared out his eyes He was practicing law In Minneapolis and was married at the time. He first met his wife after an oratorical con test. In which he carried off the prize. He considers his real victory to be the mihseipiciit winning of his wife. His success iu his years of darkness has been phenomenal. This is his first term in congress, where lie has been preceded by a well earned reputation as a lawyer and orator. A DISTURBER OF TRAFFIC.

"Perhaps tho most Interesting thing about The Lady or the Tljer?' " Frank R. Stockton once said, "Is its great popularity among tho savage races. It has been told again and again by the story tellers of Burma. A missionary once told the story to a tribe of Ka rens iu Burma. Wheu she came back a year Inter the tribe surrounded her and wanted to know if she had found out whether I cannot answer the ques tion, for I have uo earthly ideu myself. I have never been able to decldo whether the lady or the tiger came out of that door, i'et I must defend my self. Teople for yeurs have upbraided me for leaving it a mystery. Some used to write mo that I had uo right to impose upon the good nature of the public in that manner. However, when I started in to write the story I in tended to finish it. Iitit it would never let Itself be finished. I could not de cide, nud to this day, I assure you, I know no better than miy one else." Christian Science Monitor. Drew Line at Indians. At a recent gathering of life Insur ance men one of the old timers exhib ited a copy of a permit which had been attached to n io!icy issued by tho Mutual Llfo iu 1803. This jiermlt read: "The within assured has permission to reside in any settled part of the states of California, Nevada, Oregon or Washington territory and while so residing to inako trips (as a passenger only) on first class steumers plying be tween tho ports of Washington terri tory, the states of California and Ore gon and the Sandwich Islands uud to proceed to und return in like manner, or by public conveyance overland. "Provided that written notice be given by the assured whenever any trip to the Sandwich Islands or to tile. Atlantic states is undertaken, to tho general agent of tho company at Suu Francisco, Cal., and provided also that on the overland route the said assured to take his own risk by death from hostile Indians." Wall Street Journal. Courage and Courtesy. It Is recorded of Geueral Sheridan that he was once asked who, In his opinion, was the most reliable of the corps commanders, and he unhesitat ingly answered, General Hancock. He said, "If I wunted a man to stay where I put him, If I located him at night and wanted to find him right there In the morning, I'd select Han cock." And then further Sheridan said: : . i "For genuine politeness and gentle regard for women Hancock was in comparable. If Mrs. Hancock came Into his room twenty times in half an hour be would always stand up." There Is a compliment Indeed. The bravest commander was the most courteous to women, and, what was best of all, be Included bis own wife among the objects of bis courtesy. That Is something many men forget they are courteous to all women ex cept to their own wives. Ohio State Journal. Original of Fa I staff. Sir John Fastolf was the original of Shakespeare's Fulstaff uud in his day was a continual butt for the Jests of the town nud borough of Southward. Though ho had fought at Agineourt wheu Jack Cade Invaded tho borough he showed great cowardice. When Cade was yet some way off Tastolf had armed und fortified his house and gar risoned it with veterans of the French wars. On the arrival of Cade, how. ever, he withdrew his garrison and tied to the Tower, leaving bis neighbors to the mercy of the rebels. Fastolf s mat rimonii adventures seem also to have beeu nuotber source of unpopularity, for, having married a widow named Scrope. he seized her property mid kept his stepson out of his inheritance dur ing his owu lifetime. Loudon News. Boiled Rosebuds. Although it Is little known in this country, Turkish women consider rose buds boiled lu sugar a luxury uot to bo missed. They claim that these make an excolleut preserve. In China a species of lily Is dried and used for seasoning ragouts and other dishes. This is looked upon as one of the choicest of native dishes. Many provinces of this same land grow lilies expressly for the purpose of marketing them iu -this couuectlon. They ure usually picked just previous to their opening and then cooked as ordinary vegetables. German and Spanish, It 1b Just about "nip and tuck" be tween those who speak German and those who speak Spanish, with the ad vantage somewhat on the side of the German. There are about 85.000,000 German speaking people in the world and about 82.000,000 speaking Spanish. New York American. Unfortunately Expressed.

The sight of a lady In a pink dress has caused him to lose the thread of bis argument iu u political speech. Robert E. Penry has his summer home on a small Island in Casco bay off tho coast of Mulue, and on a small adjoining Island, which he owns, be breeds Eskimo dogs. Dr. Wellington Koo, who has been appointed Chinese minister to this country, In succession to Kal Fu Shall was until bis appointment minister to Mexico, Peru and Cuba. Henry Bruero, whoso position may be called chief efficiency engineer of New York city, which spends $1IOO,000,- 000 a year, is a nntlve of Missouri, has devoted ten years to work of this na ture and is only thirty-three years of age. Admiral von Holtzeudorf, recently announced as the head of the German naval staff, Is former commander of tho German bigb seas fleet and one of the big men of the navy. Tho new chief of the naval staff, with his busby,, snow white beard, bis square thickset frame and his frank, positive manner, Is a typical sen dog. The Cookbook. To moke eggs stick to croquettes and other foods that are dipped in egg and crumbs, first dip tlie food in flour; then the egg will adhere very well. When making apple flout try baking the apples Instead of stewing them, The pulp Is removed from the skins and mixed with the whites of the egg which makes the float much lighter than the old way. Instead of frying your pork chops, try baking them. Suit them and place one on top of the other In a pan with about two cnpfuls of water. Cover with a tight lid. You cau bake eight In an hour, and they will be as tender as chicken. Fashion Frills. Skirts will be shorter in tbe spring, This has got to stop somewhere. Al bany . Knickerbocker-Press.

Train and Track. There were 137 railway laws passed In 1015 by state legislatures. In Glasgow If you ride on a trolley you pay a cent for any ordinary dis tance, while even the longest rides cost but 2 cents. One of tho lurgest English railways Is building a fireprooflng plant lu which to treat all of tho lumber used lu cars which will be constructed in future. To avoid discarding a number of four wheeled curs a street railway company in Virginia has Joined them together in pairs with a compartment between them that permits them to rouud curves. Waves of Water. The bottom of I.nke Mannpourl, New Zealand, Is 8lil feet below sea level. Its depUl Is 1,458 feet The Potomac river is only 500 miles long and In its lower course is rather nn estuary than a stream. The Seine is 470 miles in length and during tho lower part of its course fre quently attains a width of a mile. The longest und most important river in Central America is the Motagun, wblcb empties into the sea on the bor der line between Guatemala and Hon duras. BRIGHT BRIEFS. The more a man rests the more be rusts. Selfishness Is the worst Investment a man can make. There's many a slip 'twist the cup and the lip fortunately. He who disregards tbe rudder is pretty sure to suffer a wreck. Until some ono puts a spike In It a lie sounds Just as well as the truth. When tbe buyer understands his business tbe salesman has an easy time. One good turn deserves another, but unfortunately there is no such thing as perpetual motion. Probably the secret of happiness is to convert yesterday's disgust luto spir itual sunshine today. Tbe old blue laws were probably en acted for the purpose of preventing men from painting towns red. When yon meet a rich man who says that he is happier than when be was poor, give blin tbe credit of being honest It's funny how children can learn all tbe things they ought not to do without any help, but must be taught all the things tbey ought to know. They claim they have found an anti dote for bichloride of mercury poison ing.

A "White ChriHtmus." On Christmas eve the Baptist Sun day Bchool celebrated a "White Christmas." The idea of a "White, Christmas" is to give rather than to receive. After a program in which the children took part with the grownups, and which all enjoyed from first to last, the gifts, wrapped in ; white, were brought by representa-1 lives of the classes to the platform. ' Flour, meat, potatoes, canned fruit, ' apples, sugar, other groceries, toys, 1 clothes and candy literally stocked , the platform. .Then on Christmas morning members of the Sunday school, including some Of the boys and girls, set out to distribute the "White Christmas" gifts. The occa sions of the program and the distri bution were happy, Joyous ones. Chrstmas was thus kept in the spirit I of the life of Him who is honored j every 25th day of December.
