T ho venerable Senator W illiam M.

One w ould think that Senator Stew art is old enough and dignified enough to escape the wiles of designing wom en, but if the senator’s version o f the case be true ho is the victim of a conspiracy as deliberate and heartless as that w hich im bittered Sim on C am eron’ s old ago or the law suit that gavo Ben H ill such unpleasant notoriety short ly before bo retired from the senate. T ho case against Senator Stewart, briefly put, Is ju st tills: Charles L. Glasscock, a resident o f W ashington o f uncertain ante cedents and rather dubiou s reputation, lias brought suit for divorce from his wife, nam in g Stewart as corespondent. Glass cock charges the Nevada senator with alienating ids w ife ’ s affections and adm its that it w ould take a good many pieces of the senator’s silver to heal his w ounds and repair his honor. Senator Stew art denounces tho whole affair as a conspiracy to extort blackm ail. Ho says: “ My first m eeting w ith this wom an was when sho cam e to m e w ith a pitiful tale about her poverty und asked for m oney. She said that she was w ithout fuel at her home, w h ile her children wero suffering from tho cold. I pitied her and gave her $5.

And here the roses grew That threw a kiss to every man That voyaged with the crew. Our silken sails in lazy folds Drooped in the breathless breeze. As o ’er a field of marigolds Our eyes swam o ’er the seas; While here the eddies lisped and purled Around the island’s rim. And up from out the underworld We saw the mermen swim. And it was dawn and middle day And midnight—for the moon On silver rounds across the bay Had climbed the skies of June— And here the glowing, glorious king Of day ruled o’er his realm. With stars of midnight glittering About his diadem. The sea gull reeled on languid wing In circles round the mast. We heard the songs the sirens sing As we went sailing past. And up and down the golden sands A thousand fairy throngs Flung at us from their flashing hands The echoes of their songs. Oh, it was but a dream I had While the musician played! For here the sky and here the glad Old ocean kissed the glade— And here the laughing ripples ran.

Or was it only a trick of imagina tion? Had he waltzed with her at some seaside hop or taken her out at some state dinner or wedding breakfast? Dr. Harrisso was a bold man in his way.
