SENATORIAL CHARITY

By JAMES HAY. Jr.

The senator, who had been disposed at first to receive his caller with as scant politeness as the dictates of politics allowed, displayed a singular graciousness of manner. The visitor was a girl, with hair like burnished bronze and eyes whose soft, brown look took In some lights the hue of old amber. She was dressed in lavender, with what the senator thought a profusion of fluffy lace across her bosom, and her little foot obtruded itself on the senatorial subconsciousness from beneath a mass of more flufflness and flounces. Besides, the senator had had a surfeit of dry political talk and committee meetings that day. “You see, I don’t ask anything for myself, even if my father and brothers do work for you at the primaries. It’s just for Jack.” She spoke in low tones, betraying a girlish awe of the important man. “And who is Jack?” ~ The member of the upper house brushed aside a pile of letters that awaited his signature and gave the girl his attention, a compliment he did not extend to all who sought his help. "He and I are engaged to be married,” she said, and the announcement, or the frank blushes accompanying it, charmed the big man. “Wte will be married as soon as he can get a position, and I know you can arrange It" “But what does he want, and why doesn’t he come himself?” The legislator represented a southern state, where women are put on a pedestal above the “business" of life, and he was genuinely puzzled. "He was discharged for drinking too much,” she admitted simply, a* little hesitant, her lips twitching the slightest bit. The glow from the open grate looked blurred and indistinct to her troubled gaze. “I see,” said the senator. She did not know how near she had come to his heart by her explanation. His thoughts went back to his son, whose dissipation was the one dark

“JACK!" CRIED THE GIRL.

spot on his father’s long career of political and private happiness. Maybe it was a sympathy bred of experience that softened his heart to her, and perhaps this was strengthened by the droop of her young head before him, a ray of the afternoon sunlight on her hair emphasizing its delicate fairness. “But he has promised never to do it again,” she explained, entirely argumentative, and fully trusting the promise. The senator looked at her solemnly, placing the tips of his fingers together with mathematical precision, as if to help out his thought. There was in his big, clear eyes much of sadness and a tolerant skepticism. “Such a promise," he smiled slightly, “is by no means a certified check, but I think I can help him.” He spoke this last in slow, gentle tones. She sprang to her feet, intending to take his hand while she told him her gratitude. 9 “But wait” He checked her quickly, and again the finger tips were mathematically adjusted. “He cannot have another position in the government departments. I shall get him a place where he will have a chance to rise and make a record for himself. These departments take it out of a man so. I know, because I have had others there—others whom I wanted to see do great things." The senator sighed r£ fretfully. “He can go to work for the P. and O,” he concluded. “But is that a good place?" she asked, doubting the new proposition. “It will make a man of him, and that is what we want, isn't It?” The senator passed his hand a trifle wearily across his brow and smiled sadly at the young face before him. “And he will have lots of chances to rise and get—money Y‘ “Most assuredly." And he smiled again, this time at the parted Ups of the girl and her eyes big with question and speculation. “And he can do all this soon, very soon?” “Yes.” “And be can have it right away?” “Tomorrow.” The senator somehow thought he was doing more good in the

bestowal of that place than was possible in the forming of the highest legislation. “Oh, it’s grand,” she cried, converted to the merits of the plan, "Just grand.” She clapped her hands together for sheer pleasure, like a child. “The funny part of it is,” she confided, “that Jack said he was coming to the capitol to see his friends about the place, and now I've done it better than he could.” She paused doubtfully. “He said he was afraid to come to you because you hated a man who drank, but I knew you could fix it for us.” “My dear child,” laughed the august person, “the worst thing in Washington is to be considered a good manipulator of federal patronage. But you haven’t given me the young man’s full name. I’ll have to let him take a letter from me to Johns.” “It’s funny,” she began, “that it is the same”— They looked around to the door, which had been thrown open by a young man. Surprised to find any one with the senator, be stood still for a minute, his hand upon the knob of the half closed door. He was tall and imperious in his bearing, looking more than handsome. "John,” said the senator. "Jack!” cried the girl, her high voice drowning the sound of the senator’s greeting. He, at the door, kept silence, a dull red mounting slowly to his cheeks and forehead. “Come in,” suggested the senator coldly. “This is Jack,” explained the girl, glad to Introduce him to his benefactor and disregarding the cool reception accorded him. The senator held out his hand. “Jack who?” he laughed, a trifle stiffly. “Oh,” she laughed in return, “Jack Stanlay. I had forgotten to tell you his name all this time.” Mr. Stanlay and the senator shook hands cordially, and there ensued • repetition of the outline of the new plan, which was interpolated with the enthusiastic exclamations and questions of the girl. “And,” she said at the close of the interview, “how can I ever thank you?” "You can’t,” said the senator, pronouncing the words with the mellow accent of the south and making it a compliment to the girl. "I am entirely in your debt.” When the couple had left the office he called his private secretary, who from the nature of things political, knew all his affairs, private and public. “Lorry,” said the senator, "when you have been doing things for other people and find out that after all you’ve been helping your own son you owe somebody something.” Lorry, being of a secretive nature, assented in silence. “And this time,” concluded the senator, “it will have to be a wedding present. Write out a check for”— And the rest was merely a business transaction.

Not In Her Class.

The eagles were holding a convention—or it might have been merely a caucus—on the rocky crest of a lofty hill. Proud regal birds they were, piercing of eye, sharp of beak and strong of claw, and all the timid creatures of the air retreated to a safe distance and watched them with awe. Presently, however, a wandering turkey buzzard, attracted by curiosity, ventured to join them. They eyed her scornfully, even threateningly. “What are yon doing here?” they said. “This is a gathering of eagles. You are a vulture and are not in our class.” “You are right,” replied the turkey buzzard. “I am of some use In the world, while you are thieves, robbers and murderers and not worth a continental except for show. Goodby, and be hanged to you!" Thereupon she turned her back upon them and flew away. Which shows, dear children, that there are two kinds of aristocracy and that a lofty style Isn’t everything.— Chicago Tribune.

Tommy’s Cm el Joke.

The other evening Miss Passee stayed to dinner, and Tommy as a great favor was allowed to have dinner with the company. Growing restless at des■ert, he was sent out of the room, but in a few seconds he returned with a little Dresden clock from the sitting room mantelpiece. “Gracious, child!” exclaimed the mother. “What mischief are you up to now?” “Goin’ to try a sperlment,” replied Tommy, with importance. Miss Passee tittered. “The dear little fellow is going to make an experiment,” she gushed. “How clever of him!” While Miss Passee was ■peaking Tommy had carefully placed the clock on the table In front of her. With a mysterious gesture he laid his finger on his lips and enjoined silence. No one stirred. After about two minutes Tommy’s strained expression relaxed, and he clapped his hands in exultation. “It goes!” he cried triumphantly. “It goes! You were wrong, papa.” “Of course it goes, child,” laughed Miss Passee. “What made your father think it wouldn’t?” “Well,” replied the little fellow simply, “he said your face would stop a clock.’ r —London Tatler.

Speaking of Tronsers.

“I have a great mind to get married after all,” said the old bachelor. “It is so nice to have a woman to look after your clothes ” “Yes,” replied the benedict, “but If they would only take as much interest In the creases as they do In the pockets it would be much better.” Chicago News.

INDIANA UNIVERSITY.

We are in receipt of the catalogue of Indiana University for the year just closed. The institution has had a remarkable growth in recent years. The attendance for 1904-5 was fifteen hundred and thirty-eight, two-thirds of whom are men. Of this number eightysix were graduate students who were working for advanced degrees. Students from twenty states and foreign countries were enrolled. Catalogues will be sent on application to the Registrar, Bloomington, Indiana. Those in attendance from this county during the last year were: John Barce, Ernest Lamson, Estel Eugene Pierson, Charles Ross Dean, Jesse Blaine Gwin, Isaac McKinney Lewis, Geo. Franklin McCarty, Nina D. Martindale, Ellen Donnelly, of Rensselaer; Charles Martin Sands, of Tefft, and Vern Sayers, of Demotte.

ONLY A SMALL PART OF JORDAN TOWNSHIP.

Under the head of “Big Real Estate Deal,” an Indianapolis paper contained the following dispatch from Lafayette a few days ago: More than half of the land in one township of Jasper county changed owners yesterday, when certified checks amounting to $111,007.25 were paid to Trustee Chapman of the McCoy estates, of Rensselaer by William Hill of Madison, who purchased the Jordan lands at auction last week. Of this amount, $17,824.30 will go to Mrs. Alfred McCoy and Mrs. Tom McCoy as their share of the proceeds. This is the largest deal in real estate ever consummated in Jasper county. As a matter of fact the McCoys only owned some 2,300 acres of land in Jordan tp., and this deal did not include all of that, some of the land having been sold to other parties previously. It may be also stated that there are over 25,000 acres of land in Jordan township, and the McCoys’ leas than four sections is a small part of Jordan. Neither is it the largest real estate deal ever consummated in Jasper county, the sale of the Nelson Morris land, about one year ago being about $204,000 greater.

THE BIG SHOW COMING.

The announcement that Ringling Brothers’ World’s Greatest Shows will exhibit in Kankakee, 111., Thursday, Aug. 17, will be received with more than usual interest by the people in this neighborhood. The Ringling Brothers have a name that stands for all that is new, novel and entertaining in the circus line and the management announces that this season the show has been enlarged to such an extent that whole extra train is used in addition to the four trains of last season. The show is now transported from place to place in eighty-five seven-ty-foot cars, constructed especially for the Ringling Brothers. In connection with the circus proper, in which the arenic performance is unexcelled, the Ringling Brothers are this season presenting the beautiful and sublime spectacular production of The Field of the Cloth of Gold. This pantomimic play necessitates the use of 1,200 actors and actresses and of almost five hundred horses. It is presented on the largest stage ever used for exhibtional purposes. Special excursion rates have been arranged for on all lines of travel by Ringling Brothers, and those who desire to go to Kankakee where this great circus exhibits next Thursday, can do so at a comparatively small cost. This will be the only point in this vicinity where the circus will exhibit this season and no one should miss the opportunity to see it.

Don’t Like Civil Service.

Missouri Republicans evidently do not take kindly to civil service reform, for not a single applicant for a federal position turned up at a civil service examination held at Kansas City.

ONLY $450 AT FRANCESVILLE,

Did Promotor Knowlton Carry Away, Saya the Tribune. The man C. F. Knowlton, who came to Crown Point recently as the promoter of an electric line from Indianapolis to Chicago, set up his pins well to get SI,OOO from citizens of this place as he Gid all along the line, but our people didn't take the bait. The SI,OOO was raised and he came after it but when informed that we must hear something more substantial than his story before turning the money over to him he took down his tent and stole away.—Crown Point Star. And commenting on the article reproduced from the Crown Point Star, the Rensselaer Republican says: “Stole away” is evidently a siting expression. But it seems he didn’t “steal away” Crown Point’s little old SI,OOO whatever he did to more confiding villages like Flora and Francesville. At Flora no secret was made of the fact that he got SSOO donation, and probably he got as much more there for stock in his company." “At Francesville a citizen who usually knows what he is talking about says Knowlton “stole away” with a good $1,400. Part of this was a donation to pay the cost of the so-called survey, and the rest was for shares of stock in the company. Thus every man who paid $25 was to get one share of stock for each $25, and the stock was “guaranteed” to some day be worth SIOO a share. The $1,4000 raised at Francesville was no doubt more than twice enough to pay for the entire survey, as it was made, while the balance and all obtained from other towns, was clear steal away for “Stole Away” Knowlton," For some time the Rensselaer Republican has taken great pleasure in casting insinuating remarks about the proposed electric line to pass through this place, and more especially about Charles F. Knowlton, the field manager. Now the facts are that the electric line secured just $450 from this place for sale of stock, equivelent to 18 shares at $25 per share. When the people accepted the stock they did so merely to help assist the enterprise, as promoters are not moneyed men by any means and they did not purchase with any intention of ever cashing in at par value. The laugh comes on the Republican editor. For years he “toadied” after the McCoy gang who eventually “stole away” with almost $375,000, being over 833 times more than the electric line got here. Then it must not be forgotten that in the McCoy daylight robbery the Republican editor lost S4OO, or in other words almost 18 times more than any one Francesville individual lost in. the interurban project. The Republican has for a quarter of a century been aware that a gang of thieves have constantly pilfered the county treasury of Jasper county and among these were the McCoys, who got the biggest sum. But the Republican has always been condoned to inactivity in the matter of exposing affairs at home, but is ever ready to make special note of the short — comings of it neighboring town. — Francesville Tribune.
