ARE YOUR CLOTHES FADED ?

Use Red Cross Ball Blue and make them white again. Large 2 os. package, S cents. An Unknown United States Senator. Some years ago Idaho sent a man to the Seriate whose name was McConnell. He enjoyed a brief term of about five or six weeks, and then he disappeared. The other day Mr. McConnell visited the Senate chamber again. Very few of the Senators knew him. His presence, however, recalled the fact that when he was in the Senate he lifted up his voice add made a speech. He was then an almost utter stranger. Old Senator Edmunds looked at him in astonishment. “Who is tills man talking?” asked Edmunds of a page. “Senate^McConnell, of Idaho,” responded tlie boy. “Well,” said Edmunds, “when it comes to the point that in the United States Senate a man can make a speech whom I never saw before, I think It is time for me to leave.” And Mr. Edmunds, in disgust, retired to the cloak-room.
