One of the Iwck county members from

letters that vouched for his Industry as
a worker for the Democratic party. After
having h heated Interview with a member
of tho staff of the sergeant-at-arms, the
man carried a large valise In wllh him
Ho deposited hts valise on the floor as

"Senator, since I became a voter I have
resented that Ignomlnous epithet, the

that will efface forever that damned un

The man opened his valise and look fri*m

slowly unwound Ihe wrappings and lh*n
set two busts about a foot high upon the

There was no doubl that the soap hd
teen moulded hy a master hand, although
the pink had an unnaturally flushed ap

"It Is my Idea to procure your indorse

the man. "and then I propose! to have these

igahte Channel, but to the fact that tha
channels are unconflned Tha Mississippi
and Missouri during the low water seasons
cover at points channels more than a lalla
rvula with a foot or two of water. Tha
result Is that the great ttdea for long pe
rloda and great dlwlancea run uaelesaly to
ihe Gulf, contributing In no way la tha
commercial or Induel rial progress of tha
nation.
The question of utilising tha power of
these rivers Is not considered a pressing

has heretofore been directed toward davts-
Ing means whereby they could he perma

read a paper before tha Western Honiety
of Kngltiecrs, In which he advanced a pos
sible solution of tho channel problem. Ha
believes that twenty-two feet of water can

i gruls and the Golf by storing And water

prevent the river from shifting Us chan-

The <tllc system ha* been frequently put
forward and the rnarrvolr Idea la not
