Jerry Simpson.-The death of ex-Congressman Jerry Simpson at Wichita, Kansas, on October 23, removes one who for some years was a picturesque and significant figure in the politics of the country. He was born in New Brunswick in 1842. Simpson was at different times a Republican and a Democrat, and after his removal to Kansas he became a Greenbacker and Populist. He was a Member of Congress from 1891 to 1895 and from 1897 to 1899. The Washington Star, in giving an account of his career, brings in these incidents of his official life in Washington: "In this city Mr. Simpson was true to his Populistic ideas. He was the picture of simplicity in all he did, but he knew how to do striking things, and the House of Representatives was the place in which his acts were frequently the subject of much interest. "Jerry Simpson believed that the protective tariff was the cause of much of the trouble that the farmers of his State suffered. He believed that if the tariff were lowered the competition from foreign countries would WONDERFUL EDISON If you love masle and enter- word of this great offer.

On one occasion when the tariff was up for consideration, Mr. Simpson appeared on the floor of the House with a bundle under his arm. It was carefully wrapped so that its contents were not known to any one. Any ordinary visitor to the Capitol would have been stopped with such a bundle, which might have suggested possible danger to the watchman. But Mr. Simpson carried it himself and was not questioned. When he reached his desk he laid the bundle there carefully. He was to make a speech on the tariff that day, and the bundle lay there when he began his remarks. "The Representative from Kansas had become thoroughly warmed up in his denunciation of the protective-tariff policy. He had quoted Republican speakers on the beneficent effects of the tariff, and then, reaching for his bundle, declared: "And what do the American manufacturers furnish for the American workingmen and the farmers of the country? Trash! Shoddy! Worthless garments!' "He opened the bundle and held up before the astonished House an old overcoat that showed the signs of long wear. It was a cheap garment of shoddy. He told how he had gone to the Center market and purchased it from a farmer there who had come to town with his wagon-load of truck from Maryland. The Adrienne is the seeret of deep breathing.

The attention the speech received was due almost entirely to that picturesque scene that Simpson worked up. "While in this city Mr. Simpson was simplicity itself. He lived in a house of six rooms on Capitol Hill and walked to and from the Capitol daily. He did not mix much .n the society that attracts many new Representatives. He read his newspapers and studied statesmanship as he saw it. He was a constant attendant on the sessions of the House, and whenever there was to be an interesting debate he was not only there, but he was quite sure to take a part in it. He listened and he learned. "One of the rude awakenings that Mr. Simpson experienced while in congressional life was that legislation could not do everything for the amelioration of the troubles of the country that he had hoped for when he came to Congress. He became from year to year more and more conservative. Men who talked to him in his latter days in Congress declared that a great change had taken place in him so far as his radicalism was concerned. Many of them said Simpson was no longer a radical. They said he had become conservative. At any rate he was a constant student of public affairs both in committees and on the floor of the House. When he left Congress he was probably one of the broadest men among the group in which he was prominent. "While Mr. Simpson had constantly held up the farmers of the country as a badly used class of men, and appeared to regard the ownership of farms as the poorest of investments, when he left Congress he proceeded to invest his savings in Kansas farms. Practically all of his money was invested in farm land. While never rich, he was able to get together a fair competency for a man of modest habits." Godefroi Cavaignac.-Godefroi Cavaignac, whose death occurred recently in France, was an unlucky scion of a race identified with the French Republic since its first existence, and yet, says a writer in the New York Evening Post, he has what the French call a "bad press." He was, perhaps, we read, not of enough importance for history even to revise the bitter judgment which relegated him to obscurity after fleeting popular glory. In recalling Cavaignac's disastrous connection with the Dreyfus case the writer says: แ 'Cavaignac's fate is one of the contradictions of the Dreyfus case. Not to repeat a story accepted by each one according to his passion, three facts are worth recalling: First, Minister of War Cavaignac, on the 7th of July, 1898, produced in the Chamber of Deputies a document which he declared decisive of Dreyfus's guilt; and the grateful Parliament, breathing once more from the relentless campaign waged in the foreign press, gave 545 votes to the posting of his speech all over France. The twenty or so members present who still doubted prudently refrained from any dissenting vote. Second, a few weeks later, Minister Cavaignac announced that his subordinate, Captain Cuignet, had discovered the document to be a forgery of Colonel Henry-a discovery which made the revision of the case inevitable to any common mind. But Minister Cavaignac had not a common mind, and, rather than consent, he resigned. This was the real end of any effective political life for this able and accomplished, but congenitally narrow-minded and stubborn, man. He gave for a time his radical name to the noisy Nationalist faction, which, small as it was, had never any unity except to bark in opposition. It was the marriage of the carp and hare, and Cavaignac soon retired into silence.

"The third fact was his single notable reappearance in Parliament during these last years. It was the final disaster-and yet, perhaps, by a strange depravity of things, he may have been right. Just as he had made the Dreyfus revision possible and necessary, and yet no one gives him credit for it, so it was now himself that cited a letter received in the last days of his ministry-and it was made a pretext for his instantaneous political assassination.

MILLER Successor to Thomas & Miller) ALA arose and, with his most funereal voice, declared that the letter had not been brought to his notice. Cavaignac's stammering protestations were not heeded; he was fairly hooted from the Chamber. The next day-to-morrow is too late in politics-he showed that M. Brisson long since knew the letter in question, without, through all the intervening years, doing the play-actoring which had now proved so effective. lic; "Godefroi Cavaignac had been a member of four Governments, all Radical, three times under Brisson as Prime Minister and once under Léon Bourgeois in the first purely Radical Cabinet of the Third Repubhe was once Minister of Marine and twice Minister of war. And more than once his name had been pronounced as that of a future President of the republic. When his corpse was brought back to Paris the other day, not one Radical Member of Parliament, not one member of Government, but the only necessary dele gate of the President of the Chamber of Deputies, to which he belonged, was present to do him honor." Rockefeller's Remarkable Welcome.-A notable and significant event was the recent demonstration at Cleveland, O., in honor of Mr. John D. Rockefeller, the famous head of the Standard Oil Company. Mr. Rockefeller, whose home is in that city, was called upon by four hundred prominent citizens. The oc QUINCY, MASS. casion was made the more interesting by the fact that it was the fiftieth anniversary of the day when Mr. Rockefeller, then a poor and friendless boy, was given, in Cleveland, his first opportunity to work. Many of those who had known him and had been his friends in his early days were present. A writer in Leslie's Weekly, in describing the meeting, tells these stories: "One of Mr. John D. Rockefeller's agents for the disbursement of charity funds reported a family that was very destitute, and apparently very deserving. It was numerically large enough to satisfy the demands of the most dismal forecaster of race suicide west of the White House. Mr. Rockefeller approved the recommendations for aid and placed in the hands of his agent the equivalent of several months' pay for an ordinary laborer. As it did not occur to the agent to divide the sun into installments, he dropped into the poor man's cabin one fine day and opened up the whole dazzling fortune to the delighted view of the beneficiary.

Said the head of the house: 'I'll tell you what le's do-go down and have our pictur's tooken!' A hurry call on the soap and water supplies resulted shortly in a dozen shining faces, which were presently turned toward a nearby photographer's camera. No trouble about pleasant expressions for that crowd! The artist, who had heard the wondrous story, put the question, 'Does wealth bring happiness?' which was answered by the rousing shout of his customers, 'You bet!' "Mr. Rockefeller was driving along a country road, near Cleveland, one day, not very long ago, when he met a former servant of his, an old man, trudging along a side path. Stopping the carriage, Mr. Rockefeller spoke to him, inquiring very kindly about the health and prosperity of the old man and his family. HOW Mrs. Keith Made Christmas Money MRS.
