When Robert Latham Owen, Sona tor from the new State of Oklahoma, entered the Senate Chamber, ha was regarded s merely an Interest) n,i addition to the greatest dollbemtlvd body In the world. He Is a Chero kee Indian, or, rather, the blood of Cherokee ancestors courses In lib reins. Although an Oklahoman by ndnp. tlon. Senator Owen Is a Virginian by blrt'ti. He was born In Lynchburg, Feb. 2, 1856. His father was Rob ert L. Owen, formerly President of the Virginia & TennesHeo .Railroad, while his mother was Narctasa Clils bolm Owen, of the Cherokee Nation. Owen.

OWEN. ben man of stern purpose, but lie was a hero to his two boys. He irlej them with a rod of Iron, and while he wielded complete authority over their affairs, they made htm their hero. Young Owen was taught the rudi ments in private schools In Lynch burg. Later he was sent to a pre paratory sohool in Baltimore, an event that marked the first separa tion between mother and son. Leav ing there he entered Washington and Lee University at Lexington, Va.. from which Institute be was graduated In 1S87 with the degree of Master of Arts. it was probably the call of the West within him that started him to ward the setting Bun, for he had much of his mother's spirit. In any event, for the next few years the Senator-to-be filled a number of roles. He was in turn, teacher, edi tor, lawyer, banker, and business mn, engaged in various enterprises. He made a sterling reputation as a skillful lawyer, and later added to his reputation as a banker of fore sight and unimpeachable Integrity. Purl: r his buBy life, however, Oiven found time to enter politics. Ho olunged Into public affairs with the energy that characterized his prl ate undertakings. As a result, he wjx a membe; of the Democratic litonal Committee from 1892 to IKSfi, He was a member of the sub cofnilttee that '.iiw the party plat fcrm In 1896. and ten year 1- ter was VfChairman of the Democratic Campaign Committee in Oklahoma. O'ven was nominated June 8, 1907, for the United Stutes Senate by a Stae primary that gave him the IttrgtfBt vote of any candidate by 1 out 10,"000. The remarkable vote last for him over the otl.e. candi dates Is an indication of the popular ity ho enjoys in his home State. When Owon was sworn lr as a United States Senator he was accom panied by his blind colleague, Thom as P. Qore. It was necessary that the two men settle which should be seated for the nhort term and which 'or the long. It was decided to have the matter to chance. Two pieces of paper were prepared, one Rhorter than the other. Jhe Sena tor who drew the longer of the two was to have the long term. A blindfolded page was called and the slips given hlr . Because of his colleague's affliction, Owen Insisted upon him drawing .first. Oore did. It was discovered he had drawn the short slip. As a result Gore's term ixplres In March of 1909. Owen Ml serve until 1913. But as he turned away from the drawing that to him bad been so succeBBful It was difficult to Juge whether Own was glad or sorry His gaze rested compassionately nn his colleague, who held out i gr-i ing hand In congratulation.

It still enjoys an lm menso sale, while most of the prepara tions that haverotno Into prominence In the earlier period of lis popularity havo "roup, by the hoard "and are never moro hennl of. There must lie some reason for this loiiR-tlme popularity and that Is to be found in its superior merits. When once Riven a fair trial for weak stomach, or for liver and blood atTectlons, Its supe rior curative qualities are soon manifest; hence It has survived and grown In pop ular favor, while scores of less meritorious articles have suddenly flashed Into favor for a brief period and then been as soon forgotten. For a torpid liver with Its attendant Indigestion, dyspepsia, headache, per haps dizziness, foul breath, nasty coated tongue, with bitter taste, loss of appetite, with distress after eating, nervousness and debility, nothing Is so good as Dr. Pierce's Oolden Medical Discovery.

He made so many typographical errors during his life that ho Is afraid to die. The Jest may bo admitted, but the ma jority of typographical mistakes of ten havo results which are far re moved from the field of humor. Compositors and proof-readers fre quently realize this the "day after." In contemporary times, with ths typewriter, the linotype machine and the corps of careful editors, compositors, proof and copy-readers; men who have been thoroughly and completely trained in their work, the big city dailies consider it part of their business not to make mistakes. Though great precaution Is taken to prevent errors of type and grammar, curious mistakes spring up with surprising frequen cy, especially In the editions of small country weeklies where the copy la penned and set by band. The typographical error is far more numerous In contemporary publications than grammatical mis takes. Type is at best a slippery ar tide, even on the linotype machine with Its perfect keyboard. The operator as the one-time type-settei Is now called, finds It an exceeding ly easy matter to transpose a lettei now and then, an incident wnicn often changes the meaning of th sentence. A dramatic writer once noted in his review of a play that "others In the cast were, etc." The compost' tor while setting up thi sentencs merely touched the "t' before ths "b" on the key-board and ths as tonishing result was: "others of ths cats were, etc." "Seekers after of fice," written In an article by a po litical reporter, turned out to b "suckers after office." Years ago the owner or a Phlladalphla newspa per wrote an editorial headed "Clr cunistances alter Cases." When tbi proof came down from the com nos ing room he was amazed, to dlscovel that his comment was entitled, "Cir cus Horses at the Races.'1 The reporter who wrote "Th moeting was attended by a largs number of distinguished men" wa asked for an cxplar.atiou when ihe city editor read "The mooting wat attended by a large number or gusted men." A clergyman dis- wat "mar- once ouotad as saying that rtago was an infernal teapot." H really viewed marriage as an eter nal transport. 'Another clergyman usod the phrase "And an adversarj came among them and sowed tares" but was quoted as remarking thai tho adversary sawed trees. An agricultural Boclety offered S prize, for the best mode of Irrigation. The couatry paper printed It "Irrita tion" and a rarmer sent his wtr to claim the premium. "Shoot roily as It fiics-l'ope!" was once printed "Shoot Polly as she files Pop!" and t. total abstinence author who wrots "drunkenness is roily" was surprised to learn subsequently that "drunk eiine? s Is Jolly." The sentence, "The cow was struck by the train and cut into halves" turned out to be "was cut Into calves." The friends of an ac tor were greatly o'.sttessea one day to read that, he was starving in the West. An Investigation followed and It was learned tnat the actor was starring.
