President Foremost Kxnmple
r-reMdcnt Wilsen Is, of course, the
foremost example of what the wr
,11,1 te leaders of American politics,
hut there arc ethers in Congress who
v"re hit nlmest as hnrd. The physical
,nllnp"e of members of the hennte and
Heuse has resulted or will result In
almevt n eomnleto cbniiRO of leadership,
Senater I.e.Irc nlene of the four jvar
traders pulled through without u break
,n or misfortune of some kind. Lvcit
Senater l.odpe is net In robust henltli,
Iheuzli this may be attributed te nu.
vanehiR nge as much as te ether causes.
In the Senntc there will be several nb nb nb
vontees. The late Senater Themas H.
Martin, of Virginia, was the first of
the his leaders te pe. He was the
nomeeratle leader during the early days
f the war. lie broke down during the
ar and died seen after Its conclusion.
He was succeeded ns Democratic leader
hv Senater tillhert M. Hitchcock, of
N'ebruska, who, after conducting the
lone drawn out treaty fight, ending In
ll. rejection, of the League of NatiniiH,
was in turn compelled by his physic an
te relinquish the reins of leadership
toward the oloe of the last session,
nml hand them ever te Senater Oscar
Tnilcnvoed, of Alabama.
Noted Figures HoUre
Senater .Jehn Sharp Williams, of
Mississippi, mid Senater Themas 1
iiere. of Oklahoma are retiring, as is
Senater Lawrence V. Sherman, of Illi
nois. Senater Claude A. Swanson, of Vlr
cinia, is another figure whose return
l doubtful. A power in foreign affairs,
sometimes suggested for Democratic
leader, he. tee, broke down recently
and may be compelled, by the condition
of his henltli te remain at home In
definitely. In the IInue ether changes arc
noted. Heginning with James It.
Mann, of Illinois, whose brenkdewn
during the war led te his confinement
ami nlivenee for mere thnn n year, eost eest
ing lihn the speakership of the Heuse,
the 1M might be" lengthened by the ad
dition of Majority Leader Mendell, Mi
nority Leader Claude Kltchiu, "Cncle
Jee"' Cannen and several ethers of less
prominence.
Maim h Wounded Veteran
IleprcvMitatlvc Mann will never fully
regain Ills health, though nble te at
tend .-OHIO of the t.essleus of the Heuse.
He is a wounded veteran of legislative
kittles Kitchin collapsed following a
speech in the Heuse last spring, suffer
Inc a stroke that laid him up for several
ii.cmtlis and even new compels him te
evereise extreme caution in attending
te his duties. He experienced a sec
ond nttaek this week while nn n poll
at one of the government departments
and probably will be unnble. te as
sume the leadership of the Democratic
-Me of the Heuse when the new Co:i Ce:i
pvs meets next spring, a position te
which he would be entitled by reason
of the retirement of Champ Clark.

down, but broke two ribs, which at his
nge eighty-four years Is almost as
serious. His vitality scetris unimpaired,
however, and he gives premise of out
living ninny n younger colleague,
Mendell Is the gnmest of them nit.
Ills misfertunes: rend like the chronicles
of Jeb, except that he has thus far
managed te escape bankruptcy nnd
bells. Mendell 11 nlwnys n hnrd worker,
either In or nut of Congress. When he
finished his firM term of leadership In
the Heuse, last June, his henltli was
ee impaired he was ordered by his
physician te get out In the open nlr In
Wyoming nnd stny out nil summer.
That wnH what he started te de, but
fate Interfered, and exhibited the in
terier walls of hospitals and home te
iJilm much of the time he expected te
spend en tlic ranch.
Mendclt's Hard LurJ s
First of all. he fell out of n hayloft
nnd broke two ribs. That happened early
in the summer, nnd was accident num
ber one. Then In August he went down
before n belated nttaek of Influenza nnd
again was confined. Hardly had he
started en the rend te recovery whpn
r.leng came an nttaek of laryngitis,
which reduced Ills voice te n whlner
nnd cut short bin plans for campaign
speeches. Thnt disposed of, nccident
number two was recorded when lie fell
nnd broke his leg while en an inspec
tion trip nt the Shoshone dam In Wyo
ming. Hut even that is net nil. Returning
te Washington, still en crutches, he fell
en the steps of his residence here sev
eral days age and loosened the bone of
his broken leg just ns it had begun te
knit. Thnt laid him up ngaln, but only
for a day or two, and new he Is out
again, wondering what Is going te hap
pen next.
His gameness is demonstrated by the
regularity with which he reports for
work at the Capitel. He is nt his desk
enrly every morning, mnkes trips down
town te the departments whenevei
necessary nnd attends te all the details
of his office, looking nfter constituents
and party affairs ns well, though still
compelled te hobble about en crutches.
Mr. Mendell Is accompanied wherever
lie gees by his daughter. Miss Doreth
Mendell, who nsslsts him and acts ns
his guardian nnd nide. He expects te
continue the leadership of the Repub
lican side, though it is doubtful whether
he will be able te perferin nil the du
ties of majority leader when Congress
strikes its stride.
In a tdtuatien of this sort the IIeusi
needs "Ilnmpy" Moere back hi Con
gress, nnd there is mnny a wall ever the
fnct thnt he went back te Philadelphia
te preside ever the destinies of thnt city
rntber than remain here. Were he here,
he might be majority leader, in fnct. if
net in tinine, nt lenst until Mendell
recovers sufficiently te get into the game
with Ills old-time strength. Mayer
Moere, while in the Heuse, was one
of the most nctlvc members nnd was
heard in debate pcrhnps ns frequently
as any one en cither side.
Hut time brings changes nnd nobody
knows It better than u member of Con
gress or nn observer who watches the
tides of politics ccnic nnd go.
Champ Clnrk bends the list of celebri
ties wdie retire nt the end of three
months' session. He will go down in
the nnnnls of politics ns n man who
came nearer the presidency, only te
lese it, than perhaps, nuy ether man
except Samuel J. Tilden or Aaren
llurr. Rut he is n pellticnl cripple,
commonly known ns n lame duck, and
if that list were te be compiled, it
would fill another column.

"Te show Sue," he said. "I thought

I did."
When pressed te tell hew he first

emotion suppressed and the constant
toying with his lint.
"I don't remember much thnt hnp hnp

heard the words; 'murder' nnd 'City

nfter n while I stnrted for the deer, nnd

"That was another thing. When I

Though greatly Shocked at the news
that her brother was charger, with

"He was always the black sheep of
