Senator Proctor is the sort of man who is called “good company.” He is an enie: taining talker, with an air of half cerious- half jest. There is a quaint, old- med humor about him that gives a spice to his conversation.

He is menuer ail gravity nor all humor, but finds ‘and brings to light every shade of senti- ment there maybe in his ee In the narration of his experlencés in fishing or in shooting big game he appears, at once, as a sportsman and a poet.
