Time and care nave etched few lines on this boyish face. A clean, open face; big, wide-open eyes, clear and alert, looking for things. | A high forehead, good nose, plenty of chin, and a mouth which shows kind- ness and sympathy. One can hardly find a fault with the features. A profile of him would show a determined set to the jaw which the full face fails to show up. There is plenty of good nature there and a suggestion of mis- chief. If he was in the army he boat be the one who would volunteer to take an nt message through’the enemy's lines—and he would take it through and deliver it, too. A reckless, dare-devil stunt of this kind would be just to his liking, provided it was RIGHT, not dishonest. Altogether a clean, honest face, quick to do things, and do them now. There is one thing certain, he would not be in the Speaker's chair today if some of these qualities which | have mentibned were not pretty strongly devel- oped, and in evidence as well, THOUSANDS DIE IN N QUAKE ARRESTED IN 325% favo" WANTS BILL REVIVED TACOMA ARE KILLED. intelligent, humorous and sensitive.
