O O O O O 000000000000000 It was related of a shrewd politic ian who once represented in congress one of the lower wards of New York City that he always addressed his ragged, coatless constituents arrayed in evening dress. The unwashed ap preciated the compliment and cheered the louder for “Fernandy Wood.’’ Greater men than Wood have under stood the influence of good clothes Daniel Webster always wore his best clothes when he appeared on the pub 'ic platform or addressed the senate. On being asked why he wore such an elaborate dress when making a speech, he turned upon the questioner and inquired whether he should not present his best thoughts, his best manner, his best garb, when he ad dressed his fellow men? Webster’s dress had not always be<n elaborate, and in this relation he uwd to tell how he went to Dart mouth College in a homespun suit of which every thread was carded, snun "nd woven by his mother’s hand from the wool of their own sheep. It was a dyed in the wool suit and the co’or was indigo blue! In the south butternut was used; but though the Yankee dames knew all about the uses of butternut bark •rd the subtle power for slate color that lay in the sumac berries and berk of white maple, and were not unacquainted with the various dves ♦hnt root and flower, bark and lent, could be made to yield through the agency of vitriol and alum and cop peras to “set” them fast, the univer sal standby in New England was the blue pot. par excellence, the “dye pot” that stood in the chimney corner of every kitchen in that region. So Webster was fitted out in indigo b’ue from the collar to ankle. Before reaching Hanover there came on one of those drenching rains that wet a man to the skin. The suit held its own. but it parted with enough dye to tinge Daniel blue from head to foot. Th* great Charles Sumner is said to have affected a picturesque style of dress, wearing colors brighter than those which predominated in the sen atorial garb of the period. His ap pramnee in his sect in the senate was studiously dignified. He once remark ed to Noah Brooks, that he never al lowed himself, even in the privacy of his own chamber, to fall into a posi- ■EASTERS Will Soon Be Here Why not go to Barnett’s Big Store and make your selection of a suit of clothes suitable to the occasion?

In later days Edward Wolcott of Colorado was the dandy of the senate. His liking for frequent changes of attire once involved him in an alter cation with a senator from a north western state. One morning Wolcott appeared in a natty brown sack suit in the latest mode. In the afternoon he turned up in a faultlessly fitting frock coat, with stylish gray trousers and wearing a silk hat. In the course of a debate the senator from the northwest had sneeringly alluded to the Colorado man's alleged vacillat ion of purpose, which he likened to his “dramatic change of costume." Piqued, Wolcott instantly sprang to his feet, and gained the floor on a question of personal privilege, ex claimed: “There are some men to whom clean linen is an offense. Such a one I take the senator from Wyoming to be. The best reply I can make to his rather boorish observation touching my dress is to quote the Spanish pro verb, ‘lt's a waste of lather to shave an ass!’” Among literary men. perhaps Gold smith and Dickens were the most ad dicted to fine raiment. Os the for mer it used to be said that he made himself and everybody aobut him un comfortable by dressing in blue velvet suits, lack and satin. When Charles Dickens was to make his first appearance in America as a reader an immense crowd awaited him at a public hall in Boston. The en thusiasm of the people had risen to fever heat. One of his most ardent admirers afterward told this little in cident of the evening: "With a few gentlemen who wished to welcome him and to show him at tention, I was in the little room back of the platform when Dickens entered it. He was a rather stout man, with a somewhat red face, and I saw, to my surprise, that he was dressed in DcafneM Cannot Be Cured ay local application*, a* they cannot roach Iba Uinanaed pot lion or the ear There Is only on* way to cure deatn-aa and that is by constitutional remedies Deafness Is caused by an InSam-d condition of the mu xws llnlns of the Eustachian Tube.
