Having attained his lifetime ambition, a seat in the United States senate. Senator James Gordon of Mississippi the other day bade fares well to bis in an address that held them spellbound for 20 minutes. So deeply touched were many senators that they violated one of the most strict of senate rules, and applauded the aged veteran from Mississippi. After a scant service time enough, however, to win the hearts of every one in the capitol Senator Gordon gives place to Le Roy Percy, the choice of the Mississippi legislature to fill the unexpired term of the late Anson J. McLaurin Senator Gordon chose as his text, "Love One Another," which he called the Eleventh Commandment. His quaint phrases, his homely simplicity and his wise sayings, amusing though he was at times, especially when he read two of his own "pomes" earned the sympathy of every person who heard him. When he had concluded. Senator Depew of New York, briefly expressing the regret of the senate at his departure, described the address as "the most remarkable ever beard In the senate," and said It would go down In history as such. For dramatic Interest, the scene In the senate has seldom been equaled in recent years. As one who fought until the very last.

'The most touching episode was his rebuke to Heyburn of Idaho, who delivered the "bloody shirt" speech against the bill authorizing the war department to lend tents to the Confederate Veterans' reunion at Mobile next April "Let the senator from Idaho come down to the Mississippi prairies; let him come to my home," said the retiring hero of many a battle of 1861-65- . "and I will show him such southern life that when we return together here I will take off my hat, throw it In the air and hurrah for Grant in front of his statue in Statuary hall, and he will take off his hat, throw it in the air and hurrah before the statue of Robert E. Lee." And afterwards Heyburn stepped across to the Democratic side, shook the old man's hand and said in an undertone. "D n it; I'll do it." He then told how, when five years old, he had been presented with a toy board, which was checked over with different objects, some of them good and some of them bad. One of these objects was the capitol of the United States, and his mother bad told him. he said, that if he would be good and would live a correct life, he might some day hope to sit In the seat of the big man who was pictured there. "She never told me a lie, and I knew that what she said was true.

And the calf would cat hay greedily with Joy. Py that time the calf had become a full grown bull, and was strong and hearty, and Otis was tho happiest man In Retzvlllo, for tho-bul-l did not grow angry at the sight of red woolen shirts at all. If anything,, the right of a red woolen Shirt gave It emotions of pleasure. Hut tho bull was rather expensive. It had become passionately fond of red hay with a woolen shirt odor, and any one who has ever tried It know how costly it Is to bleach hay and deodorize It, and then dye It red and Impregnate It with otto of wool. So Otis decided to drop tbe red hay dUt gradually, for the bull was cured, lie-cu- t down tho bull's ration of red wcot hay, and cut it down, ur tll he cut It .rT entirely, and it was then that tbe hill began to show signs of uneasiness 4d wistful longing.

Otis was always a man to do immediately what he set about doing, but he saw that a love for red would have to be sown In the calf's soul gradually. He would have to connect the Idea of Joy and red In the calf's mind.
