Senator Stone’s Hobby Shapes Political Life and Poetry
The new chairman of the foreign relations committee, Senator William Joel Stone of Missouri, known as Gamehoe Till, is a prominent Washington figure. A Kentuckian by birth, he served in the House, was governor of Missouri, and then senator beginning March 4, 1903. His hobby is poetry, and he recites works by Shakespeare, Shelley, Poe, Longfellow, Whittier, and others to keep his mind in trim.

Representative Borland Joins Panama Tour Storytelling Sail
A Missouri representative on a Panama trip recalls on deck talks about government issues in the canal project. The party makes a port stop, meets an American tourist aiming to profit from a seaside resort, and locals join the scene with entertainment venues. A young American visitor frequents a nearby countryman’s place to surf. A whispered shark sighting near the town is debunked as a boisterous misperception.
