Many congressmen use humor as an
aid in expressing their ideas to lli?
house as a mere incident i f speech.
First and hurt there have been live hit
uiorists of the lirst class in "t-he more
numerous branch of the national legis
lature' Tom Corwhi. Abraham 1 .in.
coin, Samuil Sullivan Cox, J. Proctor
Knott and John M. Allen. Four t,f
these were congressional bumorisis-
Corwin, Cox, Knott and Allen. It
will thus be seen that I differential.;
between a congressional humorist and
a humorist who is in congress. L"n
qiu stionaLly Lincoln divides with Ar
teritis Ward and Mark Twain the hon
or of being the greatest American hu
morist for it is an honor no matter
what the dry as dusts may say by wav
of dissent, detraction or carping criti
cismbut most assuredly and most em
phatically Lincoln was net a congres
sional lumiori.it. Indeed there is pre
cious little trace-the uieist color, as
miners would say-of his humor or of
any ether of his mauy gnat faculties
in his congressional career. The truth
seems to be that congress did not suit
him and that he did not lit congress.
At any rate in his brief
ice in the
house there is nut even the faintest
prophecy of that astounding career
which wrote his name hi the scanty list
of the immortals.
Private John Albn.

' ly immortalized himself, but he has
lifted into continental fame Tupelo, the
: little town where he resides. After a
i long and distinguished career in the
: house he voluntarily quit public life
: for the practice of law.
i How John Got There,
j The dry as dusts solemnly asseverate
: that hum -r never did any good. They
I are cocksure cf that. Now, let's see.
. How did John Allen get to congress?
He joked himself in. One fe tching bit
; of humor sent him to Washington as a
I national lawmaker.
: The lirst time John ran for the con
i gressional nomination his opponent
was the Confederate general Tucker,
v'lln had fought gallantly during the
i civil war and who had served with dis
: tinction two or three terms in con-
gross. They met on the t-tunip. Gcn
; eral Tucker closed one cf his speeches
as follows:
; fellow citizens, after a hard fought 1
; battle on yonder hill. 1 bivouacked un-
der yonder clump of trees. Those of
; you who remember as I do the times
i that tried men's souls will net. I hope,
j forget the humble servant when the
j primaries shall be held."
I oat was a strong anneal in those
days, but John raise
own -aire in the
d the general at Ids
following amazing
manner:

his word, sent him to congress, where
he has staid until he has filled the land
with his acclaim.
John's Maiden Speech In Congress.
Of course every representative must
make his "maiden speech" in congress
that is, if he intends to try the ora
torical cepi r at all. Frequently it is a
painful ordeal. Much depends on that
effort. The congressional tyro feels
cnoi i. i ue congi essioiiai ijiu
that the eyes of the house, of his con-
. ...
Btlt"M5ts - of the whole coun-
try il,ld of !strity, are fixed upon
him. Generally he is mistaken as to
the number of eyes riveted upon him,
but nevertheless he feels as he rises to
say "Mr. Speaker!" tor tlie first time

he is a sort of universal optical
ind so feeling he is liable to an
attack of heart failure or stage fright. I

one of the lucky ones and took an in

continued to hold had he remained in j

as a welcome and grateful relief from i
what the late lamented Mr. Mantalini ,
would have denominated "tire demni- j

j cany it on, but such umriiniity was too
I beautiful to last. So when the bond bill
. came up we separated and took differ
;' cut paths. During the debate there
. was considerable crossilring as to who
; were the more patriotic, the Democrats
or the Republicans. General Charles
: Henry Grosvenor of Ohio threw out
certain insinuations which roiled the
I Democrats generally and Allen in par
i ticular. John rose to the occasion,
made a fiery speech, winding up by
proposing that there and then General
Grosvenor should open up a recruiting
station to enlist a company of con
gressmen of which Grosvenor should
be captain to serve during the Spanish
war without pay. John dared the gen-

the house there would be more Demo
cratic congressmen who would enlist
than there would be Republicans. The
proposition took General Grosveuor's
breath away and set the house and gal
leries in a roar. The venerable and
doughty general did not set . up his
standard, but John was the hero of the
hour. My firm belief is that had Gros
venor accepted John's proposition ev
ery Democrat in the house would have
volunteered, perhaps every Republican.
If the Spaniards had seen 300 con
gressmen advancing on them headed
by General Grosvenor, they might have
surrendered at discretion to avoid be

that of humorist, he is much more than
tht. No man that I ever heard in con
gress oi out of it .'an use invective to
better effect than the Mississippian. At
! times he is absolutely merciless. The
two excoriations which he gave Colonel
Josiah Patterson of Tennessee, one in
the debate on the bill to repeal the pur
chasing clause of the Sherman law, the
other when Josiah was trying to unseat
Carmaek, were terrible to listen to.

HARD TO GET STARTED.
Tilings Wh'e'i Cveren::ie
n Writer
V. ben Beslnnii nil Arliele,
There is a feeling of timidity that
oftentimes overcomes a writer when
beginning an article. As in writing a
letter, it is getting started that pu::zles.
It is the custom to begin with slow
moving piston and work gradually into
full speed until the flow of words is
free, and then the diliiculty with some
of us is to lind the brake valve. Again,
a writer sometimes discovers that his
beginning is a more fitting ending, and
vice versa. The newspaper style is to
throw general conclusions up strong
under the headlines, while tho sermon
izer reserves them until his final cli
max. Thackeray remarked once that he
could never tell exactly what he was
going to say until bis pen was in hand
and under motion and then did not fully
realize just what he was saying until it
was written. There is a subconscious
ness that shapes writing as it does
speaking. This. I know, dirdmbs smie
well known theories of speaking and
writing as to weighing everything and
then measuring it out as a druggist
compounds a prescription but my -observations
are that the preparation is
more in getting full of a subject and
then letting the mind work free under
the impulse of the dominating idea.
There are as many ways and meth
ods in writing and speaking as there
are individuals, and yet the fundamen
tal law in the transmission of thought
and speech runs largely in the same
groove, whether it be the jargon of the
Ilottonlot or the polished periods of
the scholar. Human nature has its
own primitive impulses that defy all
rules of rhetoric and the power of ex
pression tiiat is, the power, mind yen
is deeper seated than any artificial
formula of stylists. National Maga

The Ori?-Iii of Speech.
The dog can emit four or live differ
ent tones, c'ach indicative of a special
mental condition and each fully under
stood by Its companions. The barn
door fowl is credited with from nine to
twelve distinct vocal sounds, each ca
pable of a special interpretation by ita
fellows. The gestures of the I wor an
imals are either facial, like the grim
aces of the monkey, or changes of bod
ily attitude, like those of a dc. After
Citing the above mentioned tacts the
president of the anthropological s( c
tion of the British association in a re
cent address went on to say that he
thought it might not unreasonably be
inferred that the remote progenitors
of man relied upon equally lowly
means of communication and that fr- m
such humble beginnings speech has
been slowly evolved. Even yet we find
gestures, facial expressions and cer
tain vocal sounds often more eloquent
than words. Youth's Companion.
Prepared For All Eraergenetea.
It is proverbial, of course, that the
French shopman always hopes to make
twice as much as be should out of the
Englishman and twice as much again
out of the American. An English tour
ist who knew the French
cl..,.,mn,.
though he did not know his language,
adopted a siinp'e expedient for trans
acting his business abroad. He carried
a card into every shop he enters;! on
one side of which was written. "Com
bien?" (How much?) and on the other.
"Je vous donnerai la moitie" (I will
give you half). It is said that he never
found further conversation necessary.
Kept Her Eye Open.
The first appearance on the stage of
Mrs. Kendal was at the early age of
five years. She played the part of a
blind child and frankly confessed that
it was not a success. Unwisely sh
had been given a pair of new shoes
for the performance;, and so great was
the child's delight in these that nothing
could induce her to keep her eyes shut, i
as she should have done, and refrain I
from taking stray peeps at her beau
tiful, shiny footgear.
! Whnt He Saw.
j An Irish teamster went to his parish
priest in a great fright and told him
that he had seen a ghost on the church
: wall as he passed it in the night.
! "And what was it like?" asked the
priest.
! "It was like nothing so much as a
big ass," said Patrick, wild eyed,
j "Go home. Pat. and be easy." replied
j the priest soothingly. "You've onlj
! seen your own shadow."

There is flowing water in all th

ped mountains into streams of crystal

Pathetic Memorials of tlie III Fated

I palace struck into a cavity 1:1 the lava,
j the nature of which, of course, was a
j mystery. With ut breaking further
j into it they poarod piastir of paris

j opened, and as soon as the plas.er hail
j hardened the crust of lava was care-
j fully remcved, and, 1 ., the form uf a

the person were i;crfec:!v iw-i,!
I showing plainly that he had been, bur- j
j ied in boiling hive., which had hard- i

at other limes he cju'.d be funnv with

however, he had a little way of meas

Fellows noted this trait and once
wh.cn dining with Mr. Tilden saw that,
as usual, the Sage of Groystone had
ordered a smail bottle of an ordinary
brand for his plate and a very choice
vintage for himself. Mr. Tilden was
called away from the table for a mo

the bottles. When Tilden lifted bis
pint to pour out the wine, his eye
quickly noted the diaerenco. but lie;.
