speakInE Iu cOugres..

The most nervous moment lot a
new member Of Congress il jnst be.
fore ho Is to make a speech. Many
Of the old members, even, are seil.
cd with stage fright The idea
that the official reporters have ears
for tho whole country gives every
speaker an uncumForiably large au.
dionec. Each man has his pecu.
liar way Of going about it. You
can't tell when Randall or Morrison
are going TO speak until they are
pretty well on toward their re.
marks. Morrison always stands
for a moment half way down the
second aisle on the Democratic
side, with hands on the desks on
either side. Then he speaks with
.deliborations always taking two or
three steps toward the speaker
when much in earnest. He is al.
ways soon thtough, Randall al.
ways speaks from behind his own
desk, and makes no preliminary
movement. Hewitt is probably
the only other who speaks entirely
without warning He goes Of like
powder-all in dn instant. Some
members load theif desks for a
speechj some load themselves
Sometimes three or four desks give
warning Of speeches. They are
piled up with Congressional Rec.
ords, revised statutes, official re.
ports, newspaper clippings, and on
top of all huge rolls of manuscript.
These are always threatening.
Some members of experience put
all this material inside their desks,
and look very innocent, as Ii they
were not going to say much
Then they take out a little at a
time, There is a great difference
in the bearing of a man when he
is loaded with a speech. Butte!
wcrth, Of Ohio, ia one of those who
limbers up to a speech. For few
moments before he begins he seems
to be engaged in uulacing himself
aud limbering hi' joints, as an ath
Iete who is about to make a won.
derfnl leap. He crouthes low in
his desk and waits his chance.-
His face brightens up, the part
gets out of his hair, aud one lock
falls down on his forehead. He
stretches out his arms and legs,
works his shoulder to see that every
joint is free, and when he gets up
to speak he is like a willow.
Some members walk two ot three
times past the speakers desk be.
fore they try to catch his eye
Some stand up in their places,
clear their throsts several times,
pull up their sleeves, button their
cuffs, feel their tie, open and shut
their desks two or three times, aud
then walk down the aisle a little
way and say, "Mr. Speaker" Some
sit and rub their hands. Others DO
nothing in particular, but you can
tell tley are going to speak by the
nervous glances they throw up at
the speaker.
