..cAMP-MEETIN' JOHN ALLEN"

ConRresaman burrows Tells . Little story
On His Mississtppi Colleague.
From the Washington Post.
Representative Allen, OF Mississippi.
doesn't have il all his own way. Congress
man Burrows, Of Michigan, has got even
with him for once. He got Captain Allen
mp i'm line yesterday and fired u whole hat
terry under his car.
"when Allen was saving Connecticut
last fall.'' said Burrows. ''he had an mp
pointment i'm county. He was
met at the depot by an old fellow with a
bald face and n fringe of y~ellow-whitey
whiskcrs springinH up from his collar
bone over the edge OF his collar, like
witch grass i'm the angle Of n rail fence.
"'This is Mr.. Allen, Is it?' the old
'uu.
".It air. responded the captain.
"'wall. I've come To take ye to the
meet'n'.'" @
"without further ado the captain
climbed into the aRon. 1t was one of
the kind saved IN the ark. II had n rocker
body set on thorough braces and with
wheels two inches across the tire. The
shafts were straight and run up from n
low axle to- the horses neck. The horse
was n rat-tailcd buckskin mare which
cantcrcd behind and aniblcd in front. She
wore am old-fashioned collar and names,
cut tlccollctte and stuffed with straw.
Allen tried to stir the old man up by talk
ing politics. but the patriarch didn't seem
very enthusiastic for the democracy. and
preferred tn ak about forcordination and
the moral certainty % i'm 100 had Of being
damned!
FINALLY they reached the place Of
meeting. There was a good crowd, more
women than usual, but ~ terrible solemn
lot all around. The hall looked more like
"a meeting house than most places. hut
Captain Allen was accustomed to expect
ing anything. Old Galwayse escorted him
to the platform. where six. solemn looking
mugs shook hnnds with him md didn't
utter "a word.
Cad Thought the captain. .this looks
like "a funeral. I'll have n job warming
them up
FINALLY ono OF the solemn parties
walked to the edge of the platform and
said:
"'B.ethcren and sisters: IL is my sol
cmn pleasure tn intcrjuce to you tonight,
II man whose name il a household Wort
from Maine to Californy-n man whose
voice hez been upliftcd i'm ten Thousand
