Such are samples Of what men who appreci-
ate wit and humor have to endure in the
House. There is some relief however. Since
the death Of Sunset Cox. the man from Tupelo
has no peer. Nobody can throw the House
into such genuine fits OF merriment as John
Allen. He looks like plain countryman from
Itawamba county. He patronizes a Tupelo
tailor. and his clothes fit accordingly Since
the last session he has grown a scraggy beard
and his hair has grown 80 thin on the top OF
his head that it looks like cnrtway choked
with weeds. He is 30 changed that when in

the difficulty with Chilli A summary OF it was
printed far and wide. but the best part Of the
speech was omitted. After speaking OF his
experience in tho war. and comparing the

pocket and read an extract from an interview
with ex-Speaker Keller. 1t was in these words:
