board in front of him. gives evidence Of
pretty rough usage. ..s5'
Near the sounding board which was
used by Speaker Crisp are the rem
nants Of the two sounding boards
which were used by Speaker Reed dur.
Ing the turbulent times of the Fifty
6rst' congress. The top of the desk
which was used by Mr.. Reed during
the5frst session of the Fifty-frst con-
zress, at the time when he was estab-
fishing the precedent of a'.'present a
quorum" looks as though it had been,
/ in a. cyclone without guardian. 1t is.
eaten away for distance of nearly
three feet in length, and more than a
loot in width. That space which came
under the weight of his right hand
and a heavy gavel is fairly crushed.
I The last night of the first session was
IN exciting one, and Speaker Reed, who.
had already. been thinning the wood
by constant hammering, struck one
mighty blow, which carried the gavel
!. clear through the board. It looks like
piece Of armor-plate pierced by one
Of the modern projectiles fred from a
Krupp gun of tremendous power. #
the old sounding board could only talk
and tell the stories Of the; particular
scenes and incidents which brought
about its destruction, it could. deliver
entertaining lectures for all future
times. The visitor, however, can only
gaze, on the wreck and ruin of the
sounding board and onjecture for him
self concerning the scenes and inci-
dents which resulted in this manner.
Mr.. Rogers, of Arkansas, Mr.. .Bynum,
Of Indiana, Mr. Hatch, Of Missouri, and
others who personally as well as polit-
-ically disliked Speaker Reed, were con-
ss.stantly annoying him and requiring
him to call the house to, order and
hammer upon that board. Upon one
occasion Mr.. Hatch, Of Missouri, came
down the aisle protesting against hav-
ing his name counted as present and
not voting Mr.. Reed brought down
his gayel heavily and inquired: Does
the gentleman from Missouri mean to
state that he is not present?" That
ludicrous scene will account for at
least; one heavy blow which the old
/ sounding board received.
One OF the employees says that the
topof Mr. Reeds desk is in the work
ys,om Of the superintendent Of repairs.

ment will want to purchase them as
relics for the Smithsonian institution,
and pay a fabulous price for them. !.
The thin green cloth which covered
Mr.. Reeds desk, and which is almost
macerated as the result Of its expert
ence, is in the possession of young
married woman, who was a pretty
belle two years ago, and when visit
ing the capitol the day after adjourn
ment stripped it from the desk. She
says that she intends to keep it for
ever, and bequeath it. to her issue; for
she is an enthusiastic admirer of Mr..
Reed, and regards the shredded green
baize as priceless heirloom.
"These things will all be lost or for
gotten in short time" said Mr.. Reed
the other afternoon. ''These relics of
political excitement are well enough to
keep in families, but the general pub
lie never takes any interest in them.
That which is likely to last forever is
the impetus which was given for ma
jority rule in the days when the old
desk was hammered so hard, and when
the gavel crumbled beneath the weight
of my arm and hand. The noisy scenes
are already almost forgotten, and the
wooden relics are valuable only to my
self and family; but the principle that
congress is elected .to do business will
probably last forever"
The distinguished and aggressive
ex-speaker is not man who seems to
have any personal pride or egotism.
He is as modest and approachable q
man as there is in either honse of con-
gress; and he is possessed of fund of
good humor which often disarms his
political enemies.
% Speaker Crisp, who now holds power
second only to that of the president
of the United States, is also an unpre.
tentious man whom everybody likes;
and, his door always has the latch
string out for his friends. He is the
last man, whom one would expect to
pound needlessly upon his desk to
maintain order; yet he was obliged to
do so, as,his desk indicates He says:
GA great deal of the speakers work, in
securing order, is due to the careless
ness of representatives who disregard
the call to order, and continue their
conversations or puplic speaking in
voluntarily, feeling that they must
continue until their ideas are fully set
forth. The house is not Intentionally
a disorderly body. It's very size seems
to encourage a feeling of individual
responsibility" SMITH D. FRY.
