JOKING IN THE HOUSE.
The Congressman Talked Loud Enough,
but His Neighbor Heard Him Not

The Congressman Talked Loud Enough,
but His NeighbOr Heard Him Not.
The members of the house are still
laughing over a deliciously funny joke
which Representative Fischer of New York
perpetrated recently at the expense of Mr..
Gibson of Tennessee.
The pension bill was under discussion.
Mr. Gibson was speaking to an amendment
offered by himself. Mr.. Gibson is con-
spicuous chiefly for his short stature, his
fierce Napoleonic mustache and an opu-
lence of lung power which reminds one of
ex-Speaker Keifer. He was using this
lung power to its best advantage The
volume of sound which escaped from his
lips reverberated through the chamber in
trumpet tones steld could be easily heard IN
the corridors. He was emphasizing his
words with a series of gesticuiations,
which are the usual accompaniment of
speeches on the southern hastings. He
was fairly warming up to his subject when
Mr.. Fischer arose.
stMr. Speaker" he exclaimed, ST rise to
q point of ORDER
state his point of order,'' replied the chair
blandly.
My point is this,'' went on the New
Yorker. A number of members on this
side desire that the gentleman from Ten
nessee shall speak louder. 1t is impossible
to hear him in this part of the chamber.
Why, even the gentleman sitting next to
him is not catching a word -
All this Fischer said with face as
grave as Roman senator, dropping back
quietly as he spoke into his seat. The
house, which saw that Fischer was chatting
Gibson, awaited the result with much in
terest. Gibson, who also realized that he
was being guyed, turned and looked for a
moment at the gentleman beside him. AS
he did SO his face expressed, first surprise
and then disgust.
Fischer was right. The gentleman
beside him" could not hear him. He was
sound asleep. Washington Post.
