The Wow Conrrcssn,nn-

The average member of the House ap-
preciates his salary. because it is really
more than he could make at anything else,
says the New York Suns Washington cor
respondent. It is certainly true in the
case of most of those who come from the
rural districts, particularly in the south
and west. But every now and then some
man VINO has served one or two terms and
begins 70 feel his head swell with impor-
lance Will insist in his conversation with
his associates that he is tired Of public life,
that there is nothing in II, and tell you
that he wonders why he was ever such {
fool as to come to Washington any way.
Several days ago, in the House lobby,
d comparatively young fellow got into
conversation with Judge CulbersOn of
Texas, who is now serving his eleventh
term in congress, and who will probably
remain in the House as long as he desires.
Two terms seem to be enough for me-
remarked the younger man. I certainly
do not want TO come back and l will NOT
unless l am forced by my constituents.
OF course there are times in a mans life
when he has to yield to the wishes OF his
constituents, but if l can have my way I
shall get out of this thing at the end Of
this term. l am surprised, Judge Culber-
son, that man of your great learning
and experience in the law can content
himself by remaining for more than %
years in congress. Appears to me that you
should have gotten out years ago. HaV-
ing been chairman Of the judiciary COM
mittee you have prestige that ought to
bring you in from $4,000 to $30,000 a year.
l am certain l can make twice as much
money at my practice as ] receive here
and l want to get out. Then, again, 1 do
not like the life"
Judge Culberson is a slow man in his
movements. He doesn't talk much, eitn-
er, and when he does talk it is in a soft
and deliberate manner. he is thinker,
and at times a squelcher, too, when the
notion strikes him After sizing up the
younger member of congress and asking
him few questions, Judge Culberson OUT
city said:
MY friend, there are many reasons why
l like 10 serve my constituents and am
willing to remain in congress. The pr!n,
cipal one is the salary attached TO my Pc,
sitiOn is 50 ID regular. If you do nos
like what you are doing you can retire to
private life, but the chances are there are
not three lawyers in your entire district
who are making $1,000 a year. and il is
very doubtful if you will ever have as
large an income again if you so out CT
cOnGreSS.'

Looking backward.

Henry Walker, in Kansas City Star.
I'd like to be a boy again
In old camp-meetng times,
And hear the old-fashioned people sing
Those sounding, tuneful rhymes
And see the mouTners at the bench
The righteous close around EN-
Awaiting for Gods lamp TO show
His Shepherd, true, had found 'em.
I'd like to be in church once more,
In old revival years,
Among the folk who still believed,
God listened with both ears
To those who sang the loudest song
Or shouted strongest prayer
I'd go back with a willing heart,
Could 1 once more be there.
I'd like to see the preachers face
Above that bench again
shining through the. happy tears
Like sunshine through rain
And hear his: Glory be to G0di
SO joyfully asserted,
When half a dozen anxious souls
Had surely been converted.
o, for a day of those lost years
And of that day one hour,
When good old mother so-and-so
Was shouting with the power
While men and women laughed and cried
AS she danced down the aisle
A shaking hands and blessing all
In "non-cOn-fOrmal' style.
But now the church has passed beyond
Experimental days
All, now, the good folks of that church
Worship In other ways
The anxious seat has gone aloft
BY fiery furnace speeded-
For, when reViValS come along
No mourners- bench IS needed.
Yet, in this silent summer night
The branches softly swing
Within that lonesome grove, the leaves
Are sadly rushing
And ghosts of dear, departed saints
Throng underneath the trees,
With spirit prayers and spirit hymns
A murmuring to the breeze.
Once more. I hear them singing: 90
There are ten thousand charms,
In getting up and marching straight
To Christs embracing arms
Once more, / see them bowling down
With ghost knees next the sod
While song and prayer ascend, once more
Clear TO the throne of Godl
