SPOILED THE SPEECHES.
Disastrous Eject of Foolish Questions
Upon Congressional Oratory.

Disastrous Eject OF Foolish Questions
Upon Congressional Oratory.
There are times when the question or
remark of a persistent interrupter will
destroy the effect of a speech and dis
courage the orator almost to the point
of breaking down, says the Troy Times.
When Bryan, of Nebraska, in the Fifty
third congress, was in the midst Of a
rhetorical climax and with arms up
lifted was gushing very familiar line,
the house was conyulsed by the ques-
ton of Walker, of Massachusetts,:
"Who wrote that?" The whole thing
was so ridiculous that it was five min
utes before Bryan could go on. Here is
another: Thomas Bartlett, of Vermont,
was renowned for his flights of elab-
crate rhetorical oratory, and seat in
congress was the special goal of his
ambition. When he was elected a story
of how he had been silenced by an audi
.nce of college boys got around, and on
the occasion of the new members first
appearance the house was prepared to
receive him in anything but serious
spirit. Rising to indorse proposition
which had just been vigorously at
tackled he began to declaim impressive
ly: "Sir, were it not for the rules Of the
house would pour upon the opponents
of this measure the walls Of my wrath"
He got no farther. Mr.. Polk, of Ten
hessee, was upon his feet in a moment,
moving, with every appearance of eager
interest, shat the rules be suspended
and the gentleman allowed to popr!"
Such a disconcerting burst of laughter
followed that the unfortunate orator
could only subside wrathfully into ST.
lence and his seat.

FORGOT HIS NECKTIE.
Embarrassing Situation of a Young Man
Out West,

In these days of cheap neckwear a
,pan is poor indeed who cannot afford q
large collection of ties. There is one
young man in this city, however, says
the Denver Times, who would have
willingly paid five times the cost of a
cravat, if necessary, a few days ago.
He is a genius in his way, and, like most
of his tribe, requires a guardian. It
was on a bright, warm morning, not
long since, that he sauntered from his
home, just about shopping time, and
in his absent-minded way wandered
downtown. AS he walked along Six
tenth street people gazed at'him curl
ously, and some were ill-bred enough
to laugh. Their curiosity was lost upon
him, however, for he was far away in
reveries Of the bright, happy times
when editors accept everything that is
offered without even asking ambitious
young authors to ruthlessly cut manu-
script "to satisfy our readers" He
wandered Into a crowded drug store,
and, elbowing his way through the
throngs of well-dressed women, asked
for his fayorite phosphate, and then
continued his stroll until he reached
the Office of the Times. Then some one
asked him why he did not dress before
coming on the street He looked up in
mild amazement, sought mirror, and
then made a rush for the nearest hab-
erdashery. Since then he has become
possessor of complete collection Of
ties, and when he sees his sister wearing
the choicest specimens, his hand I'm
variably seeks his collar band to see il
he has again been neglectful.

dent Lincoln's call for $4,000 men, he
enlisted. With his regiment he partici-
pated in all the battles of>the army Of
the Potomac up to and including the
battle of the Wilderness. He was cap
tured at the battle of the Wilderness
and kept ten months in a rebel prison.
When paroled he resembled a skeleton
rather than human being.
At the close of the war Maj. Scofeld
he had received his commission on his
release from prison for gallant con-
duct in the battle of the Wilderness
engaged in surveying. In the fall Of
1868 he went to Chicago. There he
formed the acquaintance of Finn Hall,
who had lumber interests in Oconto,
Wis, and took position as foreman Of
his mill there. From 1876 to 1881 he
was engaged in business in Oconto for
himself. In the latter year he formed
an association with the Marinette Saw
Mill company and acted as superin-
tendent of the business until 1890, when
he formed partnership with George
R. Arnold and organized the firm of
Edward Scofeld & Co. In 1894 the
business of that firm was incorporated
as the Scofield e. Arnold Lumber COM
