HOW HE HE WON.
The stroSso oe Genius That Gave a Well
 Known I.eading Clerk His Place.

Known Iseading Clerk His Place.
 One of the interesting incidents at tho opening session of a new congress is the selection of the reading clerk of the house. The reading clerk is appointed by the clerk Of tie house, but candidates for the place must take part in com petitive speaking contest" before the house. John 4. Reeve, who was read ing clerk during Harrison's s administra- tion, was politician from Cairo Ills, and one of the Lest known characters in Washington at the time. Reeve tells this story:
 T didn't suppose had any show for tho place when 1t came to the test, :" said he, for most of the candidates were college men, and some were eloeution- ists, while the enly eloeution I had ever practiced was calling hogs in southern Illinois, though 1 had been able to get np in political meeting and make the follows on tic back seat hear me: so I thought wonld go into this contest anyhow and do my best ill my own way. But you ought to have heard those eloentionists. The way they rolled their r's and hissed their SIS and said ah' and '1-f was caution Some of them didn't talk liko human beings and others had voices so rich and melodious you eouldn t hear them 40 feet away.
 By the time my turn came I had sized up the hall and knew just about where to throw my voice, and deter mined to make myself heard if 1 did nothing else. Each candidate had re- ce1yed a copy of house bill to read. I noticed that the other fellows started out this way 'Uh bill, and so on. Now suh' is q soHnd that won't carry, and you can't attract the attention of the house by gr1lntipg 'UhP So when I started l sang out in loud, clear voice that took them off their feet, 'A-a-a-a.a billi'-long q. They weren't used to that, and wondered what had broken loose, but it seemed to catch them. aa3 1 was on the right track, so I went on singing her cut clear as bell, and when 1 got warmed up felt us good as over did i'll tho hottest speech of a campaign.
 The thing they gave me to read was terror. IL had words in it as long as a dictionary, hut I hurried up and slid through them and was doing pretty we'll vixen l looked down the page and saw a lot of Spanish proper names. Now, didn't know Spanish from Apache, but l was going about 100 words minute, go without stopping I gave them two verses of a little German poem I had learned whon q boy, and hang me if a man in that ball seemed to know the difference except Congressman Nied- ringhaus of St. Louis. You ought to have seen him laugh when he heard his native tongue worked off on the house of representatives for Spanish
 Yes l got the place, and it was the long a and the German poetry that saved me- New York Sun.
