A Speaker Who Dfdn't Have Much Il
SAY.

Say.
The pride of visitors TO Washington who
go to the senate chamber or house of rep
resentatives to see the congressman or SEN
ator from their district and hear him make
speech is often apparent at the national
capitol.
One man had been observed as a frequent
visitor in the gallery of the house. a friend
took the seat beside him one day, and warm
greetings were exchanged between the two.
Have you seen him." asked the new
conner.
Yes" was the reply, 1--WE seen him"
"Have you had the luck to be here when
he was talking"
Il took care not to miss anything he might
say. I've been here every day"
i don't blame YOU. l only wish L had
he time. The way he woke up those mo-
lopOhes and ringsters out home was eau
aOn, and then he was only nlbbling at the
questions OF the day, just getting the flavor
Of the Social situation previous to stepping
IN and biting out a chunk or two"
That's the way ! always looked at him"
Il suppose his voice has been ringing out
in clarion tones
M yes was the doubtful rejoinder.
What did he sayz' exclaimed the ques-
toner, eagerly. IN bet it was something
brief and to the point"
so far as / can judge / tried not to let
any OF his remarks get away from me, but
I'm afraid that maybe / wasn't watchful
enough. I've only heard him speak five
times Three of them he said aye and the
other two he said no "-Washington Star.
