right 10 determine the purpose OF my

, test, and the House went on with tho

gan reading from the printed testimony
in the election case. and sent II up to
the clerk TO continue the reading. The
Speaker said that IL could not be read.

and 1 will read IL myself" The Speaker
said: According 10 the rules now gov
erning the House the gentleman has not
n right to read a printed book" but
this is printed testimony" Col O'Ferrail
shouted. and persisted in reading the
book.
Unparalleled confusion ensued. The MI
nority was so indignant that the House
was I'm a fearful uproar. In the cOnfus-
ion Major Mckinley marched down the
aisle TO tho arena i'm front OF the Speak

that we Will preserve order, and that

mitted TO read the evidence which he
desires 20 read" Then the Speaker gave
way and Col. O'Ferrall continued his
reading.

The school teacher in country dis.

widow with an interesting boy. Many
times she explained to her history class
that she had named her son Perry be.
cause of her great admiration of Com.
modore Perry, whom she considered one
of the most heroic characters in Amer.
ican history.
Among the admirers of the pretty
school teacher was Bob Taylor, one OF
the trustees, and his attentions to her
had been observed by the school chill
dren.
One day she asked her history class to
name a naval hero in the war of 1912.
Not pupil could name one.
"Of whom do l think great deal?"
she asked, by way of refreshing the
memories of her pupils.
"Bob Taylor" shouted the class in
unison.
Ever since Bob Taylor has been known
as Commodore.
