that those who sympathize with him were

prolific subject of appropriations for seeds
for free distribution 20 the constituents OF

Mr.. Mercer, the representative from the
Omaha district Of Nebraska. Oddly
enough, MIR. Mercer, though hailing from
a purely agricultural state, opposed the
appropriation for free seeds, and he ex-
pressed his opinion very neatly by means
of an amendment which he had read from

"That the secretary OF agriculture dis

delegate in congress six chickens, six cat

divided as to sex half and half. "
The reading of this satirical amendment
caused great laugh To run through the
hall, and the merrimcnt increased when
Mr.. Mercer, with sober face and angry
mien, objected to having his amendment
called Joke. at is no more of joke
than the proceedings which have taken
place upon the floor of the house all day

contended. "There has been complaint

member finds that he Is two or three pack
