WANTED A SONG AND A JIG.
story Told on senator Bacon ana
ConEressman Lewis.

washington, Feb. 1.-While Senator Ba-
con was delivering his great speech against
expansion Tuesday. nearly all the mem
hers of the Georgia delegation We're pres
ent to hear what he had to say in answer
to the young Indiana David OF the he
publican tribe, Senator Beverage.
During a lull in the proceedings goou
story was quietly related in the cloak
room at the expense of Senator Bacon by
one of the members of the House 1t APP
pears that Senator Bacon and Representa-
tive Lewis who represents Speaker Crisp's
old district, We're campaigning in Geor-
gia Mr.. Lewis is short and slight WhiIe
Senator Bacon is more than foot taller
and would easily weigh 200 pounds. Ihe
Senator and Mr.. Lewis were scheduled
to speak in a small town not far from
Americas.
The hall selected for the meeting would
hardly accommodate 100 persons The vii
lage sChoolmaster conceived the idea OF
giving his pupils an opportunity to see ana
hear Two distinguished Georgia statesmen
on the hustings. At the hour designated
for the meeting the schoolmaster and his
young charges filed into the hall and oc-
cuped nearly three-quarters of the seat
ing capacity. Back of the school children
were two or three rows of seats contain
ing ladies also interested in the meeting,
so that scarcely any available space was
left for the male population of the town.
When Senator Bacon and Mr.. Lewis
came upon the platform they were some
what surprised to find the hall pre-empted
by women and children. Senator Bacon
was loaded with a red hot political speech
which he proposed to fire at the voters in
that vicinity. With considerable display
of indignation he announced to the chair
man of the local committee that he came
to speak to men and not children, and re-
ouested that the school children give way
to the voters who were outside clammer-
ing for admission The chairmen of the
committee quietly informed the school
master what Senator Bacon had said,
whereupon the teacher in tone OF with
ering sarcasm stood up and proclaimed in
a loud voice:
"Children, you see yonder real live
Senator and a real live Congressman on
the same platform. Now If the big one
will sing a song and the little fellow dance
a Jig, we will GO
