CONGRESSMAN Cannon Poetic.

Every once in a while Representa-
tive Cannon becomes poetical. At o
night session, when the House was
discussing a bill for protecting for
ssts, Mr.. Cannon described in flow
ing language how the moss under the
trees held the water, and how the
water in the dry season ~pereolated
through the roots of the trees. "And
as the water feeds down from the
headwaters through the counties and
the states" he continued, "and again
through other states, singing as 1T
goes, 1t makes the frogs and the
grasshoppers rejoice, and keeps ouf
descendants from crying for bread"
"Wel1," remarked Mr.. Sherman
when Cannon had concluded, the
gentleman from Illinois has demon
strated that wherever else the moss
grows, it does not grow on his back
I think he has further demonstrated
that musical and ripping as are the
streams he has described. they are
less musical than his voice, and less
rhythmical than his felicity in rolling
ont words"

Mothers Solicitude Over a Missing
Attachment to Her Sons Vest,

At 6 o'clock in the morning Of the
wedding day in a town up York state
p %postofice messenger rang the door
bell at the home of the ~bride-elect
and handed a special delivery letter
to the servant who responded.
1t was addressed to the best man,
who had come 400 miles to second
his best friend in the ceremony, and
was, with several others, the guest
of the brides parents.
The best man was still asleep, but
he was promptly awakened, on the
supposition that the letter must COZ
tain something Of Importance. 1t did,
indeed. Rubbing his eyes in an eff
fort to understand he tore open the
envelope and was ~astonished to find
a sheet of letter paper, with a large
needle of the sort men always choose
when emergency compels them to
sew, thrust through it, mad a foot of
double black thread trailing in a loose
tangle down the page.
The best man thought it was a joke.

about to become resentful when, up
on turning the sheet over, he found
this hastily written note:
Dear Brother-Mother says there
Is a button off your dress coat. 1t

it on"
Crawling out of bed the best man
examined his coat and laughed to see
that the situation had been accurate

"Just like mother" he said. "I1l

we're on board. These formed the
Celtic Masonic association and elected
Gen. Shryock president. In virtue OF
his distinguished Office the general
presided at a lodge meeting of Syrian
and American Masons held in a caV

The man was touched by the poem
