Judge Smith tells Another Story.

I'VE see in Washington correspond
ence that Congressman Smith is tell
ing the Lew Genung story on himself
down at Washington and enjoying ii
as though someone else was the victim.
The Judge likes a good story so we'll
and likes to tell it so well that little
matter like his being the fellow laugh
ed at will not prevent his telling it.
The writer was present at the Council
Bluffs banquet and heard Lew Gen
ung perpetrate his joke which came
around about as follows. The pur-
pose of the banquet seemed to be to
impress the members of the legisla-
ture who were there, with the thought
that Council Bluffs deserved to retain
the Institute for the Deaf and Dumb.
Lew Genung was the last of a list OF
half dozen speakers. The argument
was all in and Genung was lighting it
up with his fancy. After keeping his
hearers in more or less of an uproar
of laughter at his surprises in humor
for several minutes he launched into
eulogy of Iowa and her people and
OF south western Iowa in particular,
and of the metropolis of south western
Iowa, Council Bluffs. He told how
proud he was of the people of this
section. This ample field for the ora
tor was admirably used and the aud.
fence was carried to fine heights.
Then to complete the climax he said
he was proud the other day when the
dispatches came telling of their trouble
there and that the odium that had
| fastened itself on Danville could not
attach to Council Bluffs, that it was
only necessary, when they had mob,
for one of their leading citizens to
ascend the court house steps and
make a speech when the mob would
disperse and go to their respective
homes. He said in his imagination
he could see the eloquent Congress-
man standing on the approach to the
court house and under the dome OF
liberty and statue of justice and clos
ing his impassioned appeal with,
"Shoot if you must this old bald head
but save the two votes in the Jail, he
said.
The drop from the sublime to the
ridiculous was most sudden.

into prominence as an exceptionally
favored community is the daily news
