congressman Congratulated Wallace
on His Record Speeches.
The staid old Congressional Record
has never been looked upon as par.
ticularly humorous publication, but the
issue which came out the other day
contains an excellent illustration Of
the jokes that sometimes creep in I'M
der the 'leave to print" rule, says a
Washington special dispatch to the
New York Times.
Dec. 10 one minute of time was al
lotted to Representative Wallace Of
Arkansas, and he managed to get three
long speeches in the Record which the
house never heard.
At the end of the first speech, as 1t
appears in the Record, is the observa-
ton Prolonged applause" at the end
of the second speech the note is loud
applause" and at the end of the third
speech the modest announcement is
made that there was Sustained ap-
plause"
AS matter of fact, there was no APP
plause whatever when Mr. Wallace
completed his one minute talk. 1t
cannot be denied, however, that the
Arkansan member has been warmly
congratulated on his nerve.

In tones of glee once said:

You should have seen the crop he raised.
Most celery just stalks,

About the garden walks.

Salt cellars full of salt.
