Chicago, April S.-The price OF

Corn.
Decline of cent or more in corn,

The giants Of the forum, one by one,
hurled their oratorical thunderbolts:
and suddenly, amid the whirlwind Of
|applause following the conclusion by
a favorite. came the still, small voice
Of the utterly unknown. Not one man
in three in the house, and nobody in
the galleries, knew Quigg when he
rose.
'srhe gentleman from. New York;
said Reed. 4s
Quigg rose magniflcently to the oc-.
casion. He rose to his full height, ex-
banded his chest, glanced over the
chamber with a look of defiance ct
the minority side, and began:
Booted and spurred-"
The initial suggestion Of grand
iloquence, the humor Of springing an
utter unknown at such moment, the
rather scared look on Quigg's face, ap-
pealed to everybody at the same In
slant. The house burst into aNsnick-
er, which developed into a laugh, then
into a roar, and then into q resound-
ing, echoing wave which rolled back
and forth over the chamber, The
chairman pounded for order, and at
last restored ,semblance.
MIR. President" started Quigg, again.
'"The gentleman from New York"
Booted and spurred-"
Once more the uproar broke forth.
Quigg turned four colors in a sec
ond. He was frightened to death. The,
heartless audience jumped on him
worse when it saw he was down. He
tried third time when lull came.
Booted and spurred-"
That was the last effort. He never
got farther. The riot made 1t utterly
impossible for him to try to proceed
land he sat down. His first speech was
ended, and Quigg's interest in a par
liamentary career in the house died
right there.
So long as he remained In the house,
whenever grandiloquent effort was
made or an especially dramatic situa-
ton developed, some evil-minded per-
son would break the charm by shout
ing:
"Quigg. Quigg. recognize Quigg."

nation were turned toward the cham
Der. Telegraph wires were cleared in
every direction, editions were waiting
and presses were ready to start when
the bulletin should come giving the
word which side had won. 1t was a
tense and nerve wrccking moment; and
just then Napoleon Bonaparte This
tlewood got recognition.
He rose to his feet, and stroked the
funny goatee which adorns his chin. He
looked abott, picked up his paper, and
proceeded to read a speech, DIN a tone
which nobody could hear. The expect
ant house dared not leave. He might
quit soon, the rule might be sprung,
the fight be on, and every hand must
be at quarters. Members settled back,
tried to forget how hungry they were
for there had been almost no oppor-
tunity for lunch, and 1t was nearing
the middle of the afternoon-and hoped
it was not wicked to wish that a fell
low man might drop dead.
Napoleon Bonaparte whanged away
at the atmosphere and his views on
schedules, with nobody paying the
least attention. 1t was anti-climax with
a vengeance; and it recalled to an old
time member the story Of Lem Quigg's
downfall
"Quigg," he said had been a good
deal of man up in New York. He had
brains and ability. He came to the
house. but never spoke. Not till we'll
into his first term, on the day the Nc
Kinley bill was going to the vote on
its passage, did he become possessed
with the notion of making speech.
Reed, Mckinley, Carlisle and those
giants Of debate were occupying the
floor that day, and it was a great oc-
casion. Quigg went to Reed and horri-
fed him with demand for time to
speak.
But rye no time left" said Reed.
"Just enough for few words; I
must have it,
"And you can't get it," insisted Reed.
Then Quigg put it so strong that
Reed had to yield.
I'LL give you three minutes" he
said. That was enough.
