Randaps Moment of Suspense

place In the atmosphere Of the house
AMI desperate situation had arisen.
/ glanced down towards the speakers
desk. and though no one had yet Ia
ken belligerent attitude. felt that
there was grave danger of a personal
encounter between two members.
How reached the speakers desk
I don't know. Nor have ] any recol.
lection of pushing Mr.. Covert to one
side ard seizing the gavel. But ! do
recall most vividly that as began to
pound with all my might with the
gavel. beheld directly before me the
most portentous scene that ever saw
in the house In front OF the clerks
desk stood Mr.. Sparks. representing
Missouri district. with an uplifted
chair as a weapon. and directly across
the aisle from him, and awaiting the
ATTACK in a spirit of defiance, was
General James B. Weaver, the Green
hack party's presidential candidate OF
the wear before. And 1t seemed to me
that I had never seen such malignant
passion upon mems faces 1t was the
very spirit that leads to murder-and
al once the awful thought shot into
INV mind: The eternal disgrace of a
murder taking place on the floor OF
the house of representatives!
"It was a thought--a situation
that made me desperate. pounded
like a mailman with my gavei. sum-
moned the sergeant-at-arms to get
the mace. put all the energy. both
mental and physical, that possessed
in the effort to secure temporary
hesitation ON the part Of either man
tn advance to the attack. And, thank
Cod there was a momentary hesita-
tion-iust sufficient to enable several
members to recover their startled
senses and rush between the angry
adversaries.
"As soon as saw others rush be-
tween the two men knew that dan
ger of a personal encounter was over
and the next instant sank back
into my chair completely exhausted.
So great had been the strain, brief
though it was, that felt as though |
would collapse: still. presume the
house die not observe my true condi-
ton owing to the excitement"
