CRAY0N PICTURES HIDE0US
They Have Hung on the Walls Of Rep
resentatIve Hall Since First
Congress.
HIDEOUS

1t has been so many years that most
every body has forgotten who they are,
30 hideous looking are the crayon pic
lures OF the former speakers Of the
house which have hung on the walls
of the library back of representative
hall since the first congress. 1t is
quite impossible 70 make anybody
who has not seen them believe how
horrible these crayons are. You know
the kind; every family has them. You
can buy the frame for $3.50 and the
crayon is thrown in. These have been
added year by year as the speakers
OF the house came and went, and
few years ago somebody introduced
a resolution in the house that con
gress have all these crayons oil-paint-
ed. as the more recent speakers had
had theirs done in oil. Now all these
speakers are oiled" and the crayon
pictures are white elephants on the
hands OF congress. Representative
Lloyd of Missouri. chairman of the
committee on accounts. introduced a
resolution that all these crayons be
given to the various states from
which the speakers and representa-
tives came. and 1t was unanimously
adopted. Now all that remains is for
the states to ask for the pictures.
They will have to pay the freight on
them. What they will do with them
after they get them is something that
the artists in the state offices will
have TO decide In the language OF
the up-tO-date' girl: "These crayon
portraits are something fierce"
