ORIGIN OF @LoWER HOUSE,
What Charles Dickens Wrote After AZ.
tending Session Of the Law
Making Body.

What Is now Statuary hall was occu-
pied by the house of representatives
from 1907 to 1874, when the capitol
was In ruins. After the restoration Of
the building two or three years later
the house convened again in this hall
and continued its sessions there until
the autumn Of 1857, when the present
chamber In the south wing was taken
possession of by the house Of repre-
sentatives. The drapery and furniture
chairs, desks and sofas-were re-
moved from the old hall and the wood
en- floor, was relaid with marble. The
floor OF the old chamber used to be
four feet lower than 1t is at present
and was lower than the floor of the
old senate, now occupied by the Unit
ed States Supreme court. One author
has said that from this fact originated
the habit of calling the house of rep
resentatives the lower house" Ev-
erybody knows that the two branches
OF congress are coordinate and that
neither Is higher or lower than the
other, but the phrases upper house"
and Tower house" persist.
The house met in this chamber when
Charles Dickens made his first visit to
the United States, and part Of his un-
popularity was due to his description
OF the place and the habits of the
members. Part Of what he wrote was
this:
1t is a beautiful and spacious hall
OF semicircular shape supported by
handsome pillars. One part of the gal.
lery is appropriated to ladies, where
they sit in front rows, and come in
and go out as at a play or concert.
lt Is an elegant chamber to look at,
but a singularly bad one for all pur-
poses OF hearing. The house is hand
somely carpeted, but the state to
which these carpets are reduced by
the universal disregard of the spit
toons, with which every honorable
member is provided, and the extraor-
binary improvement on the pattern
which has been squirted and dabbled
upon 1t In every direction, does not
admit of being described. 1t is strange
pough to see an honorable gentleman
N%ning back in his tilted chair with
.rYlegs on his desk before him, shap-
>ilhg convenient plug with his PEN
knife, and when he Is quite ready to
use 1t, shoot the old one from his
mouth as from popgun and clan the
new one In its place. I was surprised
to learn that steady old chewers of
great experience are not always good
marksmen."

One day the late James McNeill
Whistler, the famous artist, went intol
a London hat shop. He stood there
bareheaded, as the clerk had taken his'
hat to another part of the shop to

said:

furthermore, your waistcoat is too

WANTED THE AUTHORS NAME
Senator Smoot Demanded That tho
Senate Be Told Who Wrote the
Constitution.

During discussion in the senate
upon an addition to the constitution
the speeches had been numerous.
There were stretches of uproar, and
then OF monotony, that lasted all day.
Senator Smoot of Utah was very much
interested, but he had been button.
holed by fellow Republican leader
and made to listen to quite an argu-
ment during one of the rather dry
speeches.
The two had become SO wrapped up
in their own conversation, near the
cioakroom doors, that they did not
know Of the progress of things under
the gavel's attention.
When the senator who had had the
floor for some time sat down another
jumped up and asked that the constitu.
ton be placed on the record with the
speech. !.
There was o stir, and Senator Smoot
recalled himself. He went to his desk
rather excitedly for 30 well poised a

chair to speak, amidst the confusion,
said In voice that intended to be

GOT TOGETHER At BAD TIME
Colonel Thought He Was Being Made
Fun Of by Men Whose Names
Were Peculiar.

During the days following the close
OF the Civil war the South was under
military government, and to conduct
matters properly the Union officials
found that they had many difficult du.
ties. In Warrenton. Va. the colonel
commanding the regiment stationed
there decided that it would be we'll to
take a census Of all male citizens. And
with this end In view the men of the
village were ordered on a certain day
to report their names, ages and other
data. .
This colonel was q Quick-tempered
man and would get very angry at the
least imaginary disrespect, 80 the citi.
zens determined to carry the thing
through smoothly. But, unfortunately
for the peace of mind of the colonel,
the town had several men who DOS
sessed the names of animals.
A Mr.. Lyon kept a restaurant, a
Mr.. Hare ran barroom, Mr.. Bear car
ried on a dry goods store, while Mr..
Coon was an auctioneer. These were
the actual names of real citizens of
the town, and, strange to say, all hap
pened to arrive at the polls at the
same time.
What is your name?". asked the
clerk of the first conner.
Bear" was the reply, and down
went Bear"
Your name, SIR" was demanded of
the second.
Lyon" came the response. And
Lyon was written.
Name, sir" for the third man.
Coon" was the answer. The col.
onel began to fret about like a bee in
bottle. He thought the men were
making game Of him, but he managed
to keep his temper in hand.
Name, sir" came for fourth time
from the clerk.
Hare" replied the last man. But
this was more than the now angry col.
onei could stand. He jumped to his
feet, his face blazing with anger al
what he thought Twas q trick, and,
shaking his fist In the astonished faces
OF the four men, thundered out:
This thing has gone far enough. II
any of you men try again to palm of
on me any more of your blasted ami.
mails, will slap the whole bunch OF
you in JAIL"
So the four men departed, sadly re.
fecting that after all, in spite OF
Shakespeare, there is something In @
name."
