frosty-haired members displayed
scars as a result of boyhood whiting,
and others told of wonderful Barlow
knife experiences of their kidhood
days.
The best story was told by L. White
Bubey, veteran member of the club.
He said that when he was a boy liv-
ing at Vienna X-Roads, in Ohio, (now
known as South Vienna) it was the
daily custom of the leading citizens
Of the village, including the Parson,
to cOngregate on row of chairs in
front of the tavern and discuss poll
ties, religion, and other subjects.
Many of them, particularly the Par
son, did not seem to be able to talk
to good advantage unless they had
their knives out and were whiting
on something was usually the
chairs they were sitting on. This de-
struction of property greatly annoyed
the hotelkeeper. One spring when he
QUILTED the sidewalk with brand new
chairs he resolved to adopt strenuous
methods to prevent them from being
hacked with knives. The ParsOn, who
was exceedingly popular with the
crowd, was the first offender. AS he
was getting we'll under way with
tale he sort of unconsciously got out
his knife and commenced cutting on
the chair. Without a word of warn
ing the proprietor walked up behind
him and with sharp knife slit hole
in tn etail of his Prince Albert coat.
''Here, here, what do you mean by
cutting my coat?" expostulated the
clergyman.
every time you cut my chair, I'm
going to cut your coat" calmly re-
piled the hotel man.
That ended the chair whiting.

Flies Responsible for Fourth of July.
Congressman Carroll L. Beedy, of
Maine, says if it had not been for a
lot of hungry flies, we doubtless
would be celebrating the signing of
the Declaration of independence at
a date later than July 4th.
According to Mr.. Beedy, the fourth
day of July, 1776, was an exceedingly
warm day, and from a livery stable
nearby came swarms of flies bent on
getting a change of diet. They ap-
parently were tired of horse flesh.
They made a bee line for the legs of
the Congressman which were encased
in thin silk stockings of knee length.
Thomas Jefferson says it was no
uncommon sight to see a member
making an impassioned speech with a
large handkerchief in his hand, and
pausing every few moments to thresh
the pests from his calves.
The members were not unanimous
in favor of the document, and had it
not been for the flies debate might
have continued for days, possibly
weeks.
Efforts were even made to find
another hall, free from the biting
nuisances, but without success. As
the weather became warmer, the flies
grew worse, and the Tapping of hand
3 kerchiefs was a continuous perform
ance.
Losing patience, a member suggest
ed fastening proceedings so that
Congress might adjourn and the
members get away from their tor
mentors.
There We're few wild protests, but
no one paid any attention to them
The immortal document was hurried
ly copied, and, with handkerchiefs in
hand, fighting flies as they came, the
members FASTENED up to the desk to
affix their names, and seek localities
where livery stables were not the
fashion.

HE DIDN'T FILL sILos

There are several members of Con-

ascertain their heft. Senator Nc
Cumber, of North Dakota, tells an
amusing story about the experience
of one of these full-growns while cam
paignipg in a remote section of the
west.
Entering a little country restau-
rant one morning, while the prophie-
tor-waiter-cook-ca was working
in the kitchen, he loudly hammered
on one of the tables with his fist to
attract attention.
''Say, do you serve meals here?"
he barked, when the proprietor came
in from the kitchen wiping his hands
on his overworked apron.

The Most Embarrassing Experience
He Ever Had.

He Ever Had
Some one asked Representative
Harold Knutson, of Minnesota, what
was his most embarrassing experience
since entering the political arena.
He laughed heartily before reply
ing. ''The most embarrassing exper-
fence 1 have ever had he stated,
occurred a few weeks after 1 first
decided to run for Congress some
years ago. I was invited to speak at
a county fair The chairman an
nounced that could speak for twenty
minutes. Public speaking was new to
me at that time, and it was decidedly
hard work. When l had floundered
along for what seemed like twenty
minutes, l thanked the people for
their kind attention and sat down.
Imagine my surprise and consterna-
ton when the chairman loudly an
nounced that 1 had fifteen minutes
more and to resume talking. 1t was
a cold, frosty day, but the sweat
seconds-but it seemed like an eter-
nity-I couldn't think OF a single
thing to talk about. l was up a tree,
and thought 1 was going to be
through as a politician. Then
thought of the improved road had
ridden over in coming to town, and
proceeded to talk about that road.
No road from the Appian Way down
to the present time ever received
such a eulogy. 1 got so worked up
on the subject that the chairman was
obliged to announce my time was up. -
