Mr.. CHAPMAN: Mr.. Speaker and
lady and gentlemen Of the House: You
have taken me a great deal by sur
prise. l thought perhaps the other day
'that you might present me with bou-
quet' Of roses. I saw four down here
in front. and thought + was going
to get some roses with the rest. I did
not look for any such beautiful present
as this one. II you want me to con-
tinue the rest Of the session. you will
have to be rougher with me because I
work better when am mad. (Laugh-

but now l think this House is better
than either of the others. BY virtue
OF the same rule. I suppose the next
session will be better still. Laugh-

House is one hundred per cent. per-
feet. and the next one can do no bet
ter than tie it. (Aplause)
II l have appeared kind to you at all

such splendid men as you. This ses-

that the session might last on and on
forever. / am very grateful to you.

in Congress and I will be your clerk
there. Applause.)
