"When bills are actually under consideration, any member may speak If ho can obtain from the floor leader of his party part of tho time allotted to that party for discussion. Uncle Joe cares littje who speaks or what they say, for in ninety-nine cases in one hundred the fate of tho bill has already been determined in that tobacco-scented chamber. Be sides, the galleries must bo amused in some manner, and talk is inex pensive. But when it comes to getting bills before the house for discussion, there's a different tale to tell, for tho man who rises to offer a bill or to call one up is almost invariably tho man you have seen a trifle earlier in the day coming from the Red room with light, elastic step and smiling countenance. And that man whom you saw emerge from that same Red r.oom leaden-footed, scowling, gloomy, where is he? Hurling defiance at your Uncle Joseph? Do you hear his voice ring out in clarion tones declaiming: "Mr. Speaker, I rise in my place to protest in tho name of my constitu ents against this infamous outrage this high-handed defiance of justice this amazing " Nothing of the kind. He sits surly In his seat or (and perhaps this is tho wisest pos sible course) retires to his office to write a constituent as follows: "I am much interested in the measure you urge, and it shall have my hearty support. I hope that in due time the wisdom of the house will enact it Into law." Meantime the show is going on in the house. Those members who have been told they will be recognized get up ln droves and shout, "Mr. Speaker!" Uncle Joe scarcely lets his gaze fall upon them. He looks at his little list and then he says, "Tho gentleman from Massachusetts" or "The gentleman from Missouri," as the case may be, and the measures proposed by the gentlemen .from Massachusetts and Missouri are thus allowed to begin the course that ends' in new laws. Now and then not very often, but now and then some shouting member whose intentions are not definitely known to the monarch of the house, may catch the speaker's eye. In such a case, the speaker may Inquire: "For what purpose does the gentleman rise?" The gentleman says that he rises for such and such a purpose. If the purpose for wnich the gentleman rises does not appeal to the speaker he will retort simply: "The gentleman will not bo recog nized for that purpose.' And the' gentleman is not; no, 'sir, neither then nor at any time whatever. Does the gentleman offer objection? No, and for the same reason that he offers none when the north wind doth blow and we shall have snow. It sometimes happens that this habit of looking at his little list and not at all at the various favored gentlemen yammering for recogni tion gets the speaker Into an embar rassing position. For example, the gentleman from Missouri has in the Redroom received the august per mission to call up a certain (very certain) bills or to offer a certain (very certain) resolution. Uncle Joe takes a squint at nis list ana through the yammering remarks: "The gentleman from Missouri!" Nobody responds. There are pres ent in the house a number of gentle men from Missouri but none of them has visited the Red room that morn ing, so none of them arises, uuuie Joe glares about the house and re peats a' trifle peevishly his observa tion: . ., "The gentleman from Missouri! adding his name. The gentleman from Missouri Is at that moment out in the house res- A $5000 farm that didn't cost a cent In fact, the owner got a cash bomis to boot! "W. B. Northrup, a Minnesota commission man, went to the Gulf Coast Country of Texas, last December, to contract for a lot of cabbages. At Chicago Gardens, three miles from Brownsville, one cabbage crop of 20 acres, on a 41-acre farm, looked so good to him that he bought tho entire farm, including the crop. He paid $125 an acre, the man who sold it agreeing to bring the crop to maturity, gather and deliver it on tho cars. Tho crop has just boon shipped; tho yield avcragod 2-4,000 pounds to tho aero, and brought from $1.75 to $2.00 per hundred over $8,000 for tho crop. As Mr. Northrup only paid $5,125 for the farm, ho now has tho farm, his original capital, and a handsome bonus besides. Mr. Northrup was fortunate It isn't often ono finds a man who is willing to sell his farm, after he has it under cultivation, for tho crop usually brings moro than the land. But thero is plenty of similar land in the Gulf Coast Country of Texas, not under cultivation. that you can buy for a trifle, compared with its earning capacity.
