Champ Clark, tha apeaker of the ho una of representatives, possesses no great reputation as s wit or humorist, yet In many of his speeches ha uaea figures that are marked with tha fraaranee of tha farm and the slanc of tha street. For example. In a heated colloquy during tha partisan strife of the last eonsrese he accused the republicans of Indulslnc In too much "hot sir and elsck-Jaw.-1 On another oceaaloe h denounced tot lobbyists who visited ths rapttol during a tariff session la behalf of tha various Industries interested In a proposed bill.

Senator Rayasr recently dec laired, with a vtdoug thump oa his sslf "Thar are two element la society. One la tha element that nss more appe tite thaa dinner, and the other the ele ment that has mors dinner thaa appe tite." . A score of years ago Private John Al len of Tupelo was elected to congress from Mississippi. Allen was anxious to secure a fish hatchery for hie native towa of Tupelo. Unable to persuade tha committee on appropriations of tha merit of the proposition, he Introduced In tha house aa amendment to the sundry civil appropriation bill carrying CO.OOft, sad. February 3t, IM. he rose oa the floor ts plead for Its adopt Ion. The towa of Tupelo was the subject of this eulogy. "It I were willing." he declared. In part, "to avail myself of all th tradi tions and many wall authenticated his torical auspicious, I might invest this subject with much more romantic Inter est. But I Propose to confine myself to wed authenticated facta. Ignoring such traditions as the one to tbe effect that, when Christopher Columbus 'had his fa mous Interview with Ferdinand sad Isa bella of Ppaia, he assured them that th all-wise Creator, creating a world tike this, was bound to have mad somewhere sear Its center such a pwee ss Tuparo. "la l&a th knightly Fuck e Los landed upon ths coast of Florida, and perverted history has It that hs started out to look for the fountain of youth and limitless gold fields, when in truth sad la fsct he really started to look for Tupelo. 'Many of you gentlemen have never been In Tupelo. I hop none of you en tertain any Idea of dying without going there. 1 extend you all sn Invitation to go with ms to College Hill and sea you ct our Tupelo sunsets. Come sad see one of our southern ailvery Tupelo moons. I think it Is the only place la the south where ws have the same beautiful moons we had before ths wsr. "I have often been asked about tha alas of Tupelo. Th tabulating machines of ths last census have not been able to work It out yet. but sufficiently extend ing the corporate limits of our towa wa can accommodate a population larger thaa tbe city of London. The truth Is that our lands about Tupelo have been so valuable for agrieuHural purr oats that ws have not yet yielded them ap for building a city as rapidly ss ws should have done. "While there are larger places than Tupelo. I do not think there is any ether place Just hke tt. Tupelo Is very Bear. If not axacun in th center it th world. Th h orison seems shout ths same dis tance la every direct los. "Before us Is a proposition to establish .there a fish hatchery. Why, str. ftah will travel ever land for miles to get Into the water we hsve at Tupelo! Thousands snd millions of unborn fish are clamoring to this congress today for an opportunity to be hatched at tbe Tupelo hatchers1, "Now, Mr. Chairman. I enly wish to to say that It there ts a member here who wishes to hsve his nam connected by future generations with those of Judas Iscartot sad Benedict Arnold tf fee wishes to have himself sad his posterity pointed out with scorn if he desires to be de spised fey men snd shunned by women let him vote sgalast this amenament and he will secure all this Infamous nou rtety." John Auen ts bow a prosperous planter of southern Mississippi, where be enjoys the contemplation of th fish hatchery won by his humor. Bis name remains enly aa a memory la tbe halls where statesmen tread. f Besie at allaaewata. Adam Bode, who represented the Eighth Minnesota district la the bouse, was one of tbe most populsr stump speakers and spellbinders of the pieetnt generation. Bia speeches were full of dry humor and bis droll manner of Illustrating his argu ments fey stories of ths day never failed to win the applause of his audiencas. A short time after he Jook the oath of office Beds won front rank among leg islative humorists by a eulogy upon ths republican party. Securing the recogni tion of ths chaftr he opened modestly, but soon had the house la an uproar. The last year witnessed two events of unusual Interest ths discovery of tha North pole by Or. Cook sad tbe revision of tbe tariff downward fey the senator from Rhode Island. Each In its wsy was a unique hoax." . The Only Chaaacey. Senator Chauncey M. Depew probably enjoyed the widest reputation as a wit of any maa m congress, yet hs pmatistl aot so much wit ss a talent for story teU tng. He was par excellence a racon teur, and In the cloak room was always a center of attraction. la his speeches Senator Depew never In dulged la those exchanges of repartee which characterised ths remarks of Sen ator DoUlver. nor la that sublime sar casm and ridicule that has brought fame to Senator Rayner. His speeches were al ways punctuated with stories taken from the stock which has made him the peer of American after-dinner speakers. During the last sssslrm of th Sixty, first congress, as Mr. DepeWs term was drawing to a close, he delivered a speech oa the popular election of senators which was typical of his public addresses. la this speech it eras that senator Depew re ferred to the progressive wing of ths re publics party as "the recently organixed Salvation army." , Upon another occasion, m ths course of a speech oa American amuse and tnstlta tioas. be stated that even the greatest of Americans were almost entirely unknown abroad. While la a dUtiruralahed gather ing In England, be remarked, hs bad com mented on the fsct that In Washington he lived la the very house where Daniel Webster had resided for six years while serving as secretary of state and later sa a member of the senate. A member of the English noblHty re plied: "Ah. Indeed most Interesting! Tour Webster was a most extraordinary maa. Ia England we have nothing to compare with your Webster, who, as 1 lean, was yoar greatest stslesmsn and orator, wrote a dictionai-y and was bung for "i'-g client." Washington Star.
