Thsa there Is Senator Rayner of
Mary land. The treqneatly rises la the
mora august senate to express la crisp
language his views ea Ufa and tts Issaes.
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.
