He Was All Spraddled Out, Mad and Fighting WASHINGTON. — "Silver* Alec Falconer— that's what they call him out in the state of Washington, though bis honest-to-goodneas same, as given in — -- - — ■ — ' vw . — ib j a. Falconer — landed Into & debate in the house the other day all spraddled out, mad and

fighting, even though this is his first term. Mr. Heflln of Alabama, the wit and story teller or tbe bouse, had said some unkind things aboftt the suffragists, as is his wont. He had suggested that all males who believed in woman suffrage ought to be attired In skirts. NowMfr. Falconer, Progressive with a large P. Is s representative at large from a state which contains many woman voters. "I want to observe." said he, severely. In reply to Mr. Heflln; "that the mental operation of the | average woman In the state of Washington, as j compared to the ossified brain operation of the : gentleman from Alabama, would make him look like a mangy kitten In a tiger fight." which for a new member. Js some flight of oratory, especially

When directed at the golden-tongued Heflln. s. "The average woman In the state of Washington," went on Mr. Falconer. "knows more about social economics and political economy in one minute ai than tbe gentleman from Alabama has demonstrated to tbe members of the °s house that he knows in five minutes." * And Mr. Hefiln didn't have a word to say In Teply. 11 From all of which one might gather that Mr. Falconer Is Inclined to be peevish. Far be It from him to be anything of the sort. He has a sunny terna. per, a sweet and gentle disposition Until sotne one treads on the tails of his at coat— and he wears his coat tails long— he Is as Inoffensive as a man can well rt be. but when he gets into a scrap be Is a bearcat of Although only forty-three years old, Mr. Falconer has snow white balr. j b- maybe due to early piety, for. though born In Ontario, he was reared in the ! lumber camps of Michigan, which are noted for their Intense religious fervor | ct Gut In Washington Mr. Falconer has been going to the legislature for tbe | I past nine years. For two years he was speaker of the house. No man was I ever more popular. That is testified by the fact that the regular Republicans •it. | out there insist that he Is more of a real regular Republican than some who ; -2 ! carry the banner, while the Progressives assert that he is more progressive , — than T. R. himself A man who can get by with that reputation is going some ( | Hence the name of "Silver" Alec. The name goes two ways, as they say 1* to the west. It refers to his hair and his tonge as well. — : He Broke Into Print With a Resounding Crash ad /v ONTRARY to the Impressions which the Aayman may have, the bouse of ee L representatives is a body prone to occasional levity that reaches on occa £ slons the level of practical Joking and causes mil-' »>——«•- slons the level ot practical jusiur nuu .....

tive Roberts of Nevada, among those blessed witl the divine sense of humor, told this one not lon( ago to show how mirth can survive even the Con gressional Record. "There was a member In congress who had e I great weakness for introducing startling resolu ! Hons. He gloried In the fact that every time hi brcke Into print he broke In with a resoundinj ' crash. 'j "One day he introduced a violent resolutlot | doing away with something or othe^ After It hat gone to the table one of the veterans of his part; | slid over to his chair. ij , " *' wouldn't Introduce that and fight for Iti I passage,' he confided. | i " 'Why not?" demanded the Irate member, bris

| tllng Instantly. " Because,' replied the veteran, 1 understand that a resolution will be ' brought in to expel -you from the house if you push that." ; "That was enough for the fiery' member. He Jumped to bis feet and in a loud voice demanded the immediate consideration ot his resolution Then while the house, except those members aware of the Joke perpetrated by the veteran, stared In astonishment, the fiery member thundered: "'I know what you want to do. I dare you. Expel me! Expel me!' "And it wasn't until the story came out that the members understood the fiery congressman's apparently Insane request." This Was, Indeed, - an Embarrassing Situation AiFTER a tariff debate In the senate recently the conversation drifted to the way in which the party In control, by exercising its power, frequently will omhei-rBaa it«eir Senator Norris of Nebraska was in the party. ••I ro.lt " ..Id he "the atnrv of a certain vest-

ern senator serving some time back. He was denounced as a violent radical, and bis speeches finally became so vltrldlic that the Republican . leaders took steps to head him off. Consequently, j whenever he arose and asked that a speech be , inserted in the Record there was objection. "One day tbe senator arose Impressively and - began to real some ■pcuprents which appealed to ; the Republicans as belh® entirely too radical. Of ; course, they couldn't stop him while he was reading. But at the end of IB minutes he paused and ! 'asked leave to Insert the remainder of the docu- j went tn the Congressional Record. , "Instantly about the whole Republican side. ; which had been itching in its seats, arose as one 1 man and objected. U.U. gu;ov.w.

'Very weu. Mr. president,' said the senator. There Is objection from I the Republican side and I will withdraw my request that the remainder or this document die Inserted. But 1 would like to remind the senators that this doc ' ' uaent, to which they so seriously object. Is from the pen of that Immortal I Republican— Abraham Lincoln!" This Writer Worked for Pay and Not for Glory I N the bouse cloak room the other day some one heard Speaker Clark telling j a good story about two members. It seems that thefe flourished here In ; I a few years ago a literary bureau which furnished writers and sneaker* . town tew years as" a —

with facts or even whole sermons and speeches line of "dope" was guaranteed to fit anything from a Chinese wedding to a Masonic funeral. Some of the congressmen availed themselves ot this chance to drink of the waters of learning without the trouble of even getting a dipper, and the bureau flourishing, turning out productions of all kinds and sorts at will. Tbe same bureau employe would write a violent attack on tbe tariff bill, and -hen. in a few hours, he would train his guns on his late friends. Like the Hessians, the writer worked for pay. not glory. But om day he met his Waterloo. It seemed that two members of congress bad ordered speeches on exactly tbe same subject. - unknown, of course, to each other. These speeches were 01 course, ui wtu uuici. *««« - — -
