Show Getting a Reputation. There is a desk In the senate particularly par-ticularly convenient as a place from wMch to make speeches. It Is next to the aisle and almost In the center of the chamber, and affords an opportunity opportu-nity for the speaker to make everybody every-body hear. At least a dozen senators, according accord-ing to the Washington correspondent of the St. Louis Star, have borrowed this desk when they had special utterances utter-ances to deliver to the senate. This led, not long ago, to a mild protest from its legitimate occupant. "I am . perfectly willing to give up my desk," said he, "but I am afraid people will think that the same man Is talking all the time. I don't want to get the reputation of constantly filling the senate with words." Youth's Companion. |
