Noted Missouri Congressman Who R-
cently Died a Hera's. Death.
Representative. David Albaugb De
Armond of the Sixth Missouri district,
who recently died the death of a hero
In a vain effort to save the 'life of his
Jittle grandson in a fire caused by cross
ed wires that destroyed his home in
Butler; Mo., was one of the best known
men in congress; not only because, of
bis long service, , but. because of his
character and talents.' His death takes
from the Democratic' side its best sea
Boned veteran in acknowledged leader
ship. Only four men had served long
er continuously than De Armond, and
all of them 'are Republicans Cannon,
Bingham, Payne and Dalzell. On the
Democratic side, there were none of
longer service . than : De Armond and
only two Livingston of -.Georgia , and
Jones of Virginia-rwho served as long.
De Armond was probably" the fore
most parliamentarian on ' the Demo
cratic side of the chamber. The fact
that the Democratic floor leadership
never went to hiin was accounted for
by the fact that, despite his signal abil
ity and long service, . he' had an ex
ceedingly caustic tongue and spared
nobody when he . laid about him to
chastise friend or A foe. Democrat or
Republican. He had many admirers,
but, because of bis bitterness, not so
many friends. ;.: ;'; '-..!. - "-'
Mr. De Armond was the son of 'a
locomotive engineer. ;He was born at
Duncansville. - near. AJtoona, Pa., in
is!, was orougnt up on a farm, re
ceived a common school education, at
tended an academy at Hollldaysburg
and early, in life vent to Missouri ..
V Before coming to congress De Ar
mond had been a state, senator and
circuit judge in Missouri and commis
sioner of the state supreme court.
Perhaps the' most spectacular event
in. the congressional career cf Judge
De Armond was his personal Encounter
on . the floor -of the- house after' ad
journment w-$h John Sharp Williams,
his rival for the leadership of the
minority. y
The two men liad been at odds for
years. They kept up an appearance.
of amicable relations in the business
affairs of the house, as both occupied
places as floor leaders of the minority.
One afternoon In December ..Williams
took a seat besideDe Armond and be
gan to discuss; the matter' of a com
mittee appointment of one of De Ar
mond's colleagues froni Missouri. There
was a misunderstanding, Williams in
sisting that" De Armond had consulted
i.muj Uijttiii . hii flnnmnrmpnr i ttx ai.
V Sj iBvnd insisted that no such conversa
- Jtiv,, as "Williams sketched had taken
'Iscebut Wmiains said that he would
iftik lAi own way about it. ' .
v"'If ycrYrtpeat that statement I shall
have to bfand it as a lie," said De
Armond ' liis cold, imperturbable way,
: ''1 do repeat it," hotly returned Wil
liams.' "Ttfm you are a liar!" rasped
out- i'c Armond.
7r"Jf"i'ou don't mean that. Judge," said
f jpf'-Iiliams.
1 es, I do," said the determined De
Armoud. "You are a - liar!" : ...
- Both men were now standing. ' Wil
liams struck out and landed squarely
on De Armond's nose. : The latter re
plied with a blow that cut a gash un
der -Williams' eye They clinched, and
Lthe crowd of congressmen and at
taches that had' run up .separated the
two men. Both were small and light,
and little damage was done. There
was. talk of a Challenge, but friends
induced them to let the matter blow
over. -;,;-. - '-'.."... , i
. Judge De Armand was a student, and
his manner in debate was that of a
man who cared more for the truth and
logic of his reasoning thairfor stirring
the enthusiasm.of his listeners. -

the plans for the benefit -of their less
fortunate brothers and sisters.
To the girls of the auxiliary has been
intrusted the task of dressing the 2,000
and odd dolls that have been purchas
ed by their elders,, and this work is
keeping hundreds of little fingers busy,
while the boys are getting up amateur
circuses and other "stunts," the pro
ceeds of which are to go to swell the
fund for the giant Christmas tree.
