Before this distinguished procession reaches the sn-fcijctair northern door of the hall of the Hoese. Doorkeeper F. B. Lyon ef that body wilt enter the great cham fer by the center slate and formally an nounce to the Speaker the arrival of tho Senate. The Speaker will rife, his example bclnc followed by the 3& other members, In a body. All wW remain standing until the I'ppor House Js seattd. Previously 50 Kepresentatlves en the Democratic side, wttt have vacated their chairs In the first four rows to the Hcht ef the Speaker, sad will have been crowded In among the members Ir the remainder of the hall. If- amoni; th" general jwblle are aware ef the faot that the Democrats occupy the honor seats Ir both Houses of Con cress those on tbe right of the presiding officer. The Republican majority in re cent Cengres has ben so great, how ever, that IgMators of that faith have overrun the lienor sldo to a considerable i extent. J Beneath the large silk flag draped above the presiding officer's chair i President Pro Tern. Kry and Speaker Cannon w-lll sit aide by side, the form er, on the right, belag by rtatute the presiding offleor of the Joint session. Oengrees many years age spcclfled very rlearly as to who should preside on such an occasion, and perhaps the loaders of that day foresaw that a babel such as occurred a few weeks ago In the Colorado State Capitol might be witnessed In the National Houso on an occasion of bitter politi cal strife. The Colorado Legislature was in Joint session, performing for the state the same function which Congress w'.ll perform for the nation the ratiflcr.tion of the executive vote when th- dispute arose as to who wns the presiding officer of the Joint session, and when the Lieutenant-Governor and speaker endeavored to out pound each other with their gavels, while each contradicted the ruling of the other. How Morton Blocked Ceremony. The two mahogany cases will repose upon the Speaker's desk, the two keys being placed before Senator Frye. The ceremony will actually commence with the unlocking of the boxes by the President pro tern. In 1393 a hitch occurred at this stage of tho ceremony. Mr. Morton was then Vice-President. He put out his hand to take up the keys, but they were not in their tra ditional place and could not be found. He became uiorvous. He raised various sheots of peper upon his broad desk and peered beneath them. The Speak er, seated beside him. looked under the inkstand, but still no key, was to be found. 'The secretary, the clerk and various other attaches Joined in the seaich. the Vice-President growing more and more nervous every minute. The boxes were tried, but their locks refused to yield. It began" to look as though Gro'er Cleveland would have to be elevated to the Presidential chair by aid of an ax. The search on. in, about and under the desk was repeated, the corps of searchers having been greatly aug mented. By this time every Legisla tor on thc.,floor appreciated the humor of the difficulty and was laughing. The Vice-President finally commenced to fumble in his pockets. He searched those of his trousers, then those of his coat, going down to the very depths of his coat tails. Then he ran bis fingers Into his waistcoat pocket and brought forth the missing keys. Tbe mem bers of both Houses burst forth into a hearty round of applause, and the boxes were opened. "When the new boxes are opened at the coming Joint session there 'Will be revealed to the scribes craning their necks from the press gallery above the Speaker's desk, a number of large brown envelopes, each marked with the name of a state. They being placed before the President pro tem pore, he will rise, gavel In hand, and address the assemblage thus: 'This being the day and the hour appointed for opening the certificates and counting the votes of electors for President and Vice-President, the Sen ate and House of Representatives have met together pursuant to the Constitu tion and laws of the United States." He Jfill then take xv the brown packages in alphabetical order, each containing an Inner envelope sealed with wax. He will first break the seal on the envelope from Alabama and hand the certificate within to one of the four tellers, two of whom one Democrat and one Republican will previously be chosen from each house. The Republican teller appointed from the Senate will read at length the cer tificate of the vote of the state of Ala bama. Following precedents observed on former occasions", the tellers, hav ing observed that the certificates are in due form, will omit reading the others in full and. taking the states in alphabetical order, will announce the votes of each. "When Maryland is reached It will be found that the vote of that state is split, seven votes be ing cast for Parker and Davis and one that of Charles J. Bonaparte, grand nephew of Napoleon and grandson of the King of "Westphalia being for Roosevelt and Fairbanks. This split ting of the Maryland vote Is alleged to be due to a- misunderstanding of the ballots on the part of the voters last Noveraber- Thc votes of all other states will be "straight," although there is no law, save the unwritten rule of party loyal ty, compelling any elector to vote fot bis party candidates. Only once in American history, however, has an elector failed to vote for the nominee of his party. This was in the elec tion of 1820. when James Monroe re ceived rII of the electoral votes but one. This solitary ballot was cast against him by a New Hampshire elec tor of Monroe's own party, but was opposed, on general principles, to the unanimous election of a President. The secretary of the Senate will gather up each certificate after it is read by the fellers and handed to him by a page. .The votes of all tho states having been read and added by the tellers, the announcement of the result will bo made to the President pro tem., who will rise and say: The state of the vote for President of the United States, as delivered to the President of the Senate., is as fol lows: The whole number of the elec tors appointed t vote for President of the United States Is of which a majority is 233 Theodore Roosevelt, of the state of New York, has received for President of tho United States 336 votes, and Alton B. Parker, of the st4t. of New York, has. received I4Q. YO.te."1 A similar announceniefit or tnff vote for Vice-President will then followJ and. afterward the President pro teml pore will, make his formal declaratibr of the election- of Roosevelt and Fair banks In these words: The Formar Declaration. "fThls announcement of the state of th vote by tho President of the. Senate is bj law a sufllcleat declaration that Theo dare Roosevelt- of the State, of Ne York, is elected President of the Unite States, and that Charles W- Falrban of the State of Indiana. 1? elected Vlcfj President of the United States, teach fi the term beginning March 4. 1505, oz.C -ri: be entered, together with; a list oC tJi votes, -on the journals: of the Senate and of the House of Representatives. ' Amid the applause from the ltoor and galleries Senator Frye will bring fci3 gavel down upon the Speaker's desk, the r Senate will march back to its chamber. and, five minuteslater, the .House win have again settled down to its routlrw of business. The entire -ceremony will consume about an hour and twenty min utes. Ths Electoral Commission. Such has been- the ceremony which, since the- Republic was born, has beea sufficient to canvass" all of the electoral votes, except those cast in the famous Hayes and Tlldcn campaign. So uncer tain was the result of that election that early In the "following Winter thought ful men foresaw much trouble at the final counting of the votes of the electoral colleges by the President of the Senate, whose authority In the matter had al ready been questioned. Congress there upon passed a bill providing for tha meeting of both "houses in the hall of the House of Representatives on February 1. 1ST7. to there count the votes. In case of more than ono return from a state, its vote was to be decided by a commission of 15 members five from each house, to bev appointed by oral vote, and four Asso ciate Justices of the Supreme Court, who should select a fifth Justice to sit with t&e'm- The entire commission was to be presided over by that Justice of the five who had seen longest service. The bill was passed and the commission assem bled to the House of Representatives on February 1. It consisted of eignt nublleans and seven Democrats, the Justice selected by the fout appoln! Justices being a Republican. They pas: upon the legality ot the returns" from dfs nnted stateav Tho joint session of Con gress met on March 2 to witness the final canvassing of the vote by the President of the Senate, who announced the elec tion of Hayes and "Wheeler. The crisis reached in the counting of the electoral vote in 1ST7 by the electoral commission caused so much! dissatisfac tion, however, that Congress attempted to remedy the apparent defects of the old law, and on February 3, 1SST ten years afterward the , present law was passed. It provides that the states may deter mine contests of their electoral votes. According to precedent, tbe Presidert of the Senate Is presented every four years with the mahogany boxes contain ing tho electoral votes before they are counted. These cases he keeps as sou venirs of the ceremony. Hence new boxes must be made quadrennially, and, bear ing in mind their ultimate dispo'sal. the Congressional cabinet-maker applies his utmost skill. JOHN ELFRETH "WATKINS.

There was a feller in town who claimed to be a horse trainer. No, not a buster, but one of theso here follera that trains 'em by kind ness. I reckon he'd come out "West to educate us savages In how to train horses. We heard 'bout him. and went 'round the first night he opened up his tent. He had some horses that he said were bad, and he proceeded to train 'em for us. But. say. they were pet deer to what our broncs are. He had a ring inside his tent and seats all round it for the people to sit on. It bein' .the first night and nobody knowln' what kind of a flim-flam fake it wae. the tent was crowded. I just want to tell you. It takes a. big bunch of patience to sit and watch a guy like that try to show you how to run your own outfit; Them kind of tricks might do with Eastern horses, but, why, say. It he'd tried them on some of our broncs he'd have looked like a prairie dog town after a stampede had passed over it. But we didn't start nothin. "We just set still and let him play his hand out. "Finally he brought out a horse that looked like a bronc 'Ladies and gen tlemen,' he says, 'I've got a horae here that I must confess baffles my skill. I bring hlnr out just to show you that there are some horses that are like some people plumb crazy. This horse minds neither brutality nor kindness. He's Tvhat you men of the plains call an outcast outlaw, I mean. I've tried all the methods that I am master of. and I ain't been able to break him" to either harness nor saddle. "Well, sir, , he did look like a bad one when you looked at him close. Ho was coal black, with a bar "X" brand ed on him, bald faced, white footed and cammy eyed. He was 'bout 15 hands high, and built like a bear for strength and an antelope for quickness. 'Looks like a. wolf, don't he?' I said to the kid who was with me. But the kid kept mum. " "Now," said tha feller, 'Just to ahow that I believe no method can't succeed where mine can't. I'm goln' to offer fifty dollars to the man that will ride this horse.' "Woll. boys, you ought to have seen that kid I Like a shot, he jumped up out of hl3 seat and went scramblln and jumpin and tumblin over people's heads, just tearln his shirt to get down there. You see. he thought every feller in that tent was goln' to jump at that fifty dollars, and he was dead set on gettln' there first. Nobody else had moved, but the kid didn't know that. He thought we were all hot on his trail. "The kid finally got hjs, saddle on him, and after a little maneuverln' swung up. "Well, the horse was aa outlaw, all right: you could see that by the way he went for the kid for 'bout six jumps. Then ali of a sud den he quit, and the kid rode him round as gentle as a -sick pup. "We learned afterwards that the kid had busted the horse th Spring before when he was at the Bar X, and the horse knowed his boss. But he was an outlaw; nobody but the kid ever did ride that horse. Oh. no, the kid never peeped 'bout it. I don't know that he knew it. But if he had, that wouldn't have made no difference with him." "Did the kid get his fifty?" I asked. "You never heard of a horse trainer bein tied to a black, bald-faced Bar X horse's tail and drug 'cross the prairie, have you?" "No, why?" "Well, you would most likely have heard of it if the kid hadn't got his fifty. "What do you suppose the rest of us fellers were there for, anyhow? Tho kid was our friend." Forensic Jocularity. Green Bag. "Your honor." observed Mr. Bailey, "my unfortunate client" "There the court Is with you," gently interrupted the Judge, with a grim smile. And the future Senator lost his case. be got through, the bronc would look Mke tbe inside ef a slaughterhouse, blood bM over. "Nebraf-ka Bill had one of the best tricks I ever saw. He was short and stocky, ati stout aa a grizzly. He'd ride UK the bronc was 'bout ready to quit. Then he'd head him toward the crowd, if they was standin round watcbln', and when he got clooe to tbem he'd yank the b rone's head up from between his feet, give hire a sort of a see-saw twist, and threw him fiat on his side, while he him self would Just kind of atop out of the stirrups as the bronc went down, and would stand on the bronc's head to bold him down. Buffalo Bill tried to get him for that show of hi that he took round e ho win' teaderfeet how It's dene, but Ne braska said you'd never catch him herdin with Injuns and mavericks. Anyhow, he'd rather stay where they was horses that could buck he said. "Course I'm talkia 'boot busters that rede sUck.' By that I mean they didn't tie their stirrups together, nor put a buckin' roll or tbe saddle, nor hook their wears hi the cinch. I'm not denjin' that aneb things Is pretty handy to have when you're siitta' straddle of buzzsaw. for tbat what a backla' bronc Is; but I am jin that balance la the thing that aoants In ridin. and that's what rid In' 'Mick moans, ridin by keepin' your bal ance. "But the lad that could top off the whole let wts Kid Lee. I've Just been worktn up to him while tellin you 'bout 3"exas Tem. Curt "Wheelan and Nebraska BlU. They were mighty good riders and cos id ride broncs thafd make other men bile leather in three jumps. But Kid Lee could ride anything that wore hair. I must tell you 'bout him. "One Spring day, when I was foreman of the Bar V ranch, a young feller came ridin' up and asked for a Job. "We were, workin" over a big bunch of horses that we'd just rounded up, and I needed all the men with me, so I hired this kid to do the work round the ranch. I gave him a steady old horse to use. 'cause I sized him up as bein green and awkward 'bout ridin. He worked all right, though I could see by the way he always watched us ride off that he'd rather go with ua than liang 'round the ranch. "We were workin" near enough to come In for din ner, and this kid In a quiet way began to ask the boys "bout the horses, which were the bad ones and so on. He'd not say much at one time: so he didn't rouse sus picions of what he was up to. Nebraska Bill was with me then, ami he was ridin a bruto that was sure vicious. One day the kid asked me whose pinto that was. " "That's Nebraska's,' I said. 'You don't want to fool with that horse, kid. He'll kill you sure. Nebraska Is the only man that can stay on htm two minutes.' "Well, I didn't think nothin more about It and went In to dlnnec "While we wao eatla" we heard a big yellln and bawlln' out near the corral. "We all rushes out. and I'll be scalped for an Injun if thero ain't that locoed kid ridin Nobraska's pinto. The horse Is standln first on his ears, then on his tail, buckln and pltchln and swappln ends every third jump, and bawlln and just spllttln his hide to get' that kid off- And the kid la settln up there slappln the pinto with bis hat And yellln like a Sioux Injun on a spree. He was a big, loose-Jointed, slab- sided kid, anyhoW. and he is just fioppin' all over that horse from his withers to his tall, but he don't come off, not much. He's havln the time ot his life. We just stands still and watches the show. And, would you think It? that ornery-Iookln' kid rode that plnto out Nebraska was some sore, 'cause, you see, he'd been pridln' himself on being the only one In the outfit who could ride him. and here comes this dough-faced kid and ridea him better than Nebraska ever dreamed of. with no quirt, no spurs, and might as well had no bridle for all he used It. ' 'Kid, I say. when the pinto quits and he gets off, you come out with us this afternoon. Anybody that can ride like that Is too good to be a cook's flunkey.' "Well, sir, he was the best man on a buckln' horse I ever saw. Ho could ride any of them. He never got thrown, and he could come mighty near makln' a horse do what he wanted him to. He wasn't graceful and pretty In his ridin" like Texas Tom, and he never did get that way. but when he put a leg over a horse he was pure on there to stay. He didn't give a darn what the horse .did. he'd go right on with his work. He was the only, man I ever saw who could use a rope when his horse was buckln. Ho was Just so all-fired limber that the jolts didn't Jolt him at all. "And the best thing 'bout the kid was that he didn't get stuck up none 'bout his ridin.
