ALLEN WALL PAPER h PAINT CO. Wit ind Humor of "PRIVATE" JOHN ALLEN. J t ( A' FT EH sixteen years of serv ice, during which time h en Joyed the reputation of being the wit of the nntlonnl bouse of representatives. i i rivnoi jouh a. 'IN Allen of Tupelo. i$JiJ Miss., voluntarily retired to the more lucrative If less conspicuous vocation of the law. The memory of his stories and humor still survives In the national capital, whore few men have been more popular. The story of the way Allen got his title of "Private" la still worth telling, though the incident happened over twenty years ago. It was when be Hint ran for "congress. His opponent was a General Tucker, and the two campaigned together. The general at one meeting told the crowd how he had eared their town during the war and grew particularly eloquent In describ ing his sleeping in a tent the night be fore, the battle. Alien, who was not within a hundred miles of that battle, rejoined lu his Inimitable manner: Frlonds ami Fellow Cltlen-H' nil true what OmTiil Tucker tokl you about his stopping In his tent that nltiht before the buttle. 1 know till about It, for I was guardian that tent all lilKht long In Hie cold and wet on picket. And now I Just want to say to all of you who wore gen erals In tho war and slept at nlRlits In your swarded tents, like Oeneral Tucker, you veto for him. Hut all you fellows that guarded the generals' tents In the wet and cold, like me, you vote for Pri vate Allen. That speech gained Allen his sobri quet and his election at one and the same time. One of Mr. Allen's moat famous speeches In congress was delivered lu tho summer of 1WMI, when Speaker Roed and Major McKluley were both candidates for the Republican presi dential nomination and ns a conse quence were saying little on public questions. Allen began by stating that there had beeu considerable comineut In the newspapers respecting the somewhat unusual silence which had character ised him In this session. "But, Mr Speaker." he continued, "there ha beeu little In this session of congress to Inspire a Chrlstluu man to be lo quacious. 1 am not the only one who has been silent in these days. There are many of us leaders who are not talking much lately." Mr. Allen said tho Republicans were I eviuiMTiy going io m-kk-i ii dldate n wan who had the qualities for which the colonel of a cavalry regi ment selected animals for his troops, "lie must turn quick and go fast" On a later oceaslou Allen had dllli culty lu securing recognition. When he finally got the Boor, he said In a deeply Itijtired tone: "There Is au cviileut disposition on tho part of syiuebody to suppress my impassioned oratory. I wish to assure the speaker ami the house thut It Is not my purpose, and I have no desire by my fervid and persuasive eloquence to overporsuado tills house Into the adop tion of auy unconstitutional or hurtful measure. Sir, I would scorn to take any such advantage of the weakness of the house." One of the most amusing speeches "Private" Allen ever made In the house was In support of the bill to tax oleo margarine. Representative Tillman of South Carolina, brother of Senator Ben Tillman, had claimed that oleo is su perior to many brands of butter and that It was an Injustice to the poor man to prevent his buying it In re ply Allen told a story of an old negro who had eaten a bos of axle grease, thinking It cheese. Upon being asked how he liked it the old man replied: "Fo' (3od. boss, dat was de ransom est chetse I eber has eat yet." "Now, Mr. Chairman," commented Allen, "I have no doubt that If a prop osition were pending here to prevent the sale of axle grease for cheese the gentleman from South Carolina would deliver us a scientific lecture and try to persuade us it was much better and more wholesome than cheese and that it would be a great outrage on the la boring man to suppress the fraud." At a banquet given by a millionaire senator one evening Allen hesitated as he was entering the magnificent din ing room and then remarked to his partner: "My dear young lady, let us pause a moment or two. I doubt If I can re strain my feelings." Thero seemed to be trouble on his face, and the lady said: "Why, Mr. Allen what is the matter with you?" "I am sad," was his reply. "For what reason?" "Ob, it makes me sad to look at this room. It reminds me so much of my own dining room at Tupelo." Those who knew poor Allen's finan cial circumstances could appreciate the point of his Joke. 1AT h W b ; I t -Hi Astoria Hardware Co., 113 12tii St. I Fisher Bros, CtoMMa?
