Washington, Jan. C Speaker Can
non wroto a testimonial yestorday,
and, although It is framed In words
moro forciblo than any ovor employed
by him In an oratorical flight In tho
halls of congress, the chances nro that
it will bo used for advertising pur
poses. Sitting nt his desk, his bristling
board standing out nt right angles from
his face, tho speaker filled out a check
for a comfortable sum, thon turned
tho paper ovor and wrote:
"This check is in full paymont
both legal and moral, for CO volumes
of books called for In tho contract
with tho payoo. Tho books aro hot
worth a d , and aro high at that"
Tho Illinois statesman paused for
n momont rubbed his chin reflective
ly, and thon with Bpu'ttorlng pen con cen
tinued: "Wo nro novor too old to learn, but
tho way your gontlemanly agent camo
it ovor your 'Undo Joseph' Is worth
tho check."
With that the, speaker seized an en
volopo, directed It to a woll-known
publishing house, inclosed tho check
and sent th6 testimonial on Its way.
"Bring on tho oxploslon on tho lako
front," ho said to hla secretary. "I
