Senate pages generally turn out better
than house pages because they are taken
care Of by their employers. The rule in
the senate is to ''take care OF 2 page who
shows himself worthy and capable. In
the senate pages are discharged on reach
ing the age of sixteen, ard they are then
gwen places in the folding or document

ate started out as pages. a conspicuous
example Of this class being old Capt.
Bassett, the white haired patriarch who
sits ut the left of the presiding officer.
lie was appointed a page through tho
influence OF Daniel Webster.
Old man Bassett and hiS boys make a

tionGte. II the pages Of the Capitol were
to tel all they know what commotion
there would be in the big building and
out Of it!
The pages have many other ways of
making money. They are sent out 10
buy cigars, chewing tobacco, gum drops,
bottles Of whisky and many other con-
gressional necessities and luxuries, and
they often "keep the change" Occa-
sionally they do an important piece OF
work for some lobbyist, and get fat fee
therefor. One paga l know has made
$500 during the past six months watch
ing and reporting on certain tariff mat
ters. Pages get up subscriptions for
the purchase Of popular speeches, have
the printing done at private Offices
cheaper than the government printing
Office rates and pocket the difference.
These bright boys absorb parliament
airy law. Often they hold sessions OF
their own after the real statesmen hare
gone home, with Johnny Jones for
speaker and Billy Smith for sergeant-at-
arms. Some Of the pages become so

the house that members consult them on
the forms OF resolutions ana reports.
One Of the s1nartest of the boys was
Chief PAGE Frank German. lie knew
not only parliamentary law but men,
and early in the session, when Speaker
Reed was counting many Quor1ms, he
stood by the speakers side, at the latter's
request, and pointed out the members
so that their names might be put down
IS present and not voting"
There was time when page man
aged the house Of representatives. In
1880 and '6l, when William Pennington,
Of New Jersey, was speaker, the recog-
nized authority on parliamentary law
about the Capitol was young Thad Nor
ris, then page and about 19y years old. He
knew ten times as much about the rules
and parliamentary laws as Mr.. Penning
ton did, and the speaker used to have him
stand near the chair as a prompter.
When Pennington did not know what TO
say or do-an occasion which arose about
once in Ave miRutes-the page helped

joying pretty good incomes for boys,
their habits are not always OF the best
Pages as q rule initiate the Iasn whom
they serve IN chewing tobacco, smoking
cigars and cigarettes, playing the races
and drinking beer. All the world has
heard Of the pages who came back 10
congress as members or seaators-Gor-
man OF Maryland. Townshend of nh-
nois, "3iu" Scott Of Pennsylvania and
others. The world has concluded. there
fore, that the pages path leads invari-
ably 20 fame or fortune. Unfortunately
this assumption is not warranted by the
facts
A majority OF the pages, particularly
those Of the house, turn oat badly. Mr..
David S. Barry, who rose from page
hood 90 be the accomplished Washing
ton correspondent Of The New York
sun, tells me that number OF his old
associates are IN jail, one or two in
inebriste asylums, and only few have
ever amounted to anything IN the world
zone OF the brightest boys of my day"
says Mr. Barry, "and the one Of whom
most was expected, l saw the other day
driving carriage. clad in q green coat
with big gilt buttons and yellow top
boots"
The trouble with pages appears to be too
much knowledge at an early age. What
they do not know at fifteen they think
they know, and the result OF this sort of
precocity is often bumptiousness and
disaster. Happily there are many ex.
ceptions TO this rule, as to all others.
Some of the pages now in the service of
congress attend night school regularly,
save their money and are preparing to
make names for themselves. One of the
most promising young lawyers in town
rode horse for several years between
the Capitol and the departments.
