A pleasant loafing place it is for the
the rurnps, On the top floor of the Electric
block. The chairs are comfortable and
high backed, 30 that when the heels are ON
the desks, the head may rest easily on the
back Of the chair. Such a position has n
tendency to put the rump mind in a reflect
i've mood and is the easiest way Of earning
per diem yet discovered. When tired of
this. there are the daily and weekly papers
Of the state to be found on each desk. Pens.
ink. plenty of paper and postage stamps
are supplied to all. Considerable time may
be passed AVA in using up these supplies in
an effort to convince constituents that the
republican party il saving the country from
ruln.
AS a sort of an introduction to these di-
yesterday the Pumps went
through the form of considering Il set of
rules. They had these same rules last win
Now they are brought to light once
more and being tinkered with. After get
ting tired they all voted to take a rest until
10 this morning, which is the hour set when
an adjournment is moved.
