Tha Governor.s 0uilIs.

The governor OF this commonwealth
signs every bill with b quill. This isn't
because he is fonder Of that particular
kind Of pen, but it is rather in obedience
TO well established custom that has OBJ
tanned with the chief magistrates Of the
last decade. There are always q few
members Of the Legislature that have the
collectors passion, and requests are
regularly received by Private Secretary
Roads from lawmakers and others for
pens that the governor has used for
signing bills. Accordingly dozens Of
these quilts are purchased ever so often,
and the governor makes his signature
each time with new pen, which Is
carefully preserved and set aside for the
