Is IS years of age at the beginning of a ses-

and few of the boys are not sorry when their
term has ended. Usually four of the boys
who are graduated from the pages position
at the beginning of a session are appointed
riding pages. Their selection depends on
their records for efficiency and fa%ithfulness.

$3.50 a day during the session of congress.
The riding page receives 50. so day the year
around and has a horse to ride. His duties
keep him out of doors a great part of the
time, carrying messages between the CAPT

but the serious business of the day does not
begin until noon, when the senate meets.
Before that time he arranges the files ofthe
Congressional Record and the bills and re-
ports on the desks Of the senators who have
been assigned to him. There are I6 pages

very much to do. The morning hours are
