ESPECIAL TO THE PREss.J
Augusta, January 12.-The Maine
legislature is ready for business. It's joint
standing committees and its Senate and
House committees have been made up.
So if the polo craze does not invade the
State House there is every prospect that
the law mill will soon be grinding.
Minor "details have been attended to even
to the distribution of postage stamps to
the members that they may SEND to their
friends the newspapers containing
mention of their doings. The clerks,
secretaries and stenographers of the two
branches each come in for $40 worth of
stamps ike the members.
