STATE HOUSE.
Two Light "reminiscences Of Bank
Examiner Undertake.
Danger Of the Fireprooi Section in Case Of a
Fire.

Up in the office of Bank Examiner Tim
berlake, the other day. an oak case that
has recently been made by Mr.. Stone, the
Capitol carpenter, for the accommodate
ton of the department as locker was
being examined and its good Workman
ship remarked upon.
THAT case reminds me of one that used
to be in one of the halls at the Augusta
House several years ago." remarked MIR.
Undertake. 1t was just about the size
of door. One night, one of the legisla-
tors left call with the clerk so that. he
could eat breakfast and catch the $50
train. After he had gone to bed, few of
us moved the case over SO that it covered
his door and the casing completely. The
next morning the clerk sent bell boy
up to call the man, telling him to call the
man in No. AZ. The boy inspected all the
doors and failed to find the number He
went back and reported to the clerk that
there was no such a number. He was
sent back again, but was as unsuccessful
as at first.
1.-The clerk thought this was very odd,
SO he went in search of the room. AT
first he could not locate the room, then
he found it behind that cabinet. The
man was awakened in time to catch his
train, but he haa no breakfast and the
way he had to hurry to make connections
broke all records
THAT also reminds me-" continued MIR.
Undertake, "of another little incident in
connection with the calling of men by
the clerk. There was a gentleman well
known in State politics who came to the
hotel to stop over night at this same ses-
sion. He was to stay but few hours,
SO the boys thought they would stay up
with him and have a good time. 1t was
in the small hours of the morning when
all were ready to turn in. Someone sug-
gested that the gentleman whom I will
call Smith, stay in his room over night,
