Lunch Time Unauthorized.

When asked regarding the hours of la
Dor in the government departments Mr..
Harlow said the law required not less than
seven hours daily, but it had been a prac-
tice in the departments to allow a half
hour for lunch out of this time. He did
not think this practice was authorized by
the law and he did not think half hour
for lunch could be considered a part of
the hours of labor provided in the law.
When asked how many employees of the
government actually work seven hours a
day, not including the half hour for lunch,
Mr.. Harlow submitted a statement show
ing that 1O,0S0 employees are required To
work only six and half hours a day.

their goods and show them tc

cheerful example of ingenuity in
making the best of it, is to be seen at

of the legs. In his active DAYS the in
valid was great fisherman, and, as his
wife is old and feeble, too, it has been
the old fisherman's fancy to rig up this
pole and set it for bites. They come in
the shape of the morning and evening

was SO overjoyed when he did land II

the rest of the day. The cold spell has
bothered him a little, but when last
seen, during the recent high cold winds
he had heavy fur cap pulled down over
