scoop shovel in his had, fed the furn-
ace of the capitol building with the
most expensive fuel that has been
burned in them for some time.

Treasurer Block stood by and assisted
while Gov. Van SAINT shoveled in the
feul, which would make the coal bar

will not be allowed to enter the bag
gage rooms without a warrent.
