of the House. because excited colloquys
frequently occur and scenes of confusion,
In which dozen, and some times forty,
mem bers are talking al the same time, and
every word must be taken. During the
most exciting scenes that have ever oc-
CURED. on the floor of the House official
stenographers have stood by with their
notebooks and pencils in their hands, taking
down the words of fury and the clamor of
the disputants without allowing their own
pulse-beats to be quickened in the slightest
degree. No man who is susceptible to ex-
element is competent to perform the du-
ties.
In the House the entire force of five ste
nographers is always on duty, and they
succeed each other at short intervals AS
soon as one is relieved he goes Immediately
to the copying room in the story below the
Hall of Representatives, and reads his notes
as rapidly as possible into a monograph.
AS soon as he has finished he returns to the
floor. The record is taken from the pho
nograph and duplicate copies are made by
woman typewriters. One copy is sent to
the government printer and the other Is
filed for reference Il necessary. Members
of the House are allowed to correct their
own speeches, and often do 1t with great
freedom, but no man is permitted to alter
what any of his colleagues is reported to
have said.

A Puzzled Student.

A colored man came into the Congress
sional Library the other day and told one
of the attendants that he wanted to see
law book. He didn't know exactly what
law book he wanted, but one of his neigh
bors was threatening to sue him. and he
was anxious to read up the authorities
so that he could understand his rights.
The librarian sent for copy of Every
Man His Own Lawyer" and suggested
that perhaps he would be able to find
what he wanted in that. The man took
the book with a sigh of relief and sat
down at one of the desks where he re-
NAMED for an hour or more turning over
the pages in a puzzled and anxious way
Then he returned with the book open at
the title page and called the librarians
attention to the fact that it was the fifth
edition.
Mebbe the first edition is a little
easier he said, IF you could let me see
that. I amt been gettin on very well
with this one"
