But He Wasn't Hired.

Senator Frank B. Brandagee tells .
story of a man who wanted to be .
trolley car conductor. "This man
looked hearty, polite and intelligent.
and the manager of the car barns
seemed to think well of him. After a
number of questions the manager
said: Well, what pay do you DESIRE?
The applicant gave loud laugh. Then
he dug the manager in the ribs and
said: oh, never mind about the pay,
boss. Just give me the job and I'll
have a car of my own in a week or
two Kansas City Star.

o'clock and Chief Clerk Barnard read the
journal Of the proceedings OF the first day.
The regular order of business OF the last
session was adopted.
Van Houten OF Colfax moved the speaker
appoint a committee TO select house EN-
ployes. The resolution was laid on the ia
BILE on motion OF Lee of Douglas. and on
motion OF Whitman the speaker was auth
orized TO select the employees.
Raper OF Pawnee introduced a resolution
the affairs OF the Congo Free State. In
which he spoke OF the inhuman treatment
accorded the natives by King Leopold. This
went over one day for action.
The chair appointed Tucker of Douglas,
Raper OF Pawnee and Henry OF Holt TO
confer with a committee OF the senate re-
garding joint session TO canvass the vote.
A recess was then taken until 1879.
Lieutenant Governor McGilton presided at
the Joint session. Secretary Goulding OF
the senate began reading the votes sent in
by the various counties. when a motion was
made and carried to accept the vote as GER
tilted TO the house by the secretary OF state.

Naturally, II an applicant for a petty posi-
ton had to face the expenditure Of money
for tickets both ways to and from Lin
coin, he would be sure of his ground be-
fore coming to Lincoln. The reduction I'm
the number Of place seekers is the one
ray of light in the pass situation for the
legislator. And. Mike Lee expressed IT,
Just think of the crowds that are waiting
down there in Omaha for a telegram or a
telephone message from the front"
The senate caucus Monday voted that
the majority members who had an elective
oficer credited to them would not be en-
titled to any appointive officers. but the
members who had no elective oficer would
be entitled to two appointive officers. II
is under this caucus rule the employees
