With the Boy Pages in the Senate and House

Baltimore and Thomas p. Denham, jr.. of
Jacksonville, Fla.
Being much larger than the Senate.
with many more members To look out for
and more ground to cover. the House is
allowed forty-four page boys. and in age
they are the seniors of the Senate pages.
while their pay is just the same. House
pages must be between the ages of FOUR
at Q o'clock each day and stay until the
House adjourns. They place the copies
of the Record on the desks of members.
keep the desks in order and are at the
beck and call of members whenever
wanted. They are under the immediate
supervision of a chief page on each side
of the House. Some of them are assigned
to duty as telegraph pages and others as
telephone pages. but most of them are on
duty on the floor. The House pages are
appointed on the recommendation OF
members by the head doorkeeper, who
has general supervision of the boys Cen
orally the member who has secured a
boys appointment will look after his
here, and it has happened that a member
has sent home boy who fell into bad
ways and could not be brought under dis
cipline. There is not such large proper
ton of the District boys in the House as
there is in the Senate. They come from
many states, but some of the more dis
tant states are not represented.
1t is doubtless a fact that the boys in
both houses of Congress are under closer
supervision than was the case at one
time. 4 few examples opened the eyes
of the authorities to what dangers might
confront boys far from home without the
refining influences that are irseparable
from mothers love and care. While
the restraint is not irksome. il is designed
TO be at least wholesome and for the en-
tire good of the youths who may very
likely grow up to he themselves makers
of laws and rulers in the land.
Without doubt it has been great trial
to most of the youngsters To be deprived
of their vacations for such a long time
The call of the woods and fields is
strangely insistent TO youth. Every nor
NAL, healthy, manly boy yearns to gel
out in the open-to swim, ride. shoot, sal
or disport himself in the water. To be
confined within even marble walls cannot
compensate for the freedom of the fields
and SO the page boys are happy at last
in the prospect Of unlimited enjoyment
for time and a rest from the cares
which sit but lily at best on young shoul-

death he mounted the stars of gold con-

at the golden gate.
But St Peter, frowning heavily. stuck
his head out of the wicket and pointed
down.
SO, very much astonished and panied,
Ira Slick descended to the lower regions.
He came to a black gate from which
flames and sulphurous smoke spouted.
hend stood at the entrance, a fiery tri-
dent upright in his hand like a spear.
WHAT are YOU doing down here, Ira

I'm sure l don't know said Ira,
