None of the employees Of the state

this is the jolly Christmastide for
mickey" O'Connor has decorated the
car in very appropriate manner,
suggestive of the spirit of cheer and
good will which prevades the earth
at this season of the year.
There are large holly wreaths hung
about the interior of the car, and over
each door of the car are large punches
of mistletoe. The car presents a
very festive appearance.
The young ladies employed at the
state capitol are not so sure however,
that they appreciate the latter part
of the decorative scheme. When the
car was ready to- leave the capitol
Friday noon, very willing young men
were stationed at or near each en-
trance. The girls became extremely
timid as the reason for this became
known, but suddenly one OF their
group mustered up the requisite
courage and Immediately they charg-
ed in force with the result that the
young men were swept off their feet,
and the intentions of the moment
were not carried out.
1t was noted that when the down
