instead of Monday afternoon, was to
permit members who could not reach
their homes in one day to 60 home for
over Sunday
The gentlemen who opposed the reso-
luton were all animated by the high
ideals of duty to the state, their con

ly desire to work. The vote showed,
however, that majority OF the members
wanted to 90 home, the vote standing
Il5 in favor Of the resolution TO so

The joke Of the session in the House
came soon afterward, in the shape of
a resolution offered by Mr.. Roy of Bar
net, directing the sergeant-at-arms to
remove the draperies, curtains, he called
them, from the windows of the House.
Mr., Roy said that he offered this reso-
luton in the interest of economy; that
whereas il was necessary this morning
to use artificial light, If the draperies
were removed it would not that he had
no doubt that the people of Montpelier
were glad of the opportunity to sell the
artificial light, but here was a chance
for economy and he wanted the state
to take advantage Of it. The resolution
was very promptly voted down, amid the
laughter of the House. 1t was a refresh
ing incident in an otherwise dull morn
