They Imagine that, unless for a stray
lobbyist now and then, they are never
disturbed from their ardwous duties
of lawmaking. Such is far from the
case and the principal harassers Of
out national representatives are, TO a
great per cent. women. These fem
mime time MASTERS are women Of all
classes and sorts and represent every
variety of life from the poor woman
who wants government position for
her sickly husband to the home slater
who merely wishes to call on the
member from her part Of the country.
In the capitol there are Two rooms
for these women callers, one for those
wishing to see the congressman and
another for those who arc looking for
the senators.
In each of these rooms there Is a
young woman who takes charge OF
the callers. The young woman In
charge Of the Congress waiting room
has the most trouble, for the callers
are more numerous and more bother
some. AS they come In they go to
her desk and tell her whom they
wish TO see and she takes their card
and, writing instructions on II, sends
1t into the representative desired
The pages who carry these cards
back and forth are generally kept
very busy and often come In for ugly
call downs from disappointed callers.

One of the OLD gags that the mem.

Treasurer Of GalIatin County Admits
Taking $4,000.

Bozeman. A respected citizen OF
Bozeman, for fourteen years a public
official, Clyde G. Corbley, county treas
urer of Gallatin county, confessed
defaulter to the extent of $4,000 and
it is possible closer investigation will
swell this amount. The shortage in
the county's funds was discovered by
Deputy State Examiner Horslky, OF
Helena.
Mr.. Corbley was placed under arrest
by under-sheriff George Battenfolder.
The prisoner was taken before Justice
of the Peace w. Y. Smith, and waived
the reading of the information and
entered a plea of not guilty, the plea
he explained, being a matter OF form
to expediate matters in getting the
case before the district court.
II took the money and am guilty OF
a felony" said the prisoner, "and I
shall change my plea to one of guilty
in the district court. l only hope they
will get through with the court pro-
ceedings as soon as possible, as l
want to go to Deer Lodge and start
serving time, the quicker the better.
"The strain has been awful and am
anxious to get away from those who
have known and trusted me-"
County Treasurer Corbley's pecula-
lions covered period of eleven years,
according to his own statements and
the findings of the state examiner.
The money was taken in small sums
