All is in readiness for the firemen's IS

Is nearly certainty that in the
neighborhood of $50 citizens will
make the trip from the county. II
the usual last minute'crowd puts
in its appearance, the train will land
in Golden with at least three hun
dred. II you want OF enjoy the hos
pitality of one of the finest little
cities in the state, this is n grand
chance. Buy you ticket for yourself
and wifey-if single, for your best.
Bear in mind the price-$1.20. and
the time of leaving-6:45. The train
on the return trip will arrive in Cen
tral at 6 or $3.50 Sunday morning.

They imagine that, unless for stray
lobbyist now and then, they are never
disturbed from their arduous' duties
OF lawmaking. Such is far from the
case and the principal harassers of
out national representatives are, to
great per cent. women. These fem
mime time wasters 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 senator's.
In each Of these rooms there Is .
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 ard tell her whom they
wish to see and she takes their card
and. writing instructions on 1t, 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
When the legislature at Washing
ton is in full session the members
are generally very busy and absorbed
in the nations business. II they are
fighting for a measure which is of ma
tional import they have very little
time to be explaining difficulties and
arranging little minor matters for un-
reasonable women who imagine that
their little trouble is the only one in
the world and should therefore be ad-
1usted at once. Just at present both
! houses are busily engaged with meas
rres which are vastly important to
the whole country; they have little
time to spare and yet II one were to
stroll through the capitol today he
would find that little waiting room
crowded with women who are hiled
with that unconscious >presumption
that encourages them to protrude

expense of the nations most import
ant business. When the cause Of
"Women's Rights" come to its own It
will be a toss-up between the nations
business and the .angled affairs Of .
pink tea or bridge party.
One Of the old gags that the mem
bers work on callers whom they de-
sire to dodge is. when the page comes
to them with call. they move to 4
vacant seat and send out word that
they are not in their seat. The page
who has to deliver this message.
which is not a lie. generally comes in
for trouble. as oftentimes the caller
goes to the gallery and, seeing that
the member is on the floor. goes back
to the unlucky page and vents her ire
on him. The congressman. who are
not without human instinct, generally
reward the page for his trouble. This
"Female-caller" nuisance is not a new
one and while women continue to b
unreasonable the waiting rooms of the
capitol will always be filed.
