As the moments waned the hilarity over
the recital of old time episodes in the city
room twenty years ago grew in volume.
Suddenly there came a terrific rapping and
pounding on the door of the adjoining room.
The high pitched voice of an excited or at

There was hush. One of the number tin

be impossible in the future for the Governor
to receive any VISITORS except heads of de-
