Representative Anderson was fined a box of oranges yesterday for the larceny lar-ceny of the Speakers gavel On going to the rostrum Speaker Hull missed his hammer and announced that It had been stolen Mr Done moved that the desks be searched and the mnn In whose desk the property was found should be fined a crate of oranges Die motion prevailed but before the search began Mr Anderson produced the gavel and also a cuspidor and water pitcher His defense was that i some one had put them In his desk Circumstantial evidence evi-dence was against him however He went out and got the oranges They were thrown about the House each member catching one The same trick was repeated with A Printer Greatly Surnrlsod I never was so much surprised In my life as I was with the results of using Chamberlains Pain Balm says Henry 1 Crook pressman of the Asheville Ashe-ville N C Gazette I contracted a severe case of rheumatism early last winter by getting my feet wet I tried several things for It without benefit One day while looking over the Gazette Ga-zette I noticed that Pain Balm was positively guaranteed to cure rheumatism rheuma-tism so bought a bottle of It and before be-fore using twothirds of it my rheumatism rheu-matism had taken its flight and I have not had a rheumatic pain since Sold by all druggists Clerk Toones dockets Morris wan selected se-lected as the victim but being an attorney at-torney he appealed from the line of a case of mintnil water and successfully fought the case on the ground that the sentence was beyond the Jurisdiction of the court Those were samples of the play indulged In-dulged In by the House yesterday afternoon after-noon The relaxation that came with the practical completion of the work made them feel like school boys out for a rccesn and they could not restrain their spirits It was well indeed that the most serious measures were disposed dis-posed of earlier In the session for the bills that came up yesterday received but scant consideration Often the fate of a law was turned by a word or sentence sent-ence heard above the clamor of voices and the rattle of typewriters The Speaker was lenient and aside from a halfJoking protest now and then i made no effort to keep down the mirth By evening the House was denuded of wastebaskcts cuspidors Revised Statutes maps and other movables The spoiling J > h was begun by Representative Wilson the foe
