Jones' Elbow

There is no stove up in the Jones fam
lily sitting room this fall and there isn't
likely to be, for Jones says he isn't 90
ing to put the drafted thing up. not if
he knows it, and Mrs. Jones goes round
shivering and inquiring what is good
for rheumatism, and all this discomfort
arose from what a sharp writer once
called 1.-THE total depravity of mani
mate things"
1t was this way: Jones bought an
elbow for the stove, kind OF cut bias
and shirred affair, decidedly crooked,
and with a cruel, wicked eye. Itwasn't
very large, but it was an awkward
thing to carry. Then he stopped at the
grocery and got neat little paper bag
OF cranberries, and a dozen of eggs he
forgot when ordering supplies, also put
up in paper bag; and next he boarded
car for home. There was just one
seat left vacant, and no takers; so Jones
laid the elbow in that while he paid his
fare. Then he forgot the elbow and
sat down gracefully, but not on bed
of roses; there was about dozen acute
angles to the elbow, and he got up again
and took it in his lap. but as ne did so
the bottom of the cranberry bag fell
out, and the red berries slid in shin
ing heap to the floor. Every body
SIN led, because Jones was totally I'M
conscious of the fact that his feet re-
posed in temporary cranberry bog of
the best Cape Cod fruit He was try
ing to maintain the equilibrium of the
eggs and keep the stove-Dipe joint in
hand at the same time; but one egg had
Jared against it and was now busy lu-
bricating the paper bag, and as the car
jolted along it gently insinuated itself
through the paper. Jones felt that
catastrophe OF some sort was imminent
and he reached down and slid the cold
elbow under the seat. The moment he
let go of the thing it began to rock and
ela:ter as if it were possessed, and one
woman who had not been watching him
creamed out: That's runaway COM
ingr' Then all the other women in the
car jumped up, pulled the bell strap.
and screamed: ''Save me- save me.'
Meanwhile the eggs were slowly escap-
ing, and Jones cream-g gray pantaloons
were getting the benefit. In the i'm
mediate confusion he saw a chance to
escape, and beat hasty retreat. leav-
ing the cranberries and eggs in an in
glorious heap on the floor. and the stove
pipe under the seat of car No. 9. There
it clatters yet, and that is why people
say that car is haunted; but Jones

THE SUCCESSION.
Among the questions which have been the
topic of recent debate in the halls OF Congress,
none are of greater gravity than those relating
to the ascertainnent of the vote for Presi-
dental electors and the intendment of the
Constitution in its provision for devolving
executive functions upon the Vice
President, when the President suffers from
inability to discharge the powers and duties
of his office. trust that no embarrassment
may result from failure to determine the
questions before another national election.
FINALE.
The closing year has been replete with bless
ings, for which We owe the Oliver Of All Good
our reverent acknowledgment. For the unin-
terrupted harmony of our foreign relations,
for the decay of sectional animosties, for the
exuberance of our harvests and the triumphs
Of our mining and manufacturing industries,
for the prevalence of health, the
spread Of intelligence and the conservatives
Of the public credit for the growth of the
country in all elements Of national greatness;
for these and countless other blessings, we
should rejoice and be glad. | trust that in
and under the inspiration of this great pros
perity our councils may be harmonious and
that the dictates of prudence, patriotism,
justice and economy may be the adoption OF
measures in which the Congress and the EI-
ecutive may heartily unite. ..-

measures which are likely to conduce to that
end. As to the most appropriate term and
tenure of the official life of subordinate EN-.

orally agreed that whatever their extent or
character, the one should be definite, and the
other stable, and that neither should be regu-
lated by zeal in the service of party, fidelity
in the fortunes of an individual. 1t matters
little to the people at large what COM
peteDt person is at the head of this
Department or of that Bureau, If they feel that
the removal of one and the accession of an
other will not involve the retirement of honest
and faithful subordinates whose duties are
purely administrative, and have no legitimate
connection with the triumph of any political
principles or the success of any political party
or faction. 1t is to this latter class of officers
that the Senate bill, to which have already
referred, exclusively applies, while neither
that bill nor any other prudent scheme for
improving the civil service concerns the
higher grade OF officials who were appointed by
the President and confirmed by the Senate.
