Looking Towards Maine To-day.
TWO VIEWS OF THE SITUATION.


Very naturally the Maine election was the chief
topic OF conversation In political circles to-day.
Republicans look to the result to give Blaine
boom that will help him in closer states They
say that big majority in Maine viii attest BlaiDe's
popularity among those who know him best, and
set at rest all talk against him. Democrats say
that big majority in Maine will be regarded as a
heavy vote for prohibition, induced by Blaine, and
tnat IL Will ally Blaine SO close 10 prohibition and
the principles involved in IL TO still further drive
the Germans OF the west from him. That is the
way the election is viewed by the opposing sides OF
the canvass.

Chairman Eaton. OF the civil service commission,
has written letter in reply to communication
asking whether not the civil service law pro-
hibits contributions by government employees under
the civil service rules TO state political associations

money thus received is to be used for political pur
poses: In his reply Mr.. Eaton says ''lf the funds
thus being collected are intended. In whole or In
part 10 be used for any particular purpose, the re
quest for them, their payment and their reception
would each be, in my opinion. a separate violation
OF that act, making all members taking any part In
the transaction liable TO Indictment
In his reply. Mr. Eaton condemns the whole sys-
ten OF state political associations. and asks, In re-
gard TO government employees: "Are there to be
hostile associations for each state?' and ''What
could be more pernlciOuS and under such system
more incOngruouS and indefenSible than for those
in the departments OF different parties from the
same state TO form associations by political
action in hostility to each other?" In conclusion
he says: 81 must think that those who gained their

selves ana to the country not to needleSSly and
useessly bring partisan activity and dstrust into
those official places OF nOnpartlSan work where 1t

Cut OF His Nose.

Paul Varzerau is Il barber employed
on the North Side. Theresa BarsalOux.
a cOmcly young woman, has long been
the idol of the tonsorial Paul. But
while re~ciprocating the affections of the
young barber, she was fully aware that
a few thousand dollars which she pos.
seSsed in her own right in a measure
placed her above 4 barber beau. While
her feelings were thus nicely balanced,
there appeared upon the scene a young
man bearing the prosaic cownOmcn OF
William Brown. He was a travelling
man. His bold methods of wooing were
more han 4 match for the timid adj
vanceS of Paul V~arzerau. and he bid
fair to win the maiden and her wealth.
Paul saw this with many forebodings.
One of Browns attractions was a re-
markably handsome nose, which WAS
his most noticeable feature. Without it
he would have been nobody. 1t was OF
the Grecian style. white rs a pillar OF
marble, and as smooth. Young women
have been known to lose their hearts &c
n pair Of eyes, to n handsome head OF
hair, and. in instances of intellectual
and specialized young females, t o a
forehead. But Theresa fell in love with
a noSc-the nose of William Brown. She
cOniided this fact to Paul Narzerau.
AMI with words every m of which
raSped his feelings as he was wont to
rasp the beard of his customers. expati-
ated upon the wonderful influence
which this nose exercised over her.
When Paul left that evening he had
made a fiendisb resolve.
Two days later Paul Varzerau stood
behind d chair in the barber-shop where
he had learned William Brown was in
the habit of getting shaved. 1t was on
the afternoon of the third day that the
Inflated William Brown entered the
shop and seated himself in Paul Var
zerau's chair. There was his nose
cold. white, symmetrical and smooth.
'.Aha! A few short seconds and l shall
be avenged" thought Paul, and he
ground his teeth as he stropped the ra-
zor. The keen blade cut a hair in
twain.
''Be careful and don't get any iather
Nh my nose" guoth William Brown;
mo bay rum on my face, either"
'.Scacre! The puppy. how proud he
is of his nose. But l must be calm and
control myself" thought Paul. He
mixed his lather and spread it over the
face of his customer. who had closed
his eyes, and seemed to be INDUCING in
the luxury of a doze. He shaved n
side of William Browns face and dulled
the razor. Paul stropped the razor
back to an edge. He then elevated the
chin of the unfortunate man and laid
are his throat. The eyes did not
open. Paul held the razor aloft a sec
ond. Then with a skillful sweep it de-
scended and cut off the nose of William
Brown, who did not even open his eyes.
Paul Varzerau stood for q moment par
alyzed. The razor fell from his grasp.
his knees gave way beneath him, and
he tottered out of the door.
The nose was ~wax.-ChicaSo News
