The Corpse Mislaid.


In back country town, where funerals
serve much the same purpose that the theatre
does in cities, there CHANGED to DE one of the
members of the community, and one of the
neighbors was asked to "take charge" of the
funeral. On the day appointed the commu-
nifty asse moled and stood about in groups dis
cussing either the departed or the condition
OF the crops, while the neighbor in charge
hustled from one room to another making the
last arrangements. The hour for the funeral
arrived and passed, and get the services dId
not begin. Still more time passed, and the
manager of affairs was seen 10 be hurrying
from room to room. looking anXlously about
as if in search of something.
AS tlae passed the audience began to show
signs of impatience, and also of curiosity as
the perplexed face of the man in charge
appeared again before them. There was evil
IDENTIFY ''hitch" in the proceedings some
where, and an explanation was necessary.
Mounting chair, the impromptu undertaken
said: MY friends, we are-are very sorry to
cause any DELAY in the-ah-last rites TO the
departed, but the h--truth lie, we have mis-
laid the corpse"
1t transpired that the coffin had been
brought down to the lower entry, or hail,
from Il chamber, and through some misunder-
standing, placed beside the stairway in the
shadow. Those coming in from the bright
sunlight had thrown their wraps upon it, not
resiizlng what it was. and thus made it
invisible.

aggressive Commissioners.

The Civil Service Commissioners are
devoting their time during the holidays
TO the preparation OF their annual report.
They expect to have it ready the latter
part OF next month, and they hope to
make it much more satisfactory show
ing of the progress OF their work than any
previous report.
They do not hesitate to say that there is
much less opposition to civil service re-
form now than there was year ago, and
they are maxim preparations to show that
this statement is correct. Last year they
were conscious that their work met with
great deal OF opposition, not
only in Congress, but among
leading department officials.
They were frequently told by party
leaders in Congress that civil service re-
form was a humbug and would have to
go. Mr.. Randall and Mr.. Holman threat
ened to starve it to death by Withholding
appropriations for it's support. The re-
form received kicks all along the line, and
the Commissioners were made to feel as
if they were engaged in disreputable
business.
They are treated differently now. There
is no talk among Congressman of starry
ing the reform to death. The heads of
bureaus have had a chance to give it
trial, and they are willing 10 testify in its
behalf. They have been converted from
the spoils to the competitive system Of
appointments, and if they are required to
speak their minds freely they will say
that there is nothing to be gained and
much to lose by going back to the spoils
system.
The Commissioners will write their re-
port as if civil service reform had come
to stay, as it no doubt has. The people
want it, and the few politicians who yet
oppose 1t will. bsye to acquiesce In the
popular wish. The President is In favor
of it and the Democratic party is CON-
mitted to it.
1t Is folly therefore, for. those who are
still hostile to 1t to keep up a light against
it, Bg doing so they disclose how little
the influence is which they possess. The
d mocratie, party would not dare to re-
fuse to make an appropriation for con-
tinuipg the work OF the Commission, and
no Congressman of influence who hopes
to retain his seat would suggest anything
of the kind. Doubtless the law will be
amended 80 as to make the reform more
effective, and to get rid of some OF its OBJ
jectionable features, but the law itself
will remain and be enforced, and that, too,
with the approval OF the great mass of the
people.
