AGAINST CIVIL SERVICE REFORM
Petitions for the Repeal of the Law Sent
from Washington.

BY direction Of Northumberland
Frank Hatton, who has assumed command
of the anti-civil service reform forces. petit
tons asking repeal Of the civil service law
are being sent from Washington TO all parts
Of the United States addressed to senators
and members Of Congress and signed by
numbers of their constituents. The follow
ing is copy Of one of the petitions: 'sTo
the Honorable Member of Congress: We,
the undersigned, citizens of the state Of
and your constituents, do hereby respectfully
request that you do all in your power 10 have
the present obnoxious and un-American civil
service law repealed. We believe that the
President and his cabinet, with the aid and
advice of senators and members of Congress,
are perfectly able to appoint worthy persons
to office without an expensive commission
which foists a scholastic class upon the pub
lie, and which subjects many persons to the
trouble and expense of examination when
there is no possible chance OF appointment"

The Good Old Mans Disappointment

A genial smile played over the be-
nignant face of the kind old man as
he wheeled his chair up to his desk
and wrote a few lines on a sheet of
paper.
cit will make some poor widowed
mother happier" he sand to himself.
elf | can give her boy good situation
and good home at the same time"
This is what the genial old man
wrote:-
Wanted, an active boy Of sixteen to drive
carriage for private family. Duties light,
pay liberal and job permanent.
Three weeks have passed since this
little advertisement was inserted in the
papers. Nobody has answered it.
The good, kind, patient old man sits in
his armchair day after day, waiting
for the lad that does not come. And
shade of disappointment clouds his
mild and gentle old face. The old
fashioned patriarch does not know
that there are no longer any boys of
sixteen in America. They are all young
men.-ChicaQO Herald.
