Another public servant wao Is Tar from
BENG infatuated with Lis l0t Is Professor 4
Y Riley. the gOvernment eutomol0sisL Or
Riley Is an enthusiastic Geyotee II his faYor
lie science and would II tie could spend luanS
hours Ia her company In the opinion of &
learned man lks Riley, the running aflel
chinch bugs and other insects which asaali q
nations prosperity by endesy0ring u destroy
agriculture Is not pure science, but SORT 81
commercial or applied science which musl he
tolerated for tue SAKE OF dollars anu cents
Yet all Of Professor Rlleys time Is taken ~

office and at the same time 20 keep up his
law practice in Minnesota. As yet, the gov
ernment's interests have not been permitted
10 suffer, but as much cannot be said Of the
law practice As the latter is worth some
thing like 5000 a year, while the salary Of
the chief Of the appointment division is but
s., 500, it is not difficult 10 guess which will,
in the end, gain Mr. Bumes undivided atten-
