buse thinks il far more important to have

cratic, or that the tariff or silver bill should
be passed or defeated. IL thus becomes
matter OF paramount national importance
that Minneapolis shall be enumerated up
to the widest figures that the boomer
class OF citizens have claimed. In that case
II Is patriotic duty for goodly portion OF
those who have passed muster TO stand up

Civil Service and Quadrupless.

Washington City Special in Globe Democrat
The postmaster general has received letter
from Texas Democrat complaining that in
justice has been done good cause by the recent
removal OF E. T. Page. the Democratic post
master at Ingersoll. The basis OF the complaint
is that Mr.. Page. as the father OF Quadruplets,
ought not to have been removed from Office
Mrs. Page. 1t appears, gave birth to four girl
babies last January. and the happy father, II is
said, made model postmaster. Mr.. Page hap
pened to be Democrat. however, and was q
short time ago removed b. First Assistant Post
master-General Garrison. The letter Of CON-
plant to the postmaster general sets forth that
Mr. Clarkson probably removed Mr.. Page be-
cause the Democratic house Of Page was in
ereasing at too rapid . rate. Evidently" says
the writer. ''ihe first assistant postmaster gen.
ersl laborcd under the impression that the four
little Pages were boys aud would all grow up
70 vote the Democratic ticket" II il urged that
this impression Is erroneous; that the quadru-
plets are ell girls. and the prediction is ven.
tured that when they grow up they may ell
marry good Republican voters. For this reason
the complainant thinks Postmaster Page should
not have been removed.

Great Scott! He swept Bnlingsgate col

To see the language Milton wrote

To show the beauties of cur land,

Like autocrat his hand he waves.

To meet his lordship at Chehalis,

To hear their idol. who went forth
To herald to the world their worth,
Come back and swear taey's dsm'd cremated

The Irish shamrock.

In Ireland only one shamrock is
known 1t is an Indigenous. species of
clover. which trails along the ground
among the grass in meadows The ire
foil leaves are not more than one-fourth
the size of the smallest clover have
seen in America, and are pure green in
color. without any of the brown shad-
ing of white and pink clovers. The
creeping stem is hard and fbrous and Is
difficult to dislodge from the earth On
St Patricik's Day the true shamrock has
to be searched out among thegrass. fos
though comparatively plen tituI at that
season, it grows close to the ground.
Later it bears a tiny ''vh:tey-brown''
blossom The information that sham

service to those interested in the orig. a
of the Irish race. The word could have
been introduced by the Miiesians or it
may furnish an argument in support OF
the contention that one of the lost ten
