RED TAPE IN eNCI AND,
Breaking q Chair to Pieces to Secure
OffcIal Repairing.

Says a writer in the London Speaker:
A good many years ago a certain
young clerk who had been fortunate
enough to secure stool in one of the
great public Offices of her majesty the
queen was startled out of his sense Of
propriety by a spectacle which he wit
messed in the official apartment in
which he was serving the state. He
has grown grey since then in the pub.
lie ser-ice, and honors have accumu-
lated upon him; but to this day he re-
members with something like thrill
of horror the astounding scene which
in his verdant youth first opened his
eyes to the realities of the civil service.
This was what he beheld. An elderly
gentleman, who was one of the senior
clerks in the room in which our young
friend was the junior. suddenly rose
from his desk. dragged the comfort
able chair upon which he had been
sitting into the middle Of the room,
seized a poker, and. attacking the
chair with yigor worthy of an able
bodied Englishman. succeeded in
breaking one of its legs.
The chair was ia excellent condition,
so the task was not an easy ore. When
it was accomplished the senior clerk
gave a sigh of relief. and. fiinging the
chair into a corner of the room, re-
turned calmly to his desk and his pen.
Our young friends first idea was that
Mr.. X. had suddenly taken leave of his
senses. aud he had expected at the first
moment of his attack upon the chair
that his colleagues would forthwith
put some restraint upon him. But to
his amazement, the other clerks in the
room hardly raised their eyes from
their desks while the work of, destruc-
ton was in progress. 1t was clear
that they understood all about it. and
were by no means moved by the per-
Torrance of their chief That after
noon, when the office work was at an
end. our raw youth timidly approached
one of his fellow-clerks and questioned
him. Can you tell me-" he asked.
why Mr.. X. behaved in that extra
ordinary way this morningp / mean
when he deliberately broke perfectly
sound leg off the chair in which he had
been sitting"
oh" replied the other with a
shrug of the shoulders. that was all
right. A castor had come off one of
the legs of his chair, and you know
my lords won't provide new casters;
they will attend to nothing less than .
broken leg. So X. had to break a leg
in order to get his chair put right
again at the public expense"

youngest sister, and then boasted of it.
He bought pistol, and was wheeled
over to Girard in search OF Barnes,
