ions of the civil service law in relation to polit-
ical assessments or contributions, to inform
government employees Of their rights in the
premises, and to warn those not in the govern

to infringe upon these rights.
Ponncal assessments under any guise arc pro-
hibited by law. The provisions Of the law on
the subject are, in substance, a. follows:
That no government officer or employe shall
directly or indirectly solicit or receive, in any
manner whatever, contribution for political
purposes from any other government officer or
employe.
2. That no government officer or employe
shall make contribution for political purposes
to any other government officer or employe.
3. That no person shall in any manner, di-
rectly or indirectly, solicit or receive con tribu-
t1ons for political purposes in any room or
building occupied by government employees in
the discharge Of official duties; and
4. That no superior officer shall discriminate
against or in favor Of any government officer or
employe on account Of his action in reference
to contributions for political purposes. Gov
ernment employees must be left absolutely free
to contribute or not. as they see fit, and to CON-
tribute to either party according to their pref
erences. and an employe refusing to contribute
must not be Disseminated against because Of
such refusal.
1t is the duty Of the commission to see that
the provisions Of this law are enforced and it
will employ every available means to secure the
prosecution and punishment Of whoever may
violate them. The commission requests any
person having knowledge of any violation Of
this law to lay the facts before 1t, and it will at

He gave his orders and the two prison

Out upon the moor, about quarter

with his life and liberty.
And what were the sensations of the
pair while these preparations were In

David Dare. standing before the mus

There were very few ladies at tho
political mass meeting. and the big fem
mime hat with four feathers thereupon
was very conspicuous by reason of its
loneliness. The face beneath it wore q
puzzled, half distressed look.
A tall young man was introduced and
fell to shifting the rafters with his elo-
Quence.
''Great stuff" gleefully commented
the party beside the face beneath the
big hat, evidently an escort. :.

FINE WEATHER WE'RE HAVING.

A Fact Appreciated by q Young Man with
an Extensive Vocabulary.
We have young society man in De-
troit we are proud of. He is society
man who can be something else when
he wants to be, and he wants TO be quite
frequently. He is a dry wit, and he de-
lights in prodding society people whose
capacity is limited to society. Most Of
all, he is against society talk. During
the first week in October he was in New
York and attended reception, or rather
tea, at 5 o'clock.
Its a charming day." observed the
swell young woman he had met shortly
after he had entered the room.
Yes" he admitted, because it was a
charming day.
"We have been having very lovely
weather for some time. she continued.

a man who knew what he was talking
about and proposed 10 finish the subject

about it, but she didn't have anything
to say-she was speechless, and he passed
on to the next one, smiling as before

Only the rattle Of . drum But the
sound struck them motionlesss as

effect on their companions less remark

''Goodr' he remarked. These were
all ringleaders, were they? Sergeant
John, draw up your firing party and

The order was instantly obeyed.

the crash of the report. Moved by an
impulse which he could not conquer he
turned around with a shudder. The
soldiers were lowering their smoking
