There were several things found in the Christ.
mas stockings this year of a number Of the
prominent government officials that gave the
recipients a good deal Of satisfaction. Perhaps
in some cases the knowledge of what the stock
ings contained was not kept a profound secret
from the owners until Christmas morning. In
spite OF that fact. however. the Christmas joy
was more complete when il based on the
knowledge that after the 4;h of March they
would be able TO step down and out FROM
official position into a good desirable berth in
private life. Gifts of this sort have not been
generally distributed. but enough have been

those outside of the civil service 20 look for
ward to the coming change in administration
with not only equanimity, but feeling of re-
lief.

city. He will also be interested in one or
irons in the fire, which, in all probability, will
work out into something shspely. As Mr..

OF Mr.. Wanamaker and he receives nothing
from the public treasury his connection with
The department viii cease when Mr.. wana-
maker retires.
