Red Letter Hunting Days.

lA'pSSiui oiicopohutuCc-1
DINGMAN's FERRY, Pa, Jan. 1s.-The
other evening IL number of men were
sitting around the grocery store talking
about hunting and fishing when the
oldest man III the party-a man between
70 and so years of age-said:
Talking about hunting, you ought to
see the kind of hunting we had around
here when l was boy.'
WAS it very good?" asked the grocer,
to draw him out.
"Well, not so good as you might
think" replied tho old man, splitting
playfully at the redhot stove, ''because
the game was so thick that you didn't
have to hunt for it. 1t was common
thing to wake up in the morning and see
black bear sitting in the garden path
eating goosebcrries, if You didn't happen
to shut the gate at night. Sometimes
we didn't care to go out in the daytime
when there was work to be done, and
then we purposely left the gate open on
moonlight nights to let the bears in. We
could sit up stairs in the window and
give them both barrels. l have fire.
quently shot 10 or 12 bears in one night"
"What did you do with them?" asked
the grocer.

piled the old man as he took q fresh
chew of tobacco. land mighty fine fer
tilizer they make, too, after they are
nicely cut up and plowed under. But
the bears were no thicker than the deer
remember once when / was crossing
the bridge up at Adams Hook one dark
night that l fell head over heels over
deer that was taking nap after big
drink of water. But that was nothing
when they were SO thick that we had to
keep dogs to brighten them into the
woods. One man who was pretty we'll
off had some iron hounds sitting around
the fields like scarecrows. That's the
reason the hunting was no good. Even
the hounds got so tired of seeing deer
that they didn't pay any attention to
them, and SO they became worthless.
Venison was so common that a man
could not eat saltpork without being con-
sidered high toned. But when we wanted
fine days sport we would go trolling
for bluefish.'
"But there are no bluefish in fresh
water" observed the grocer. care you
sure you didn't see your fish through
blue spectacles?"
"Sure," replied the old man, with en-
phasis.
But how do you account for the blue.
fisht" asked the grocer.
81 can't account for Them" said the old
man, 'any more than 1 can account for
shower of frogs. don't try to account
for anything in that line because it is
mysterious and beyond me, but caught
bluefish in the Delaware in 1910, and !
had water spaniel trained to go out
and bring in Holsters, and 1 guess ]
know what I'm talking about"
The grocer, seeing he was mad, paci.
fed him with cigar, and the old man
stopped talking and set about to have a
good old fashioned smoke.

RIVALRY FOR OFFICE.
THE GRAND ARMY OF APPLICANTS
FOR PETTY POSTMASTERSHlPS.

Walter Wcllman Says tho Federal Onlces
er Than of Strength-Duties of Fourth
Assistant Postmaster General Maxwell.
Especial Correspondence
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-At the big gov
ernment printing Office they are hard Mt
work upon the second volume of the
"Ofiicial Register" or Blue Book. 1t is
devoted wholly to the postofiice depart
mcnt, and it shows that there are in this
service about 10000 employees. In con-
rersation with your correspondent to-
day Postmaster General Bissell said
that while this was a great army of men,
representing ono out of every $50 Of our
whole population, he was sure the num-
Der was not as great as it should be, and
that i'll few years the grand total would
be over 100000. The postal business of
the country is growing faster than the
population.
when we consider" said the post
master general, ''that there arc 10000
postoffices in this country, it is easy to
SEQ that total of 100000 employees is
not large. Think of the single offices,
iiAC INCW YIN itill tildU IluVC
we'll on toward 1000 employees each.
then of the very large number with sew
eral hundred each, and of the many of
6ces that have in clerks and carriers
few scores or dozens each. The railway
mail service, with its 5000 employees,
must not be forgotten, and since there
must be ut least one employee to every
office, carriers Of mail to all offices, ETC.,
it is surprising that we are able to keep
the number of employees lower than an
average of four to the Office. It must be
remembered that each of our offices, TAX
ing the country as whole, serves 1000
people. Of course the small offices in
the country do not serve anything like
this number of people, but the average
is brought up by the offices which serve
100000 or even 100000 people each,
like the offices in New York, Chicago,
Brooklyn, Philadelphia. Leaving all fig

There, sure enough, was a big bundle of
papers concerning the postofiice i'll ques-
ton tied upwith red tape and indexed or
briefed on the back. One Of these in
dexes was, Endorsed by Senator Brice."
That seemed to settle it, and the case
seemed hopeless when the packet was
opened and letter found therein with
the senator's signature.
Hold on Il minute~ exclaimed the
senator. Lets see what 1 have signed
my name to-"
And i'll IL second he turned to the
fourth assistant postmaster general and
showed him the following lines in the
letter:
the postoffice at - received. L cannot
consistently do so, for am on record in
favor of another man."
From the word cannot" the final syl-
liable had been cluinsily erased by Il
knife, while the phrase ION record% had
byuse of knife and pen been changed to
read mot recorded"
Poor Human Nature.
The salary of the Office which the ap-
plicant had endeavored to secure by this
species of forgery was $75 IL year.
General Maxwell explained sNat tam
pering with letters in this way to distort
their meaning was common occurrence.
Senators and members receive applica-
tions from their constituents for indorse-
ments for Office, and of course in dcclin-
ing take occasion to soften the blow by
some pleasant remark. Sometimes these
letters arc filed as Endorsements in the
hope that false returns will not be dis
covered, or words are changed, as in the
Brice case, to make the writer appear to
say what he had had no intention of say
ing in the hope that the matter would
never be called to the attention of the
writer of the letter, and that the Office
may be secured by means of the fraud.
As to tho Political Effect.
The politicians who have had expert
ence in managing campaigns say they be-
lieve the result of our national elections
is often changed by postoffice disappoint-
ments. In the whole country fully $780,
600 men are candidates for postoffice ap-
pointments whenever there is a change
of administration. All but DC, 900 or 5O,-
600 of these are disappointed in their ex-
pectations. How many of the unsuc-
cessful applicants, with their friends,
fathers, sons, brothers, cousins, uncles,
sons-in-law, fathers-in-law, brothers-in-
law, grandfathers or grandsons, either
openly or secretly, "knife" the party that
turned them down at the next cleo
ton the managing politicians say they
do not know, but they imagine the pro-
portion is large enough seriously to
affect elections in close states.
1t is becoming an axiom with the
shrewdest politicians i'll the country that
possession of the patronage is source of
weakness instead of strength to any par
ty. When men talk of party being able
to maintain itself in power on account of
its possession of the federal offices, they
do not know what they are talking about
For every vote that is won by these
means n half dozen are lost by virtue OF
disappointments.
