GOOD FOR EVIL.

"Jessie," said Anton Mosby, the for
ester, to his daughter, why do you
persist in your friendship for our board
er, Hayes, when you know I don't like
him? I've warned you often enough.
When man is ashamed to tell his busi-
ness, it doesn' take much discernment
to see that something is wrong. He
has been in our house now about five
weeks and during the whole time has
not limited word as to the meaning of
his trips into the woods. Yesterday !
saw him prowling about the old quarry,
but when / asked him what he was att
er he said he was looking for game. A
likely place indeed to find anything to
shootl"
Father" said the daughter, "Mr.
Hayes has always treated me like gen.
tleman, and as there is no other COM
pany here l don't see what harm can
come from talking with him."
II know that it is lonesome here,
Jessie, with no one but me for COM
pany, and when we can afford it we
shall go where you can have better ad-
vantages, but that fellow Hayes is not
the right kind, and I don't want you to
have anything at all to do with him.
I've left word with Dick to have his
horse ready when he gets back, for he has
got to leave this place today. Or course
I've got no proof that he is bad one,
but it is easy enough to see. Look at
his brace of pistols. I tell you rifle
is good enough here against anything
but the sherlff's posse. But I must go;
remember what l say and don't look
for me back before night" and Mosby
turned away.
Anton Mosby's occupation was to
protect large section of pine timber
owned by an eastern company from en-
croachments by rival firms and neces-
STATED long tramps along the bounda-
ries of the great forest estate. His home
was located in a small clearing not
large enough to escape the shadows Of
the trees for more than half of the day.
The nearest village was a numbering
town about 10 miles distant. From
this village ran narrow, scraggy road
out into the forest, past Mosby's house,
and then at the distance of mile or SC
divided, one branch turning south and
leading somewhere in the direction Of
civilization, the other running several
miles northward and ending in an old
quarry which was dug in the side Of O
| rocky ledge.
After Mosby's departure Jessie went
on with her work indoors with heavy
heart. Her fathers suspicion that the
man Hayes, who had been sojournine
with them, was only refugee from
justice, panied her. He had always
been very obliging about the house, had
books in his saddlebags and sometimes
read aloud to her, which was matter
of real entertainment, and while she
did not care for him she felt extremely
sorry for the treatment he received al
her fathers hands. She had to confess,
however, on thinking it over, that il
was queer place for man to come
whose only occupation was pleasure.

Her BONNET.
When meeting bells began to toll,
And pious folk began to pass.

When meeting bells began to toll,
And pious folk began to pass,
She deftly tied her bonnet on,
The little sober meeting lass,
All in her neat, white curtained room, be-
fore her tiny looking glass.
So nicely, round her lady cheeks,
She smoothed her bands of glossy hair
And innocently wondered if
Her bonnet did not make her fair.
Then sternly child her foolish heart for har
boring such fancies there.
So square she tied the satin strings,
And set the bows beneath her chin,
Then smiled to see how sweet she looked,
Then thought her vanity sin,
And she must put such thoughts away be
fore the sermon should begin.
But sitting meath the preached word,
Demurely in her fathers pew,
She thought about her bonnet still
Yes. all the parsons sermon through
About its pretty bows and buds, which bet

Yet sitting there with peaceful face,

And maybe was one, onthe whole
Only that her prctty bonnet kept away thu

An important reform, almost unnoticed by
the public and the press, has been proceed
ing steadily at Washington during the ses-
sion of the Fifty-third Congress. We are
accustomed to hear that Congress "does
nothing" or else does nothing but what we
think it should not do.
The reform to which we refer, which con-
sists mainly of an improvement of the bust
ness methods of the public service, and which
is likely to save to the government and the
Taxpayers millions of dollars yearly, is Lot
only prof that congress does do something
but an admonition that the people should

tion than the ordinary press dispatches us.
ually enable them to do.
A joint and non-partism commission of
senators and representatives of the present
Congress was constituted by law in 1893 to
investigate the methods of the executive de-
partments and other government establish
ment in Washington, and see what change
in the laws might be necessary to secure
greater efficiency and economy. The COM
mission found that our government, as a
great business agency, was working under
many methods which were the result OF
enactments made at the very beginning Of the
government. in 1889.
Many of these methods had been very well
adapted to the government in the early days
when the annual expenditures were but few
million dollars, but had become wasteful and
absurd at the present time.
The first thing which the commission did
in the way of legislation was to recommend
the substitution Of system of engrossing
the acts of Congress by printing instead OF
by writing with pen and ink.
Not only was the old system expensive,
but errors in copying were frequent, and IL
seemed to be impossible to prevent them.
1t was shown, among other striking things
that an error of the pen of an engrossing
clerk in the tariff act of 1883 cost the govern
ment two million five hundred thousand dol
lars in revenue in one year. The act had put
"fruit plants" on the free list; and the clerk
By putting in comma between "fruit" and
''plants," had made it put fruit on the free
list. A bill recommended by the commission
abolishing the old method of engrossment
became law.
The commission found that the departments
were paying very diverse amounts for sup
plies. One paid nearly dollar ton more
for coal than another, and one paid more
than twice as much for ice as another. The
commission submitted, and Congress passed

The question of overskirts does no,

with remarkable unanimity in favor o.
the still modish and elegant plain skirt
or with bit of trimming that really
only accentuates its plainness. The
short, pointed overskirt in particular

it should be insisted on has not been
demonstrated.

Law which will make all these rrices uni
form, and regulate them all by the lowest
bid made to any department.
The next step Was the securing by the
commission Of an act abolishing the publi-
cation of certain report Of accounts made
by the treasurer to Congress.
This report cost sixty.f five hundred dollars
year, and was so extremely volHminoUs
that nothing could be found in it. At the
Senate do ument room it was reported that
not one copy of this work had been referred
to in thirty years.
The commission brought about the pass
age of an act reforming and simplifying the
business methods of the post-ofice depart
ment, and abolishing the system of postal
notes. The commission estimated that this
act will save two million dollars year to the
government.
The most important remaining work of
the commission, so far. has been an exami-
nation of the methods of accounting in the
treasury department, which are still practi-
cally those of 1889, and are tremely slow
and complicated. 1t was found that 1t kes
from two months to two years to collect any
bill submitted to the government. The sys-
tenn of accounting in the treasury is highly
expensive, without, in the opinion of the
commission, yielding any conpensating
benefit to the government.

tenn, and expediting the settlement of public
business. This bill, is estimated. would
save between two and our hundred thousand
dollars year.
The work of the commission is far from
being done. The majority of the departments
are still before it. Itspurpose is to do away
with needless circumlocutions, abolish any
abuses that may have grown up. and Rener-
