Tie BORE WAS SHOCKED.
A Blunt Letter That Reached Him Fro
the Interior Department.

A Blunt Letter That Reached Him From
the Interior Department.
The following anecdote is related of
Judge Cox, who was once secretary of
the interior: There is class Of people,
and large one, who find pleasure in
corresponding with the departments ON
trivial subjects and prolong the cor
respondence indefinitely. A gentleman,
let us call him Mr.. Jones, was one of
these persistent specimens who wrote to
the interior department. Although re-
plies were made to his inquiries, he al
ways returned to the front with another
unimportant question. His case became
q subject of conversation among the
clerks, and at lunchtime ono day some
one referred to Mr.. Jones' ability as a
letter writer.
IF had my way. said clerk, "I'd
soon put an end to his nonsense.
How would you do it?''
'Why, I'd write him a letter like
this" and he wrote as follows:
DEAR Mr.. JosEs-Yours of the 9th inst
received. In reply would say that your i'm
tellectuHl capacities are rather inferior to
those OF bonelesS codnsh am tired OF you.
Hoping you will not write again, remain,
yours respectfully, -.
The letter was passed around and read
and finally carelessly thrown aside ON a
desk. 1t remained there until evening,
when it was collected, with others, by
the messenger whose duty it was to car
ry letters from the several divisions to
the secretary for his signature. 1t
CHANGED to be among some letters relat-
ing to routine matters, and Secretary
Cox affixed his signature without read
ing it. Then 1t went through the mail
to Mr.. Jones. The following day the
secretary received a communication
from Mr.. Jones. He was shocked and
grieved; he was fearful that the govern
ment was lettering to its fall. When a
cabinet officer descended to penning
such sentences, he said, he feared for
the welfare Of the country. Mr.. Jones'
wounded feelings were soothed by a per-
sonal letter from the secretary, and to
show that there was no hard feeling ON
his part Mr.. Jones at once renewed his
correspondence with the department. -
