in process Of drying up for the past six

THE BORE WAS SHOCKED.

q Blunt Letter That Reached Him From

The following anecdote is related of
Judge Coz, who was once secretary Of
tie interior: There is class of people,
and large enc, who find pleasure in
corresponding with the departments Oh
trivial subjects and prolong the cor
respondence Indefinitely. A gentleman,
let US call him MI. Jones, was enc of
these persistent specimens who wrote to
the interior department. Although 1e-
plies were made to his inquiries, he al
ways returned to the front with another
unilnportant question. His case became
subject OF conversation among the
clerks, and at lunchti1ne one day some
one referred to Mr.. Jones' ability as
letter writer.
eff had my way said clerk, "I'd
soon put an end to his nonsense.
Chow would you do it?:''
"Why, I'd write him a letter like
this and be wrote as follows;

those Of q boiieleSs Goldfish. / am tired CT you.

The letter was passed around and read
and finally carelessly thrown aside Oh a
desk. Il remained there until evening,
when it was collected, with others, by
the messenger whose duty it was to car
" letters from the several divisions to
the secretary for liis signature. It
CHANGED to be among some letters relat-
ing to routine matters, and Secretary
Cox affixed his signature without read
ing it. Then it went through the mail
to Mr.. Jones, l'ha following day the
secretary received a communication
from Mr.. Jones. He was shocked and
grieyed; he was fearful that the govern
ment was lettering to it's fall. When a
cabinet Officer descended to penning
stach sentences, he said, he feared fol
the welfare of the country. Ir. Jones
wounded feelings were soothed by per-
sOnal letter from the secretary, and to
show that there was no hard feeling O..
