Chicago has given civil-serv:ce reform a
reasonably-fair trial for the past year or
so. and seems to be well satisfied with the
results The movement in behalf of hon
esty in municipal government has been re-
tarded as much possible by the spoils-
men-clamorous and otherwise-but a great
deal of real publication has actually been
accomplished The secretary of the city's
civil service commission said. in an address

said the man who makes maps.

ployer
There's getting to be too much uncer-
tainty in this business. Formerly when you
got place down you could let it be and
go ahead about your work. But now you
can't tell what's going to spring up. First
it was Buzzard's Bay that had to be
shown Sos people could find it. Then the
President went fishing down to Quantico,
and we had to put that in. Next thing we
know we had to bring Canton, Ohio, out
to the front, and now along comes Salem,
Illinois, looking for its name in big type.

give you fair warning that I'm going some
where and give my weary brain a rest

The usual Thanksgiving rabbit hunt
for the benefit of the Door of the city
was not as productive of spoil yester-
day as on most former Thanksgiving
days. The weather was most to blame,
which, on account of the deep snow,
and general stormy character, was
anything but favorable to a successful
hunt.
The hunting ground was in the neigh
borhood of Cedar Fort, and 80 sports
men started from this city by the
Union Pacific train at in the morning
and were conveyed from the depot at
Cedar to the preserves by teams. The
start was made in good time, and the
80 rifles cracked and blazed away all
day, the result being only 1900 dead
Dummies, which, all things considered,
was not by any means a bad showing,
but was not equal to last years slaugh-
ter by close on 1000.
The 80 gunners divided themselves
into teams of about IA men each, and
the team commanded by Captain Rog-
non scored the highest, having 334 dead
rodents to its credit. Individually, Mr..
Beebe scored the highest, bringing
down 81, while Mr.. Rognon made a
good second, scoring Al.
The hunters ate their Thanksgiving
dinner on the field of operations as
the guests Ol joe ElZenSperSeT. II was
cold and the viands were frozen, but
the sharp frosty air and the exercise
made the meal taste so good that the
hunters thought it was the best they
had ever eaten.
The spoils were brought in to the
city in a refrigerator car and most of
the rabbits We're distributed at the de-
pot among the $50 poor people who had
assembled there, and who were thank
full for the little which enabled them to
have one or two savory meals. Each
of the gunners took a few of the rab-
bits to give to poor people who reside
in their immediate neighborhoods, and
if there are any left, which is doubt
full, they will be distributed today at
Browning's gun store, West Second
South street

and perhaps the queen will read to
herself or chat with any members on
her family who happen to be at home.
Afternoon tea, served in beautiful
Sevres china, makes a pleasant inter
val, and at this meal some or the
grandchildren will probably be pres

time to herself for writing to the En-
press Frederick, with whom she is con7
stantly in communication, or for purely
personal business She may at such
period in the day see Viscount Cross

stefan, Sir William Jenner, who, how
ever, rarely has to prescribe Tor his
patient. The queen has been wonder
fully blessed with good health, partly
because she, places complete romance
in her medical advisors. In the early
years of her reign she used to take
special prescriptions prior TO and after
anxious public work. For Instance,
when the queen opened parliament a
messenger would arrive at the palace
with tonic adapted to the needs OF
the occasion. And no sooner had the
queen returned from the house of lords
than another messenger would bring
a sedative powder so that the queen

the guests do not see her again. If a

STEALING ELECTRICrTY.

Spurred by criticism in the newspapers
and on the stump during the. recent. cam

Chicago Record, the president has de-
ternl-ned to make a record as a trust
buster during the closing weeks of his
administration. and with the assistance
of his colleagues in the cabinet At
torney-General Harmon has prepared a
powerful argument which he will de-
liver IN the supreme court when the case
of the trans Missouri Freight associa-
ton comes up on appeal by the govern
ment next month. In the natural order
of things this case would not be reached
until late in the spring, but it has been
advanced on the docket in order 10 give
