The Campers Were Told IL Was one.
but soon Learned Otherwise
A party Of campers have just come
here with another tale of the trusting
farmer
There was family from whom they
were in the habit of buying milk and
eggs and garden sass, y and who were
possessed of small son whose voice
they considered wonderful
1t was rather good. and on many diff
ferent occasions the campers fingered
under the trees to hear him sing some
sweet old hymn or ballad, thereby caus-
ing his mother and elder brothers 70
swell with pride.
One night they arrived unexpectedly,
and the mother was filed with woe.
s.Oh. dear she cried, I'm so sorry
Johnny had such lovely new song
TO sing for you the very next time you
came, an now he's just gone away ON
an errand. 1t WAS such a pretty song
pa bought it for him up in the city. SOS
he'd have something new to sing you,
you know, an he's been learnin it today
You don't think you coulA wait, dc
you? He won't be away so awful long. -
1t WASH very convenient lor them
70 stay, bnt out of consideration fer the
youngster and his mother, they did.
and before very long he turned up, re
paired to the piano, after many grins
and bushes, and the visitors prepared
70 listen 70 the new song with great ex-
pectancy.
There was chord or two struck-the
old mother nodded with now you ii
hear something worth while expression.
and the guests listened, when suddenly
the familiar strains Of ''oh. the moon
was shining bright along the Wai5asll"
SWEET across their ears. They glanced
at each other. and then hur1iedly looked
away again. One young man. who l.
know to BE- of the giggiing variety
coughed and repaired TO the porch, but
the rest stuck it out with preternatural-
~ grave faces, and when it was over
thanked the younsster and his proud
and happy family with an earnestness
which did them cretllr.
But whoever would have supposed
that there was anybody who hadn I
heard that moon shining long ago.

VALET BETTER THAN MAID.
Miss l.. b. Freeman of Paris Brings
Male Servant to America.

New York Feb, 15 Most women
would think they had reached the
highest sum of human good when
they had taken unto themselves a
maid. But Miss l.. b. Freeman, a
young American woman, now staying
at the Cambridge hotel in this city
will have none of her Instead she
has brought to this country with her
a man servant, whom she calls a cour-
ier-valet and who is part of her es-
tablishmenet in Paris, where she
makes her home. The young fellow
is sturdy German boy, and is learn
ing to speak English, and being who
can do more things than a juggler,
and has more of the virtues of service
than any article in the advertising
placards of the elevated train
How did | come to have man
instead Of the time-honored maid?"
said MISS Freeman. THAT is easy
enough told-he is a better servant
men make better servants in the du-
ties that this one has to meet than the
best maids that ever We're born. Why?
Well they--or rather, he--can buy my
tickets, run my errands, announce my
carriage at receptions, and see me to
and from the theater at night No
maid could do all this"
Miss Freeman said she preferred to
do up her own hair. SO didn't miss a
maid on that account
THAT boy can do anything ever
heard Of" she continued; "black my
boots, and button them. if necessary
He runs thirty errands day some
times. Does wonders for me, and he
begged me TO bring him along to see
America. In Warsaw, Poland in
France, and in England they have val
cts, and it is such a common thing
that no one pays any attention to it
and no one ever comments on it,

civil SERVICE MEN PLEASED.
Commissioner Annual Report Shows
Their Hopes Largely Realized.

Washington, Feb. 5.--The annual
report Of the civil service commission
Tor the fiscal year ended June so, 1897,
has been presented to the president.
1t begins with a statement to show
that after an experience OF nearly fif-
teen years, the hopes of the advocates
OF the civil service law have been
largely realized. In practice the law
has proved TO be constantly exerted
and effective force in the direction OF
economy. Considering the few changes
in the service under the merit system
and the wholesale removals under the
patronage system, the economic and
efficiency of one standing contrast to
the extravaganza and inefiioency Of
the other. Since 1883 (the year OF
the organization of the commission).
the unelassiiied positions which have
been subject to political control have
increased in number 81 per cent. and
in cost As per cent, wnlle the classi-
fled positions subject to examinations
have remained at standstill. The
large extension of civil service rules
in May, 1896, to include positions
hitherto unclassiiied the report says.
brought to light a number of unnec-
essary positions. Quite number OF
these have been abolished as a meas
ure of economy. The whole number
OF positions examined during the year
was 40, Ia. of whom 2S,593 passed.
The number of appointments were A.
1856. The commission, the report
says, has been steadily making its ex-
aminations more practical. Numerous
complaints have been made OF viola
ton of the rules of the civil service
in the treasury department, the depart
ment of justice and the interior de-
partment. In each case examinations
have been made by representatives OF
the comm ission and such cases as
appeared to be violations OF the law
were referred to the department to
which ii belonged. In each case the
commission has not yet received re-
ply. The report speaks highly OF the
promotion system based on the ef-
ticiency record This has been
especially endorsed by the navy de-
partment In the work In the wards.
On the other hand, the commission
deprecates the proposition OF limited
tenure of government office. pointing
cut that 1t would not only impair the
efficiency OF the service, but would
open the door for political influence

public interest to inform the house
what information, II any, has been
received by the department of state
concerning the present condition Of
the reconcentrados in Cuba; whether
or not they have been permitted to
return to their estates; whether or
not they or any considerable number
OF them are now on their estates.
whether or not any zones, or consd-
cradle parts of zones, are now being
cultivated by them, according to the
reports received at the department of
state from American consuls or con
sular agents; what steps, If any, are
shown by said consular reports to
have been taken by the Spanish gov
eminent for feeding said reconcentra-
COS, or from otherwise preventing
them from starving and suffering;
whether or not the Spanish govern
ment has given the necessary military
protection to enable the mills to grind
cane and what progress has been made
in SPANS efforts to induce the Cubans
to accept autonomy

pGtible with public intereset to send
to the house copies of all such reports
from consuls, vice consuls and com
rercial agents of the United States in
Cuba. as may shed light upon the sub
jects above referred to, and as such
and to the country concerning the con-
dition of Cuba since the advent of the
regime under Gen Blanco."
