jefferson complained that few ofIiceholders
died and none resigned. and. in spite Of the
resignation Of Internal Revenue Collector Lake,
of Rhode Island and Connecticut, that rule still
remains substantially true as an index Of
human disposition toward office holding. Mr..
Lake found that he was pestered nearly to death
by people who asked questions about the War
Revenue law wherever he went. He could not
escape. and concluded that life was burden
under such circumstances. From his account
the office appears to be most undesirable one,
but the instant his retirement was announced
a rush Of patriots ready to undertake Its duties
began and their earnestness indicates that II
any Of them succeed it will he death or removal
and not resignation which makes the next
vacancy.

The man awaiting the approach of a
dreadful death is a type of large class of IN
fortunatcs who, entangled in the strangling
coils of an octopus, have lost all hope offree-
dom. This monster is Morphine. Perhaps
the victim is yet reveling in that glorious
state of exhilaration which follows the first
use of the drug. 1fso, like the man in Poe's
story, he has not noticed the light in the cell
ing and is unaware of his danger. Maybe
the disease has progressed so far that the
sufferer notices weakness of the heart ac-

body poorly nourished, the sight double
This is soon followed by peculiar witch

and feet, and the utter collapse of the
nervous system. The victim now becomes
