AN exchange tells of a man who
was too stingy to pay for newspa-
per, and, as he could not get along
without it, he sent his little boy to
borrow the copy taken by neigh
Dor. In his haste the boy ran over
a 81 stand of bees, and in ten min
utes looked like a warty summer
squash. His cries reached his faith
er, who ran to his assistance, and
failing to notice barbed wire fence
ran into it, breaking it down, cut
ting a handful of flesh from his
anatomy and running 80 cent pair
of overalls. The old cow took adj
vantage of the gap in the fence and
got into the corn field, and killed
herself eating green corn. Hearing
the racket the wife ran, upsetting a
fOur-gallOn churn of rich cream
into basket Of kittens, drowning
the whole flock. The baby, being
left alone, crawled through the
spilled cream and into the parior,
running a brand new 500 carpet.
During the excitement the oldest
daughter ran away with the hired
man, the dog broke up eleven set
ting hens and the calves got out
and Chewed the tails off four fine
shirts. This story is evidently plot
ted in the olden time. The modern
man is weaker and wiser. He takes
the paper, he reads it, he pays for it
and therefore he enjoys it.

LOCAL CONTRACTORS IGNORED.
Not Asked to Bid on the Department
of Justice Building.

Some of the local contractors are aroused
over methods Attorney General Griggs is
pursuing to obtain bids for the erection of
the new Department of Justice building
MIR. Griggs has invited ten Of the large con-
tractors in the United States to submit bids
on the building, the plans for which have
been completed; but it is claimed the local
contractors were omitted, thereby rejecting
upon them. The firms invited to make bids
are from surrounding cities. The act pro-
viding for the new building fixed the cree
tfon in the hands of the Attorney General
and did not prescribe any method. Bids
are to be opened Wednesday next.
Mr.. Parsons Protests.
March 80 James L. Parsons, a builder of
this city. wrote the following letter to At
torney General Griggs:
Il am informed that the plans and speci-
fications are ready for the new building for
the Department Of Justice, to be built in
this city. 1 have obtained this informa-
ton through Philadelphia contractors l
am also informed that ten bidders have
been selected, none Of whom are OF this
city. l respectfully request that you will
select one or more from this city, as

competency of the Washington contractors
to exclude them from the competition on

the interest of the government as well. We
have contractors here as competent and
financially as able to build the said build
ing as in any other city in the country. A.
resident contractor certainly has an advan-
tage, all things being equal, over a nom
resident, owing to personal supervision.
Proof can be produced to establish the
competency of Washington builders. most
heartily approve of your methods of select
ing bidders instead of public advertisement.
which would admit incompetent people, ard
believe it greatly in the interest of the gov
ernment to award the work only to compe-
tent contractors. but consider myself. as
well as others in the city of Washington,
thoroughly competent and equal to out
siders to undertake this work.
In reply to this, Mr.. Parsons received a
April 4. saying: What considerations or
facts were in the possession of the archi-
tect with reference to Washington contrac-
tors am not informed"
Mr.. Parsons Thursday last answered the
Attorney General and somewhat sharply
criticised him, saying: Il beg to submit
that, in my opinion, this should have been
this being quite an important building and
you having departed from the former prac-
dce of the government in selecting bidders
that 1t would be incumbent upon you IN
making this selection to be careful that the
government should obtain the best results"

the course Of the Attorney General The
Post of New York, and the letter of the
Attorney General indicates that Mr.. Post
made the selection of contractors.

about the matter, said that the course
