NEWSPAPER OPINION
Mason And lhe Comptroller

From the Chicago Inter Ocean (Rep).
Senator Masons assumption that
Comrtrcller Dawes resignation ere
ates "an Illinois vacancy which he
and Senator Cullom must proceed to
consider and I'll Is an utterly unre-
freshing piece OF frczea impudence.
The custom by which the president
conshlts the senators and representa-
tives cf his party in making appoint
nents in or from their States has pre-
vailed because of It's practical utility.
But from the rule of this custom GER
tain offices have ever been excepted.
Amcng them is that of the comptrol-
Ter Of the currency.
The reasons for this exception are
obvious to every man whose Ideals of
public service rise above mere skill in
the distribution of jobs. The comp
troller OF the currency is responsible
for his acts directly to the president.
In turn the country holds the president
personally accountable for the comp
trollers capacity and conduct. AL
though not formally called to a s-at at
The council table, the comptroller is
virtually member OF the Cabinet.
The comptroller Of the currency has
been intrusted by Congress with al
most deipotic powers over the national
banks. With a word he can, il hs
Wills, hring thousands to luln. Yet
Senator Mason talks Of himself anC
Senator Cullom getting together and
dealing with the office as a personal
lperquisite.
God help the banks and their de-
posltors" would be the nations firsl
thought If the Mason idea Of the comp
trollership should be accepted by Mr.
Mckinley. Fortunately. there is nc
danger of such a calamity.

am leaving all that is dear on earth,
never to return. but what hurts most
is the thought of those little graves in
the orchard. One was the cutest lit
tie fellow'-he got no further, and we
never will know more of the little boy
that was bound to the old man heart
Just then he glanced across the
aisle, and, following his look, we saw
that the old lady had been aware of the
nature of his tale, for we could see the
tears silently coursing down her cheeks
and we knew that her heart too, was
back in Illinois.
There for hours they sat. this sim
pie old couple, hand in hand, with the
need of no words to express their
thoughts. The train plunged on
through the night, and when the porter
came to make up the berths he found
them still in their dream Of home and
friends, and of the little enclosure in
the old apple orchard.
"A few days after our arrival in Los
Angeles, l picked up the paper one
morning and my eye fell upon these
lines: Died. John Bowers. Of Illinois
in his 10th year The deceased recent
ly came to California for his health.
"That was the brief chronicle and
this is the end of my story; it is q
simple tale, but it reveals bit OF
pathos with which life is strewn."

Trouble in sockum,

Written for the Evening Journal.
Havin' some excitement,
Down at Sockum on the crick,
The course o. education

Since Johnnie Green got walloped
Down at the village school
The other day, before the class,
Because he broke a rule;
The teacher got excited
Johnnie struggled cross his knees,
Then teacher went an raised a fuss
Before The school trustees:
The tears run out o Johnnie
Like water through a sieve
When his father piled a lickin'
On the one the teacher give:
His mother she protested.
An his father slammed the door.
He'd had a taste o. trouble
An he went a-huntin more.
A trustee get arrested
Fer disturbin o. the peace,
Another got indicted
Fer resi5tin' the police;
Johnnie's father was a sight.
Eyes both closed, almost:
He said "he wasn't lookin,
So he run agin a post"
Old respected citizens
Are pacin up an down,
Vowin that they want to lick
Some other folks in town;
The trouble il is spreadin
And is CROWN more an more.

Or perhaps a civil war.

Leaving the Old Home

An incident occurred on a Western
train few years ago" said a Whining |
ton man in a recent conversation. |
which left a deep impression on my
mind, and all the details are as fresh
as when they occurred.
Il was taking a trip to Californi,
with another of my family. and aftcrl
leaving Kansas City. there being ne
change of cars till we reached the
coast, we began to make efforts to en-
gage cur fellOw-passengers in CONVEX
sation. There was no difficulty about
the matter, since everyone was friend
ly and communicative

a day we had become sol
well acquainted that lifetime secretsI
We're revealed, and the points of de-
rartme and the final designations we're
made known.

party was an old couple which would
have made a subject for a painter'sI

homely joys of habitual kindness and

THE husband was the exact type oil
a prosperous, intelligent, well-tO-doI
farmer. whose life reflected the refiningI
qualities of his companion. But upon
his face were the marks of ill-health,
and that gave us clue to the reason
for their journey.
1T was net long till the old man be-
gan to grow restless. and after a few
neighbOrly remarks, he came over and
engaged us in conversation. 1t was
not long before he was in the midst
OF his story, a plain unembellished tale,
but II held our attention enthralled.
He said. We are from Illinois. and
are on our way to California in search
of health. For several years my health
has been failing, and / have tried Flor

me that / must go to California, ana
that I must never come back. So if

faced Java monkey, owned Ly Dstec-
tive William r. Jones. Of the p, w. &
b. Railroad Company.
The Javanese died Wednesday morn
ing after a lingering illness. ana all
persons who knew the little fellow wsre
filled with regret. He was especially
petted by Mr. Jones and the ether Off
cials about the depot, and his death
cast a gloom over the local force.
Tom was gifted with more than or
dinary intelligence. and his master
took pleasure in teaching him many
amusing tricks. 1t was astonishing
how rapidly Tom learned his lessons.
and mis- retentive memory was wonder
ful.
1t was Toms delight to operate upon
a bald-headed man. and there are sew
eral of them around the depot. When
one of these men would seat himself
in Mr. Jones office the monkeys mas
ter would say: Take his hat off,
Tom"
With a devilish smile, Tom would
climb to the mans shoulder and un-
cover his victim.
Now scuse him. Tom" Mr.. Jones
would say, and in response the mon
key would perch itself upon the hair

him" which was to jump up and

Men of every walk in life have been

watching his antics He was gsntle
and loved children and kittens.
Tom was cremated in a private fur
mace Wednesday morning for which
ceremony he was wrapped in a wind
ing sheet and reduced to ashes.
A prominent undertaken promised
Mr. Jones that if the monkey died
while he was in business he would
give him a little casket, but Mr.. Jones,
who prefers cremation to burial, re-
spectfully refused the profrered cas-
ket.
