DIDN'T HAVE THEM ABOUT HIM
Mayors Appointments Are Safe Until
 the Proper Time.


 the Proper Time
 Mayor Kilduff was asked to-day by a Democrat reporter for a peep at the document containing the names of his appointments to the several boards. His honor smiled, looked grave and then put his hand toward his inside pocket. The reporters heart jumped into his throat and he could scarcely contain himself at the idea of such a scoop as he figured on having on his competitors when the mayor dashed his hopes 10 pieces by stating that un- fortunately he hadn't them about him. '.I suppose" he said, winking his off eye. you'd give something handsome to get such information as that in ad- vance, The bluff angered the scribe so that he walked off without even wishing his honor the compliments of the season. 4 fellow would not be likely to lose his money if he should say that no one outside the mayor himself will know who the members of the boards will be until they are read before the aldermen. It is q good plan, too. If they were made known now probably some folks would not spend Christmas as pleasantly as they will by leaving them guessing II is thought. however. that there Is not as much of q race for appointments this year as there was two years ago. This is but natural At that time there was a change of administration and everybody knew there would be all new boards. It IS different now and no doubt this has something to do with the timidity people show ill asking for places so ably filed by nearly everybody connected with the administration which is soon to pass into history. But there is no use de nying the fact that many are out for berths on the board of public safety. Why this should be so is a. mystery to some people. It is the only board connected with the city government where q man cannot serve without making q raft of enemies. It would seem that people who have political aspirations or business interests to guard would fight shy of such places, for it is q notorious fact that it does not help mans business and i'll many instances it proves the grave of polit- ical oblivion for those who serve there. no matter how we'll they perform their duties.
