His name was Patsy Flynn and he was
just plain. big-fisted, fat-footed lrishman,
who saw his duty every day and did II In
the internal revenue office in Chicago. Then
he was absent for long time on account
of sickness, and they thought to drop him.
but Patsy had a friend high at court,
though he did not know 1t.
Controller Dawes of the Treasury Depart
ment heard about Patsys trouble and inter-
ested himself in the case He interviewed
the commissioner of internal revenue and
told the story which accounted for his con-
Germ In Patsy's affairs. The story was this:
In battle Of the civil war, on georgia
field, Mr.. Dawes uncle, who was major,
was badly shot up one day, WOUNDED IN the
back of his head and part OF his Jaw car

face nor his back. Patsy. who was pr,
vate, saw his majors plight, and realized
that quick trip to the field hospital was
on the cards. But there was no stretcher
nor other means Of conveyance at hand.
The major was getting weaker from loss
of blood and things looked desperate
Just then a teamster came along IN
wagon with a load Of mail. Patsy at
tempted to negotiate for a trip to the hos
pital, but the teamster was obdurate. He
had his ORDERS which did not contem-

was sinking fast.
"Orders be dom'd' said Patsy. rolling
I'D his sleeves "Get down off that seat,
We blaggyard," and with that he grabbed
the teamster, who resisted, and gave him
a good punching. When the teamster cried
enough he was requisitioned into helping
the major into the wagon and drove on,
with Patsy supporting the wounded officer.
Mr. Dawes had read this story In his
fathers memoirs, and when Patsy's case

In addition to dividing Wheaton district
this county, into two election districts. or
precincts, with one polling place at Sligo
and the other, probably, at Wheaton or
Kensington, it is thought probable that the
board Of supervisors of election will grant
the request of large number of voters of
Oiney district and make two districts or
precincts of that district with polling
places at Olney and Brighton. The two
districts mentioned are, next to Rockville
the largest in the county.

Tor the western hills to spend the summer,
taking with them military guards for their
protection, their intention being to come

Missionary Owen of the London mission
says all the reports, received by his mis-
sion from the provinces show the country
to be in deplorable state. Discomfort and
intense hatred Of foreigners prevail and
worse conditions than existed before the
siege are threatened. The departure of the
troops, he predicts, will be signalized by
massacre of the native Christians.
Those unable to recognize the facts, and
reporting otherwise to their governments"
says Mr.. owen, ARE as wilfully blind as
before"
