Make il Answer His Purpose in This
Case.
In an attempt to justify the removal
Of Miss Todd from the Greenwood post
Office. Postmaster General Payne is stnl
at work trumplng up charges. He is
still giving out the story that Miss
Todd denied that she had admitted al
lowing political meetings to be held in
the post Office
Mr.. Payne suddenly finds another ex-
cuse FOR dismissing her. II Is that a
Union Republican state Senator made
complaint against her. This is regard
ed as a serious admission on the part Of
Mr.. Payne. as no investigation or at
tempt made TO substantiate the
charges. II IS said that state Senator
Pennewill is the man referred to. This
IS regarded as peculiar, because some
time ago Mr.. Pennewill told Miss Todd
that there were no charges against her
and that she could not be removed.
The Philadelphia Press this morn
ing published a story from Washington
70 the effect that the rules were fol-
lowed Ia the Todd case and has an in
terview with Civil Service Commission
er Green. Ia which he denies there Is
any conflict between himself and Payne.
He also tries TO make it appear that
certain sentences In letter written
by President Roosevelt last year ap-
plies to the Todd case.
This part OF the letter Is set In black
type
Oniceholders must not USE
THEIR OFFICES TO CONTROL
POLITICAL MOVEMENTS, must
not neglect their public duties. must
not cause public scandal by their
activity; but outside of the classi-
fed service the effort to go further
than this failed so signally at the
time when the Eleventh Report
which you have quoted was writ
ten, and its unwisdom had been so
thoroughly demonstrated. that l felt
IL necessary to try to draw the dis
tinction therein indicated.
. Mr.. Payne gave out an interview tell
ing another reason why he felt justified
In removing Miss Todd. He said:
zone OF the State Senators and othe
: persons I'm Delaware had represented t
r me that Miss Todd had rendered her
$ self so Objectionable that they won
not even go TO the post office for the
mail. In fact. she oven boasted to m
that she and her brothers were talxin
an active part IN the politics OF Della
ware in opposition to the Addicks fac
tion. and that the post Office had beel
used as the headquarters for the meet
ing of politicians"

He Remembered.

Jamie's mother, says the New York
Times, had been a teacher before her
marriage, and although a period of
seven years had elapsed since that
suspicious event, the trail of the
schoolma am was over her STILL and
she never lost a chance to administer
a useful knowledge pill with an anec-
dotal coating. An opportunity of this
nature was given her the other day,
when Jamie came in and. placing his
hand over his heart, asked his learned
mother what that thing was that tick
ed so loudly inside him every time he
ran. Then his mother, glad to prac-
tice her faVorite theory of proceeding
from the known to the unknown" told
her offspring that the ticking" was
done by natures clock, called the
heart; that every time we ate a meal
we wound up this clock afresh, and,
should we finally stop eating, why, the
little clock inside us would stop for
good, and we would die. Jamie SEEM
ed duly impressed and the incident
closed.
About a week later Jamies mother
gave a luncheon to a certain Execu-
tive Committee that met at her house.
She was a surprising woman in many
ways, and determined to outdo the
popular proverb that concerns itself
with children being seen, but not
heard" by not permitting Jamie to be
either seen or heard Consequently he
was relegated to the playroom until
such time as the maid would be at
liberty to attend to his wants How
ever, his mother had failed to reckon
with the ravenous appetite of a grow
ing boy, and just as the Executive
Committee was becoming specially
executive" Jamie burst in with:
Say, mamma. I'm mos starved, an
my little clock is mos stopped, an
Will you please let Katie wind me up
with some lunch, or I'll soon die, l
guess!"
1t took considerable explanation on
the part of Jamies mother to allay
the dawning suspicion that her child
was an idiot; and even then she caught
two members exchanging plying
chances as they adjusted their hats

Good Sir Valentine is rapidly being
transformed from the patron saint of
loving hearts into the head of a gift
enterprise. If he keeps up the pace
established for him this year, he will
soon rival st. Nicholas
1t seems only yester-year since the
amorous swain gave expression to his
feelings in burning words, hidden in
the depth of paper lace and impossi-
BILE cupids. Now the approach of the
affectionate old saints day finds the
young mans thought. IL not his fancy,
turning toward violets at advanced
prices, bonbons in extravagant recepta-
Giles. and gifts quite out Of the old sim
pie spirit of the day.
A fashionable shopkeeper insists that
the vogue of valentine gifts is largely
a matter of evolution, and that for sew
eral years they have been growing
more general, more personal and more
expensive. A young man who usually
is satisfied with sending the object of
his admiration flowers, bonbons or
books. now selects a gift that will show
relations of a more intimate nature
Fiances, especially, let their imagina-
ton and their purse strings run riot.
Heart-shaped gifts too, seem to have
exhausted themselves, and are not
largely shown this year. OF course,
there are suggestive articles Of jewelry,
including bangles for bracelets and
lockets in the form OF tiny hearts. while
your true lovers knot comes in silver.

A Hopeless Discomfort.

Every girl of character, says the
New York Tribune, after one or two
winters of gayety, is apt to feel much
like Hiawatha-
master of Life" he cried despond-
ing.
Must our lives depend on these
things?"
81 cannot help asking myself whether
all this is worth my WHILE" exclaimed
beautiful girl discontentedly the
morning after ball. Take last night
for instance" she continued. II did
not enjoy it in the least. L was obliged
to dance the cotillion with one stupid
partner and go in to supper with an
other, neither of whom was a man
cared especially to make a friend of.
Both were simply the necessary con-
comitants of a ballroom. And yet
had to keep up smiling and talking
and appear to be enjoying myself i'm
mensely. What a farce it all isl /
Kept thinking to myself, and why
should 1 keep it up any longerY
Many girls express themselves in
this manner, and are quite genuine in
their wish for some radical change in
their lives, but few, when it comes to
the point. have the courage of their
convictions and are content to stay at
nome while their world is presumably
enjoying itself. Like the victims of
the tarantula, they feel impelled to
dance, whether or no, and only the
end of the season brings relief.

A Romance in Rumes.

l wore this frock when first we met,
One summer afternoon.
An airy muslin, frilled and flounced,
With sprays of roses strewn;
This was the gown of yellow crepe,
By Felix deftly planned,
That marked the dinner where he
dared
Gently to press my hand.
This pale blue chiffon, silver-fringed,
A dream of elegance,
Was witness of the tender hour
When we sat out the dance.
And he, in tones of music, begged
One little flower: and this
Pink satin robed me, when, beneath
The moon. he stole a kiss.
This was the simple, girlish dress
OF pure and fleecy white,
In which he vowed l looked so sweet
He could not say goodnight,
And bent his dark and handsome head
To my enraptured ear,
And breathed the low, imprisoned
words:
Il love you, love you, dear!'
This sweeping silk of somber black,
With bodice close and high,
1 wore the rainy day he called
To bid us all goodbye.
Behold how soon the moths have made
The dainty thing their prey;
His passion, too, was flimsy stuff,
He loved-aHd rode away!
Minna Irving, in the Smart Set.
