when he found that her love for him
was waning he went To her rooms
while she was at the theater and
took large dose Of laudanum. Be

Talk about hnoming a town

To tive Swink sale Of lots last week.
1T ID rapidly becoming a lost art.
We used to do it right down in Kan
sas fifteen to twenty years ago. We
staked out q town site where land
WAS only worth three or four dollars
an acre. We didn't begin with land
worth from SIS to 500. Then we
gave away q few Of the hest corner
lots to fellows who agreed to put up
signs reading. 'Three-story hank

will occupy this corner. etc. The
fellows who got the lots were ex-

boom. No! Well. that WAS q good
one. The boomers got word some
how that Jay Gould was in Topeka
and they wired him an invitation To
stop Of and see their new town.
Jay didn't know there was a lot sale
on and he consented. They met his
special car with carriages and drove
him around town and to luncheon.
As soon n Jays special pulled out
they got out handbills announcing
that he had decided tn establish
railway shops in Garden City that
would employ one thousand hands.
How the lots did sell that afternoon.
And Jay never found out probably
that they used him." said George.

Is often unable To make sense" Of
the statutes III which il embodies lis

one of the ludierous ensctments
70 be found in acts Of parliament Is
the statute for the rebuilding Of
Chelmsford Jail. The bill as orig
inally drafted provided that prison.
ers should be confined in the old jail
until the new one MAS built. but in
committee = clause wss added to the
effect that the new prison should be
constructed out Of the materials Of
the old, and the bill became lsv
before anybody detected this glsring
sbsurdity.
Then there is the ''ffty-second Of
George H.. chapter lA6," which en-
scts that the penalty imposed under
it shall be given half To the king
and half to the poor Of the parish
After the act had been passed ii was
discovered that the penalty which
the act provides is transportation
for fourteen years. The first inten-
ton was that the penalty should be
q fine Of $500. On second thought
parliament substituted . term Of
penal servitude, but it forgot TO
omit the clause providing for the
division Of the spoils between the
king and his INDECENT subjects.
Again, the Darlington improve
ment ac; Of ls.2 has definition"
which it would puzzle the most as
tute lawyer TO explain. Ii reads,
1.-The term new building means
any building pulled or burned to or
within ten feet Of the surface Of the
adjoining ground"
Such mistakes are due to cluInsi-
ness or csrelessness. Others -
amusing arise from the use or mis-
use Of technical language. Even
the lay member tries to copy the
jsrgon Of the lawyers, and the re-
suit frequently is that he confuses
every one, including himself.
one amendment proposed BY such
. member WAS worded ss follows:
-Every dog found trespassing on
inclosed land unaccompsnied by the
registered owner Of such dog or 9TH

CIVIL SERVICE
ANNUAL REPORT
In Spite of Executive Orders
Participation in Politics
Goes on as of Yore.

Washington. Dec. 5.-The annual report
of the United States civil service COM
mission issued today, states that there IS
still too great a disposition on the part
of persons in the classified service to par
ucipate actively in politics, in spite of
the executive orders issued from time to
time. The sentiment in favor of the merit
system is steadily growing. the commits
sion says, not only in congress, but also
among the states. four of which have
adopted civil service laws.
Inc commission held during the year
oS9 examinations and a total of 122 O3l
persons were examined, of which number
sS.O35 passed and II So were appointed. a
decrease of 1886 examined and 1.1s4 ap-
pointed. From 40 TO 50 per cent of the
highest eligible declined appointment on
account OF the low salaries offered BY
the government.
The government cannot hope to COM
pete with private employers unless ii PAYS
salaries that measure up fairly with the
standard of private business. says the re-
port in calling attention TO the difficulty

the last year in securing eligibles for the
