This is not defens of graft in the
government service. There is enough
graft, always has been and probably
always will be. When Benz. franklin
was the first Postmaster General, he
had to reprove some of the officials
post. masters under him for reckless
extravaganza if not actual dishonesty
in handling the $4,000 that it took to
run the department the first year
The first Secretary of the Navy,
Joseph Hewes also went officially on
record, reporting that there was spec
ulation in buying stores for the little
schooner Resolute.
But with all this there are lot of
honest men now working for the
government who do big things for the
country at large and get no profit and
but little reputation out of it. Re-
clamation Seryice is case in point.
That service which is we'll known to
everyone of the west, now has work
under way for the reclamation by irri-
CATION of 100000 acres of land. 1t
will ultimately reclaim 5O,OOO,0OO
with the water supply now IN sight
The land under all these irrigation
project jumps from nothing an acre
to fifty or $1,000 an acre as soon as the
project is declared. But the engi-
neers, and there are hundreds of them
engaged in the work, are prohibited
by law from making anything out OF
this appreciation IN values. And
there has not yet been breath ol
scandal about the service.
The Department of Agriculture has
had it's scandals, but there are plenty
of honest scientists there who each
year add millions to the value Of the
farm products of the country and gel
no personal profit out of it. The
Bureau of Plant Industry has recently
completed some work on providing {
long-staple cotton, almost as valuable
as Sea Island, that can be grown OF
the uplands; and in a few years thi:
will almost double the value of tb'
American Cotton crop. Yet the mel
VINO did the work made nothing on
of it and will not.
Now the Bureau of Public Roads
which officially has nothing to d
with crops, discovered incidental
the value of fertilizer for tobacc
made from finely ground granite
This simply means opening up an IN
exhaustible supply of fertilizer q

Wastes Many Bulls.

Bull fighting In Spain Is not suffer
ing from lack Of patronage, for during
the last year some 1900 bulls were
killed in lights. From three to six bulls
are killed at a performance, and nj
least $500 fights may be reckoned.
Bulls for fighting purposes are costly.
They are raised on special ranches and
are intended for lighting and no other
use. One Of the largest Is that OF the
duke Of Veragua. In Andalusia, and his
ranch has made . tremendous fortune
for him.
The bulls are smaller and more pug

Story Of q Travelling Nan Who Took
Quiet Little Nap in
Church.

Rev. Silas Gordon was q well-known
E~piscopalian minister in Saco, Me-, and
his Sunday sermons. familiar and prac-
teal, always drew large congregations.
On . Sunday morning in particular, q
dozen years ago, relates the Boston
Herald, he had in his audience Charles
Greene, q drummer, who hailed from
Lowell. who had promised his wife, in
tensely religious, that each Sunday while
on the road he would assist at some re-
ligious service.
Faithful TO his promise, he left his
hotel at Saco and followed a crowd of
%worshipers TO Parson Gordon's church.
From the excessive heat OF the week,
and from his arduous labors he was
quite fatigued. The sermon had be-
gun; the minister had quoted his text,
but II was not long before Greene was
seen to nod and fall into a deep slumber.
The discourse became gradually more
powerful and effective, but IL was all
lost on Greene. II was on The Grea;
Hereafter: Heaven or He'll"
Toward the finish the parson directed
all to arise who we're In favor of going
to Heaven. OF course. all arose except
Greene. When they had resumed their
places. he asked ell to stand up who
wished 10 go to hell. The noise made by
the people arising and sitting awoke
