called sensational. He intends merely
to have each employee do the work for
which be Ii paid. Sweepers and drivers
viii work under foremen; foreman will
work under superinteAdents, and all OF
them will work under the Commissioner.
Hereafter the smpcrintendents will b.
held responsible for conditions in thsir
districts, while hestlers, stablemen and
the like will not BE- called on to bear the
burden Of their superiors, N it appears
they have under the last administration.
The condition DR.. BENsEL finds in his
department must remind the public Of the
sitsIasion Commissioner BINGHAM found
in the police force. Captains. ~sergeants,
rourudsmen. even patrolmen, were report
ing to headquarters direct, and the in
spectors seemed to have no responsibility
for their districts. General BINGHAM put
an enhto this ridiculous and chaotic prac~
toe. The inspectors were held to strict
ccouzt. With them, and not with their
subordinatee, the Commissioner dealt.
This one reform simplifed the task of
running the forceto a remarkable degree.
In all it's effects il has been good. A
similar result may be expected from tho
application OF the same system in the
management of the street cleaners.
The announcement that DR.. BENsEL
is to stay but three months in his
place is most unfortunate. Under the
most favorable conditions he could a.
complish little in that time. Acknowi-
edging that her is to be but a stopzsp
must reduce his efficiency considerably.
However, he hardly fail to leave the
department in better shape than he
finds it.

Pensions FOR Government Clerks.

The argument for Federal provision
for Government clerks when they have
reached an age which is presumed to
represent the limit of mental or physical
efieisncy rests ON the hypothesis that
all Government clerks vino have reached
or passed some fired aes linait are no
more than inefFcient psAipcrs, with at
least a moral claim on society for main
tenshcs during the remainder Of their
lives.
The Government is an employer, and

The Old. Old Story.

Hot. tired and dusty, the excursion was returning from the seaside day trip, and Simkins, a little bald man with big ears, overcome with his day of happiness, dropped of to sleep. In the hatrack above another passenger had deposited a ferocious crab in a bucket. and when Simkins went to sleep the crab woke up and. finding things dull in the bucket, started ex- ploring. By careful navigation MT. Crab reached the edge of the rack, but the next moment down it fell. alight- ing on Simkins' shoulder. Not feeling quite safe. it grabbed the voluminous ear of Simkins to steady itself. and the passengers held their breath and waited for developments. But Sim kins only shook his head slightly.

The bandages ready, she knelt be- fore him and tenderly swathed his wounds.
 There" she said as she finished, "now you'd better hurry. The soldiers are almost over and you'll be too late to get across dry" e
 He scrambled up, but, ignoring her advice, put one hand through a rent in his squaw's waist and began to search for something. Presently he brought forth package done up in dirty muslin and slowly unfastened 1t. A folded paper as soiled as its wrap- per fell out. It was worn through much handling and covered with pen ciled words. He handed it to Dallas.
 At first she could not decipher it, but after studying it carefully and placing together several detached bits she was able to make it out It was written scrawlingly and in a trembling hand.
 The bearer of this Tit read1, the good chief Red Moon, I commend to the gen. tleness and mercy of every God fearing man and woman. Once, out of the weak ness of the flesh, he wept under the tor lures of sun dance. Since then he has been abused, starved and spat upon. Yet hearing from me of Christ his suffering and his command to forgive he has put down his desire to revenge his wrongs In blood and gees on his way. laboring and enduring in silence. May God be gracious to whomsoever aids this least one among us.
 Here the letter ended, but under heath were the signature, so fingered, however, that Dallas could spell out only the word "David," and a blurred postscript, which said:

 The remainder of the paper was H. legible.
 When Dallas gave it back to the h. dian he wrapped it up carefully and returned it to his bosom; then he gath cred up the scattered chips, lifted his double load to his shoulders, drew his somber blanket close about him and shambled slowly away.
 Poor thing" said Dallas, in compass sion.
 He stopped to look back.
 "Goodby," she said as he went on "goodby."
 When he reached the river bank he turned again. The frost blighted cot tonwoods that bordered the Missouri were behind him, gleaming as yellow ly as if during the short, hot summer their leafy branches had caught and imprisoned all the sunshine. Against that belt of brilliant color stood out his spare. burdened frame.
 Watching. she saw his gaunt face slowly relax in friendly grin.
