WHEN BUTTON CAME BACK.
Explanations Were Neither Offered
Nor Seemingly Wanted.

II Is said that so years ago a man
named Dutton lived on the present
Squire Smith place. near tho bridge
crossing Sugar creek, on the road &c
Bean lake. One morning Mrs. Duttor
had bread to bake and sent Dutton out
after an armful of oven wood. as they
call II over thcre--heavy wood to pro
ducc q lasting fire. Dutton was some
thing of slow poke. and as he went
out his wife. who was something of o
shrew, said to him: "Now, don't be
gone five years"
The husband did not return with the
wood, and his disappearance caused a
big sensation. Some said he had beer
fOully dealt with, others said that he
had elopcd with woman. But ex
actly five years later he walked into
the house with an armful Of oven
wood, which he threw into the wood
box Of tho Kitchen stove. Ills wife
displayed no establishment. whatever
her feelings might have been. Nov,
she said, carry tho slop out TO the
pigs
Dutton carried tho slop out TO the
pigs, as directed, and resumed his old
place In tho household without com

Paper Of Nesdles sought BY United
States Navy Department Calls
Tor Proposals and Sealed
Bids by Contractor.

New York.--Thc United States gov
crnment recently purchased a paper
Of ordinary looking needles that cost
several dollars. Tits paper Of needles
thus far has the record for being the
most expensive IN existence. II cost
quite as much as though each needle
Il contained had been filed down by
hand from q crow bar
But they did not cost these several
dollars because they were intrinsically
wortls that much indeed, they can
be purchased ut the little corner no.
tion store for q nickel. The fact that
they cost dollars instead Of cents II
due to the rcd tape procedure through
which all requisItlons for supplies
needed by the government must so.
Not many days ago a rcq''isition
came from the Pensacola navy yard
to the Brooklyn yard for a paper OF
needles--thc kind used by seam.
stresses who do plain sewing. The
Pensacola authorities seem to have
been all ont of needles and II SO hap
pened that the local authorities were
out of them, too.
Consequently the general storekcep-
er made out a rcquisition. as per the
usual custom. III quadruplicate. Two
OF the forrier we.a forwarded TO the
bureau of yards and docks and the
bureau of supplies and accounts at
Washington respectively. There they
we're approved and returned to the
purchasing officer Of the Brooklyn
yard. This official then sent out sew
eral proposals for bids on tho paper ol
needles.
The contractor who submitted the
lowest bid---fivc cents was the size Of
it---delivered the needles. 1t cost him
exactly 20 cents to make the sale. He
spent 90 cents In car fare TO and from
Manhattan to deliver the goods. He
spent five cents I'm tclephoning about
tho specifications and four cents In
sendiug in his sealed bid. In return
he will receive In the due course oil
time check for five cents.
Figuring IN the cost of the needles
to the contractor at three cents. he
paid out 81 cents and will get back
but five. Asked why he thought II
profitable to submit a bid for the bust
moss. he said that he did lot OF busi-
ness with the government and fur.
nished the needles merely as an ac-
commodation to 1t.
But now that the needles have been
delivered. the general storcIccpef
must issue an inspection call and the
board OF inspection must examine each
needle and see that 1t comes up to the
specifications. 1t must then make a
| report In q,iadruplicate and forward
two forms to two separate bureaus Mt
Washington. The other two are filed,
onc with the storekccpcr and the 9th
er with the department OF yards and
docks. throlgh which the original
requisition came.
The final act in this red tape faVc
Is the sending of the needles by mail
or express TO the Pensacola navy yard.
When the cost of the stationery, the
postage and tho. clerks is all com.
putcd IL will bo found that the five.
cont package of needles cost the gov
crnmcnt more than as many dollars.
