been the wife of Mr.. Fitzpatrick

A Nice Question.

~ IS. indeed, a problem" says thu
man with the deep-set eyes, rubbing
his chin thoughi:uiiY.
What is problem ;" asks the man
with the dejected muEtache.
IF man is born hairless, would he
be bald9"
Surest thing you knew"
Perhaps yet. LiNten In or
der TO become bald II is necessary to
be provided with hair. Balduess is the
condition occasioned by the hair fall
ing out. Ergo. If man has no hair
TO lose he can never become bald. Do
you see? You might as well try to
play the market with no money as to
get bald with no hair to lose and
make you bald. ] confess that In one
analysis Il would seem that the man
would be bald. and yet, as say. how
can he become bald IL he have no
hair TO lose originally? You might as
well argue that a man who never was
fat can become thin. when he has no
flesh TO roduce. And yet, again. Ia
king the other view of Il, II the man
have no hair he necessarily is bald,
but still how can he be bald II no

Madison.--The validity of the state
civil service law, in some of its
phases at least, is likely to be
brought to an immediate test of the
supreme court by reason Of the refer
ence to the attorney general by Sec
rotary of State Frear, for an opinion,
rs to the legality of certain EXPENSES
incurred. and which the attorney
general advises are Illegal and that
audit should be refused
In several of the safe DEPART
ments questions have heretofore been
raised. as to the powers of state Of
fieers in matters of appointment.
where they have differed with the
views of the state civil service board.
and some of them have reached the
courts. 1t has been reported that
the attorney general himself would
begin an action to test tae constitu-
tionality of the law as to appoint
ment in his Office.
The question, however, is now
brought up in new form by Secre-
tary of State Frear. owing to his
doubt as to the validity of certain
bills and his request for an opinion
as to his right TO pay them. He is
advised that they are not authorized
by law and the attorney general
recommends that one of the members
of the civil service board proceed by
mandamus at once to secure a speedy
settlement of the question by the SUI
preme court of the constitutionality
of the state civil service law.
One of the bills, although the name
is not mentioned, evidently is for
expenses ($2S2.93) incurred on a
trip east by a member and secretary
of the state civil board which re-
suited in securing the appointment
of Prof. Bumpus of New York as
financial agent of the state univer-
sity at a salary of $4,000 year. The

tary of state that there is no provi-
sion authorizing the commissioners
