Dear Dad: The Chicago Tribune's
boom for La Toilette for 1912 Is well
coined. thought the Tribune would
see light.
The reason most people don't get
rich is because they are too decen- TO
pay the price-original.
When a casua. acquaintance rushes
up 10 you Oh the street and holding
you firmly by The lapel OF The coat,
hurls something like this at your
teeth: johnson not In II for Lin
ute-left-handed cuss from Boston!
- Put EN- over-made 'em fan
wind-worst iuke you ever saw, Fiji
teen thousand people out there! What
do you think OF it," What is II all
about? supposed he was discus
sing the Canadian reciprocity or some
thing OF that sort, but my Office boy
tells me ii was the first game Walter
Johnson pitched-and lost.
| see there is no chance for me To
get space for Aldrich and the None
tary Commission
| see that T. r. has been In Wis.
consin booming La Toilette. T. X.
is dead game, no doubt about II. He
takes his medicine like a man.
Everybody has heard Of the case OF
Susan Duggar, government employe.
seventy years old, who was saved
from dismissal or reduction the other
Gay by producing letter OF recon-
mendation from Abraham Lincoln.
There are many Susan Duggars who
nre not fortunate enough TO have let
tiers OF recommendation from Presi-
dent Lincoln. about whom the coun-
try does not hear. In their cases the
reduction and the dismissal take
place. My friend in the Treasury De-
partment held me up this morning to
tell me Of the latest case In her di-
vision. An old lady, seventy-five years
of age. the only support OF an in
valid son, and a feeble husband, was
reduced in salary and set to new
work The reduction and transfer
broke the old lady's heart and Satur-
day she dropped dead in the hallway
|. OF the Treasury building. This is not
an exceptional case. The 'reorgani-
zation" OF the departments Is being
attended with many an unnoted cas-
ualty.
