Ills PLACE IN DANGER.

Jim Jones, an aged negro for many
years employed in The Senate stationery
room, is in danger OF losing his place.
Jones was the personal servant OF
President Jefferson Davis, OF the south
ern Confederacy, and was with him
when tina union soldiers effected his
capture in Georgia after General Lee s
surrender.
A year ago Senator Money, OF Mis-
sissippi saved old jim. Other demo-
Gratis are going TO try to save him this
time, but may not succeed, as the re-
publican steering committee has rec
commended numerous discharges to cut
down the Senate force of employment.
Jones claim to be the only man
living who knows where the great seal
Of the Confederacy was secreted.

Gently, and gave my word OF honor
to Mr.. Davis that would never tell.

and am not going to break it now that
he is dead On the day that the Jefter-
son Davis monument was dedicated in
Richmond two men offered me SIS
900 to tell them where the great seal
could be found. l looked at the money
miqhty hard, for I'm about the poorest
man you know. but no amount OF
money would make me break my
word to Mr.. Davis. There amt money
enough in the world to make me for
get that pledge"
Jones was free born" and says he
is proud of the fact that he was never q
slave. His mother was two-t thirds Cher.
okee, his father a Creole, and Jone:
was hired by Jefferson Davis in New
Orleans.
