NEW YORK, Jan. MARY
Stinson, in a temperamental mo-
ment, chucked an iron pot through
the window of varnish dairy
near her Greenwich street abode.
The gentleman in charge of the
bar had refused to enter Mary up
on his books as debtor for five
cents worth of beer, hence her act
of peevishness.
Mary was speedily incarcerated,
and the next morning beheld her
in the court of special sessions.
There is an iron cage in the court
room, in which prisoners are kept
till hailed before the Judge. Mary
was in the cage. She did not like
1t.
"Woof! Wool! Wool" she loud
ly cried, while another culprit was
being heard. "Yow! I'm a bear!
Let me out of this, and I'll eat you
up! Gr-r-r-r!"
Justice McInerny, his composure
visiby disturbed, ordered Mary
brought forthwith to the bar of
justice. 1t took two court officers
to get her there, clawing, kick
ing and pulling back. Finally she
faced the judge, painting and with
cleaning eye.
Before the magistrate could
open his mouth, Mary spoke. Its
bad enough for a respectable lady
to be brought into court" she

shouted. What chanst do l gel

Mary's comment on the judicial
garb did not please the Justice
at all. "Six months in the peni-

Mary. "I'd rather spend six

Three months would have been
the limit for Mary if she had been

she got her moneys worth.

Being confident that something
was wrong with the tariff, old Mr
Public called in DR.. Aldrich, but
instead of getting revised down
ward, he got revised upward. Now
Mr.. Public is being told that some
thing Is radically wrong with the
financial circulation. Watch out
for old DR.. Aldrich!
Senator Burton of Ohio, is get
ting some publicity these days as
a member of the Aldrich currency
commission, in favor of doing
something along the lines of the
Aldrich currency reform. 1t may
be that Senator Burton Is patriot
ically anxious to protect the
money of the people from the
palms of Wall street grabbers
but Mr.. Burton's constituents
will not forget that he voted on the
tariff bill ia times with Aldrich.
| am informed that the clerks
in the general postoffice who have
charge of the postal savings bank
are working every day now until
6 o'clock-two hours a day over
time without pay-and have not
yet got through with the Septem-
Der pass books! This is Postmas-
ter General Hitchcock's idea of
efficiency and economy.
.
Another idea of efficiency and
economy is operated in the post
office department is to decline to
fill vacancies for $1,000 and $500
clerks and to shave 5000 clerks
into those jobs and make them do
the work. Result: Inefficiency and
an actual cutting of wages at a
time when the cost of living has
increased 15 per cent. The condi-
tions in the railway mail service
are rapidly becoming intolerable.
When Mr.. Hitchcock gets through
with the postoffice department he
may show a bookkeeping surplus,
but what is the use of avoiding a
bookkeeping deficit of two or
three millions while congress, In

five millions additional to the al
