Tavenner. | Washington, D. C.—Everybody | wants to know about the distribution | of patronage under the new adminis- tration. Every member of Congress of Democratic faith is receiving in- quiries and applications by the hun- dred. I came on to Washington at an .earlier date than I intended, to try to ‘discover the prospects of what will be done in a general way, but have found out nothing valuable or tangible. There is much guessing and news- | paper talk; but that is all. All things concerning the distribution of patron- ‘age are up in the air, so to speak. President-elect Wilson, who is rest- ing in Bermuda, has not, so far as is generally known, given any informa- tion of his intention on this subject. | Nothing definite will be known until he speaks. The only things certain at ' writing are: 1. President Taft has by executive ,order placed all the 4th class post- ‘masters under the Civil Service, that ‘is all postmasters drawing less than | $1,000 per annum. This means that {the present 4th class postmasters will | hold for life, or doing good behavior, junless President Wilson. revokes | President Taft’s order. Whether he | will revoke it nobody knows. 2. Most of the places worth hav- ing except those which have to be confirmed by the Senate have been |for some time under civil service. | This greatly lessens the number of | positions formerly available. 3. For twenty years the custom has been for federal officials appoint- ed for four years, such as postmasters, U. S. Marshals, etc., to serve out their terms unless they took part in polotics during their terms. Wheth- er this custom will be continued it is impossible to say. 4. President Taft is said to have declared his intention to fill all vacan- cies as soon as they occur.

What agony Dr. King’s New Discovery would have saved him. A few teaspoonfuls ends a late cough, while persistent }use routs obstinate coughs, expels : stubborn colds or heals weak, sore ‘lungs... “‘I feel sure its a Godsend to /humanity,’’ writes Mrs. Effie Morton |Columbia, Mo. ‘‘for I believe I would have consumption today, if I had not used this great remedy.’ Its guaranteed to satisfy, and you, can | get a free trial bottle or 50 cent or | $1.00 size at F.

The law says that you may be sentenced at hard labor for twen- ty years, but before passing sentence upon you I shall be glad to hear any- thing you wish to say.’ “T haven’t anythin’ to say, Jedge,”” said the prisoner, ‘‘except that I hope your Honor will remember that there is a growing feelin’ in favor of a sin- gle term o’ six years. You might al- so bear in mind that I’ve already served two terms and there’s a de- cided prejudice among thinkin’ peo- ple against a third——”’ “Twenty-seven years,” roared the | Judge.
