Boy Did Not It and Nearly Got Trouble Know Into A bell boy answered the call of Mr.

Frank Storm, at the Bellevue-Stratford, yesterday afternoon. Ordinarily there would certainly be no reason to record the fact that a bell boy answered the call of a guest. But this call was not commonplace, at least, the result was not. It seem? that thi Mr. Storm, of New Orleans, has an the bell boy did not know it.

Of course, he was not expected to know. The boy entered the room. which chanced to be numbered 6S2, just as he would enter any -other room from which a call had been issued. Mr. storm was sitting reading.

Nothing extraordinaiy so far. Mr. Storm wa3 in no hurry to issue his orders to the bay; he was 4n the heart of an interesting paragraph, and the boy's eyes, as boy's eyes will do, wandered about the Being a good boy, a trifie desirous of a tip, perhaps, he looked about to do some service while Mr. Storm finished the paragraph. And it chanced that a service was right at hand.

Scattered on the floo'. in front of a table on which Mr. Storm evidently had been writing, and near the door, were some dozen or more letters. They might have fallen from the table; they might have been dropped: either event was perfectly natural. At any rate, the bov picked them up and replaced them on the table, neatly arranged.

Ere this the absorbing aragraph was finished. "Ice water!" said Mr. Storm, laconically, and resumed his reading. Kr-mler lb Hf-11 Hoy The boy hurried, because somehow Mr. Moiin's voice seemed to mean that he wanted that water right then and thcie.

Besides he had picked up the letters, which otherwise might have been walked on and spoid. and it looked to the boy as if a quarter might be in the game. Fifie-n cents, anyway." he suid to himself-, as he rapped for a second time at i-. in!" akl Mr. Storm.

Over the threshold, the boy hesitated. What could it mean, he questioned to" himself. Me had picked the letters up 'and carefully, replaced them on the i 'table. He was positive that he had h.1.0 Yet there they were on the floor again. Mr.

torm was apparently he middle on another ot thos pparagraph. The boy darel not speak, but he advanced across the room nteal- thily. When he had" arranged the water pitcher, he once again stooped to pick up the letters. Tie was very careful this time. He felt that some mistake had been mads, but he could not fathom the mystery oi it.

But suddenly he was enlightened. Down came the maeazine. and up jumped Mr. Storm. The boy recoiled, and the man from New Orlean strode across to the table, and.

taking the neatly arranged pile of letters scattered them belter ekelter across the floor between the table and the door. The boy gapped, not knowing what to make of such strange conduct. And for a moment it is jut possible that he thought queer thoughts of the guest in S2. Then Mr. Storm spoke.

His voice Was even, clear, and kindly. "Yiy boy." he said, "you will oblige me by not doing me thi kind of favor. You see, I intended those letters to remain on the floor. have a bad habit of forgetting to mail the letters that I white, especially if .1 leave them in some conventional place, so I always throw them on the floor, near the door, like that, and when I go out I naturally see them and take them with rue." Putting a half dollar into the astonished bov's hand, the guest from New Orleans "continued. "Now run down stairs and mail these for rr.e." Mounted Cop Run Down Spvial Th Inquirer.

Ten competitors were in this race, each weighing over 225 pounds, as follows: Christian Preiffer, J. Bayer.

After the races, preceded by a band. President Albert Hehoenhut, of the Canstatter Society, and the committee, all the competitors in the races paraded about the park. The youngest and the oldest Cannstatter occupied a prominent position in front of the fruit column as the procession marched by.

The youngster, who is Frederick Cre3'aufmiller, is just sixteen days old. and its proud father is Eugene Creyauf-miller member of the Committee on Arrangements. The oldest member is John C. Schoendienst. aged 75 years.

In the evening there was an elaborate display of fireworks, after which a toast was drunk by the members of the committee to the prosirity of the Cannstatter Yolksfest.

i i Take Tax Office Men Out of Politics Would Keep Them Out of Committees, Stop Door Bel! Pulling" and Campaign Assessments Fullerton T. AValdo. secretary of the Civil 'Service Reform Association of Pennsylvania, is after employes of the Tax Office of this city for alleged violations of the Shearn act. Mr. Waldo sent out this statement for publication yesterday: "'About a week ago John F.

Cody, a messenger in the Department of the lie ceiver of Taxes at a salar yof $120f a year, was elected member of the Republican Ward Committee from the Eleventh division of the Forty-first ward. "The attention of Secretary Waldo of the Civil Service Reform Association, was called to the matter, on the ground that the Shearn act of February 15. ltXXJ, had been violated. The act provides that no officer or employe of any department of any city of the first-claf shall serve as a member of. or attend the meetings of, any committee of any political party.

The act further provides for the immediate dismissal of any officer or employe who violates any of the provisions of the act. Secretary Waldo had an interview with Codv this morning at the City Hall. "Cody said he was familiar with the Shearn act, but that its proisions did not apply to the appointees of the Receiver of Taxes. Cody's attention wa called to the fact that while Act No. 327 of June 1907.

exempts the Department of the Receiver of Taxes from competitive Civil Service examination for appointment, the Shearn act of February 190. applies alike to all officeholders in the city government, and the law exempting the Department of the Receiver of Taxes from competitive civil service examination has nothing to do with the Shearn act which' forbids political activity on the part of city employes. "Cody was informed that the Civil Service Reform Association would take vigorous action if while still holding- office, he served as a member of the Republican Ward Committee, or any other political committee. Cody then said that he had not accepted the election, and that now that his attention had been drawn to the matter, he would be careful to avoid any violation of the law. Wonld Cnt Oat 'fBell Plllnjr, "The impression seems to have been Gaining ground that the employes of.

the Jepartment. of the Receiver of Taxes, are not affected by the Shearn' act; but the act is explicit," -and' no placeholder can legally claim to be exempt from its op- erarion. me act couia De eniorcea letter and in spirit, it would da away with the present practice of requiring minor officeholders to do political work, hich is often extremely distasteful to them, but which they continue to per form for fear of losing their, positions. Ihe tshearn act and Act Jno. of February 15, 1906, would do away with the canvassing rronx door to door, electioneering and political assessments.

"A policeman would not have to spll tickets to clam bakes and straw rides, or join associations which pretend to be', philanthropic, but are really political, in order to keep their positions on the force. -i "As it is now, many a. policeman or fireman feels it incumbent upon him to set aside a percentage of his salary for political purposes, knowing that if he fails to contribute to the funds of the organization, he is a marked man. "The Civil Service Reform Association intends; to see to it that the provisions of the Shearn act, and Act- iso. of February 15.
