cabinet
WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 3.—
The principle of the local resident
for the local job is fu rth er carried
out by a ruling of the civil service
commission today.
H ereafter, the
commission states, only persons who
have their residence within the de­
livery of the office in which the va­
cancy exists, will be certified for ru r­
al carrier appointm ent. Heretofore
certification has been made of ell-
gibles residing within the delivery of
any oifibe in the entire county in
which the vacancy office Is situated.
The new procedure places applicants
for rural carrier appointm ents on
the same basis as applicants for post­
m aster appointm ents, so far as the
m atter of residence is concerned.
The civil service commission states
th at this change has been made af­
te r due consideration and meets with
the approval of the pest oftice de­

C o p y r ig h t. 1921. W e s te r n N e w s p a p e r L n : . n
©, 1)21, by McClure N ew sp ap er S yndicate
When Joe announced his intention
of marrying Constance his family had
warned him that he would have trou­
ble with a wife who was as spoiled
and selfish as Connie. But Joe, feel­
ing that she loved him enough «to
overcome her selfishness for his sake,
had paid no attention to the warning.
Now, after six months of married
life, the family’s prophecy seemed
about to be fulfilled. Connie was be­
ginning to assume a martyred attitude
and a habit of unmercifully nagging
him at every opportunity.
On this particular evening Connie
chose to be especially nasty.
“Business as usual, I suppose?” she
inquired, sweetly sarcastic, when he
came in late to supper.
Receiving no reply, and seeming de­
termined to provoke him, she tried
again.
“Do you know,” she asked, coolly
and deliberately, “sometimes I wonder
If it Is all business!”
Instead of hanging up his hat he
replaced It on his head and gave vent
to his temper.
"I am going out to a restau ran t!
Perhaps some day when it’s too late
you’ll come to your senses! I’ve had
enough!” Slamming the door angrily
after him, he left the house.
Connie was so surprised that she
forgot the half-framed retort that was
on her lips. Joe had never spoken
like this to her before. She began
to feel uneasy and wondered where he
had gone. After two or three hours
of trying to amuse herself she went
into the bedroom and addressed her­
self in the mirror.
“I don’t care!” she said aloud. “I
don’t c are ! I’ll show him. I don’t
care if he never comes back I” And
just to prove that she didn’t, she threw
herself down on the bed and cried her­
self to sleep.
•
• * * »
* •
When she awoke It was 11 o’clock.
How could she have slept so long?
And where was Joe? She wondered
if he really had left her, and began to
feel shaky. She decided to go to the
drug store for a drink.
While sipping a chocolate milk the
conversation of two men at the cigar
counter came to her ears.
“AVhere—at Geb & Simmonds?”
“Yes, today—shortage of $10,000."
“Funny inlx-up, anyone suspected?"
“No, not y e t; but nobody handles
the money except old man Geb him­
self, and that young fellow Joe.”
Connie waited to hear no more. Set­
ting down her glass with a thump that
startled the sleepy drug clerk, she fled
from the store.
Ten thousand dollars! So that Is
what her Incessant nagging had made
him do.
As soon as she entered the house the
telephone rang. With her heart In her
throat she answered It.
“No, he isn’t here, Mr. Geb. . . .
Yes, I’ll tell him to call you as soon
as he comes in. . . . No message?
. . Yes. Good-by.” She hoped
her voice had sounded natural.
So they were after him already.
The sound of quiet footsteps on the
stairway sent chills up and down her
spine. They had come already! What
should she do? With a show of cour­
age that she did not feel she went to
the door and threw it open. Her hus­
band stood facing her.
He looked very tired, and the hair
about his temples was damp with per­
spiration. Connie knew she had no
time to waste.
“Oh, Joe,” she began breathlessly,
“can you ever forgive me? It’s all my
fa u lt! Give It back! Don’t let them
arrest you!"
“For heaven’s sake, what’s the mat­
ter with you?” demanded the thor­
oughly bewildered Joe, fearing for his
wife’s sanity.
The insistent jangling of the tele­
phone interrupted before she could
answer. Joe went Into the dark hall
to answer it, barking his shins on the
umbrella stand as he went. Connie
listened in amazement.
From the
sheltering darkness of the hall came
her husband’s voice—firm, confident,
even laughing!
“Yes, I was going to call you, Mr.
Geb, but I was afraid it was too late.
. . . Yes, I found the error. . . .
Nothing missing at all. . . . The
joke’s on us. . . .
A fly-speck that
looked like a decimal point threw a
whole column of figures out of bal­
ance. . . . Tonight at the office.
. . . Oh, th at’s all right; you’re wel­
come. . . . Good-by.”
He hung up the receiver.
Then, all of a heap, a very penitent
Connie tlung herself at him, sobbing
out her story, begging his forgiveness
and almost choking him with the
strangle-hold of her arms about his
neck.
“You poor little chum p!’’ Joe said
teasingly between kisses.
He was
only too thankful that the miracle had
happened at last.
“Oh, Joe, I will be good,” she prom­
ised tearfully.
And thereafter she kept her prom­
ise, for the lesson of the night had
cured her, once and for all.

FOR DINNER TODAY.
True economy means wise distinc­
tion between essentials and non-essen­
tials. This applies to the
economy of strength as
well as materials. Fruit
and vegetables are essen­
tial to good health; eggs
are essential as meat
substitutes and not an
extravagance when mod
erate in price. Cream is
an easily digested f a t ;
milk is an absolute necessity.
A meal which does not meet the
needs of the body is not an economical­
ly prepared meal, although if the day’s
meals are balanced the result Is the
same.
Hamburg Steak.—Do not buy the
chopped meat but get a piece of round
steak, put it up with some suet or
pork through the meat chopper, season
with onion, salt, pepper, a bit of clove
and form into flat cakes. Broil or pan
broil and serve with a brown sauce.
Baked potatoes with boiled cream on­
ions will be good vegetables to serve
with this dinner. •
Chicken With Corn.—Scrub and
clean a fowl well by using a handful of
soda In the w ater; cut up as for frying,
i roll in seasoned flour and brown In a
! little hot fat. Lay the pieces in a
I baking dish and cover with milk, sim
mer slowly for two hours or longer,
depending upon the age of the fowl.
Season well when half cooked and
add a cupful of coni or more. The
fresh corn, cut from the cob. Is best,
but canned will do. Serve the chicken
with corn and gravy poured around It.
Stuffed Onions.—Parboil large-sized
onions, take out the centers, leaving a
cavity to hold the filling. Chop the
onion, which was taken from the cen­
ter, mix with cold sausage meat or
bacon and bread crumbs with season­
ings.' Fill the centers, pour around
add good beef broth or add water and
butter. Bake until the onions are ten
der, basting occasionally. Cover witli
a spoonful of buttered crumbs and
brown just before serving.
