It is the popular impression that the `smaller affairs of government are very loosely run and that in any of the de4 - partments are opportunities for fat pick- ` ings _by any man not overscrupulous. As evidence of the incorrectness of this theory one of the treasury department employees relates an incident of the rst day of Mr. Car1is1e s- administration. Secretary Foster had` occupied one chair at his desk for a `long time, and. as men will, had become attached to it. He ex- pressed a desire to take it with him. Certainly, said his successor, take . it along." It was more easily said than done.` First an order was necessary; then the chairwas to be accounted for to the ocial who has such matters in charge: then it was to be_ paid for. It was a. valueless piece of furniture. As a short way out of the diiculty the ap- praiser was sent for. He eyed the wreck ` over and said it might be worth $2 to anybody who wanted it very much. 1: A11 ...'....1.4.
