FJJIDAV, DECEMBER 17, 1897.
Efforts ;ire now being made by quite
a number of members of Congress to
discredit the civil service law, and if pos
sible would no doubt accomplish its re
peal. While we do not believe in all the
methods used by the civil service com
mission, we do believe fully in the merit
system, and that all appointments should
be made from ascertained fitness, as near
as may be, and that continuance in the
public service should be based on the
actual results obtained in the perform
ance of the duties of the ollice.
Owing to a bad break in our press,
which makes it necessary to send our
forms seventy-five miles away to be
printed, The Outlook appears this week
with only six pages, and we hope our
patrons will excuse the slight delay in
receiving their paper. Next week we
expect to be able to issue the paper on
time, and will return to its regular size
eight pages.
A northern newspaper publishes the
following definition of fog as from a
North Carolinian. If it originated here
it only goes to show how ignorant we
are of such a misty subject: "Fog is
where the atmosphere and the hemis
phere come together. That produces a
great pressure, and causes the earth to
sweat. The sweat we call fog."
Try The Outlook for three months.
A LITTLE GIRL'S OPINION.
One of Our Nmall Xorlliern Visitors
Tll What Mie Thinks of IMiiehiirsl.
Dkak Mr. Spixxev:
I thought you might be pleased to
know how a little girl likes Pinehurst,
and so I write you this letter. You may
put it in your paper if you wish. We
came almost the whole way in a buffet
car which 1 thought papa called a buf
falo car. And I thought he said your
name was Mr. Spinach! Well, my play
mates in the North thought I would be
lonesome here without them, but it isn't
so. I am sure Mr. Tufts must love little
children, there are so many things to
interest them. J Jut first let ine tell you
how pleased mamma is that 1 can't get lost
here. 1 almost cried when she read me
about the little girl in the next village
who didn't go home after school one
afternoon, and the men who hunted for
her couldn't find her until nine o'clock
in the dark evening. This wire fence
about Pinehurst that keeps out the razor
backs and other animals keeps in little
girls and boys so that their mothers
don't have to hunt far for them.
It was told us there were so many nice
plants and flowers all around the village
that 1 would hear somebody calling out :
"Look out ! Don't !" if 1 should happen to
step oft' the path, but it isn't so at all. I
don't walk on our flower garden at home ;
why should I here ? 1 can play out of doors
nearly all the time, and 1 don't catch cold
and have the "snuffles" as I used to last
winter in the North. I like ever so much
digging in the dry sand. Papa and 1
have splendid times going to the deer
park. I like to go there every day.
Then he swings me in the little grove ;
and isn't it funny? he teters with me. I
wonder what the folks up North would
think to see dignified papa tetering ! I
hope Mr. Vale will snap-shot us so that I
can show the picture to our friends when
we go back home. I have a little tricy
cle, and the days are not long enough to
do all my playing and go to school too.
Sometimes we go to Southern
Pines on the electric car. I like
the ride very much and the short
visits, too. But I am always glad to get
back to Pinehurst. We have a nice little
home for the winter, and though at first
1 was lonesome for my Sunday school
we have one now and the same nice
teacher has my class there that teaches
me in the day school. Papa is getting
well very fast, and we are so glad he is
going back with his health. He thinks
Pinehurst is a pretty nice place and likes
the people as well as the bracing air and
beautiful sunshine. We didn't think we
were very far from home when the other
day papa's friend Mr. Benshimol from
Boston dropped in on us. And we are
making some new friends, too, like Mr.
Powell of Aberdeen who sent us some
nice quail not long since. I am going to
send their wings home to my little friends
North.
It makes me smile to hear our
folks flatter the good beds. But they
sleep from nine to ten hours every night
and that's why they enjoy the new mat
tresses and bedsprings, I suppose. Papa
went to Europe last summer, but 1 guess
he didn't gain all he ought because mam
ma and Aunt Carrie and I weren't with
him. That's why we are together this
winter. We are going to have just as
nice Christmas exercises here as at home,
and I am sure that the tree will be nicer

because evergreen trees grow all about
here. But I must close now. I like Mrs.
Spinney because she invites me to her
house and shows me pictures.

ABERDEEN.
One of the burning questions of the
day among some of Pinehurst's residents
is the why and wherefore of long delays
in freight via Aberdeen. One sufferer is
still waiting for goods shipped a month
ago.
Two ordinances attract the attention
of the visitor; one relating to Sunday
closing ; the other to the proper care and
disposition of all kinds of litter, such as
waste paper, etc. The Sunday law is
quite drastic in that if any store is opened
on the Sabbath it shall be prima facie
evidence that it is open for business, in
the absence of hurdy-gurdy carts pushed
by officials of the street cleaning depart
ment every householder must bear a
hand in picking up refuse or suffer the
penalty.
