Deserves to Lose His Job.
Washington, D. C, June 2 On last
Tuesday, Memorial day, Joel Grayson,
a citizen of Vienna, Va,, andan employe
of the Capitol, thought it would be fit
ting to place a wreath of flowers on the
bronie statue of Robert E. Lee, in
3ia"tuary Hall. .-.He did so, and many
persona who chanced to pass by were
attracted by the sight, although there
was no United States flag, which con
spicuously adorned the statues of Union
soldiers. As ' soon, however, as th
eagle ey of a Capitol policeman caught
sight of the flower, down they ca ne
with the statement ttat that was not
the time to decorate Lee's atatue and
ether remarks of si miliar tenor. The
,C 25 ft ory f. aked out torla, and it is under-
toon tnat.tne otneer rray lose nis posi
tion as th result of his oversealousness.
