A Natural Kicker
William W. Heffelfinger, the once famous kicker of the Yale football team, to whom President Roosevelt has offered a place on the civil service commission, has just been in Washington looking over the ground, says the New York Tribune. On learning the duties which would fall to him as a member of the commission Mr. Heffelfinger was sorely disappointed and went back to his home in Minneapolis with the president's offer still under advisement. Speaking of his disappointment, he said: "When I came down here I thought my job as civil service commissioner would be finding out infractions of the law and kicking people out of the government service. Now I find that most of my work would be getting people into office. There's no fun in that. l'd rather kick them out. I don't know whether I will accept or not."
