shabby GentiIity-The lIisePies of n
WnshingIOn ClerkshiD.

Washington is q great big pauper
house for young clerks, anxious to grow
gray in the positions they hold, because
they have become untitled for anything
else. They have lost their individuali-
ty at home where they might have had
ambition, and they are simple menials
here. At first they meet the member of
Congress from their district with a
good morning" feeling that they are of
some Importance, as they had helped to
elect him to Congress, but this soon
wears off, as the member soon learns that
they have no longer influence at home
that they are in banishment-and they
gradually learn that they are only cx-
pected to touch their hat to the MEM
ber, for he is all powerful to keep them
in the places they hold. Their ambi-
tion and pride soon lower them, for
once a clerk never above q clerk here.
In little while new member appears
from the district, and the clerk is not
even recognized. If he retains his place,
for which there are always a new score
of applicants, sympathy keeps him, or
he is accidentally overlooked, If he
loses it, and has saved enough, and gets
back to his old home, he finds he "is
played"-he has not progressed with the
age-his old associates are in prosperous
business and he is pauper, with no
show for employment. There are scores
here, who have lost their places and are
ready to do any kind of work for liv-
ing, having toiled, some of them, for
months and years to get out of debt.and
save money enough to get home-for
they will continue to call the place they
originally came from, home; yet they
would be strangers if they could get
there.
