~ havo observed that the only authors
known in America are editors of magazines.
The most feeble writers in the country, by
pulling each other without paying u cent,
they get ali the fame going. Our journalists,
who write much better than the magaziners,
AVE been robbed of their names by our
mercantile press. IS far as fame goes they
might as well be convicts and answer to their
numbers"

thing for you, but how about the men who

secret II l were sure YOU would never

Come TO the point" / answered severely.
You would employ only the b~est-known

H GOOD OLD TIMES

When Per Diem Officers Took Things
Easy.
Washington Cor. Philadelphia Record
"In the better days OF the republic said
an old official, I've civil servants did not
have to work 50 hard as we do now. In fact,
before the war it was considered quite unoGR-
cinl to do much work during Office hours.
The idea of a per diem official of any sort
working as hard us some men who are paid
10y the day work now would have been con
sidered perfectly absurd. l remember my
friend Street, a very elegant Virginia gentle
man-he always played with red checks
was once given some Federal employment at a
per diem. He had q sallow-faced schoolmaster
from Maine, who had been living on $3.50
n year, as an assistant. Street went off one
night soon after his arrival on a regular old
fashioned time He visited all the bars and
banks In town, and patronized them all.
He dropped all the money he had left into
the tigers mouth.
The morning after he sobered up he walked
Into his Office. The Yankee assistant came
forward smiling and bowling. I've finished
nearly all our work, SIR he began, showing
Street a great mass of manuscript; I've been
working min hours a day, sir; / can work a
little faster and longer, sir, II you desire
Street was speeches with rage. Tear that
stuff up he said to the poor clerk, and throw
it in the Ere, and don't let me ever hear
again of your writing more than a page and
n half n day. Why, you're taking the bread
out of the mouths of my wife and children.
The clerk soon learned wisdom. They staid
in office for years After a while the clerk,
who had never seen 80 much money In his
life, came 10 Street to say: I don't know what
TO do with my money, sir Il know a bank,
said Street, where a wild time grows;' and
that night he showed that ~benighted Yankee
all the faro games in Washington. The
Yankee came on 50 rapidly that he was soon
borrowing money ct . per ca4t, per month. u
