How He Got an ONCE.


Office seekers. If they are wise, win
profit by this story. A young man from
North Carolina went to Washington 10 Sc
cure an appointment He had petition,
good references and all that sort Of thing
He kicked his heels in the ante rooms and
lounged about the hotels for weeks some.
how the great men were slow. and he
failed TO get an Office. His money was all
gone. and il was . desperate case with
him He took the first job that came to
hand and went TO work on the streets.
Some of the great men noticed this The
matter was whispered around until il
reached the proper quarter. Then q good.
fat Office was given to the young man,
sh6 he was made happy.
There may be nothing in this story. Il
may be that the Washington street com
missioner finds lsborers scarce and he
may have circulated this report In order
10 get several thousand able bodied hands
And even il true it may turn out like the
story of the good little boy who picked
up pin in q store and was forthwith
given a clerkship Ii will be recollected
that after the publication of the incident
all the stores in the country were crowded
with little boys picking up pins
