WITH THE LONDON eUsMeN.

Seventeen Hours 81 Day. and so Holidays.
No Time for Home Pleasures
Seventeen hours a day Ono hundred and
nineteen hours a week. That's my time. L
left the yard last night at five and twesity
minutes To =, and l was on my bus again this
mornin' at 'alf-past $. It's these long hours
that tell.7
But you get a holiday sometimes
IF we like to pay for it Whenever we are
off duty we don't get paid. Whoa, there"
And the speaker, smart whip among the
London omnibus drivers, ceases his conversa-
ton concerning his long hours of labor to pull
up his horses and sing out loudly the destina-
tion of his omnibus.
They are quaint and curious men, some OF
these London busmen, with a rich fund OF
drollery all their own.
"You See SIR said one, Il don't much care
for a holiday; I've been so long on this ere
bus that things look quite different like when
I'm i'm the street below. Ishouldn't know my
own children in the street"
"Oh come, that's too strong"
@Fact, tell We, sir; I'm always away in
the mornin' afore they're UP, and not home
till they're in bed at night, and | shouldn't
know my little gal il 1 was to meet her out,
especially if was to see her Off my bus"
Truly significant remark for a man TO
make i'm this latter half Of the wonderful
Nineteenth century-a remark not without
touch of satire and of pathos too; and we
find ourselves asking if it is a necessity of
our advanced civilization that men must
work so long and so continuously, day after
day, that they never see their children ex-
cept asleepf No sweet. simple prattle about
the fathers knee, no little fat, dimpled arms
around the fathers neck, none of the loving
softening influences which little people know
SO well how to exert over even the most
stony hearted of men. Surely. o Christian
civilization, these things are not necessities of
thy development.
But vet the bus driver rarely complains or
grumbles. He does not strike or congregate
in mass meetings, or commit acts of riot, but
he works patiently on, day by day, steering
his horses marvelously well through the
crowded London street. and surveying life
with philosophic calm from the altitude of
his box, except when child strays in the
way of his horses, and then his language is,
perhaps. rougher than are his real feelings.

Cured of Observation-Disclosures.

He came from Warren county with a
bee In his bonnet to become 81, 200 or
$1,000 clerk in the capitol. He bad taught
school up In far back Western county
district until about eight years ago, when
ne hired himself to an apothecary to make
pills at 80 much per pound. The pestle
blistered his hands 80 he came here on
Thursday and went before the State
civil service people in the government
building 10 be examined for a clerkship.
He would have passed with 100 per
cent. card in his hat had he been ex-
amined for neatness OF dress. In every
respect he was a bright and sensible
looking fellow. He got along all right
until Chief Examiner Morrison threw
these questions at him:
what was the nature and settlement
of the Alabama claims?
"How did Louisiana and California
come in possession OF the government and
whens
when did England come in possess
sion OF the Territory OF the State of New
York?
"Wnen was the original Constitution Of
New York framed and whereof
''What States border upon the Pacific
oceanr
he gave them up in one lump. He
came out of the examination room dis
consulate and wondering il the civil
service people had not made a mistake
and were examining him for possible
vacancy In the United State Cabinet in
stead OF a $1,000 clerkship in the State
capitol. He asked me what connection
the Alabama claims, the Pacific Ocean
States, the framing of the original State
Constitution, England's possession of
this State, etc., had to do with the simple
and routine clerical duties of TRANSCRIPT
ing official documents upon departmental
ledgers or The adding up OF figures or The
bending out by mail department circulars
or official papers. 1t was complete
mystery to him. He took the clerkshlp
bee out Of his bonnet and mailed it To
Col. Morrison as his legacy. Then he
took the first train for Warren county to
renew pill making and to solve the
mystery whether the civil service people
mistOok the position he was after, or
whether they hurled the above questions
at him for the purpose OF sending him
back home as quick as the fastest press
could take him.
