Assistant Secretary Thompson at Work

WASHINGTON, July III called upon
Governor Thompson yesterday and found
him seated at his desk in the South wing
of the treasury, department, buried almost
up to his elbows in piles of vouchers,
warrants and other official business. He
appeared to be perfectly al: home in his
new position, and exercised his official
functions with the air Of veteran.
Seated around the large, we'll lighted and
Handsomely fnrnished room we're several
applicants for Office, waiting to:tell the
new assistant SECRETARY their old and oft.
told story. a smile of relief played
upon the new secretary face as he looked
up from his work and recognized your
correspondent, for he well knew that /
was not going to ask him for an office.
The, Governor says he, anticipates no
difficulty in transacting the routine off. !.
cial business Of his new Office and such
other business questions as may come
before him, but he has already. had a
severe test Of endurance in dealing with
the ofice.seekers. He says he can with
stand the appeals of men, even the re-
quests of Congressman, but the heartrend.
ing enheaties of weeping women are in
some instances very affecting and calcu.
lated. to make a. deep and lasting impres.
sion upon any man having 9 heart. For
over two hours yesterday he was obliged
to sit patiently and listen to the appeals
of ladies who were originally appointed
asi substitutes, but who now seek to be
reinstated their temporary appointment
having expired. The Governor is but
travelling over the same ground and
undergoing the same experience as his
predecessor, and ke will have to try and
endure the situation, for he cannot grant
relief TO = per cent. of the applicants
who infict him with their trials and suf.
ferings.
Governor Thompson has engaged apart
menta az 1905 / street, Northwest, one
Of the most desirable localities in the
city. He expects to return home on
Saturday for the purpose of bringing his
family to Washington Correspondence

Care of the Aged.

Do the young people ever think that they
will be old; tina. they will soon feel that
the grasshopper is burden, and fear is in
the way? Only few short years ago that
aged man and feeble woman we're young,
strong. and full Of life their loving hearts
were gushing with tenderness and care for
the little ones who now stand in their
places. Do not jos,le that aged couple out
of Your pathway hut rather lift them
with tender care over the rough, declining
road. YOU may have forgotten how care
fully they kept your tender feet from
stumbling, and with what care they watched
your advancing steps. But they have not
forgotten, and tine time will come when you
will be forcibly reminded of it by the love
you have for your own little ones. Will
they hand you the same bitter cup to drink
that you pour out for that aged father and
stricken mother Verify, "with what meas
ure you mete, it shall be measured to YOU
again" Think of the anxious days and
nights your mother has watched BY your
sick bed remember her loving care, her
patience and long suffering with your fret
fulness, and then let the blush Of shame dye
your brow, that you should be imp atlent or
unkind to her, now that she is old Old
folks, are such trial. Yes, they know il
and they feel it, and so will you be just such
a trial to your children in the days that will
surely come ay, and you will remember.
