bend their great energies to the task Of
selecting q Clerk, Doorkeeper and Ser
geant-at- Arms. These are exceedingly
responsible and valuable positions. The
Clerk receives salary Of 5000 per an
mum, the Same as Congressmen. He
looks after the clerical force which Is
engaged in transcribing bills and reso-
lutions, sending them to the Public
Printer, fling them in the document
room, enrolling and engrossing passed
bills and all that sort Of thing.
The Sergeant-at-Arms is the paymaster
Of the House and his salary is $1,000.
The Doorkeeper receives only $500 per
annum and has all Of the hardest work
to do. He is the man who is most an
noyed with the dispensation Of patron
age. He has the appointment Of pages,
watchmen, messengers and laborers; the
result of which power is that he is har-
assed to death by the members who
have voted for him, each one Of whom
demands several appointments for his
constituents. In this position, as in the
Executive departments, there never can
be found enough places to go around.
The messengers receive the best compen-
sation among the subordinates, their

salaries being from s75 to 800 per month.
They are really assistant doorkeepers,
for they guard the north. south, east,
west and lobby entrances to the House,
and carry cards in to the members, to let
them know that some friends or con-
stituents are on the outside awaiting
their pleasure.
The little pages, however, hold the
real sinecures. They get S75 per month
each, and their duties are light for boys.
They answer calls of members, and
carry notes for them back and forth
throughout the Capitol, and occasionally
deliver messages for them in the city,
although the latter duty is especially
the province Of the messengers called
mounted pages" who are furnished
with good horses to carry them from
place to place in this 'city Of magnifl-
cent distances"
The holding Of all these offices Is set
tied, ultimately, by the caucus. Then
the lucky statesman who becomes
Speaker appoints the various commit
tees Of the House, and each chairman Of
committee SO appointed has the power
of appointment Of committee clerk, at
salaries ranging from 81, 1000 to $4,000 per
annum each. Thus, you see, there is
much determined by the caucus in addi-
ton to the selection Of the main offices,
for they are merely preliminary to tho
work OF the House. SMITH d. Fry.

her busy mind full of beggars turning
into Princes, she ran.
And now before we proceed further let
us examine our characters. Miss Merit,
a maiden lady, the eldest daughter OF
Henry Merritt. When her father died,
and she was yet in mourning, news came
Of her sister marrying a young man,
poor, yet who loved her. She begged
her sisters forgiveness, If not for her
for their little child. Miss Merit sent
letter, cold and chilling, denouncing
them all.
81 am your sister, you should have
asked me-" she said; ''a marriage Of
love, indeed; for such have no honor
And" she continued, 81 shall never
love or befriend the wife or child of
Horace Montgomery"
And so she wrote words cold and un-
feeling. The picture painted of his
wife and his little child with golden
hair did not prevail on her. But three
years later, when they brought Helen's
little girl to her, she took the little
orphan and promised to love her. Who
could help it?
1t was a cold winters day-the day
before Christmas. But ah! how differ

there had been no snow, although bleak
winds had been blowing for week.

"At the Merits"
Alas! too true; in minute the whole
house was ablaze, The flame was Creep

''Is every thing here? Yes, thank fort

'Where Is Florence?"
"Oh! heavens, where is she?"
The words went from lip to lip. Flor
ence stood in the top-story window.
"Who will venture to get herP Three
thousand dollars reward" No one an
swered. Oh, should the little girl only
be an addition Of fuel to the flames?
No! Some one started forward. 1t was

SAN FRANo1sco, November 81
Charles Montgomery, owner OF the
American Exchange hotel, has made a
statement showing that he has been the
victim of confidence operator, who has
succeeded in swindling him out of about
$50 900, and made it necessary for him
to make an assignment. Over two years
ago he met young man giving the name
Of E. Glencross Grant, who identified
himself with the Y. M. G. A. here.
Montgomery took an interest in him,
and finally formed partnership with
him in the agricultural implement bust
ness. A company was formed, known
as the Bull & Grant Farm Implement
Company, with stores here and
at Los Angeles. Grant was
placed in charge OF the Los
Angeles store, and Mr.. Montgomery,
who furnished the capital, has recently
discovered that Grant has contracted
debts and has also appropriated proceeds
from the sale of machinery amounting
to about $4,000. Grants record has
been looked up, and it has been dis
covered that his name is Glencross, and
that he had committed similar offenses
in London and fed to this country.
His whereabouts now are unknown.
Montgomery announces that he finds it
necessary to make an assignment on &C.
count OF Grants fraudulent transactions.
His liabilities are about 1920, 600 and as.
sets $3lS 900.
