Some That Arc Up to the Standard Of
Printing-Once Blunders.
Since the mistakes Of Moses no class of
people has made such peculiar and ludt
crous errors as the stenographers, when
you take into consideration their general
brightness and cleverness. A prominent
Treasury official gives the Talking Ma
chiuen OF the Washington Post the benefit
of several which have been of recent occur
renee IN his Office.
Being in hurry for certain special plans
he dictated letter TO the photographer,
requesting him to rush the work as speedily
as possible and forward it to the Treasury

MARTIE'S CHANCE.
How She Proved That She Was
Of Some Use.

don't see how person Is going to
do 1t unless they've got chance"
Which remark, though ungrammati-
cal, was very earnest. Earnest, too,
was the expression of Martie Mayberry's
face as she sat on the threshold of the
back door.
Somebody has said that front door
is sort of index to the character of the
inmates of the house. / think a back
door is still more so. Slovenliness and
general forlornity have a chance of being
exhibited there If anywhere. But it so
happened that Mrs. Mayberry was one
of the neatest of housekeepers, and, be-
sides, she liked things pretty where she
worked. So her back door was wreathed
about by ''scarlet-runner" that all
summer long held close competition
with pink and purple morning-glories
as to who should climb the highest.
Beneath them in all shades of gold,
gay nasturtiums, and even the little
path leading down to the vegetable gar
den was bordered by tall red hollyhocks
and spicy sweet williams.
1t was a place where the bees loved to
linger, and on this particular afternoon
they were the only live company Mar
tie had, for Mother Mayberry and the
baby had gone down to Aunt Letty's.
Martie had stayed at home to prepare
fathers supper when he should return
from his days work. She had made no
objections to assuming this responsible
ity, for, though only fourteen years old,
she was q girl of considerable self
reliance, and, if the truth be told, rather
gloried in being considered a person of
Importance. And that brings me back
to the opening sentence of my story.

the roots Of his hair, but his experience
did not save him from falling into second
phonetic pit within fortnight. A certain
young naval officer was seeking preferment,
and as step toward the goal of his desires
was filing strong Endorsements from vari-
Gus quarters. Among others to whom he
applied was the Treasury official. The lat
ter knew the young officer as a diligent,
studious gentleman of fine abilities and at
tainments. He resolved to give him as
warm commentators as pos ssible. Turning
to the stenographer the official dictated q
eulogistic letter to the proper direction, and
mentioned his subject as having been on in
innate footing at the house Of the COM
mandant of one of the Federal navy yards.
When the letter was handed in for his
signature, judge of the officials horror
when he read in the midst of an otherwise
cordial and satisfactory letter the following
startling sentence:
HE is on intimate footing at the common
dance-house, where / have met him fire.
quently."
That letter was revised in hurry.
The same succession of confusable words
placed a Washington lady of high social
standing in an embarrassing position. She
was visiting the family of the commandant
harbor. She went shopping one day with
the Commandments daughter After max
ing her purchase at one of the big dry-goods
stores on Washington street she directed
the clerk to have them sent to her address,
Commandments house, Charlestown navy
yard
"W-wheret" asked the clerk.
"Commandant's house, Charlestown navy.
yard"
''They look like ladies'" muttered the
clerk under his breath. "Did understand
you to say common dance-house, Charleston
navy-yardp
"Yes," answered the lady, impatiently.
"Have them sent at once"
The purchases came, and the driver Of
the delivery wagon succeeded In placing
them without much trouble, but they were
addressed to Mrs. Blank, Common Dance.
House, Charleston, Navy Yard" She still
preserves the box lid with the address on
it, and shows It to a select few Of her
lady friends.
The same official Is responsible for still
another story:

some things that were done for him.
"All right, my child" and Mr.. May
berry looked relieved and pleased. ''Run
right along, and see what you can do l
know L can trust you to do nothing
rash"
Without stopping even to take off her
workapron, Martie seized Neila's cold,
trembling hand, and the two girls ran
swiftly across the road to the great
house. 1t was the first time that Mar
tie had ever been there; she had always
been too shy and proud to make any ad-
vances toward forming a new acquaint-
ance. But she forgot all such things
now as she entered the spacious room,
brilliant with gas-jets and elegant fur
niture, which seemed to render still
more CHASTITY the white, pain-wracked
face of the suffering baby.
SIS he dead? Oh, see his poor little
clinched hands! Oh, he must be dying,
poor Benny!''
To which Elise, the trim maid, with
her coquettish cap somewhat awry, re-
piled by hysterical "Helas! Pauure
enfant!"
He isn't dead" said Martie, quietly,
as she lifted the rigid little figure from
the dainty, rose-lined crib, and began to
take off the little garments. "Is there
any warm water?"
''Lots of it in the bathroom" was
Neila's eager answer.
"Welf, we must undress him and put
him in warm water-just as warm as he
can bear-up to his neck. And we must
bathe his head in little tepid water
with some spirits in 1t. Cheer up, Neila,
I'm sure he doesn't look bit worse than
Mrs. Browns baby, and he got over 1t
all right"
Now that there was some one to take
the helm and give orders, Elise reused
herself from her limp state and, with
her help and that of Neila, Martie soon
had the satisfaction Of seeing Bennys
rigid limbs relax, his flesh grow warm
and rosy and his eyes resume their nat
ural expression. Just then the family
physician came bustling in. He gave a
glance of approval at Martie from be-
meath his shaggy brow, and uttered a
commendatory grunt, with: "Very good,
very goodl 1t all depends on taking

babies. You're your mothers own

grand nurse out of you some dayI'
1t was a very happy heart that Martie
carried home that night. And as she
said to her mother, when the latter came
home from Aunt Letty's: sit wasn't very
wonderful thing to do, you know, NAM
ma, just thinking about warm water,
and remembering what had heard you
say ought to be done. ia such cases, but

EVERY YEAR.

Life is count of losses
Every Year;
For the weak are heavier crosses
Every Year;
Lost springs with sobs replying
Unto weary autumn's signing,
While those we love are dyingl
Every Year.
The days have less OF gladness
Every Year;
The nights more weight OF sadness
Every Year;
Fair springs no longer charm US,
The winds and weather harm US,
The threats of death alarm US
Every Year.
There come new cares and sorroWS
Every Year;
Dark days and darker morrows
Every Year;
The ghosts Of dead loves haunt US,
The ghosts of changed friends taunt u
And diSappointmentS daunt US
Every Year.
To the past go more dead faces
Every Year;
AS the loved leave vacant places
Every car
Everywhere the sad eyes meet US,
In the evenings dusk they greet US,
And to come to them entreat US
Every Year.
u You are growing old" they tell US,
Every Year;
u You are more alone" they tell US,
Every Year;
You can win no new affection,
You have only recollection,
Deeper sorrow and detection,
Every Year"
Too true! Lies shores are shifting
Every Year;
And we are seaward drifting
Every Year;
Old places, changing, fret US,
The living more forget US,
There are fewer to regret US
Every Year.
But the truer life draws higher
Every Year;
And its morning star climbs higher
Every Year;
Earth's hold on US grows slightcr,
And the heavy burthen lighter,
And the dawn immortal brighter,
Every Year.
