How Department. Chief Took q
Lady to the Theater.
A Washington letter to the Detroit
Free Press says: a new chief has been
appointed to one of the departments,
and he is not-well not exactly what
{ might be termed a gentleman, so far as
the little punctiiios of society are con-
cerned. The Office has lady who acts as
corresponding clerk at salary of $1,000
year. Naturally. she is anxious to re-
/ tain her place, and she paid attention
to the lighteSt command of the new
chief. She had been in the habit of
writing the letters herself, but the new
rhead of the department wrote his own
letters and handed them to her
/ to sign and mail. They were ILL
spelled and badly constructed as to
grammar, and the corresponding clerk
did not propose to send them out as her
own. So she wrote ''dictatedo over each
one. The chief saw this and inquired
it Or not, he was SO well pleased with
the word that he wrote it himself over
all his letters before handing them to
his amazed clerk. Then he said to her
one day:
what is the matter with your coming
away TO the theater to nlght?"
She stammered out something about
a previous engagement and he told her
the next night would do as well. Then
she went home, consulted with her
family and, fearful of losing the fat
salary, concluded to accept.
During the entire first act she har-
roweG her soul trying to imagine what
She Should talk about between the acts.
But the moment the curtain fell MIR.
Chief took a newspaper out of his
pocket and devoted himself to it until
the curtain rose. And this he repeated
between every act. The duty he had
imposed on himself proved as great a
bore to him as it did to ner. He has
never troubled her since.

NImbIe Wit That Won Its Posses

Chicago Herald.
One of the brightest advertising men
in Chicago made his rise through the
fall of another. 1t was some years ago
when as mere boy he was tramping
the streets of Chicago, broke and in
search of any sort of job
which offered. His last nickel had
gone for food, and one after
noon he was walking through down
town alley tired and disguised. Hap
penlng to glance upward he saw boy
leaning out of a window. In a moment
the boy lost his balance and fell to the
ground with the customary dull thud.
The discouraged man FASTENED to the
boys SHE and discovered that death had
been instantaneous.
Looking up at the open window from
which lie had fallen the man counted
the stories and then sought the stairway
near by. Mounting the stairs he dashed
into the editors room, for 1T was the Of
fee of the Prairie Farmer, and blurted
out: ''Do you want Il 0oy?" Looking
up in surprise tile editor an
swered: mo, we have a boy"
Then the man said: "I'lI

the window and Is dead. | want his
place" Investigation found that the
man was right, and he was engaged for
his pushing way. Since then he has
risen by degrees and made money, and
very few of his friends know how he
gained his place.
