How New York Brokers Clerk Makes
Pine Appearance on Ten Dollars n Week.
"Why do / try tomake such bluffr
said a ten-dollar-a-week Wall street
clerk the other afternoon, as he alighted
from a coupe in front of the Fifth Ave
nue. hotel and sauntered up Broadway
with the air of n millionaire. why,
my dear fellow, for the simple reason
that appearances count for everything
nowadays, and the best way to get
rich, if you are poor, is to look rich.
To begin with, my salary is $500 per
year. Out of an income of 81, 200
which my mother has she allows me
$500 more; total, 81, ,020; and there |
am. dress and appear like young
man who had FIVE times that much,
and my employers, who are the only
persons who really know what my
salary is, are of the opinion that have
rich relatives in Boston who make me
a handsome allowance.
"They considerme a very industrious
chap, | can tell you, for desiring to
work at all, and the chances are that
they will increase my salary and give
me a place of more Importance very
shortly. To keep up appearance have
to practice a great deal of self denial.
l live in n furnished room in house
occupied 10y a private family. They
don't associate with their neighbors, so
no one but myself IS aware of the fact
that it costs me but three dollars per
week. In the morning feed on rolls
and milk, which | carry into my room
in an alligator skin satchel, and this
costs but ten cents, The satchel, you
know, might contain anything from my
bank stock to silk underwear, so far as
any one could tell. 1t was great in
vestment.
IL always go well dressed to the Of
flee and during the day make it point
TO be seen strolling through Delmon-
ico's downtown restaurant about lunch
time, although l never in my life
lunched there except when invited. In
the afternoon make it point at least
once a week to take cab in front of
the Office and drive part of the way up
town. This adds tone to my conduct,
and some of the other clerks who get
twice my salary think that | was born
witha silver spoon in my mouth. Then
in the evening | manage to loiter for
a while in front of some of the theaters
or be seen in the corridors of the swell
uptown hotels attired in evening dress.

A certain man was condemned TO the
thiefs collar whereupon some OF his
relatives seeing him, asked him how he
had brought such punishment upon
himself He replied
"As was going along the road
chanced 10 see on the ground a little
bit of rope, Thinking II might per
haps prove useful, / picked 1t up and
proceeded on my way Such is the ori-
gin Of my present trouble"
but, replied his relatives, "we can-
not believe that the theft OF a piece Of

THE ENGINEER

at the waterworks was seen
Monday morning by a JOURNAL
reporter, with a copy of the printed
slip from the Sunday Statesman.
He was asked about the statements
therein contained, as to pumping
water into the reservoir Saturday
afternoon. He said there was moth.
ing in it. They had been testing
the pumps with that end in view,
but no water had been pumped in.
The reservoir could not be used
until new suction pipe was laid to
the river. The engineer at the
pumping works furnished the cor
roborating statements to sustain
what people said who visited the
reservoir Sunday. That is all there
is to it. THE JOURNAL has no
apologies to make for ascertaining
these facts.
NO ONE IN SALEM
has attached the least blame to the
late Mr.. Wallace, when finding
fault with the water service. That
there has been great deal of fault
found the past season at Salem, no
one will pretend to deny.

THE WATER WORKS.
The Facts in Regard to Filling the
ReseFvOiF-The Salem
Water Liar.

In the article OH the water works
in the columns of MONDAYS
DAILY there was no reference to the
late Mr.. Wallace and no intention
to reflect upon him in any manner,
MS every one knows that the late
Mr.. Wallace gave most of his time
and attention when in the city to
the cannery. J. M. Martin stated
distinctly to a JOURNAL reporter
several times that Mr.. Wallace was
devoting his entire time to the
cannery during the canning season.
He, Mr.. Martin, was running the
water works.
THE WATER LIAR
referred to in these columns is we'll
known in Salem, He at Que time
burns up the city for want of water,
and then proceeds to pour millions of
gallons into a reservoir before inspec-
tion shows any to have been there
Scores of people were deluded into
going to Paramount hill Sunday
forenoon and afternoon, expecting to
see lake of millions of gallons of
water, and stream pouring in at
800 to 1900 gallons minute. These
peopls came back disappointed, dis
gusted, ana feeling that they had
again been deceived. THE JOURNAL
voiced their disgust, to put an end
to useless lying about the water ser
vice.
