One who'd Copy was Moro Interesting
Than Her Item.


Prom the Baltimore American.
The writer is tempted 10 tell a story.at the
expense of lovely and gifted lady who began
a few years ago a career ss q society reporter.
Every week her copy went TO the editor beauti-
fully written and faultless. considered as copy
from the printers point of view. But any little
suggestion she wanted to make. abe ran il along
with the article in the following fashion: ''Mr
and Mrs. Brown-Smyth gave on Monday an ele-
CANT blue dinner of fourteen covers (For
goodness sake, spell her name Smy-last week
it went in Smi, and she was as mad as hops about
it, Mrs. Indigo Blueblood has sent out cards for
a ball, at which she will introduce into society

the least mind seeing her name in print It's

the column, whatever you do. 1 want to please
her anyhow, because last week she Just went in
as one of the many others.'r'
If it had not been for the discriminating edi-
torial blue pencil that fashion and society col
umn would have been very delicious reading
on Sunday morning-since a printer follows
copy. and parenthesis on the paragraphs brim
plain parenthesis is to him, and il 10 nothing
more.

Bride Imprlsonsd In m Elevator and Groom
Struggling with the Grssn-Eysd Monster.
Prom the Los Anseles Herald.
A bridal couple, wcll-known young people Of
this city, returned q day or two ago from their
honeymoon trip 10 San Francisco. where their
new-found happiness Was nearly wrecked. The
day after their arrival they started out to-
gether, the bride wishing to do some shopping.
They were not too happy, for IN old lover Of
the girl had, by . mere coincidence, gone up
on the same train and, by another coincidence,
had stopped at the same hotel. The bride, per-
haps feeling little sorry for him, had fool
ishly exerted herself to be pleasant, and the re-
suit was that the husband, who il naturally
very Jealous, allowed unworthy suspicious to
enter his mind.
Az they walked along Market street the ex-
rival passed them, and the husband was irri-
tated by the gracious salutation his wife gave.
However. he endeavored to cheer up, and when
they reached q large dry goods store, where his
wife Of two days intended to purchase some
stun to adorn herself with, he pulled out his
pocket book and handed it to her and told her
to go ahead and purchase whatever she wished.
.'rll finish my cigar and come right in and
see what you buy, he added, and she flushed
with pleasure at his goodness, gave his hand
squeeze - she took the purse and walked into
the store.

Written for The Evening Star.
Two January DAYS.

On this fair day, how warm, how bright, how gay
Smiles the great sun on his low love, the earthi
In yonder sky how softly fade away
Those snow-white cloudsl Mefhnks there gently
stirr'th
The sap in every bud, and bare, brown spray.
There comes feeling forth abroad to stray;
We crouch not, shivering, over stove or hearth;
Light as the brooklets run cur pulses play
On this fair day.
1t seems As II the ghost of nowery May
With January walks, TO waken mirth .
In his stern heart, and kindly smooth the gray
Locks of his two-fold forehead, and allay
His wrath ct all his Icy treasures dearth,
On this fair day.
The clouds! the wind walls mournfully;
Grim January frowns severe,
While shivers and shakes now every tree;
And Mays fair ghost seems nowhere near.
The sorrowing night shed many tear,
Through which the stars we could not zee;
A change hes como
How ike our lives the days.-how fear
Succeeds to mirth and revelryi
We laugh. we jest gay songs We hear.
The moments glide in light. but ere
We dream thst such . thing may be.
A change hes como.

STATES AND APPOINTMENTS.
How the Rule Regarding Apportionment
Has Been Observed.

Nh. ROOSEVELT GIVES SOME INTERESTING FIG
ENOUGH KLIGrBLEs LAST Wharf.-The PRESENT
POSITION OF THE STATES on THE LIST
Civil Service Commissioner Roosevelt in his
remarks made Thursday before the House civil
service committee in answer TO statements Of
Mr.. Porter, the superintendent Of the census,
gave some interesting figures as to the present
status Of the lists Of eligibles and the matter Of
apportionment Of appointments. He was speak
ing OF the alleged excessive number of eligiblcs
on the civil service lists. Taken as a whole"
he said, "the number is not excessive at all. To
have a competitive examination We must have
applicants to compete and the appointing OFF,
Ger has TO have before him at least tn rec names
from which TO choose, according to the decis-
ion of the Attorney General The applicants
with the highest averages usually make
the best clerks. We ought, in order to secure
the best results. 20 have about three times as
many eligibles on our lists there are appoint
ments TO be made; whereas, actually taking all
our lists together, we only have about two and
o half times as many. On many lists we never
have a surplusage of eligibles. On few, as
those for female clerks and copyists, there is q
surplusage simply because so many women will
enter our examination, although warned that
the chance of appointment ia small. But even
while there is a surplusage the evils supposed
to arise therefrom are wholly imaginary. Last
wear we had barely enough eligibles, even for
men clerks and copyists, as the following lists
show:

woman's Inhumanity to Man.

One day overheard lady of fashion, says
writer of the Chicago Herald, relating to
another Of her kind all about terrible insult
put upon her by clerk who left her fully Eve
minutes unattended while she was purchasing a
carpet And marked the exultation in her
voice as.she added: .But had the satisfaction
Of reporting him and receiving the assurance of
his discharge" Oh, how longed to material
ize as the spirit Of the north wind did in Mac
donalds beautiful story and shake that woman
until her artifciality and her heartlessness
were rent from her ike the down from a dam
delion; to carry her away on pinions Of
strength md let her behold tho miseries
Of that life she has never touched, its hid
and its unstayed tears, that she might blush
for her shallownsss and repent Of hsf vixenish
temper.
