the president and ask for an appoint
ment. Mr.. Moses accompanied his con-
stituent to the executive mansion and
paused in the lobby to talk with some
friends. Presently he stepped into the
elevator to go up to the library, but
missed his constituent and assembled
without him. The Georgian, who had
improved the opportunity to take peep
into the east room, caught glimpse of
Moses as he entered the elevator, but did
not succeed in overtaking him.
When the lift returned, the Georgian,
not being familiar with the White House
or with elevators, stepped aboard and
told the boy to take him down. In a
couple of minutes the Georgian was wan

slow as Office seekers. One that know
is candidate for consul at Tamatav,
Madagascar, and his argument in his
own behalf is certainly worthy of atten-
ton. The climate of Madagascar, he
claims, is SO unhealthful that every
other white man who goes there as con-
sui falls i'll OF fever and dies during his
first year of service, and it costs the gov
eminent more to bring the bodies Of
dead consuls home than the salary of the
office amounts to. CHOW, I can stand

Happening to call at the Elsmer hotel
early one recent morning, ! was sur
prised to find six or eight men sitting on
the stairs. Some of them were rather
sleepy, as if they had gotten up early in
the morning and camped there. Inquiry
developed the rather interesting fact that
they were Illinois Office seekers waiting
to see Senator Palmer and determined
he shouldn't get out Of the house without
first listening to their demands. The ruse
was successful, for at that moment the
old senator's good hustler after ap-
pointments if he is N years old-ap-
peared at the head of the stairs, and
every mothers son Of an Office seeker got
chance at him before he went to break
fast. WALTER WELLMAN.

took turns talking, and the burden of
their song was a denunciation of Presi-
dent Cleveland for his failure to recog-
nize their claims. They scarcely knew
how to express their Indignation.
Just as they had reached fever heat
and were indulging in some very lurid
language concerning the master of the
White House the secretary of war made
his appearance. Being acquainted with
two Of the men, he stopped to talk with
them moment, and I was surprised to
hear the very men who had been de-
nouncing Cleveland start in to praise
him. They exhausted their stock Of adj
jectives and superlatives in describing
the greatness and the goodness of the
president. You see, Colonel Lamont is
President Cleveland's right hand man in
the distribution of the Offices. His adj
vice is often sought, and he has closer
relations with the president probably
than any other man. Therefore the dis
gruntled ones dare not air their griev-
ances before Lamont, and from protesta-
ton turned in way that was comically
abrupt into panegyrics.
This is characteristic of the Office seek
ers They growl and curse, but take
good care not to destroy the remnant OF
!. hope that remains within them by per-
hitting their expletives to be heard by
those in authority. 1t is funny to see a
squad of them in the Office of one of the
members of the cabinet-all smiles and
compliments and unctuous admiration
for the new administration to hear
them talk an hour later on their return
to their hotel.
The office seeking episode has now
reached the stage known as Kicking at
the tavern" Impromptu symposiums
are formed at the hotels, and views, ex-
periences. disappointments, indignation
and profanity freely exchanged. These
Office seekers who sit about the hotel lob
bies YEARLY waiting, hoping against
hope and kicking" while they wait,
form a little world of their own. Moth
ing appears to interest them save the
latest gossip about appointments They
think and talk of nothing else. They
must even dream of the commissions
which have never been made out.
Nor is it all ludicrous. Many of these
Door fellows become half crazed over
their quest for official honors. It is a
wonder more cranks are not developed
among them. Last night, for example,
an office seeker whom I have known for
several years called me to him in a cor
ner of the Arlington hotel. He had been
writing a letter to his wife in the west
and insisted upon reading it to me. 1t
was a tale of disappointment after dis
appointment, but of logged determine
ton to hang on till the last place is filed.
As he read the letter my friends cheeks

came to Washington for offices and
found them not. Within 60 days we
shall realize again the truth Of the old
tradition that many man who comes to
the capital asking the president to give
him foreign mission winds up with
request for an old pair of boots to walk
home in.
Speaking of foreign missions, there is
an unaccountable craze for going abroad.
The crop of hunters for consulships il
the biggest crop of all in the office seek.
ing field. can understand why even
successful men might want to go abroad
RS a minister of their government. 1t is
an honor and leads to pleasant sojourn
In a foreign capital. 1t is also easy to
understand why man should be will
ing to take one of the best consulships-
one of the places which afford an income
of from $4,000 to $4,000 or $4,000 a
year.
These places, however, are very few,
and the great majority of men seeking
consulships must be content with posts
which pay from 81 900 to $4,000 year,
and which require them to bury them
selves in sleepy little towns which no en-
ergetic American would ever think of
choosing as a desirable place of resi-
dence. Yet there are many thousands OF
men in the country bringing all tbs
pressure they can to secure just such
places.
Go over to the state department any
of these days, and you will see groupof
men gathered about the big globe in the
corridor either picking out consulships
or looking up the geographical position
of the places for which they have already
put in application. Every day 80 or more
men call at the consular bureau of the
state department and ask for copies OF
the register which contains a list Of all
the consulships, with salary and fees.
Not one in a score of these men will get
an appointment, but they appear to take
great delight in turning the big globe
around and in porting over aliases with
the register in their hands.
Nearly every man who asks for con-
sulship has some excuse for his demand.
One wants to go abroad for his health.
Another's daughter has fine voice, which
must be cultivated in European schools.
A third is studying Scandinavian itera-
ture with view to making some trans
lations for which the world is yearning.
There is tradition, you know, that
consulships may be rightfully used as
sort of convenient method of pensioning
off literary fellers, but President Cleve-
land doesn't uphold the tradition, and if
I were seeking a consulship I'd throw
literature to the dogs and pretend to be
simple business man whose sole ambi-
ton was to make good consul and de-
velop American trade as much as pos
sible

IN EARLY SPRING.
BY EDITH M. THOMAS.

Bright days are with us, heightened and Sc
rene.
The clods grow mellow, and the forest hath
Its budding pleasures; yet of winters scath
Some drear memorials here and there are
seen.
For, though the wind no more breaths frosty
keen,
1t often floats the old leaves in our path
Or signs along some unreaped aftermath,
To mind us of the rigor that hath BEEN
Q thou my joy, spring of my wondrous year!
Forgive, If in thy presence aught of grief
Remain from that dead time ere thou vast

For thou wilt set my feet where flower and

And soft new swad blot out the siubble sere.
