O'clock in the afternoon and midnight
is called. She is in full charge Of
the Office during that time. Her du
ties as dispatcher on single track
differ materially from those Of a
double track dispatcher, as meeting
points must be made for all trains
going in opposite directions. She is
a Kentuckian by birth. Her father,
who was lawyer, died IA years ago,
leaving a wife and three daughters,
of whom Miss Byrd is the oldest.
She is just past %, and her progress
in the line of work she has chosen
has been rapid. Her first situation
was that of operator for the Union
Pacific at Deer Trail, Col. From
that place she went to Topeka and
was employed by the same railroad
there for four years, until October,
1894, when she was promoted to
Junction City as train dispatcher.
Few women have the clear head
and steady nerve required to fill
such position. Miss Watkins is a
nice looking girl, with a tall, slender
figure, has blue eyes and light brown
hair Her manner is pleasant and
refined.
''When first went into the Office, :"
she said, "the superintendent re-
marked that I would be accomplish
ing a great deal if I learned to be a
train dispatcher without swearing.
/ must confess that l have more
sympathy with men on that score,
but when I feel obliged to find in
outlet for my feelings I get up and
walk round and round the table. l
have had no accidents since I began
not even a narrow escape"
Miss Watkins is said to be the
youngest dispatcher on the road.
An official Of the road is quoted as
saying: II would not give her up for
any man dispatcher on our system. !"

An Angel Without Wings.

One of the principal decorative
features of the new city hall in San
Francisco was to have been q great
'white-metal angel, with outspread
wings poised on top of the big dome.
This angel has been the subject of
much grabbed controversy between
the gruff mayor, Mr.. Sutro, and the
commissioners. The mayor criticised
the angel severely and rather ridi-
culed the whole thing. But the big
angel was at last finished and ready
for hosting to its place on the dome.
Then it was discovered that its
wings offered too much sail space,
and that they would undoubtedly in
the first high wind pull the angel
down from its perch. The shoulder
blades were too narrow for the
wings to be properly braced. So
the wings were sawed off and a
wingless angel will surmount the
dome.

WEST POINT POSTMISTRESS
All Official Whose Political Existence Is
Not at the Mercy Of Office Seekers.

All Official Whose Political Existence Is
Not at the Mercy Of Office Seekers.
There is one officeholder in this
country whose political existence is
not at the mercy of spoils grabbers,
and whose tenure of office depends
not upon the exigencies of politics.
She is Blanche Berard. the venerable
postrnistress at West Point, the
hcme OF the military academy.
Administrations come and go; one
party succeeds another in control of
the government, postmasters and
postmistresses appear and disappear,
but Blanche Berard remains in un-
disturbed possession of her Office.
For more than a quarter of a century
she has handled al the mail that ar
rives at and departs from West
Point. During ali those years she has
hardly missed day from her post.
No woman in this country has so
wide q personal acquaintance IS Miss
Berc~d. She is known from Maine
to California, from the lakes to the
Gull of Mexico. She has a warm
place ip the affections OF every man
who claims West Point as his alma
mater. Gen. Grant never visited
West Point without paying his re-
spects to The postmistress; the rug

ged Sherman was a bosom friend,
and Little Phil' Sheridan, on his
occasional visits to the academy,
took delight in recalling cadet day
"reminiscences with this interesting
character. Miss Berard has always
been regarded in a motherly way by
the cadets. She is keenly sympa-
thetic; she enters into all their lit
tie troubles, consoles them, en-
courages them with her advice, and
it is no exaggeration to say that
many an officer to-day wears his
uniform because he needed the ad-
vice and suggestion of Miss Berard.
Blanche 'Berard is over 20 years
old. Notwithstanding her age, she
is unusually active physically, and
mentally she is as fresh and as vig-
orous as when in her prime. Miss
Berard comes from distinguished
French family. Many years ago her
father was professor of French at the
military academy. When he died
his wife, through the influence of the
officers, was appointed postmistress
at West Point. When she died Miss
Blanche succeeded her, and has since
been there.
Only once in her long career has
any politician sought to get her COM
Portable little berth. 1t was during
the closing months of President
Cleveland's first administration.
Miss Berard's commission had ex-
pired, and she never doubted it would
be renewed. One day the press dis
patches from Washington announced
that the president had nominated a
successor to Miss Berard. When
the surprise subsided the president
was flooded with protests. They
came from everywhere, and from the
country's most distinguished men
and women. ]. Pierpont Morgan,
who is a personal friend of Miss
Berard, it is said, went to Washing
ton and saw the president in behalf
of Miss Berard. The result was the
withdrawal of the new appointment
by the president.
! When a young woman she was en-
gagged to be married to dashing
young army officer. One day, pre-
paratory to taking horseback ride,
he called to see her, and in turning
in his saddle to toss farewell he
lost his balance and fell. The horse
took fright and darted wildly away,
dragging his unhorsed rider along
with him. He died from his injuries.
Miss Berard, during all these years,
has remained true to her first and
only love. Chicago Tribune.
