PERPETUAL MOTION AT LAST.

piled the Missing Link.

piled the Missing Link.
Count Oto Won Holtzschuherr, of royal
descent and the leading druggist of OF
tuna, Ia, makes the startling announce
ment that he has discovered perpetual
motion. The story is an interesting one,
and great many Ottumwa people I'M
hesitatingly believe that the count has
really discovered the principle so dill
gently sought for by scientists of all
ages. 1t has been known for years that
an old wood sawyer of that city has
spent a life and several fortunes in
search of the science, and he has often
said that all he needed to put his ma
chine in motion and too keep it running
was "just one little thing" The other
night he exhibited his machine to Count
Won Holtzschuherr, and the count as
serts he Immediately saw what was
needed to start the wheels moving for
an eternity. The community is aroused,
and large crowds are continually clam
oring at the counts store for a look at
the wonderful continuance. No one has
yet been granted a glimpse at it, but the
count has promised view of the ma
chine soon.

1t Makes the Position of President One
of Many Trials,

Of Many Trials.
At the beginning of every admins,
tration Washington fills up with per.
sons who desire some office either in
the states, in the departments or in
the foreign service, writes ex-Presi-
dent Harrison in Ladies' Home Jour-
nal, discussing "The Presidential Of
fee" Many of these persons have a
limited purse, and as the days pass on
this is exhausted and Impotence and
ill-temper come in. Many of these per-
sons are deserving and well-fitted to
fill the offices they desire. But it is
impossible to find places for all the
deserving, and the position of the pres
ident is full of trial. The suspense and
uncertainty that the office seeker suf-
fers is illustrated by the case of man
from my own state who thought he had
good reason to expect an appointment
from President Garfield. After he had
been weeks at Washington, and had
brought to bear all the influence he
could command. I met him one day on
the street and asked him how he was
getting along. His answer was: Every
well, very well, but there is nothing
focal yet" 1t was wonderfully express
sive, and has remained in my memory
as type of the state Of uncertainty
which accompanies office-seeking.
Nothing focal yet" but a hope that is
hard to kill.
There are few Offices at Washington
the salaries of which enable the incum-
bent TO save any money, and the aver
age experience of those holding places
in the departments, I am sure, is, il
they would express it, that private
business offers better returns and gives
better chance for advancement.
