MIR. THOEBE'S WOE.
An OfficesPeker who Once Ran

An Officespeker who Once Ran
Against Carlisle Disappointed.
Some Of theprominent Republicans who
are seeking office have had bitter eX-
pcrience with tie limitations imposed on
officrseeking by the civil service one
of thcSeis George II Thoebe, OF Kentucky
Ten years ago Mr. Thnebe ran for Congress
in the Covington district against John G.
Carlisle, then Speaker of the House Thoebe
was indorSed by the wOrkingmen of his
district and made Il strong race for eleC-
ton. being defeated by only few votes in
a district that had always been deemed
over whelmingly Democratic. He after
ward contested Carl ses seat, but the
House was adverse to his pretensiuns.
on the incoming of the Harrison admin
istration he was appointed immigration
inspector and filled that place until the
beginning of the second Cleveland admin
istration.
The Thoebe contest created considerable
bad feeling in Kentucky. Even the placid
and Just Carlisle was offended by some
things said and done during it. Within
five minutes after MIR. Carlisle was sworn
in as Secretary OF the Treasury he said
to the chief clerk rs there a man
named Thocbe who holds some place in
this department." Yes" replied the
clerk. We'll" said Mr.. Carlisle, Il
want him out, and right away, too.
will wait about other things, but not
about that
So Mr.. Thocbe suffered capitation
for his political views. Promptly after
the inauguration of Mckinley he returned
TO Washington as candidate for reap
pontment He was Informed that he
could not get his old place, because it
was under the civil service. Then he
applied for furniture examiner in the
Treasury. THAT, too, is under the civil
service" he was told. but there's no
reading or writing he said; ''alI it re-
quires is knowledge OF furniture" Mr..
Thoche is an experienced wood carver
and cabinet worker, ami has been the head
OF his trade organization. But he was
told that he could only get the place by
competitive examination. He was indig-
nant, but he believed what he was told
until he was told the place was prom
ised to q personal friend of Mr.. Hanna
from Cleveland. Then he was madder
But he is still out and likely to remain
out.

The play takes its name from its principal
incident. There is a broad chasm over
which it is necessary for one Of the prin-
cipal characters 10 pass. The bridging
OF it seems impossible. But the span is
made-made of living people-who clutch
each others legs and arms and make the
span for the passage. 1t is staI tlingly

NO WRAPPER ANYHOW
Society Maiden Gets Shock in Re
tail Dry Goods Store

One of the swell society girls of the
north side rather prides herself upon
being able to tie up a bundle as well as
a professional, and laughingly declares
that she is an exception to the rule that
a woman is helpless at that kind of work.
For this reason it annoys her to see any
one bungle in doing what is so easy to
her.
The other day, however her pride in
her proficiency had terrible fall. She
was in one of the large retail dry goods
houses, and while waiting for the re-
turn of her change noticed two girls
wrapping up parcels. They were doing
it in so poor manner that she felt
called upon to interfere. Turning to
them she said with a smile, which was
sweetness itself:
IT believe can do better work at that
than you"
One of the girls, pert-faced little
thing, looked up at the elegantly dressed
lady before her and replied:
perhaps you can. I amt no wrapper
nohow. I'm just taking another lady's
place for an hcur."-Chicago Chronicle.
