ExERrED TOO MUCH INFLUENCE.
The Mistake Made by u Department
Clerk


Every cabinet officer in town and every
head Of bureau having power to make
changes in the force under him has been
celuged with letters asking that this one
and that one be not disturbed in their
places, and much of the time of these off,
cials has been taken up in listening to per-
sonal requests of senator's and representa-
tves in the interest of some Of the people
who fear dismissal
AS rule such letters and requests
strengthen the employe in his or her place,
but case lately occurred in one of the
departments of the government in which
the clerk. enjoying a comfortable position,
in which she was perfectly secure, lost her
place merely because of the large amount
OF influence she was bringing to bear, and
was reduced TO a minor position, with a
salary of but half that she had been re-
ceiving. Letters from senators and repre-
sentatives were pouring in on the official
who was her superior officer, but finally
certain senator's called upCn him and COM
planned that the lady in question was max
ing their lives burden by constant re-
guest that they intcrcede her behalf,
and asked that a stop be put TO that sort
that the lacy was promptly removed from
her place, although 1t is said she would
not have been disturbed had she quietly
done her work. The moral of this sad eX
perience is being advertised quietly among
clerks in the following motto:
Don't worry your chief with ali over
dose of influence but quietly saw wood"
The lady who was subjected to this un-
pleasant experience is now making strenu-
Gus efforts to regain her old place, but, al
though she has strong influence, she is
apparently making no Roadway.
