A GOVERNMENT JOB.
1t Very Often saps the Energy of

1t Very Often Saps the Energy of It's
Holder.
The narcotic effect Of government
employment is notorious. explains an
Eastern newspaper writer, but, as in
other cases, the victim of the sedative
habit does not believe and cannot real
ize its power until it is too late.
There Is certain fascination to the
old and hardened to watch the young
struggle against their fate. The same
sensations may be secured by observ-
ing the operations on n sheet Of fly
paper. The victim Is foot loose" and
is looking around for favorable open
ing. In the meantime it seems desir-
able to have some temporary Judgment
-standing-room, as 1t were-until the
delayed opening appears. So the fly
steps into the soft Government stick
um. At first 1t does not seem so bad,
and it Is only when he feels his feet
sinking that he decides to quit. But
this he finds it not so easy. He pauses
and begins to cast about for a little
leverage or way to wade out. In the
operation he tangles up another MEM
Der or two. By this time he suspects
that the danger Is serious and buzzes
frantically. The result is the same,
and while he Is resting from the exer-
ton he tangles up one wing. The other
waves for while, the emblem of a
disappointed and hopeless ambition,
now and then buzzing about the time
to come when he will quit the Gov
eminent fly paper and enter business
or profession. Then he rents larger
house and his wife takes few friends
to board. His body Is submerged in
the Government glue and he is in the
Government service for life.
AS Secretary Of the Civil Service
Commission Mr.. Doyle has had oppor-
tunity to observe the number of Gov.
eminent employees who leave the SER
vice for other occupations and then re-
turn to it. "A few years ago." said
Mr.. Doyle, my attention was called to
a man by the excellence of the exami-
nation which he passed. He secured
the place, but after a year or so he re-
signed. He had saved money and was
going to Yale College. After four years
i heard he had graduated and was
studying law. Then l heard he had
been admitted and had gone to New
York to practice. And just the other

Gold in the Philippines.

1t Is said that there is not stream
rising in the mountains Of Luzon-and
the same Is true Of other islands Of the
Philippine group-which has not its
gold-bearing sands. The alluvial de-
posits Of the precious metal have been
garnered for many years, but no thor
ough exploration for gold at its sources
in the mountains has ever been made,
because the Spaniards were unable to
conquer the tribes inhabiting the inte-
rior regions. Some of these tribes are
said to look upon the digging up of the
earth as sacrilege, and they will not
seek gold In that way, nor permit others
to do 1t, lest the wrath of the gods
should grow hot against them.

the prompt action of boy and the po-
lice. Just before closing time three men
entered the jewelry store OF A. II. Siedle
While two of the men engaged the clerk
and porter in conversation the third open
ed a showcase and transferred thirty dia-
monds, valued at about $4,000, from the
case to a pocket apron he had suspended
about his waist. The errand boy en-
ployed at the store gave the alarm and
followed the man in his fight. The rob-
Der jumped on a trolley car, but the con-
ductor put him off. Detective McGovern
arrested him after fierce struggle, in
which the prisoner tried to shoot his cap
tor. All OF the diamonds except one were
recovered. The man gave his name az
Jack Robinson of Cincinnati, but the po-
lice think he is from New York.

CAREER OF GARRETT A. HOBART
From Country School Teacher to
Vice President.

From a Country School Teacher te
Vice President.
Garrett Augustus Hobart was born at
Long Branch, n. j., June 3, 1914. He
received his education ut Rutgers Col
lege and graduated when he was 20
years old He began his career as a
schoolmaster. Later on he took up the
study of law and was admitted to the bar
in 1869. In 1871 he became city counsel
of Paterson. and in 1872 counsel OF the
freeholders of Passaic County He rep
resented the Third district of Passaic
County in the State Assembly in 1872.
Mr.. Hobart soon became one of the
leading Republicans of his section. He
was married July 81, 1869 to Jennie Tut
tie, daughter of ex-Mayor Socrates Tut
tie of Paterson. He was reelected to
the Assembly in 1873, and at once took
the highest rank and was chosen Speak
err of that body. In 1876 Mr.. Hobart
was elected to the State Senate, and in
1881 was elected president of the Sen
ate, and was reelected the following
year.
During his terms in the Senate he be-
came member of some of the most i'm
portant committees. From 1880 to 1891
he was chairman Of the State Republican
committee of New Jersey, and under his
leadership the party conducted some
brilliant campaigns. He waA nominated
in 1884 for United States Senator but
the Legislature being Democratic, he
was defeated by John X. MACPHERSON.
He was delegate at large to the Repub-
lican national convention in 1876 and
again in 1880. He became a member of
the national Republican committee in
1884, and served until 1896, when he was
nominated for VicePresident and elected.
Since his election to the vice-presidency
Mr.. Hobart Had played an important
phrt in political affairs. Between the
President and Mr.. Hobart there have ex-
listed the most cordial relations, and the
visits between the two have been of the
most informal and neighborly character.
Mr.. Hobart was first-class business
man and was connected with numerous
big concerns. Mr.. Hobart was a very
fascinating man, with a pleasant face.
He always had his pocketbook open in
behalf of charity. When he located in
Paterson his entire capital amounted to
only $1.5O. He worked hard and his eff
forts were rewarded by remarkab BILE
success.
Garrett A. Hobart was well beloved in
Paterson. He is said to have been a
good neighbor and an honest business
man. During his illness the city seemed
to neglect regular duties to hear the news
from the bedside. and on all sides were
heard prayers for the sick man. Mr..
Hobart in health was a genial, courteous
gentleman and was most approachable.
After his election to the vice-presidency
he remained the same to his old friends
and associates.
Mrs. Hobart has been invaluable to
Mrs. Mckinley, relieving her of many of
her trying social duties. Mr.. Hobart
has been equally valuable to Mckinley.
he was man of great tact, and his dip
lomacy has been made use of by the
President in several trying situations

Wool Sales Pass All Records.
r. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review Of
trade says: Monetary anxieties have
faded with sales Of bonds to the treasury
under the recent offer, the fall in sterling
exchange in spite of dearcr money

of about $750,000 net from the interior

the commercial money market, as there
has been none, and loans on securities
have ruled at easier rates. The iron in
dustry shows no yielding in material, but
q little advance in Bessemer pig at Pitts
burg, with large inquiries for next year.
Sales of wool pass all records, having
been at the three chief markets 1884
POS pounds in three weeks Of November;
whereas October sales in five weeks were
but 1914 $3.50 pounds, and in only one
other full month have sales ever reached
60,0O0,0OO pounds. The trading is large

ton Of consumption. Failures for the
week have been 191 in TIE United States,

There was certain farmer who In
the days Of Clevelandlsm voted for tar
iff reform. His fancy had been caught
by the glowing pictures of marvellous
prosperity which the free traders and
the tariff reformers had painted to de-
scribe the glorious days when under
free trade we would have possession
Of the markets Of the world. Some lit
tie time after the triumph of the advo-
Gates of tariff reform in 1892, when the
country, instead of enjoying the over
flowing prosperity predicted, was suf-
fering from the hard times brought on
by the downfall of the protective sys-
TEN, this same farmer took a wagon
load Of garden truck to the nearest
town for sale. The once thrifty town.
which had formerly been such good
market, was a scene of idleness. The
mills in the town were shut down, and
many Of the houses were vacant and no.
body wanted the farmers products. He
was obliged to drive home again, TAX
ing his garden truck with him. AS he
logged along in disgust, one Of the
townsmen shouted out to him: What
did you bring your stuff here for? Why
didn't you haul your load to the nearest
port, hire boat and ship it across the
ocean? You know you have been howl
ing for foreign market"
What the farmer said in reply is not
on record, but 1t is not unlikely that the
lesson struck home, and that he came
to realize that it was money in his
pocket and In that Of every other far
mer to have a market for farm prod
ucts almost at their own doors, and that
the prosperity of the wage Garner in the
towns means the sale of the farmers
products and the prosperity of the far
mer himself.
