Many years ago an Arkansas youth, on
leaving the home Of his sweetheart late az
night, received a severe kick as he stepped
out of the door. His beloved had not re-
sponded definitely to his proposal Of mar,
rage, but had assured him that she would
.boon let him know what she could do for
him. He, unfortunately for two tender
hearts, took the kick for an answer and de-
parted for a far and wild country. Here he
brooded over his wound and his broken
heart until his beard grew down to his
knees and his nose became Roman AZ fate
would have it, as fate always has 1t, he
turned up late one sad, sad evening when

who kicked him 30 years before. Oh no! It
was her angry father. He went out to the

shears and kicked himself down the hill

1t would be a great favor to me, and I

The senator was one Of the best Of
friends, and his proposition was ac-
cepted. Two weeks later I received
from Emporia one large envelope con-
tanning about so letters asking for i'm
formation of all sorts. From that
time on, for about five months, every
mornings mail brought big patches Of
letters; sometimes as many as a hun
bred. I sorted all those letters. May

office appointments, ten more about
pensions, ten more about patents, or
land office matters, and others re-
ferring to the other executive depart
ments. / would first go to the post
Office department and get informa-
ton concerning the post office; maxi
ing shorthand notes on each letter.
Then I would go to the pension Office,
and attend to all of the pension cases
before leaving that place. And so on,
every day the various departments
would be visited systematically, and
the work of every day was cleared up
before bedtime. 1t became necessary

ness of a professional private secre-
tary."
This is a new idea of a new-con-
gresham, but it is not a new idea to
the writer. The trouble is that every
congressman feels that ne must bring
some man here as his private secre-
tary, ONE man who has rendered and
can render political service at home.
All of the congressman entertain this
idea. and hence they bring men here
who know no more of the executive
departments than they do. and hence
their political private secretaries are
of little value to them in the line of
their actual work.
One of the best secretaries the writ
er has known in many years was
Frank F~lenniken, who was with Sem
ator Plumb, of Kansas, for many
years, and remained with him until
the death of that great congressional
worker. The amount of work which
Senator Plumb did, with Flenniken's
aid, vas regarded as phenomenal bv
his colleagues. The writer once had
an opportunity to ascertain some
thing of Plumb's enormous depart
mental business; and it might be in
teresting to narrate it here:
One day in May, 1890, Senator
Plumb asked me to take lunch with
him, in the senate restaurant, saving
that he wanted to have a business

[speelal Washlngton Letter.l

&C HERE is room for q new line
of business in this city,
says Congressman Brund-
Idge, of Arkansas. "Any good and eff
fcient man ought to make at least a
h4ndred dollars a week at it, and an
industrious man of capability might
make even double that amount.
when I first came here I received
letters from my constituents asking
me to see this, that and the other
member of the cabinet for them. For
example, a prominent political friend
of mine would want a commission in
the army for his son. I would go to
the office of the secretary of war, and
find other senator's and representa-
tives ahead of me. I would wait an
hour Or more for my turn, and finally
go away without having a chance to
talk to the secretary. Then / would
be obliged to go again and again. In
asmuch as 1 had to see other members
of the cabinet on other missions for
my people, 1 found it to be practically
impossible for me to get around and
attend to congressional business at
the capital.
FINALLY a young man came to me
for employment. He had letters
showing that he had been private sec
rotary to Senator Blackburn, of Ken
.tucky, for 70 years. 1 told him that
I had brought a private secretary
here with me from my district, and
that I could not employ him. But I
told him that 1 could occasionally give
him some letters to write for me. On
the very first occasion. while I was
debating letters to the young man, 1
stated to one of my constituents that
l had been five times to see the Sec
rotary of war about his matter, that
I had been disappointed every time;
but promised to continue to do my
best.
"The young man suggested that I
let him look the matter up for me,
telling me that I need not see the sec
rotary of war at all; but that a GER
tain obscure chief of division would
know all about it. I gave him that
letter and a number of others, and he
did in half a day what I had been
t~rying-tO do for more than a week.
Il learned that the members of the
cabinet, when called on for informa-
ton on various subjects, send for
their s~ubordinates and get the in
formation from them. 1 learned that
it is easier for a private secretary who
is familiar with the executive depart
ments to go directly to the obscure
men who actually handle the official
papers, and it saves so much time.
ANY good man of welI-established
reputation might get to be private
secretary to four or more congress-
men and attend to all of their depart
mental business, and receive from
each congressman the sum of 500 per
month, which every congressman is
allowed. for a private secretary, there.

ents a great deal Of good. There is
