list were appointed. These positions carry
a salary of from $500 to 81 200 a year; the
stenographers of bureau chiefs receive
$1,600 and those of the heads of depart
ments, 81 800. The commissioner of pen
sions employs woman stenographer and
many of the lower officials refuse to have
mole stenographers in their offices.
In those classes which are open to the
competition of both men and women,
the records show much greater ability on
the side of the latter. Last year there
were 1898 male applicants, and 2,175 female
for these examinations. The successful
competitors numbered 1855 male and 1,614
female, and yet three times as many men
as women were appointed. This prefer
ence for the male clerk in the departments
will endure as long as the sterner NNtx
sits in the high places. A thousand fea-
sons are urged why men should have the
preference. The very poorest is that a
woman in an office interferes with the
freedom Of it's male contingent. AS free
dom is frequently construed to mean an
absence of coats in warm weather, and an
atmosphere of plutonian density in cold
weather, then by all means let us have
the interference" The best reason Of
salary is big enough for two, and there
fore should go to a head of a family or
a prospective head. All very well and
good as far as the present head of a
family goes-but as for the prospective
head he is apt to think a very long time
oe1ore he really confesses that 500
month divided by two, or more, is quite
as pleasant as the undivided whole.

Outside the woods a sentry halted

tenant looked around for the man to

were at a premium. He had paid $40 in
Confederate woney for his. Seeing that
the borrower had fallen asleep he came
over to him.

him. your fire is creeping up on you"

Good Looks Cut No Figure.
It is a mistaken idea also that good
looks influence promotion A case in
mind Is that of a young woman in one
OF the departments, wholly unprepos-
sessing in appearance, who entered the
government service as copyist; was adj
vanced to stenographers position, and
while holding that studied that branch
Of law applicable to the work of the de-
partment in which she was employed
Called upon by accident to examine a
complicated case. she rendered so COM
prehensive and able legal opinion that
she was promoted to the position of law
clerk, which she now holds. All this was
without political influence, or the sup
posed influence Of good looks.
Outside Of the salaries paid skilled Ia
borers, printers assistants and press
feeders, which rarely if ever exceed SO
month, remuneration for women in the
departments runs from $500 to 81, 400 a
year, that is, for the average clerk. 1t
has been urged that the women drawing
these comparatively good salaries are
being spoiled for wives. Perhaps they
are. No one can blame a girl for being
reluctant to give up a comfortable in
come and the freedom to live as she
pleases for the cares and worries of mar
ried life. When department girls do
marry, they usually make success of it.
They do not have to look out for home,

their age is no cause for complaint Some

Special to The Globe.
WASHINGTON. April y. About one
third of all employees IN the government
departments at Washington are women.
Several receive over $500 per annum. and
about so receive $1,000 per annum, 100 re-
ceive 81 400 per annum, $50 receive 81, 2o0,
300 receive $1,000. and the remainder re-
ceive from $500 to 5000 per annum.
The government employe at Washing
ton Is always regarded by the outsider
with more or less envy. Every woman
who cannot play the part of one Of
Solomon's lilies Of the field" but must
toll or ''spin,'' looks with jealous long
ing at what are supposed to be the
snaps" at Washington. The snaps" are
just waiting to be picked up-by the
right people; and with that cold FLOODED
institution, the United States civil service
commission, in prime working order, the
right people are very easily selected.
Just open 1.-The Manual Of Examinations
for the Civil Service Of the United
States, Revised to Jan. l. 1902" and
glance over the table showing the num-
Der of applicants examined, the num-
Der that passed and the number ap-
pointed to office during the past three
years. The male and female are nicely
classified, and just at first there ap-
pears to be an appalling array of
blanks on the female side. This goes
to prove that woman is not invading
mans work as rapidly as some have
feared. Still she is doing very well,
and it is somewhat surprising to find
her represented opposite such occupa-
tions as that Of immigrant inspector,
weather observer, and deputy United
States marshals. However, there are
plenty of positions in the government
service that she never will try for, be-
cause nature never intended she should
do that particular work.
The civil service commission records for
last year show that 1888 women were ex-
amined for the various positions open to
them under the civil service. OF these
2,476 passed, and 444 were appointed; 1851
of the applicants examined came under
the head Of skilled labor This is the
easiest examination given and the lowest
salaries are paid to those appointed under
it the remuneration ranging from % cents
an hour amounting to from $40 to $40
month, to $50 month. The higher sal
aries generally go to the men employed
from this class; the lower salaries are
paid to the charwomen.
Popular Examination
The most popular examination for
women is that for stenographers and
typewriters. Good stenographers," is
the ceaseless demand of the department
oficial-not mediocre-but good par ex-
cellence. On stenographic examination
days the big, dreary examination room
at the commission is crowded with the
trembling applicants. Nowadays, the
stenographer is of necessity a typewriter,
and the preliminary tinkle and click re-
verbrates from every known make Of
writing machine. The men predominant.
Last year they numbered 563, while the
women had little more than half that
representation, or 307-yet the average
passing was larger on the female side.
But when it came to the question of ap-
pointment SO out of the ia men who
passed received good positions; while only
