HIS SALARY 81 A YEAR.
Perhaps the Lowest Paid EmpIoye of
the Federal Government.
Boston Herald.

Boston Herald.
Among the long list of government en-
ployes the distinction of being the smallest
salaried of any falls to Charles Henry
Gibbs, keeper of the bug light" at Nan
tucket. who annually about the 10Th of
July receives a check for 81, his years
salary, and he promptly goes to the bank
and cashes Ii with as much concern as If it
were for a million dollars instead of 100
cents.
What is known as the bug lighthouse"
is situated hill near Monomoy, on the
south side of Nantucket harbor, and at the
time when the island was at the height of
its fame as a whaling port was consid-
cred an invaluable guide to vessels enter
ing the harbor at night. 1t ranged with
the light on Brant point in such manner
as TO indicate the channel entrance, but
for over twenty years it has not been used
at all, the shifting sands of Nantucket
il several hundred feet out OF range. The
name bug" was applied TO the light by the
old mariners as nickname, evidently from
its resemblance to a flrefiy when seen at
distance.
However. the government still retains the
lighthouse and is willing to pay man 81 a
year to live there. The keeper has no work
TO do but is allowed TO keep hens and breed
cats for livelihood. Mr.. Gibbs is one of
Nantuckets eccentric characters and lives
alone, coming 10 town only when his stock
of provisions is getting low.
He is a native of the island, and in early
life learned the coopers trade, afterward
going whaling for over twenty years and
made several voyages round the Horn -
visiting nearly every on the globe. Since
giving up the sea he has made living at
whatever kind of a job he could secure and
about eight years ago he accepted his pres
ent place as keeper of the lighthouse
Despite his three score and ten years he

Syrian girl, in a supreme effort to escape

dream picture called 1.-The reveries of a
bachelor" The scene represented bachel-

musing In an armchair before the fire.
After a moment or two music began to
play very softly and by one the
reveries, always taking the form of pretty
girls, drifted into the room. Each ghost
disappeared after a moment or two to make
room for another. The music was some
times appropriate to the picture. Annie

appeared before his chair. 1.-The Girl Left

first act Castro is identified as Wildfire,
