TO SAVE THE ARMY.

I think there is nothing finer in all
history than Keenan's last charge.
1t was amid the gloomy pines of
charlottesville. Stonewall Jackson
had surprised the eleventh Corps and
was driving it in utter rout.
Not Federal musket was in sight
save such as were being borne to the
rear as fast as frightened legs could
carry them. Six hundred men re-
NAMED to meet the victorious rush
of twenty thousand. Suddenly out
in front of the guns rode General
Pleasanton and paused where Major
Keenan, sat with his three hundred
cavalry.
"Major," he said, "you must charge
into the woods with your men and
hold the enemy in check until I can
get these guns aligned and shotted.
You must do it at all cost''
The reply came, quick and hard:
cit is just the same, General, as say
ing, "You must be killed." but, GEN
eral, I will do it!''
Oh, what a scene that was I wish
we had some American Tennyson to
immortalize that charge. Three
hundred horsemen with deep-set
spurs and flashing sabers flying at the
Threats of twenty thousand! Nobody
had blundered; somebody must die
for the army, that was all! Then ev-
cry man died in his stirrups.
But they died not in vain. The few
minutes gained for the gunners saved
the day, for the batteries had mean
while been double shotted and not
even Jackson's veterans could stand
such raking fire. They quailed.
Jackson fell by shot from his own
lines. Sickle's old Third Corps filed
in behind the guns and victory was
won. What an obedience that was
when he had no more chance for life
than thistledown in the teeth of the
tempest!" What an exhibition of
devotion for men and angels three
hundred men obeying when obedience
meant certain death!

There are clerks who absent them
selves from their desks and send word
that they are sick, when that report is
false. There are congressman whose
lives are as crooked as dogs hind leg.
But it is not fair to assume that all
of class are alike dishonorable.
AS general rule when clerks report
themselves indisposed they are telling
the truth.
1t is customary for the executive de-
partments to permit clerks to have 80
days of sick leave every year, without
deducting their pay for absence This
is merely humane. But the integrity
Of clerks is manifested when Mr..
Hemenway publicly reports that so
few clerks report themselves sick that
in all OF the executive departments the
average sick leave is "only fraction
over three days" That shows that
thousands of clerks never take any
sick leave at all, while other thousands
take only such leave as they are enti-
tied to. on account of impaired health.
The writer knows of five individual
cases in which good clerks after hav-
ing been absent sick for 80 days, were
required to resign their positions on
account of continued sickness. This
was a great hardship, to lose an in
come when illness required the ex-
pense of medical attendance and med
ical skill. In each case the depart
ments held their positions for them,
and four of the good clerks recovered
and were restored within year. If
sick clerk is absent more than year,
the civil rules will not permit restora-
tion to office. One of the clerks re-
ferred to above died within a year
after losing his place.
There are thousands of ladies in Of
fee, some of them in delicate health
They have children or parents or other
dear ones dependent upon them. They
are conscientious and faithful. Many
Of them go to their desks to work when
they have swimming headaches. or
other ailments, and they do not shirk.
Not many days ago a young lady
tainted at her desk in the office of the
auditor of the post office department.
She is a fragile creature, but bravely
performs her duty for the benefit of
others.
While worthy of commentator,
that young lady is only one of class
of worthy women, all of whom deserve
praise. 1t is unfair that any censure or
shadow of censure should be aimed at
them. They are worthy public serv-
ants all. And the majority of the men
are like unto them for fidelity.

declare you startled me. Is there
anything the matter?"
"I-er-I hardly know" said the
curate, lamely. "a queer kind OF
feeling came over me. IL wish you

ear. ''You are tired. Don't let ia

When he brought Jacynth back at
I her usual bedtime, they had not re-

the curate down on his knees beside
her. +.

Queen Alexandra has chosen the
duchess of Marlborough, it is said, us
a special compliment to Americans to
be one of her attendants at the corona
ton. The duchess was formerly Con-
suelo Vanderbilt, of New York. The
other attendants, it is reported, are
to be the duchesses of Sutherland, of
Portland and of Montrose. This Sc
lection is purely arbitrary and the
senior duchesses are atfronted be-
cause their claims have been over
looked
The peeresses are more than ever
distressed about their coronation
robes. They simply loathe themselves
in them. The robes are thick about
the waist, heavy and unbecoming, and
the smart ones complain that there
is nothing to distinguish them from
the dowdies.
The peeresses are all dying to know
what kind Of crown the queen is plan
ming to wear, but the queen refuses
to tell. She even keeps secret the
place where her diadem is being made.
They only know it will contain the
Kohinoor and that she has refused to
wear the trying kind of robes she pre-
scribed for them When one of their
number deplored to the queen that
the peeresses would look Indifferent
ly, the queen is said to have replied:

smart, but the mass of crimson vel

the executive departments here in
the city of Washington. Now, has
the gentleman's committee consid-
cred the question of reducing the
sick leave, or cutting it away alto
gether, as a privilege granted to the
executive employees in Washington?
rather hoped he would do that so
there would be some means of equal
ization of the privileges of vacation
of all employees throughout the
United States.
Mr.. Hemenway-I want to call the
gentleman's attention to this fact,
that there is no law giving to the
clerks of the departments in Wash
ington 80 days sick leave. The heads
of departments may give them that
leave if they so desire, but there is
no law requiring it. On the other
hand, the law requires that limited
leave be granted for department
clerks outside of Washington. In
1890 Is days were given to the clerks
and employees in first and second
class post offices, and to the employees
of the bureau Of engraving and print
ing, which was extended in 1896 to
compositors and pressmen in the au-
| diting division of that bureau.
Mr.. Robinson - If the gentleman
will pardon me, this is not sick leave
but vacation. In the first place, the
printing department in Washington
has no sick leave; they get an an
nunl vacation of 80 days, but they
| do not receive a sick leave.
Mr.. lIemenway--I call the gentle
mans attention to the error he
makes-that there is 30-days' sick
leave granted to other employees. The
table on page II of the report
shows that they do not get 80, days
sick leave; that the average sick
leave, over and above the 80 days an
nual leave. is only three days and q

him; no, not bit. And we are GO

Martha doesn't know what she is

soothingly. That very morning he
would have been inclined to agree
with Martha's prophecy, for the
thought had come to him, not for the
first time, that he would try and
leave the place as soon as he could.
But not now-not yet awhile, at

He gave the promise and kissed her

gate and returned the last wave Of
her little hand.
One afternoon as the curate
trudged up the lane, after u long and

call for Jacynth and take her back

fraction. Now, observe the state
ment: You take all of the depart
ments at Washington, and the av'
erage sick leave is only Il fraction
over three days.
This debate was proonged; but
sufficient is here quoted to show the
facts, and the animus of Mr. Robin
son. Later in the day he announced
that he had prepared and would in
troduce a bill cutting off the sick
leaves of employees of the govern
ment. His attack upon the clerks
has caused a great deal of consterna-
ton among the civil service employees
of the government. Not less than
$4,000 people depend upon govern
ment employment for bread and but
ter.
The readers of this column of cor
respondence have been informed from
time to time of the facts showing that
government clerks receive larger sal
aries for less hours of work than any
other class OF people in our country.
They who succeed in securing employ
ment in the civil service are exceeding
ly fortunate. But, while it is true that
they are fortunate in their environ
ments, and while it is further true
that majority of them do not realize
that they are to be envied, it does not
not follow that they are dishonest nor
dishonorable. There is no reason why
Mr.. Robinson, of Indiana, or any other
man in congress should attack their
integrity and assume that they are a
class of malingerers.
