An Enemy to Rodents.

The use Of mouse traps at the city hall
has practically been abolished since the re-
cent discovery that one Of the assistant
clerks of the Supreme Court Of the District
of Columbia is, to all intents and purposes,
a human ferret. This talented young man
is an adept in retarding the earthly career
of meandering rodents, and his process Of
determination is a novel one. Although
his home is in the suburbs, he. wends his
way to the court house each weekday
morning long before the hour for the open
ing of the clerks Office. Quietly entering
the latter, he seldom fails to locate several
mice at play. Selling a heavy book which
is kept for the purpose, the enterprising
clerk deity tosses 1t. The result Is always
very disastrous to the little fellows on the
floor.
The admiring friends OF the death-dealing
clerk declare that he has become SO pro-
ficient in the art of book throwing that he
can regulate the effect Of the same to the
extent Of merely stunning the mice or kill
ing them outright, as he may elect,

Fer overstaying Her Leav'

sIt's an old story that the United States
treasurer occasionally pays warrants for
the sum Of one cent to creditors OF the
government" said an old department clerk
the other day, but it's not 50 well known,
but equally true, nevertheless, that gov
ernment clerks are sometimes docked one
cent for overstaying their annual leave
minute or fraction thereof In the Treas
ury Department in particular the rule is
infiexible that clerk who exceeds the reg
ulation leave even for a minute in year
shall forfeit a proportiOnate amount of his
pay, The taxation Of delinquents requires
eternal vigilance and careful calculation,
but is regarded as essential to the best
interests Of the service. No fractions Of a
minute are considered and there is no PEN
atty less than cent. The salary per min
ute is determined by dividing the annual
salary by all the working days, which ex-
clude Sundays and holidays. and allow
ing seven hours for each day. On that
basis it is computed that the salaries or
government clerks average about cent
minute. OF course some get more and
others less, but that covers the most OF
them. 1t does not seem much to deduct
ten cents from the 81 200 salary of a clerk
who has exceeded his sixty days leave by
ten minutes, but he Invariably treats such
action as a great outrage on his rights as

the visitors could realize what had hap

shaft. Reaching the bottom of the shaft,
hardly 200 feet from the surface, the men

Rhodes Phonetic French.
From the Brooklyn Eagle

Every anecdote told of Cecil Rhodes
proves the greatness of the man He has
met no obstacle which he could not sur
mount. even to teaching British sailors to
pronounce French so that a Frenchman
could understand it. Following is the
story of how he did 1t: While on the way
to England from the Cape on a Castle
liner he was on deck while passing Cher
bourg, where several vessels of the French
channel squadron were drawn up in line
to salute the ex-Empress Eugenie's yacht
The Frenchmen who were spread out on
the yards of their vessels shouted "Vive
llmperatrice" The Castle liners captain
wishing to show his respect to the ex-
empress, got his men ready to salute but
in the short time at his disposal he could
not school his crew to repeat the French
words.
Tell them to say Beef lemons and
cheese, suggested Rhodes, playfuily,
and to his utter amazement the yacht was
greeted with deafening yell of beef,
lemons and cheese" which entirely drown
ed the voice of the French sailors. The
ex-empress is stated to have expressed
great pleasure at the compliment after.

CAUSE OF HIS DOWNFALL,
The Bargain Counter Was Responsible
for the Pink Shirt


He went to his desk in the Treasury De-
partment one day wearing violently pink
madras shirt. 1t was solid pink, without a
break anywhere. 1t is true that he had
tried to hide it all under big black neck
tie, but some Of 1t shone through the OPEN
ings of his waistcoat at the neck Even
that little was sufficient to cause a commo-
tion. The women in the room looked
shocked and the men began to confer about
the matter In a mysterious manner as IL
an unhealthy intruder had come into their
midst. Finally one Of them edged up to
him and asked:
Anything the matter at homer"
He couldn't understand the question, but
he said that everything was all right.
How much did you win or lose last
night?' another one asked. after he had
moved UP in an awe-struck manner.
"On what?" he asked; but received no re-
ply to his question, and his interrogator
merely looked at him in a sad kind of Way
Playing the races by wire, are you:''
inquired a third one of his friends, who had
curiOusly kept aloof from him, except to
edge around and ask one Of these apparent
Il don't play the races, and you know it,
among you people?"
Nothing more was said for awhile, and
then fourth friend walked around and in
quired:
Promoting pugilists now, keeping
pawnshop or living double 'life?'
This question was sufficient for him to
demand an explanation, and then his
friends gathered and explained to him that
this terrible pink shirt had caused those
who knew him to fear that he was either
losing his mind or had at last become a
sport in the fullest sense of the word
Then for the first time he felt the degra-
dation that had fallen upon him. With
tears in his eyes, and gathering himself
together, he made this statement:
my downfall is due to bargain DAYS in
the stores: These bargains are the curse
of womankind and mankind. I saw where
a certain store was selling $3.50 shirts for
80 cents. That was too tempting, and I
went to see the shirts. The salesman de-
INJURED when I told him they were too
red. They just suit your complexion he
said, and they are the best bargains we
ever offered. We are selling them merely
because they are broken lots and because
their color is a little strong But all fash
ionable men wear them All this had moth
ing to do with it. however. The thought
Of getting $3.50 for 80 cents was too much
and 1 bought something I didn't need or
want. Then l concluded to wear the shirt
just to get something out Of it. I realize
that I have done wrong. and I ask my
friends to remember the cause of this
DOWNFALL"
When he finished a great spIotch of tears
fell down on his table of figures on treas
ury appropriations and he sobbed aloud.
