The Fool Who Sends
The Comic Valentine

There are many measly fools running
riot in the land,
Whom the old foolkiller yet has
overlooked,
But the day will surely come when
they'll feel his crushing hand,
For without doubt ho has them

And the fool Of all the fools, one

From the head clear to the bottom

The nnmitigatsd fool who has grabbed

Is the fool who sends the comic

WOMEN AT WASHINGTON:
EMPLOYED BY GOVERNMENT

About one-third of all employees of
the government departments at
Washington are women. Several re-
ceive over $500 per annum, 100 re-
ceive 81 400 per annum, $50 receive
| 81 200. 300 81 900, and the remainder
receive 5000 per annum.
The civil service commission rec
ords for the last year show that 2,OS3
women were examined for the vari-
Gus positions open to them under the
civil service. of these 2.476 passed
and 444 were appointed; l,351 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 APP
pointed under it. the remuneration
ranging from % cents an hour.
amounting from $50 TO $40 a month
to 500 month. The higher salaries
generally go TO the men employed
from this class; the lower salaries
are paid 70 the charwomen.
The most popular examination for
women is that for stenographers and
typewriters. Good stenographers"
is in ceaseless demand of the depart
ment official-not mediocre. but good
par excellence. On stenographic eN-
animation days the big. dreary exam
ination room at the commission *
crowded with trembling aspirants.
Nowadays the stenographer is of ne
cessity a typewriter, and the prelim-
mary tinkle and clink reverberates
from every known make of writing
machine. The men predominant.
Last year they numbered SOB, while
the women had little more than half
that representation-307- the aver
age passing was larger on the female
side. But when it, came to the ques-
ton of appointment, 50 out of the ia
men who passed received good posi-
tions, while only 10 out of the 100
women on the eligible list were APP
pointed. These positions carry a sal
airy of from 5000 to 81 200 81 year; the
stenographers of bureau chiefs re-
ceive 81 600 and those of heads of de-
partments' $1,000. The commissioner
of pensions employs woman stem
ographer. and many of the lower of
fcials refuse to have male stenog-
raphers in their offices.
Government work Is well paid only |
when well done. In the third place, |
are the reward of merit. |
A very striking illustration of this
occurred last winter when a Young |
woman was made chief of one of the |
divisions in the pOstoffice depart
ment, because she knew more about |
the work of that particular division
than any other employee in it. She |
