UNCLE SAM 1xAc1s FULL TIME.
Employees Are Docksd for MinuteI
Loss OF Time.

ATe bothtN
Loss of Time.
Its an old story that the United
States treasurer occasionally pays war
rants for the sum of one cent to credit
ors of the government said an old
department clerk the other day, but
it's so well known, but equally true,
nevertheless, that government clerks
are sometimes docked one cent for
overstaying their annual leave a
minute or a fraction thereof. In the
treasury department in particular the
rule is inflo..ible that a clerk who ex-
ceeds the regulation leave even for a
minute in a year shall forfeit pro-
portionate amount of his pay.
The taxation of delinquents re-
quires eternal vigilance and careful
calculation, but 1t is regarded as es-
sential to the best interests ot'the SER
vice. No fractions of a minute are
considered and there is no penalty less
than a cent. The salary per minute Is
determined by dividing the annual sal
airy by all the working days, which ex-
clude Sundays and holidays, and al
lowing seven hours for each day. on
that basis it is computed that the sal
aries of government clerks average
about a cent a minute. OF course,
some are more and others less, but
that covers the most of them.
1T does not seem much to deduct
ten cents from the 1920 salary of a
clerk who has exceeded his sixty days
leave by ten minutes, but he invari-
ably treats such action as great out
rage on his rights as an American
citizen. The other day woman In
the treasury upset the entire office In
which she is employed for almost a
whole day." says the Washington Star,
'in her persistent efforts to get back
thirteen cents which had been deduct
ed from her salary for overstayine
her leave about quarter of an hour
She nearly went into Mysteries, but the
authorities were firm and she had 10

Phil King. the football coach who
has guided the Wisconsin eleven to
so many victories, will return next
year to coach again for the entire sea-
son. Shortly before the close Of the
season last fall King rendered his
resignation, but after persuasion
promised to come back for the latter
end of next year. Since then the COM
mittee Of the athletic board has been
trying to persuade King TO return for
the whole season. The only other
man who has been seriously consider
ed for the place, it is said, was Capt.

candidates have been talked of.

A MALICIOUS MEDDLER.
Tho Young Woman Had Very Coco
Ground for Detesting Him.

Two well-dressed and attractive
young women-business girls, appa-
rently-rustled into a car the other
morning and took seats. After they
were comfortably adjusted, with par
cells and umbrellas, the one in the blue
Goth suit scanned the two men who
sat opposite and remarked to her COM
panion:
Its too near the stove here; let's
move down" ga ~
Then the girls arose, and took seats
farther down, out of range of the two
men, -
What was the matter, Clara?" the
other girl asked; "it wasn't really too
warm back there"
No" the first girl answered with
spirit, but that horrid man with the
brown hat and overcoat sat near us
He is always on the car near me

Laura; who is he?"

The history of the present type OF
Irish terrier dates from about the year
1875, that being the first year that these
dogs were exhibited, which was at Bel,

them in England was at the Brighton

by Buffer, out of Jess. and Spuds, by
Jack, out of Virgie. and from these
shows it may be said that our modern
dogs date.

posedly. But it is not worth while

Vaughn was quite ready to forgive and

And this was only the beginning.
Nearly every day they met somewhere
for moment at least and the meeting
was always pleasant Carson heard
that she had explained this sudden
change of front by announcing that
she and the preacher had made it up.
Long enough before the lenten sea-
son had passed it had become natural
for him to regard her as his sworn
second in all church work. and when
they met ON Saturday to decorate
for Easter, Mable took up her role as
matter of course and zealously sec
onded his every suggestion.
1t was natural, then, that when they
at last stood alone together before the
lily banked altar he should have felt
called upon to express his gratitude
and II was also natural that as the
evening was growing late and the soft
April twilight was filling the church
with all sorts of shadows. his words
should have been warmer than graft

Arthur Tying, the muscle-covered
Harvard chap who recently shattered
(unoflicially) the intercollegiate
strength record is the talk of the col
lege world. His total, according to the
Sargent system of measurements. is
2,226.4. while the next best recorded
performance is l,940.9, by Allies of Min
nesota. Tying was born in Japan, the
son of Christian missionary and dur
ing his early days was not remarkable
for his strength. He stands feet 5
inches tall, weighs 172 pounds, and is
now 10 years of age. He has never
trained specially for his tests. but
seems to have gained his strength by
taking systematic exercise every day.
His grit and agility are in part re-
spou<ble for his record performance.
He hopes to put his record at 5000
points before the year is over.

When Carson Vaughn took charge
of Trinity church and of its congre-
CATION he did not dream OF the rocks
that lay in his apparently s.-ooth path.
In fact, the rocks did not develop cu-
til after the Christmas holidays. The
trouble began in small difference of
opinion concerning Christmas decora-
tions. Some wicked girls bent upon
shocking the more sedate members
mixed mistletoe with the moss that
was twined around the altar. Rev.
Carson Vaughn had sided with the
sedate ones and the mistletoe was ST.
aside. Everybody had treated the mat
ter as joke, that is everybody save

pretty young society reporter. She
took the matter not only seriously
but vengefully, and forthwith proceed
ed to make the Rev. Carson's life
burden to him. Taking down his ser
mons in shorthand and criticising his
English afterward in open scorn, was
one Of the favorite vents for her dis
pleasure, but there were others.
Vaughn felt himself slighted and ridi-
culed at every turn. He was a reso-

that her pew knew her no more, and
when any one attempted to sound her
on the subject she would respond with
eloquent disdain:

Carson was relieved. He could
write a sermon now without concen-
trating his whole attention upon its
grammatical construction and he could
deliver IL without feeling that he was
watched by eyes keen to criticise. He
would perhaps not have said openly
with his lips that he was glad to hive

cation but he was, and there were
more than enough to notice his free
