Men .6tenOgraphers Scarce.

'"rhere is one feature Of the govern
ment service that puzzles me-" said u
chief OF division in the Treasury De-
stenographers. ! don't see why men
who have ambitions to enter govern
ment work don't equip themselves
along this line. do not mean to dis
pargae the efficiency OF women type
writer's. for they do all that Is expect
ed Of them. and more. too But there
Is a Limitation to their usefulness. no
matter how expert they may be. There
are certain confidential relations which
superior must always have with his
assistant, which cannot he shared with
woman. Oftentimes we have to rely
on the judgment Of an inferior. and are
not always willing, and. in fact, would
be afraid, to trust to the discretion of
a woman.
ITO my mind the scarcity OF men
typewriters is largely due to the fact
that women have bluffed their mascu-
line rivals or would-be rivals from the
field. The latter evidently think that
the craft has been monopolized by the
women. To tell the truth. there is no
field so much open to men. as far as
Uncle Sam is concerned. as that of the
typewriter, and in few is there held out
such prospect of advancement. For in
stance, Secretary Cortelyou is an ex-
stenographer. and not SO much of an
lex" at that. for he was, and always
will be, a skillful hand at the type
writer. But he is Cabinet possibility,
and he rose from the opportunities
held out by his calling. Washington

PINK PILLS FOR PALE PEOPLE.
BEDRIDDEN WITH CHRONIC INFLAMMA-
TORY RHEUMATISM, MISS WALTON S
LIFE HAD BEEN DESPAIRED OF BY
HER DOCTOR.

The doctor had made his last call at |
the house of Miss Maggie Walton, No
1926 Main street, Peoria, ILL.,, and had
told her sorrowing mother that
nothing more could be done. Maggie
might die at any time. The situation
was critical enough to warrant the
doctors conclusion, for the trouble was
inflammatory rheumatism and it had
attacked the heart. But Miss Walton
is healthy, happy young lady to-day.
DR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People cured her and she is enthusiastic
in telling the story. She says:

matory rheumatism and had suffered

arms and legs swollen to twice their

thought I was dead. The rheumatism
had effected my heart and that was the
cause of the fainting spells. 1t Was

and there were days and days when not
even a spoonful of liquid would stay on
my stomach.

WHO CARED FOR HIS CUSTOMERS.

WHO CARED FOR HIS CUSTOMERS.
When a man does praiSeWOrthy
deed let us express our appreciation of
it: for>his sake, our sake, and the good
of others.
When the great strike came on,
Michael Kilbride had on hand some
coal which he had purchased for his
customers. And Notwithstanding he
was offered double the price for it, he
said: "This coal belongs to my pa
irons, and they shall have it," He
took care of his customers, and they
are grateful for it; and they will most
likely look out for his interest as never
before.
1t illustrates the Christian doctrine
of community of interest, and co-opera-
tion for mutual welfare. Ii the mine
operators, labor leaders, and miners
| had acted on that principle there would
have been no strike. To gain some
thing, for the time being, at another'S
loss, is not the sure way to win success.
s.We are members one of another" If
Mr. Kilbride, of whom I have bought
coal for the last IL years, with entire
satisfaction, had sacrificed my con-
veniencea and comfort by selling the
coal he had saved for me, to another
at S15 per ton, should have felt under
no obligation whatever to continue his
faithful customer. The bond of bust
ness fellowship would thus have been
broken. He saved the coal for the
people of his community; and he will
not only save the confidence of his
patrons, but in the long run he will
gain more than he could have made by
taking advantage of the situation.
Call it intelligent self-interest if you
please; but is not wisdom justified by
her works? Does not the Golden Rule
commend itself to the good common
sense Of men as being the better part
