CAPTIVATING SIMPLICITY.
The way John BurrOughs Secured
Treasury ucrkHhip.

tltFkHhtps
Early in the sixties of the last cen.
tury. whom Hugh McCulloch had just
been appointed comptroller of the cur.
rency to organize the new department
under the provisions of the rational
bnnk act. there walked into hts office
unannounccd, one day stranger
dressed in store clothes and wearing
long hair
"My namc is Burroughs John Bur
roughs" said the visitor. II should like
to have Il position in your department"
"Whut do you know about bankingT
asked the comptroller thinking that
perhaps in the unique stranger might
be discovered some genius of an ac-
tuary or accountant.
"Unhappily nothing" replied the ap
plicant.
"Who sent you here"
"No one"
,"Well, who's your congressman? To
whom can you refer meI'
81 know no congressman"
"And YOU expected to get a govern
ment position without qualification for
the position and without Endorsement
or backing of any character"
81 think | could learn Office work
here. and the salary would he a great
help to mo in my literary career"
"Oh. YOU are writer, are you?
What's your line? Poetry, pcrhaps?"
II try TO write poetry" confessed the
visitor.
"Got any of it with your asked the
comptroller, now considerably amused.
"If so, let's see It,"
The poetnaturallst produced Il song
redolcnt of early spring. 1t treated of
the chcwink, the oven bird and the
Carolina wren, with dainty reference
to forest violets and hepatica.
"Thls is great" commented the comp
troller; Its right ont of the woods"
(Which is more than can be said Of
the author" observed Mr.. Burroughs,
thinking of the world of finance which
he was seeking to invade.
The comptroller laughed. "And is

II have some more poems at home"
was the bland and sincere reply.
In much mcrriment the comptroller
summoned an assistant Heres the
most astonishing instance of ingenu-
BUSINESS | have ever encountered in
public life" said he. "rhat man over
there applies for government position
and the only hackers that he can name
are the muses.. Yet this department is
not political, and somehow I'm inclined
to put the fellow to work. | am cap
tivated by the mans honest sim
plicity."
So John Burroughs was set TO work
as treasury clerk. No appointment
ever before had been secured on such
basis and no one since has had the
temerity in asking for n government

as his only references.
Some of Mr. Burroughs old col
leagues are still in the treasury service
In telling this story of his appointment
they dwell with emphasis upon the cX'
celent work he did in the department
earning rapid promotions and finally
securing the responsible position of re,
ceiver for failed national bank in
New York, the affairs of which he set
