The Candid Popy..

No man has ever yet succeeded in
lalnting an honest portrait Of himself
In an autobiography however sedu-
lously he may have set to work about
II. In spite of his candid purpose he
omits necessary touches and adds su-
perGuous ones. At times he cannot
help draping his thought, and the least
shred OF drapery DISCUSSES 1t. It Ia
only the dlarist who accomplishes the
feat of self portraiture, and he, without
any such end In view, does It uncon-
sciously. A man cannot keep a daily
record of his comings and goings and
the little items that make up the sum
of his life and not inadvertently give
himself away at every turn. He lays
bare his heart with candor not POSI-
BILE to the self consciousness that In
evitably colors premeditated revelation.
Unknowingly he wears his heart upon
his pen for DAVIS to peck Mt. While
Mr.. Samuel Pepys was filling those
small octave pages with his perplexing
cipher he never once imagined that h0
was adding Photographic portrait Of
himself TO the worlds gallery OF, i'm
mortnls. We are more intimately ac-
quainted with Mr.. Samuel Pepys, the
inner man-his little meannesses aud
his generosIties-thn we are with half
the persons we call our dear friends

In the mlnuscule manuscripts Of the
eighth, ninth and following centuries
the period, on the line or high, was
first used; then the comma and semi

whose power was rather stronger than
that OF the comma. Some say that the

for which the inverted semicolon,
which was gradually dropped, may
have furnished the mark The Greeks
use the semicolon as an Interrogation

The E1y'S NOON Hour.

An Illinois congressman said that
during g hot summer day he sought
rest in hammock beneath the scant
shade of an old tree that stood at the
corner of q down state hotel.
Il had no sooner stretched myself in
the hammock" said he, than these
flies attacked me. seemingly by the
million. 1t was intolerable, and in no
pleasant frame of mind looked up the
proprietor.

One of the Only s'KeI's" Plays.

An ancient baseball fan tells this
story to illustrate the quickness and
thickness of Mike Kelly, the one time
king of the green diamond:
"a game between Boston and Wash
ington was played at Beantown. Char
lie Bennett was catching, and Mike
Kelly was sitting on the bench when a
foul which Rcunett could not possibly
get goes up N the air toward the
bench, and Kelly, being captain, yells
to the umpire that he will put Bennett
out Of the game, and at the same time
he puts on a mitt with lightning speed
and catches the ball. He then tries to
make the umpire allow the catch, but
the umpire, after wrangling a long
time with Kelly, decides the ball was
in play and Bennett could not be re-
moved from the game until the ball
had been caught by player in the
game. so he ordered the batsman to
hit over. This was quick thought of
Kelly, even if it did not work"

PAYNE ON TULLOCH's LETTER
Charges Have Been Referred to the Blu
reaus Having Jurisdiction.

Washington, May 10. = POstmas-
ter General Payne has sent letters to
the comptroller of the treasury, the
auditor of the pOstoffice department
and other officials of his department
calling their attention to statements
made by exCashier Tulloch in his
communication. The letters ask fer
amy eXplana ton or further infOrma-
ton that might throw light on the sub
ject. The formal charges of Tulloch
Payne said, have been dissected, and
the matter relating to particular
branches of the service has been re-
ferred to the bureaus having jurisdic-
ton for report. Payne said that he
regarded the charge against the audi
tor and the comptroller as the most
serious of the allegations.
He said that if those officials ''al-
lowed improper accounts to be audited
or suppressed what might be called
pay dirt has been found" the charges,
he said, impugning their good faith
and integrity. Payne pointed out a
difference which existed between
charges of irregularity and of actual
violation of law. "A government Of
ficial," he said, may buy something
which he has no authority to purchase,
and no authority to pay for, but the
government gets the use of the article,
nevertheless. Irregularities do not nee
essarily mean anything unlawful. The
department may pay out of the wrong
fund, either by accident or by design,
yet that need not be unlawful"
The postmaster general was asked
regarding the charges against former
First Assistant Postmaster General
Perry Heath and George w. Beavers,
formerly chief of the division of sal
aries and allowances, and as to what
effect the fact that they were out of
the service would have in the consid-
Grafton of these cases. Il have moth
ing to do replied the postmaster gen
eral with the personal relations be-
tween Mr.. Tulloch and Indiana poll
ticians, nor with his hatred for the
postmaster of Washington or others.
If any improper act was done by any
one now in office or by any one who is
not now in office, so far as it might
reflect on the department, we will in
vestigate it"

GLORY.

Glory is but a transient dream that
gives color to a sleep bespangled with
illusions Of greatness; a mirage. gilt
tering, but unsubstantial, lowering
above the oasis in the desert of life at
whose fountain many a weary travel
er would quench his burning thirst
that he may press on to grander
heights. 1t beckons us on to where
the broad light plays on countless
graves of those once called great, but
now forgotten. upon whose gravestone
is chiseled the mocking phrase, "Sic
transit gloria mundi." How often
does the victor, spent and worn. look
around for the laurels and the peace
he has earned, only to find the bubble
bursted, the colors Embellishments

Deen c1OSeu. The bakers had voted to
walk out in sympathy with the col
ored walters, and to forestall this move
ment the company decided to lock out
its employees. Office men, drivers, en-
giHeers, tiremen, scrubwomen. laundry
girls, and all other persons on the pay
rolls of the concern are out of work.
The tie-up is complete, and it seems
that both sides have settled down for
a long drawn-Cut fight.
Laundry owners in many parts of
the city assembled their workers and
attempted to influence them to desert
the union. In every case reported the
effort was failure. The Capital
laundry, 1888 Twelfth street, and the
Waite Hand laundry, Forty-seventh
street and Langley avenue, opened
with union employees. This makes thir-
ty-three laundry owners that have
signed the union scale.
Five hundred blacksmiths' helpers
struck to compel their employers to
accept wage scale, after having re-
FUSED to accept recommendation by
a committee of their number to sub
NIT their differences to arbitration.
Nearly as many blacksmiths are also
said to have followed in a sympathetic
strike. The whole business is said to
be a violation of an agreement.
Another strike of Chicago gas work
ers is imminent At union meeting

demand the reinstatement of 1913 dis

PLATT A PLAIN TALKER

Direct-Says He "Knew It Was a Lie."

New York, May Ex-senator Thorn
as G.. Platt denies the statement made

cashier of the Washington postoffice,
that ex-Superintendent Beavers, of the
salary and allowance division of the
postoffice department, had requested a
high official to use his influence to get
bonding business for bonding COM

DENVER STRIKE SITUATION
Printers Charge the Alliance with Yiolat-

ing Contract and Talk of Strike.
Denver, Colo. May 1S.-There is
practically no change in the local strike
situation. The state board of arbitra-
ton appears 20 be the only source of
hope for a settlement of the difficulty.
1t is stated that the Allied Printing
Trades have notified several publishers
who have cast their lot with the Citi-
zens' Alliance that in SO doing they
had violated their contract with the
council, and that unless some plan of
arbitration was agreed upon by tomor-
row night the trades belonging to the
council would on that night take up
the question of joining the strike.
Unless the alliance recedes from it's
previously declared position it will not
agree to this suggestion, and the re-
suit is obvious.
