Uncle Sam Wants Smart Young Men

The Civil Service Commission has
officially announced Examinations for
this fall to be held in every state.
Perhaps not since the Inauguration of
the Civil Service has there been so
many appointments made in the var
ious departments of the service as
during the past year and the good
work is still going on; particularly is
this true in the Railway Mail, one of
the best paying positions coming un-
der the civil service rules. The pay
is good from the start with fine oppor-
tunities for promotion. Full particu-
lars may be secured by addressing the
Interstate Schools, Cedar Rapids,
Iowa. Their students receive the high
est grades and consequently the first
appointments. Their hundreds of
students now in the service testify to
the excellence of their work. 3lw4*

She Had a Presentiment

Mrs. David Farran. Jr., a relative Of
the people who We're killed by a rail-
road train at Sharon Hill, recently tells
Of a strange presentiment she had on
the night her kinsfolk were killed. They
were making merry in her home when
nearly all present rose to their feet and
taking hold OF hands began to dance
about the room.
Suddenly" Mrs. Farran said yester-
day, Il heard distinctly what seemed
to be q voice behind me say firmly, sit
down The command came three times
quick and emphatic. I dropped upon
the lounge and a strange feeling OF de-
preston almost overwhelmed me. In
an instant all my merriment and glad
ness disappeared. I did not know what
was the matter with me. I tried to be
cheerful but ii was useless. Every one
seemed so lively and gay that my sud-
den depression mystified me.
Il cannot remember a time when ]
did not accompany those who visited
me to the station. But on Wednesday
might, in the midst Of the CHEEKY good
bys and the invitations one was ex-
tending to the other to pay visits ] sal

Jnnan,s aueerest Prayer.

The Queerest prayer in all the Asiatic
lands, where queer prayers are many
and plentiful, Is the prayer that is
used by tens OF thousands OF Bud
dhists IN Japan.
If they desire something very great
" they write their wish in the form OF
a prayer to Buddha on a strip OF rice
paper. This they chew until It can be
rolled into a hard ball.
Then they go to Shinto temple and
hurl the wet ball with all their might
against q gate Of the temple. If It
sticks it is a sign that Buddha has
deigned to listen and that he VIII grant
the petition, whatever it is. If it drops
to the ground the petitioner knows
that his prayer cannot be granted and
he must resign himself to do without
it, whatever It may be.
Unhapplly even this simple prayer
is too troublesome for many japanese,
and to save them even the slight work
Of writing their prayer Il smart Jap
has started a factory whore ready
made prayers are printed

New autumn Skirts

Such extremely smart autumn gowns
as are designed Tor street wear make
the success Of the short skirt a cer-
tainty. for now both stout and slender
women can have their skirts short and
look well. There are exceedingly plain
designs and most elaborate ones; in
fact, there IS an endless variety OF
style. The plain gored skirt, seven or
nine cores, with rows OF stitching or
braid, with o good flare around the
foot extra fulncss being inserted in
each seam TO insure the desired width,
the box plcated and the side pleated
fashions all being popular.
In plaid ana check material n most
curious and original effect is obtained
by the manner in which the pleats are
laid. for the pattern of the material IS
IN bias or crosswise lines.
There are not many women slender
enough to wear the pleated skirts,
those made IN the wide box pleats.
without a yoke on the upper part of
the skirt. and 1t is astonishing what a
different appearance this yoke gives
for there are so many different ways
Of putting it on; sometimes il is
rounded. sometimes pointed; the most
becoming are made with a round point
in front and are much deeper in front
than at the back. so following again
the straight front line that has been IN
fashion 50 long. But so much depends
upon the fit and shape OF the yoke. It is
not remarkable that it is n subject OF
much thought 1t should have sufficient
depth in front and over the hips. Sc
as not TO add an inch more of widtl
than is necessary, and then there car
be just as much fulness in the sldr
below as is desired, and just now tn,
craze is for a lot of material.
