STREET RAILWAY EMPLOYEES.

Applicants for positions on street rail-
ways have as much trouble to pass the ex-
aminatons as do men who are willing to
wear badge and carry a baton for the
District government
IT was unable to get on the police force"
said a Virginian to Star reporter yester-
day, land thought I would accept a posi-
ton with a local street car company in
order to gain the two years residence re-
CURED OF members of the police depart
ment. There were six men ahead of me in
the office. Behind the desk was q young
man who made no pretense of being a med
ical man. although he seemed to know all
that was necessary about human nature
The first man who called at his desk was
told that he would have to eat more fat
meat; another that he would have to grow
and another that he lacked discretionary
power. One more man, and then was to
step forward. The other mans face was
red. and SO was mine. What gave him his
ruddy complexion did not know. but
knew mine was the result Of exposure to
the sun on the fields at home.
when heard the clerk say to the man
ahead of me You drink and the applicant
walked out, was certain that would
meet with similar fate. I turned and
started out, but the clerk called me back
and asked me to state my business. I
wanted work and told him So I was told
that I was the kind Of a man that was
wanted, and the position was given me
without any hesitation. I afterward
learned that the other mans complexion
was the result of bad habits. and that the
clerk knew his business well. The COM
plexion Of my face did not change after my
work as motorman for six months had been
finished, and my health was better than
ever. In cold weather was caused some
suffering, and in hot weather / frequently
thought would melt.
But" he concluded. "the position is an
excellent one from q hygienic standpoint.

low the business they would get color
about their faces and their health would

CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE.
It All Seemed to Point to Matrimonial
Intentions.

"A case Of almost conclusive crcumstan-
tial evidence indicating matrimonial inten-
lions on the part Of bashful young clerk
In my division has been causing that young
man considerable embarrassment of late,"
said a chief OF division in the War De-
partment the other day.
The other evening the young man in
question went out with a young lady to
make call on some Of her friends who re-
side in certain apartment house in the
northwest part Of the city. It was a rather
new structure, and since the young fellow
was not acquainted with its exact location
he found considerable difficulty in locating
the place. While, together with the young
lady, he was wandering along the street
keeping his eye open for the fiat a fellow
clerk IN the department happened elong,
and the perplexed young man with the
young lady sought his friends aid in the
difficulty by inquiring the location Of the
fiat. The proper direction was given, and
then the passing clerk seemed struck with
sudden bright thought. His face lighted
up with the significance Of his idea, and
grasping the hand Of his fellow clerk. he
said:
And say. old man. there are some fine
apartments in that house. Be Just the
thing for you. thought you had been un-
usually preoccupied at the office lately with
something besides your work Congratula-
tons. old man. Don't forget your Uncle
Fuller when you issue the pasteboards
GOOD luck TO both or you
And then the enthusiastic and quick
witted friend moved on. leaving the young
man and his companion both looking in
tently at the edge of the pavement, with the
color in their faces corresponding to the
glow of the setting sun.
Now. the circumstances in the case ali
pointed to the marriage Of the young clerk
as a natural sequence. The young man
had recently been admitted to the bar.
he was slated for promotion in the office.
he had just applied for his annual leave
and had been talking of taking a trip. Then.
again. 1t was known among the boys that
he had been saving up his salary for the
past few months. and had accumulated a
little bunch of money In the bank. In the
face of these facts. together with the met
dent Of his looking for a fiat in company
with handsome young lady, there seemed
but one conclusion to be reached in the
matter. and the brother clerk reached that
conclusion on the run
;"Of course the matter was spread about
the Office next day. and the bashful young
clerk now has an ache In his right arm
from shaking hands with the boys, who in
sist on congratulating him on his coming
matrimonial venture although he denies
emphatically that he has any such inten
tion The boys refuse to accept his expla-
nation of the case and are waiting for the
cards.
