BIRD SWALLOWS DIAMOND.

Pet Canary Pecks Valuable Jewel
From Owners Earring and Dies
of Indigestion.
For peclling a valuable diamond
from an earring belonging to Mrs.
Paul, OF Philadelphia, a pet canary
bird paid the death penalty. Mrs.
Paul had placed the bird cage on a
sitting room table, and was encourag-
ing the canary to warble for some
the unusual repast.
The earring was lying on the table
alongside of the cage and within
reach of the canary. The bird exam
ined the jewel for some time, and
after arriving at the conclusion that
it was worm of some rare species
pecked at it and swallowed the stone
with gulp.
The loss of the diamond in this
manner caused a sensation in the
Paul household, and every one plann-
ed out one scheme after another
for the recovery of the jewel. The
bird was not in the least embarrassed
by the rich diet it adopted, but while
the hostess grieved it sang merry
songs of joy in all the bird languages.
Finally Mrs. Paul decided to send
for a physician. She did not wish to
lose her pet. and still less her dia-
mond, so she intended to ask the
doctor to perform a surgical opera
tion on the bird. While Mr.. Paul
was on his way for the physician the
canary died suddenly from acute in
digestion

The Real Question.

Of administration and method, I feel
sure that some practical and reasonable
plan will be adopted in the near future
that will commend itself TO both the
Government and the individual If the
question were presented as to which
would secure best results-tO increase
all Government salaries 10 per cent, in

OF the average salary received for ten
years preceding retirement-I incline to
think that the Government would save
latter suggestion.
THE proposition to deduct a certain per
cent from the present salaries in order
to create an adequate fund would seem
to be in the nature OF a reduction OF
salary. This does not seem to be justi-
fed by the conditions. I have not made
sufficient investigation and given suffi-
cient thought TO the matter 10 say
that 1 would finally recommend the de-
tails suggested as to the creation Of n

cate a belief IN the necessity for some

Additional Views From
Those Qualified to
Speak.
What Has Been Accom-
plished by the Civil Ser
vice Association.

II HE TIMES, in pursuance of the
/ plan of the past two weeks, pre-
sents herewith additional and comPre-
hensive views, from those qualified 10
speak, on the question of the retire
ment, on pension, at a certain age, Of
civilian employees of the Government.
In addition to those views here pre-
scented for the first time, the gist and
body is printed of the report made TO
the House Committee on Reform in the
CIVIL Service, by Jacob W. Starr, presi-
dent CT the Civil Service Retirement
Association.
MT. Starr has been quoted before, but
this report is Of value aside from his
personal views because Of what his as
ISOLATION represents.
The Retirement Association is the
capitalization of the efforts of two
score years at obtaining some provision
for the care of superannuated civilian
employees. Not till three years ago was
the value of organization in accom-
plishing such results realized by those
most interested, the clerks themselves.
The organization has been fortunate
from the first in having practical men
at its head. The results obtained By
them, in the way of comprehensive and
pertinent data, not Heretofore available
from any source, have won for the as
ISOLATION the thanks of the House com
mittee, and the special permission of
the Chief Executive to continue in their
work. These fscts make their exposi-
ton Of their side of the case worthy of
especial consideration.

The age for retirement should be pre-
sumptive rather than conclusive. In the
case Of any particular employee there
should be the possibility of further re-
tention upon specific consideration Of his
particular case-perhaps by some board.
Does the Government owe any main
tenance to an employee retired from its
service through mere age? Under a
spoils system the salary Of an Office was
assumed TO be in the nature of a gratut
~; under merit system the emplOya is
assumed to render each year fun value
for 1t. Does he render more? 1t has
been commonly remarked that. while
the Government salaries from s.. coo up
are smaller than those which equivalent
ability might secure in private business
or profession. the salaries of subordi-
nate emplOyes-as clerks. from $40 to
H,S00 are higher than those paid in
business. 1t is then inferred that the
Government is paying unduIy high for
this class of service. The salaries IN
the clerical work proper are. believe.
somewhat higher than those paid in
business, but they are justly so. What

STEPS ARE NECESSARY
TO RELIEVE EMPLOYEES
An Officer of the Treasury
Also Advocates a Pen
sion Plan.

LLVT Is certain some steps should be
taken for the relief OF clerks
and employees who have grown
old in the service Of the Govern
ment," said Capt ]. c. Wheeler. Deputy
Commissioner Of the Bureau of Internal
Revenue of the Treasury Department
1.-THE idea of civil pension system Is
not popular through the country. and
my own idea is that the desired relief
can be afforded through the creation Of
Of the earnings Of each clerk. I believe
the percentage could be made so low
and yet afford adequate aid. that it
would not be a burden.
1T is a serious problem. The man
who comes here and devotes his life to
the service Of the Government under the
civil service system should not be push
ed off the plank at the nd OF his USE
full years. What can he do? Nothing.
He is simply lost If he undertakes TO
perform any. other sort of work. If a
fund for the benefit of clerks of this
kind were created it would undoubted-
" obviate much hardship.
ut is as feasible to do this as it has
been to create the magnificent Soldiers
Home here in Washington where sol
diers may be given a home in their de-
Ginning years. I have never heard Of
any objection on the part of the men
who pay 10 keep up that home that Il

is so small that none feels il. and ev-
eryone appreciates the need Of some
such establishment
