of older people, the boy who is possessed of the de.

vicious pastime Boys look to men for their stand

In view Of this fact, and the further considera-
tion that man of prominence ought to respect the
opinions of men and women, it is one of the wonders
of the wild west that professional man of note in

That such forms of gambling have been ostra-
land and many of the smaller communities of the
west seems not to indicate to these men the pro-

or an author is a sinecure compared
to the corresponding position in the
service of a member of the Presidential
Cabinet. Where the duties of the work
ers in the former class are confined
largely to handling corresp ondence. the
right-hand men of Uncle Sans board
of directors must also meet dozens or
mayhap hundreds of callers every day.
The secretary 10 a Cabinet member
must simply forget that he possesses
any such thing as a temper. and in
the handling of all sorts and condi-
tons OF people-each with a certain real
or fancied dignity to be preserved-he
is called upon to exercise as much
diplomacy as a hotel clerk or the man
in the box Office of theater.
It is difficult to say what is the most
important qualification for success in
this exacting field. but certain IT is that
one Of the most essential is a willing
ness and ability to have ears but no
tongue in so far as the public business
Is concerned. A private secretary who
talks too much is worse than useless

Who are these Cabinet private secre-
taries? Where do they come from.
How were they chosen for the positions?
These are questions likely TO be asked
by persons when they learn of the ex-
ceptional exactions of the positions.
Some of the confidential lieutenants. II
might be answered, were associated
with their present chiefs ere they ac-
eepted Cabinet portfolios An excellent
example of these experienced workers
is found in the person of Fred l. Fish
back, private secretary to Secretary
Moody of the Navy Department. Mr..
Fishback was private secretary to Mr..
Moody when the latter was in the House
Of Representatives. and he had previ-
ously held a similar relation to the
Hon Marriott Brosius, Representative
Springer. and other Congressman, which
qualities him to compare authortatively
the relative responsibilities of private
secretaries TO Cabinet officers and mem
bers Of Congress respectively.
In the estimation of Mr.. Fishback. the
Cabinet private secretary has much the
more difficult position. In speaking of
the matter he said: II do not know that
the volume of work in the office of a
Cabinet member is so much greater, but
the work IS far more combining. The
secretary to a Congressman may. as a
rule. to a certain extent so arrange his
work as to do it in his own way For

ingly at it. To the young man making
money at a moderate gait there is cause
for envy in the spectacle of a young
fellow. perhaps not thirty years of age,
and with no especial pull, drawing
a salary of s.. 500 or more per year: en-
joying the luxury Of a magnificently
appointed private office, with his own
stenographer. and having at his be-
hest at the expense Of Uncle Sam a
smart horse and carriage-an equipage
which he could not purchase for less
than 81 900, and which, with allowance
for the coachman's wages, he could not
rrs'ntain for less than $50 per month.
However. there Is another side to the
picture. 1t shows the secretary, for IN

a night to receive kilograms. IL any
of the messages are really important
he will call up his chief by telephone,
but the chances are that on nine nights
out of ten IL is only the private secre-
tary whose rest is broken in this man
ner. Or. again, there might be por-
trayed the troubles that overtake the
secretary when he is called upon to
accompany his Cabinet member on a
more or less prolonged inspection or
speech-making tour throughout the
