We love the spring like anything,
And on, we're glad to note
The trees so bare full soon will wear
A nice green overcoat.

And gentle cows begin TO browse
Upon the soggy grass.

Madison, April IL.
| William Miller, the colored janitor
in the executive department at the
capitol, stood first in the list of all
the janitors in the employ of the state
in the markings of the civil service
commission for this class of labor.
Mr.. Mller's mark is 80, which is ex-
| ceedingly high, as the commission
has already established the reputation
of marking closely. In most of the
classes the highest mark given is 80
or 81. The appointment of Miller was
made by General George E. Bryant
nearly four years ago at the sugges-
ton OF Governor La Toilette. Under
the civil service system all the jani-
tors in the employ of the state last
December Is, when the law took eff
feet, were required To take a non
competitive examination Mr.. Miller
is an educated and cultured colored
man, and is one of the pillars of the
African Methodist church of Madison.
He was educated in a Kentucky insti-
tuition of learning which was later
closed against the colored race. He
has read the old Greek and Latin
classics in the original, an accom-
plishment rarely found in people of
this race. He is married and has
