it was pretty good thing.

exchange houses with the best outsids
connections. The remainder are what
are known as bucket shops. This is
pretty good number for a town of
about 100000 inhabitants, OF whom
100000 are negroes who are not per-
mitted- to indulge in speculation in
these places. The large number OF
government clerks here who receive a
stated salary probably accounts for the
patronage Of the bucket, shops. They
are sure OF their pay and squeeze out
a few dollars every week or month to
throw at the BIRDS in these places.
There is no anti-bucket law in Wash
ington, but the practice of clerks spec
ulating in them is frowned upon by the
higher officials in the departments.
That makes no difference, however, as
the clerks claim they have a right to
do what they please with their own
money. At noon, when a half hour is
given for luncheon, hundreds of clerks
can be seen rushing out Of the big gov
eminent buildings to the nearest buck
ct shop and taking whirl at the mar
ket
- There have been some sensational
runs Of luck on the part or government
employees who 'spike" along on, a few
dollars and one per cent. margins.
About ten years ago little group of
these every day clerks began playing
in the bucket shops and later went to
the legitimate exchange houses. One
of them began with a $40 bill, which
in the course of four years had run up
ito $1,0OO,00o. This is historic case
and. has inspired /more patronage for
bucket shops than any other incident
in the history of the city: This mans
money could not stay with him, how
ever, as he dropped his whole amount
in the Northern Pacific squeeze few
years ago and he is%now- an ordinary
''piker,' but without a government job.

$3C,S00,000, according to estimates by
Frank H. Olnlstead. This is an enor-

amount is due to the $26,500,000 which
the conduit, over $50 miles long, will

street.T.lf they examine a little more
closely they will find instructions to
the police and other employees in the
capitol to see that there is no smoking,
but they will never see one of these
employees interfere with the smokers.
The fact is this rule at the capitol is
dead letter. 1t is one of the relics OF
a great reform worked by the late
Speaker Reed in the fifty-fourth con-
gress when he drove out of the capitol
corridors apple women, curiO sellers
and newspaper stands. He also had
rule adopted that smoking must be
prohibited in the corridors and in the
elevators, and for some years this rule
was religiously kept. In latter times,
however, it has passed into innocuous
desuetude. -
; Sometimes a new employee takes
these instructions literally, but he usu-
ally discovers that he is expected to
wink at the. smoking. The other day a
doorkeeper, who had just been put on,
noticed a nice looking. old gentleman
marching through the corridor putting
at big, black cigar Excise me-:
said the doorkeeper, "but do you see
that?" pointing to the sign.
Yes; isn't it all right"
I'VE can't allow that here" ex-
planned the doorkeeper, pointing to the
sign again.
Y why It doesn't look offensive to
me; going t6 take it down, eh?"
1.-The rules are that we mustn't allow
it here" insisted the employee. -
! '''Oh, well, it they think the sign is
doing any harm here take it out. !
don't care. 1t doesn't look any more
indecent 10 me than some of these mic:
lures that they leave on the walls; bu,
there is no accounting for tastes" and
the nice old gentleman, chuckl1ng.
passed into the senate floor and the
new employee realized that he had been:
"joshed" by one of the senators. He
has not been so eager to stop smoking
ip. the corridors since. ;. -. - -

government employees who nave
reached an age where their usefulness
is impaired can be separated from the
government pay rolls. Chairman laws
ney, of the house committee on appro-
priations, and his colleagnesss@have
worked out a scheme which prevents:
the paying of employees over IS years
of age more than $1,000 salary. 1t fur
Their provides that after the year 1913
no one shall be employed as a clerk
who has reached the age of 70 years.
This looks like harsh and cruel
measure, but investigation Of the de-
partment has revealed large number
of superannuated clerks who are really
a detriment to the service, but who are
drawing good salaries. st..
There is such a decided opposition
to the establishment of civil pension
list that it would be useless to attempt
to put, such a proposition through con-
gress. This is realized by the leaders.
and they have substituted the other.
scheme OF reducing the pay Of old
clerks and cutting them OF after
reaching 70 years of age. They, have
fixed the year 1913 in order to give the.
clerks who are approaching 70 or who
have exceeded that age a chance to
make some provision for the time when
they will be separated from the gov.
erpment service. s .sss :. :s !. :. p.
