government employees who nave
reached an age where their usefulness
is impaired can be separated from the
government pay rolls. Chairman raw
ney.o of the house committee on appro-
priations. and his colleagues 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 20 years.
This looks like a harsh and cruel
measure. but investigation of the de-
partment has revealed a large number
of superannuated clerks who are really
a detriment to the service, Blu who are
drawing good salaries.
There is such a decided opposition
to the establishment of a 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 OFF 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
eminent service.
This effort to get better service from
the clerks and to eliminate those who
are useless has aroused an intense feel
ing among the $4,000 government en-
ployes in this city. The local papers
are filled with letters giving instances
where men over 70 are the most eff
cient employees of the government.
They ,also call attention to the fact
that the effective men in the senate
and In other branches of the govern
ment are those who have passed the
allotted three score and ten.

exchange houses with the best outside
connections. The remainder are what
are known as bucket shops. This is a
pretty good number for a town OF
about 800, 900 inhabitants, of whom
100, 900 are negroes who are not per-
mitted to indulge in speculation in
these places. The large number or
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
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 a whirl at the mar
ket.
There have been some sensational
runs of luck on the part of government
employees who pike" along on a few
| dollars and one per cent. margins.
About ten years ago a 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
to 81, 900, 900. This is a 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 a few
years ago and he is now an ordinary
'piker,' but without q government job.

The late Gen. Joseph Wheeler, when a

mail carrier groaning under the weight
of an enormous sack of stuff, and invited
the man to take a seat beside him.

street. If 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 n of these
employees interfere with the smokers.
The fact is this rule at the capitol is a
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 a
rule adopted that smoking must be
prohibited in the corridors and in the
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 a big, black cigar. Excuse me-
said the doorkeeper, "but do you see
+hat?" pointing to the sign.
Yes; isn't it all right?"
1--WE can't allow that here" ex-
planned the doorkeeper, pointing to the
sign again.
Why It doesn't look offensive to
me; going to take it down, eh?"
1.-THE rules are that we mustn't allow
1t here" insisted the employe.
"Oh, well, if they think the sign is
doing any harm here take it out. ]
don't care. 1t doesn't look any more
indecent 20 me than some of these pic
lures that they leave on the walls; but
there is nc accounting for tastes" and
the nice old gentleman, chuckling,
passed into the senate floor and the
e employe realized that he had been
-joshed" by one of the senator's. He
has not been so eager to stop smoking
IN the corridors since.

his disgust with certain magazine arti-
cles which represent the government
to be honeycombed with corruption
and members of the senate to be GRIM
fnals who ought to be behind the bars.
The president has already established
beyond all question that he is the
sworn enemy of the CRATER, but he has
nc patience with the writers and mag
azines that would give the impression
that every other man in the public
service is a CRATER. He regards the
indiscriminate SANDER of public serv-
ants as nothing less than a crime, and
recently declared that men who would
deliberately misrepresent other men
and attack public officials without the
warrant of facts were no better than
criminals.

and a liar" he said recently, Il believe
I would choose the thief, for. you would
know where to find him, but you don't

in the habit of comparing the writer's
OF anonymous and unfounded attacks
upon the senate and other government
bodies to the character in Bunyan's
Pilgrims Progress who welded the
muck rake. They gather all the dirt
and filth and can see non Of the good

smirching characters and writing SEN

eating graft from public life than any

Doctor BI1glamS Says

Vegetable Compound

The wonderful power of Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound over
the diseases of womankind is not be-
cause it is a stimulant, not because it
is palliative, but simply because it is
the most wonderful tonic and recon-
~structor ever discovered to act directly
upon the generative organs, positively
curing disease and restoring health and
vigor.
Marvellous cures are reported from
all parts of the country by women who
have been cured, trained nurses who
have witnessed cures and physicians
who have recognized the virtue of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, and are fair enough to give
credit where it is due.
If physicians dared to be frank and
open, hundreds of them would acknowl-
edge that they constantly prescribe
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound in severe cases of female ills, as
they know by experience it can be re-
lied upon to effect a cure. The follow
ing letter proves it.

Women who are troubled with pain

of Lydia E. Pinkham and for twenty
five years has been advising sick
women free of charge. No other living
person has had the benefit of a
