USING DEPARTMENT PHONES.
A Business, Man Thinks the Rule 10
Too RigIdly Observed.

TT strikes me that In SOME Of the

Il had occasion to telephone down
to the postofice department the other
day on business regarding the inter-

am interested, and which goes on the
bonds Of large class of the employer
In the postal service.
"This is, of course, strictly onicial
business, and there was nothing per-
sonar about it. One of the clients OF
the company in a western state wrote
us that there was some trouble with
his bond, and as we are the Washing
ton representatives it was our duty to
communicate with the department and
ascertain the facts. But when en-
deavored to get telephone connection
with the division where this business
is transacted, and I could have OBJ
tanned the necessary information no.
where else in the department, was
informed that it was against the rules
to make such connection. although
/ expressly stated the nature of my
business.
"In consequence had to leave my
office and make the trip to this division
on foot, and I wasted an hour where
five minutes time or less over the
telephone would have cleared the mat
ter up.
while I am aware that perhaps the
telephone service by clerks and Their
friends outside of the departments
has been abused, and because thereof
the general rule against these con
nections has been promulgated. fall

is certainly an unnecessary waste OF
time to require persons having busl

Troubles of Weather Bureau.

Willis l.. Moore, chief of the wealth
er bureau in Washington, said at a
banquet: I'm the past the weather
rorecaster would often be a good deal
embarrassed. He would start out on
picnic or an excursion. his wife in
her palest and most delicate gown, he
without an umbrella, and, though he
had prophes.ed in all the papers "a
hours of perfect weather, they would
beth, as like as not, come home
drenched. Embarrassment, truly.
Like the position of the cross-eyed
gentleman at the ball. This gen
tleman said, with a bow: May l
have the honor of this waltz?' And
three ladies', seated side by side, rose
simultaneously. With pleasure they

DEMAND FOR "oLD PRINTS"
Are Imported in Vast Quantities
Trick of Washington Dealer.

"Old prints are now very fashe
ionable decoration, and the real thing
is almost impossible to obtain. But
as demand invariably breeds supply,
the industry of manufacturing old
prints while you wait has taken its
place with the manufacture of other
sorts of antiques. This is an infant
industry, not properly protected in
this country, and the result is that
the manufacture flourishes abroad,
and the prints are imported in vast
quantities. They are very good pieces
of work, too, for those who like that
sort of decoration. though the draw
ing and the coloring are by no means
up to the standard of modern realism.
One of the curious happenings of
the custom house that brought out
some of the facts connected with this
industry occurred recently when one
of the dealers in Washington under
took to import a large collection of
"old" prints for sale. They were good
enough to have gotten by the Gus
toms collector as the real thing. The
paper was old in texture, and care
fully discolored, and the pictures
were as ungainly in drawing and un-
certain in coloring as the most exact
ing amateur critic could have desired.
The dealer, in order to impart a color
of realism to the proceeding, under
took to import them as genuine an
tiques. But he found, when it came
to settling the bill. that the tariff
would be several times as heavy were
they listed as genuine as it would be
on modern works. So he "'fessed
up" and not only admitted that the
"old" prints were thoroughly modern
but produced the documents to
prove it.
Whether he will be as frank with
his customers as he was with the GUS
toms will be matter for future de-
termination. But it is an interesting
revelation ito find that such clever
taking can be done in this line.

Even doing good to people is hard

No one knows this better than the
