There was very little light in the
compartment into which Max had so
successfully dived. Some one had
turned down the wicks of the oil lamps
which hung suspended between the
luggage racks above, and the gloom
was notable rather than subdued. So
far as he was concerned he vas per-
fectly contented; his security was all
the greater. He pressed his face
against the window and peered out.
The lights of the city flashed by, and
finally grew few and far between, and
then came the blackness of the coun-

P. O. EMPLOYEES HARD
TC KEEP IN WEST

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. ID
First Assistant Postmaster General
Hitchcock has just returned from an
extended trip through the West,
which he took with view to as
pertaining at first hand the conditions
that prevail in the postal service of
the part of the country.
Difficulty has been experienced by
the Postoffice Department for con-
siderable time in retaining the SER
vices of efficient and experienced en-
ployes, especially clerks and carriers,
in many Western Offices
In many instances, living expenses
are two-fold higher than in the mid
die West and East Postoffice en-
ployes there cannot afford to work
for the salaries paid by the govern
ment.
"At Goldfeld, New, for instance,
said Mr. Hitchcock, 'the postmaster,
Edward r. Collins, has paid out in this
way more money than he has receiv-
ed in salary. He has done so in
the performance of what he believes
to be a patriotic duty. He said to me:
1 found this condition when l came
into the office, and now propose to
see it through
"That was a manifestation Of pure
American grit, but it is unfortunate
that such a situation should arise.
There is no way by which Postimas-
ter Collins can be reimbursed. unless
Congress should pass a special act
for his relief"
1t is Mr.. Hitchcock's purpose to
advocate the adoption by Congress of
an amendment to the graded salaries
law providing that, in exceptional in
stances, postmasters, on a proper
showing to the department, may be
allowed to pay salaries to clerks and
carriers as of higher grade than they
hold, in order that their services may
be retained.

Let Wall st. Help Itself
New Orleans States)

There is not the least doubt that
the country will heartily applaud
Senator Columns condemnation of
the paternalism displayed by the
President and Secretary Cortelyou in
rushing to the assistance of the Wall
street stock gamblers. The venerable
Illinois Senator quite bluntly de-
clares that Wall street should be
left to help itself out of the difficult
ties of its own making, and that the
time has come to call a halt on
the use of the public funds to assist
spectators who suddenly find them
selves in financial distress as re-
suit of their own reckless operations
1t is evident that in the opinion OF
the. country this sort of business has
been carried as far as it should go
hence it is safe to predict that there
will be no more of it, and in the future
the Wall street panic-breeders will
be required to get out as best they
can from the pits they dig for them
selves.

The New Reporter
Git Bits

The editor of a daily paper says;
1--WE took a new reporter on trial
yesterday. He went out to hunt for
items, and after being away all day
returned with the following, which
he said was the best he could do:
Yesterday we saw a sight which
froze our blood with horror A cab
man, driving down Clark street at a
rapid pace, was very near running
over a nurse and two children. There
would have been one of the most
heartrending catastrophies ever re-
corded had not the nurse, with Won
derful forethought, left the children
at home before she went out, and
providentially stepped into a chem
lists shop just before the cab passed,
Then, too, the cabman, just before
reaching the crossing, thought of
something he had forgotten, and
turning about, drove in the opposite
direction. Had it not been for this
wonderful concurrence of favoring
circumstances a doting father, a low
ing mother, and affectionate broth
ers and sisters would have been plum
ged into deepest woe and most unut-
terable funeral expenses.
"The new reporter will be retain
ed"
