The monk who acts as guide to the
many people that visit the old mis-
sion at Santa Barbara, Cal, is a pic
turesque and interesting figure. In
his brown robe Of heavy, coarse mate
rial, rosary hung at the cord belt,
and the cowl thrown back from his
closely cropped head, he is in strange
contrast to the fashionably dressed
visitors. He shows pardonable pride
in the mission and all its contents.
The curiosities which remain from the
time of Mexican rule in California, the
exquisite drawn-work altar cloths and
the mural decorations are pointed out
in manner approaching reverence.
Although he is occasionally inexact in
his descriptions, he is sincere, and
his naivete is so amusing that it
would be carping. small-souled critic

the report Of the employment depart
ment Of the London chamber of COM
merce dealing with the condition Of
the clerical labor market during the
closing quarter Of last year.
The manager Of an important Lon
don business, on being asked the other
night whether he could give any expla-
nation Of the declining popularity OF
lady clerks noted by the chamber Of
commerce stated that his experience
was that many lady clerks looked for
a great deal Of consideration. They
expected to be paid as men and to be
treated as women. They disliked be-
ing taken to task when they did their
work indifferently and were too fond
Of appealing to the chivalry Of the
mere male.
Another business manager thought
that the standard of attainments re-
quired had risen OF recent years and
many Of the lady clerks in the market
were not up to it. He said that be
found that women did routine work
well but showed little or no initiative,
and when set any task which was COM
plicated or which involved much
thought they were apt to fail. with :
few brilliant exceptions.

President Lured Into the Muldoon Test

confirm Mr.. Roots story, President
Roosevelt suggested, skeptically, that
he would like to try this stiff athletic
proposition OF Muldoon's.
Accordingly, Gen. Bell commanded
TIE expedition, which set out across
3he country. The horsemanship test
set for army officers is five miles at o
walk. five miles at a trot and fiye miles
at a gallop. The NuldOon test, entire
ly on foot, is eisht miles at walk and
seven on a trot
The going was aeavy, for the wealth
er was bad. Gen Bell went over the
course easily. President Roosevelt
went over the course, but not easily
The question as to what President
Roosevelt is to do after March 4. 1909,
has been partly answered as a result
Of this trial under the direction Of
Gen. Bell.
Before he hunts tigers in India, or
lions in the African jungle, or occupies
a house In London. the president will
undoubtedly go to Muldoon's until he
can walk eight miles and then run
seven on top Of that
He has no intention Of giving up on
a simple little thing like this. But
until he has Muldoon himself to teach
him how the president will avoid fol
lowing the treatment with Gen. Bell
OF course II would have been sinsub
