CENSUS JOBS GO BEGGING.
Applicants Are Few for Civil Service
Examination.

Although trouble is being experienced
in the western states in finding men for
census work, at salaries from $6OO to
$500 per year, several applicants called
at the office of Leroy T. Powell, local
secretary Of the civil service commits
sion, and inquired with regard to the
work Most of them were young men
not regularly employed, as the man
who is working steadily at good wages
will not quit his position for one which
only lasts one year.
This is the first time that govern
begging" said Mr.. Powell, "and the
work is a kind that appeals to many
men, usually. but in this section there
are comparatively few inauiries.''
There is a likelihood that if this
trouble continues there will be manv
cases in which the western states viii
not receive their full quota OF ap-
pointees.

USED Her PARASOL.
Topeka Girl Belabored Man Who
Made Her Miss Train.

Kansas City, Mo-, Oct. s.-''Pll
teach you not to stand in front of an
other woman and prevent her from
catching her train-take that, and
that, and that" angrily exclaimed
| Miss Florence Dubois of Topeka as
parasol on the head of travelling
man on the platform at the Union
depot Thursday afternoon.
The man protested that he had not
interfered with her and backed away.
The crowd, which quickly gathered,
gave him protection until he could
get out of reach of the parasol.
Miss Dubois is Is years old and
pretty. She is also athletic. She is
a stenographer. She has deep blue
ewes. a handsome shock of light brown
hair and a clear complexion. She
was dressed in white and wore large
tan straw hat.
The victim of the blows travels out
of st. Louis and was on his way to
Joplin The blows crushed his hat and
slightly bruised his face.
Miss Dubois spent the summer in
Minneapolis and recently visited sew
eral weeks in st. Joseph. Mo. She
started for home, expecting to catch
the Topeka express on the Santa Fe.
Her train was due at 4 O'Clock, while
the Santa Fe departs at 4;30. The
Burlington was half an hour late, and
with her grip in one hand and the
made a run for her train. To reach
the Santa Fe tracks she had to cross
q track on which the man was stand
ing. To some of the red caps at the
depot who witnessed the scene he ap-
parently tried to get out of Miss Du-
Boiss way. Instead he turned the
way she did and then back again,
both lodging three times and finally
colliding.
Miss Dubois dropped her suit case
in the collision. but picking it up, ran
after her train, which by this time
had started. 1t was running fast and
when she found that she had been left,
Miss Dubois came back to where the
man was standing.
She raised the umbrella and before
he could dodge, she delivered several
blows on his head and face. Some of
the spectators yelled encouragement.
Half an hour later, Miss Dubois
laughingly told of her encounter.
81 suppose those men out there
think am something just awful for
using my paraso1 on him, but don't
care what they think. I wanted to
catch that train, and all he can say
that he did not try to block me will
never make me believe that he didn't"
Miss Dubois had her ticket changed
to the Union Pacific and left at 5
o'clock.

But / must objected Mr.. Hartman. Il simply
must"
We'll, what is it?" demanded the physician impa-
tiently, that must carry you out of your house in
this weather in your state?"
Il have to go down to Arden (his summer home)
l promised the people there faithfully that I would
help them celebrate Christmas"
And he went.
A Committee of prominent citizens OF Atlanta
called one day to pay their respects to a distinguished
northerner who was visiting their city. They were
asked TO wait a little. as the person they sought was
at the moment engaged and could not be disturbed.
On the floor of an inner room sprawled a little man
with big glasses and a bushy mustache. He looked
anything but distinguished. Crawling over him, pull
ing his scant hair, searching mis- pockets and playing
with his watch was p baby, while the little man
chuckled with unfeigned pleasure.
Don't 60" cried the child. noting an alarming
passed. 'stay'n play some more"
Il wish l could, Katrina, - was the response, but
I must go to work now. Give me a kiss"
The kiss was exchanged and E. H. Hartman went
to greet his callers.
Another incident which shows the human and So
cial side of MIR. Hartman is connected with his life in
Rhinebeck, Duchess county, n. Y, where he made the
acquaintance of several men whom he never forgot.
Among these was Webster r. Clearwater, who is still
living in the village. Clearwater was employed by
James Livingston, with whom Mr.. Hartman was a
partner in a brokerage business, which went under in
the panic of 1863, aud in that way came to know Mr..
Hartman we'll. One day, a few years ago, when Mr..
Hartman was at the busiest part Of his life, his old
friend in RhinebecA went to Mr.. Harriman's ONCE in

den. The directors had no idea of its possibilities.
Hartman had. They wanted to run it in the way the
road had always been run with a little economy here
and there, perhaps, to pay dividends. Hartman had
other notions.
This complained one of the opponents of Har-
riman's policy, lis an old, broken-down railroad. It
will cost a billion to carry out your ideas"
Perhaps" replied Hartman, but l figure it
closer than that. At any rate. It will be worth the
money. We haven't bought a railroad here. We
have bought an empire"
In 1898, with the Spanish war coming on, Harri-
man was all for going ahead with the contemplated
improvements of the road. The directors held back.
They feared the outcome of the struggle over Cuba.
we have here" said Hartman, the vital fran
chise to a railroad 1900 miles long, running through
the heart of the richest part of the country. Popu-
lism is dead and dollar wheat is paying mortgages and
piling up bank accounts. Now is the time to build;
now is the time to buy. This road offers us an op-
portunity that comes to men but once in centuries"
The directors still demurred and Hartman vlrtu-
ally bought the equipment over their heads.
Mr.. Hartman made a trip over the Union Pacific,
of which he had recently com into control. Things
were in a pretty thoroughly rundown condition and
one delay after another tried the temper Of the i'm
patient new master of the line.
What makes this delay?" he demanded during
one particular stop.
Engine taking water. sir" replied the division
superintendent.
why not make the feed pipe bigger" snapped
Hartman.
Cant be done. sir" was the reply. Engine
wouldn't take any larger feed pipe
Then Wen get some bigger engines" Hartman
