Scotch Tailor a Garibaldi Veteran,
From the Westminster Gazette.

From the westminster Gazettc.
Alexander A. Walker of Edinburgh has
been notified by the Italian ambassador
in London that by order of his majesty
the King of Italy the minister of war has
granted him the right to wear the medal
for the war Of independence and unity
In acknowledgment of the services rem
dered by him in the cause Of Italy in
the ranks Of the British legion during the
campaign of 1860.
Walker was working as tailor I'm
Glasgow when Garibaldi came to the
front and he became enthusiastic and
volunteered. Sailing from London, he
landed at Palermo and took part In the
advance to Naples. He was at the bat
ties of Milazzo and Reggie and at the
siege OF Messina and entered Naples Sep
TENDER Z, 1850. Mr.. Walker served q

engagements was only once wounded
slightly.

ployes. The saying that there is always
room at the top Is true, but it is not al
ways the top alone where there are va
cancies for, in the opinion of some of the
men and women of Washington who are
Interested in the employment of girls, the
difficulty very often lies In securing the
necessary number to fill any position.
This situation, on its surface, appears
paradoxical. If there are always posi-
lions to be filled. why are there always
women seeking employment? In answer
to that query the superintendent of a
large department store here replied that
the explanation could be summed up in
the one word. ''inefficiency,' and in veri-
fication of that statement said that in his
store the number OF discharges which oc-
Cured annually averaged about twenty
five hundred.

Still another view was caught by a

destinations of dialect study.
''Today's standard of speech was cock
ney in Shakespeare's day." he says.
"Cockney pronunciation is really the alb
solutely natural development Of pronun-
citation. 1t is the pronunciation Of uncul-
tured people who do not care how they
form their words, and are, therefore, per-
fectiy natural.
There are certain worthy men, chiefly
edagogues, who retard the natural de-
velopment Of the language by imposing
their own pronunciation upon susceptible
people We should all be speaking cock

rf1achina tons of these idealists.

The main sources for Daniel Jones' re-

the evidence afforded by bad spelling and
good rhymes. and lastly phonetic laws
determined by the structure OF the or
ganS of speech.
Mr.. Jones believes that the time Is i'm
minent when American will be a dialect.
An instance of this widening divergence
is shown in the squabbles between the
English and American clubs for pleasant
spelling. The Americans want to drop
the "e" from fragile" "agile." etc, but
the English cling to the final letter be-
cause that class of words Is pronounced
by them to rhyme with .rile." 1t is in
teresting to think of the prospect Of not
only being American. but talking and
writing an American language for which
an Englishman would need access to a
dictionary.

to secure what they want, too often what
they need. And yet they are not willing
to do the hard work that clone means
progress. They want to succeed, but
without drudgery. l think this can

Two girls We're standing talking. Out
wardly they appeared equally capable.
Both were pretty and nicely dressed. The
only real difference was that one was
fresh looking, with her hair simply and
attractivcly arranged under her sensible
little business hat. The other looked tired
and worn, and her hair was deliberately
yet very noticeably hastily arranged.

That is position open to any girl who
has the ambition to work up to it. 1t
means responsibility, and naturally the
firm is going to give it to the woman who
has shown the most interest and care
In her work. Even the position as head
of department. while not affording trips
abroad, is nevertheless responsible one
and worth holding.
During a year there are about twenty
five hundred vacancies occur in our store.
That gives some idea of how rapidly they
are discharged. OF course, there are
girls who leave to be married, while
others go to accept an appointment
which they have received in the bureau
of engraving and printing or the govern
ment printing office or the like. Those
girls have just been working in depart
ment store to tide themselves over. and
If they have ambition enough to get
ahead like that while they are with us
they generally prove good clerks.
The various reasons why a girl is dis
charged can be covered by the one word
ineff1ciency. That word covers a broad
field, and we come in contact with 1t in
working for us have limited means, and
are, perhaps. very poor. Like all the
others, they want nice things to wear.
Working among them day after day as
they do the tempetation often becomes
too strong and the girl gets pretty
things to wear, but in way that neces-
states her discharge. One of the hardest
things in connection with that class is
that all the stores stand together to
certain extent. That is, they keep tab
on the girl who is not reliable. and that
girl will find that her reputation has gone
before her.
Speaking of working together with the
other stores brings to mind the Associ-
ated Charities. the Y. w. c. A. and the
other institutions We have no real con-
nection with any of them. but all things
being equal. a girl sent by one of those
institutions will be given the first chance
at position
The head of large business school
here, in speaking of securing positions
for the girls studying there. said:
There is no lack of positions, in fact
the demand is in advance of the supply.
l do not mean positions which pay three
or four dollars week. Those places are
overrun with applicants. 1t Is the places
which pay high salaries that are empty,
and 1t Is because girls fail to display the
required ability that they are not filled.
In the majority of offices the stenOgra-
pher is a woman; men want women and
yet they can't get good ones"
The principal of the school suggested
that one reason why girls do not get
along better lies. perhaps. in the fact
that, unlike the majority Of boys. they
are not brought up with that view in
mind.
