Helen Ware opened locked drawer
of her desk and took out package OF
photographs She carefully extracted
the six pictures from their separate
envelopes and stood them In q row
across the top of her desk and leaned
back with a sigh of contentment-
For the past seven days she had
gone through the same manoeuvre
Nor had she considered 1t necessary
to confide her little intrigue with the
pictures, to her flance. The privilege
OF gazing at the picture OF an IN
known man was surely not one to De

One week before. Helen had walked
to the suburban postoffice for her mall
She had been expecting her pictures
from the photographer in New YORK
so that the large envelope had not
SURPRISED her. 1t was when she was
walking through the sweet smelling
sanes on her way home that she had
opened the package. Then, not one
of the three poses for which she her
self had sat were there, instead. they
were six pictures Of man, the pno-

Helen reached forward and took her

six different poses and Helen had long

A Good Parry,

DR.. Charles F. Aked, discussing his

said:

Vaughan. He is one of those clergy

of the thousand-year Indulgence Is
told.

on a trolley car that runs from New
York to Flushing over the Queens

The car was crowded and he huns
onto a strap and started to talk to
his nearest strap-hanging neighbor
His conversation was interspersed
with a few jokes that we're consider
ed good when 10 Miller was a babe II

by telling them loudly and getting g
laugh or two. It encouraged him. anc
he continued:
Nov, Is q man stood in the middle

NEVER TOO OLD TO LEARN
People Who Never Change Their
Minds Have Magnified Opinion
Of Their Wisdom.

Il never change my mind" l once
heard an old woman say.
And from the way in which she said
it she seemed to be quite proud Of
her attitude.
The funny part of it Is that the peo-
pie who never change their minds
nearly always have magnified opin-
ion of their wisdom. They would be
very much upset If they realized that
others probably much better in
formed than themselves considered
them merely obstinate and foolish.
But they seldom. IL ever. see them
selves in this light, so they continue
to map out their lives In the same
narrow groove. until perhaps one day
they waken up, and, to their amaze
ment, find themselves left far behind
people whom they looked down upon
as ignorant.
"A wise man changes his mind;
fool never" says an old proverb, and
we should always keep this before US
as a mental danger signal.
"She simply won't be taught"
have often heard people say. Don't
let anybody say 1t Of you in future.
1t is the people who are always will
ing to learn who get on best in this
world.
If we keep our minds open as well
as our eyes and ears we shall find
that we are never too old to change
our minds. and that we can learn
something from everybody, even If It
. only what not to do.-Home Chat.

INVESTIGATING PosToFFlcEs.

Under the personal direction OF
Postmaster General Hitchcock, the
inspection service of the postoffice de-
partment is making a careful investi-
cation into the administrative eff
cheney of the large pOstoffices in the
country Ever since Mr.. Hitchcock
has been in Office he has tried to get
at certain facts that would enable him
to Judge of the comparative efficiency
of the service in the various important
postof1ces of the country To this
end he has called for reports from the
different postmasters, showing the dis
tances travelled by the different car
riers and the number of persons sery-
ed by each. He has obtained data
on the amount of mail handled in vari-
GUS parts of the same city and In
comparable sections of different cities
For some time number of men
have been at work compiling the sta
tistics contained in these reports and
deducting from them obvious conclu-
sions relative to the comparative eff
cheney of the administration of the
postofices in different cities.
Thus far, the department has sent
its inspectors only to those postoffic es
where bad conditions were evident on
the face Of the reports that have been
received. Just as soon as proceed
ings have been taken to stop the bust
ness Of some of the get-rich-uuick
companies a number of inspectors
now engaged in fraud investigations
will be detailed to different postof-
fees, the reports from which show a
low grade Of efficiency. Hitchcock's
success in reducing the postal deficit
while at the same time increasing the
service has encouraged him to make
further efforts in this direction. He
believes that instead Of looping on
appropriations for extension Of serv-
Ice and reducing the deficit In this
way the department should work ia
increase the efficiency Of the postal
service. Experience has shown that
whenever an attempt il made to cut
down the service the complaints and
Investigations that follow result In :
larger expenditure than would have
been made had the service been Coz
tinued and improved.

they were large, steady eyes that
Helen had liked as soon as she looked
Into them. She had intended each
day to send back the pictures and
each day had put 1t off, This pro-
'crastinaton was not entirely from
negligence but because day dreams
around the mans personality had sift-
ed into her daily thoughts and she
hated to think of her dreams without
the face to keep them alive.
Where were her own pictures? Hell
en- hoped with guilty feeling that he
had found them worth second
glance. There was no doubt that
their pictures had been merely ex-
changed on account of a mistaken
reading of the film number by the
photographers clerk. Eighty eight and
eighty-three were easily confused. But
why did he make no attempt to trace
his own pictures? Again Helen
blushed at her own thought: why
don't | trace my own"
"Oh-hellO, Geoff!" Helen started
about quickly. Her fance had come
In unannOunced. Without reason she
swept the pictures from her desk and
turned them face downward. She and
Geoff had been engaged more from a
family arrangement than from choice.

she retorted. His air of ownership
and the right to pry into her affairs
maddened Helen. Never before had
Geoffry displayed such temper. She
faced him squarely
"Geoffry. you may as well under
stand now as later. that l will never
tolerate either suspicion regarding my
actions or display of temper such as
you exhibited when you first came into
my presence"
The man was stung by her calm
ness as well as by his own jealousy.

angrily away, land l notice you are

Il am nothing Of the kind" Helen
flashed indignant eyes. Il admit I

pictures-I did that unthinkingly."

From Geoffry's tone Helen felt that
he doubted her veracity.

pLums FOR THE DEMOCRATS.

Democratic control of the house OF
representatives has cash value OF
more than 100000 year to members
of that party. That sum represents
the annual pay roll of the house. 1t
has been 16 years since Democrats In
the ranks with claims to preferment
have had a chance to get any OF this
money. The last legislative appropri-
alton bill carried an aggregate OF
s697 900, exclusive of the salaries OF
clerks to members, to pay the salaries
of the several hundred employees OF
the house. To this amount should be
added a sum in excess of $4,000
which went for extraordinary service
and special employees. ALI of this
with the exception of few thousand
dollars, represented in the pay of half
a dozen minority employees, went to
tn Republicans.
The Democrats are likely to make
a clean sweep. with the exception of
the six official stenographic reporters
of debates, and possibly the chap
laincy and one or two old committee
clerks. The reporters get $4,000 a
year, and the chaplain is paid $1,000.
The mail of all the newly elected
Democratic members and the old
members who were reelected. is filled
with applications for jobs on the
house pay roll If Champ Clark is
elected speaker he will have the ap-
pointment of private secretary at
$4,000, and a clerk at $500, another
clerk at $1,000 and messenger at
$1,000 annual salary.
The important posts to be filled by
election of the house are those of
clerk Of the house, the doorkeeper, the
sergant-at-arms and the postmaster.
These officers have the appointment
of practically all the subordinate en-
ployees, with the exception of the
clerks to committees, which places
are the personal patronage Of the re-
spective chairmen of committees.
There are more than 60 of these clerk
ships to be filled, and 1t is probable
that the only present clerk to retain
his position will be James C. Courts,
clerk to the committee on appropria-
lions, who has held his place under
various administrations of the house.
Ex-Representative Alexander Nc
Dowell now holds the choice berth of
clerk of the house, which pays $500
year. Frank B. Lyon of New York
is doorkeeper of the house.; Henry
Casson of Wisconsin Is sergeant-at-
arms: Joseph c. McElroy Is postmas-
ter; William ]. Browning of New York
is chief clerk, and Herman A. Phillips
of Illinois Is journal clerk. All of
these jobs pay between $500 and
$4,000 year. They are plums worth
picking, for on alternate years the
legislative year begins In December
and ends March 4.
Some members of the house set
great deal of store by these jobs, and
are always seeking, and eager to be
allowed to name men on the pay roll
Others find it a great nuisance, and
are happy to be able to tell their con-
stituents seeking easy work about the
capitol that they have no power to
help.
