The Same Custom.

A magazine editor at the Authors
club, in New York, was talking about
II. G. Wells. wells is now the fore
most English novelist" he said.
Strange that a man so talented should
misjudge us as he does. When he
was oyer here he found fault with
everything. One day at lunch, getting
tired Of his attacks on the tyranny Of
our trusts and our bosses, I said:
"Well, at least, Mr.. Wells, you must
admit the grandeur Of the magnificent
statue of Liberty that rears its proud
head over our harbor?'
"'Oh, yes said Mr.. Wells, you
have the same custom as we-you rear
your finest statues to the dead"

Special Examination Is Call
ed fer July rs

There will be a special examina-
ton for clerks and letter carriers in
this city on July %, and successful
candidates may expect immediate
employment, according to the letter
received today by P. E Coutts, local
secretary of the Civil Service bureau,
under which the examinations are
held. The letter is from Stewart
Wilson, acting division secretary, of
Philadelphia, Pa. The annual ex-
animation will be in November,
