height of the season is on they lend
an atmosphere of hustling prosperity
to tho town, but when the warm
months come around they leave town
with filled purses and spend their
bulky sum at the seashore and noun
tain resorts. The busy clerks stick TO
their posts in all kinds Of weather
and ell through the year and when the
gloom settles down after the big guns
are gone the government clerk is the
only hope Of the merchant and the
amusement managers It may seem
strange. but when closely figured out
the humble government clerk is the
mainstay of our capital city.
During the long months when the
coEcressmen and senators are enjoy
ing the luXuries of vacation the clerk
must sweat for his daily bread. Those
humid summer months OF Washington
are hard on a mans nerves and dis
position and hence the physician and
lawyer are kept from the door Of pow
crty. Food, dress and amusement
must be had ard this necessity pro
yiGes for the we'll being of Still an
other class In this way the 10000
clerks keep things moving during the
dead season. If the clerks were TO
follow the example of tho legislators
and 90 to summer resorts to rest up
for two or three months the capital
city would take on the appearance or
a deserted village. the merchants
would be compelled TO close up shop
and grass would begin to appear be
tween the cracks of the sidewalk.

EYES WOULD BURN AND STING

1T Is Just year ago that my SIS
ter came over here to us. She had
been here only a few weeks when her
eyes began to De red and to burn and
sting as II she had sand in them.
Then we used all Of the home RENE
dies. She washed her eyes with salt
water, used hot tea. to battle them
with, and bandaged them over night
with tea leaves, but all to no purpose.
She went to the drug store and got
some salve, but she grew constantly
worse. She was scarcely able to look
in the light. At last she decided to
go to a doctor, because she could
hardly work any more. The doctor
said it was very severe disease, and
If she did not follow his orders close
ly she might lose her eyesight. He
made her eyes burn and applied cleo
tricity to them, and gave her various
ointments. In the two and half or
three months that she went to the
doctor, we could see very little i'm
provement.
Then we had read SO much how
people had been helped by Cuticura
that we thought We would try 1t. and
we cannot be thankful enough that we
used it. My sister used the Cutlcura
Pills for purifying the blood, bathed
only with Cuticura Soap, and at night
after washing, she anolnted her eyes
very gently on the outside with the
Cuticura Ointment. In one week, the
swelling was entirely gone from the
eyes, and after a month there was no
longer any mucus or watering of the
eyes. She could already see better.
and in six weeks she was cured"

NO GROUND FOR DIVORCE
Absence Of pic and Cake in Househc'd

Separation.

home t3r four long months a cause for
divorce? And is 40 cents a day toe
much to spend for groceries for fam
lily of two?
These intricate problems OF domes
tic science were put squarely up to
Judge O. A. Lucas of the circuit court
in the divorce suit which Alexander
HerbaCh had brought against Cattle
dine Herbach Judge Lucas, however,
was not disposed to rule hastily on the
pie question, and was inclined to say
that the enjoyment of pie largely is a
matter Of digestion. He refused tho
divorce after the wife, In testifyins,
had made the pie assertions.
It was mail order" romance, this
of the Herbachs, and the court refused
TO exchange unsatisfactory goods. Mrs.
HerbaCh that was to be and still is,
was living on a farm in Iowa, She
grew weary Of the single life, and adj
vertised for a partner. The ad which
asked for a loving, gentle kind and
generally housebroken husband,
caught the eye Of Herbach who ran a
hotel near Twelfth street and Broad
way. He answered. There was letter
after letter. Both professed-in their
letters-to have something of this
worlds goods
An so they were married. At this
point. where romanCes usually end,
this one only fairly starts.
This is what Mrs Herbach had to
say on the witness stand about their
married life:
Even on my wedding day, Mr.. Her
bach would not go to breakfast with
me He didn't even give me carfare to
get home He said:
Now go homo and tend to the
business.
with that he left me standing on
the street And on the second day aft
er we were married he made a fuss
because ! spent 40 cents In the grocery
for things we had to have to eat If
the bill was over 25 cents a day he
was mad, and would criticize me.
Why, Judge, there was not one
piece of pie or cake in that house from
the time we We're married until he put
me out four months afterWard. |

Shocked in Closing Session

the Senate adjourned the Legislative

covered therefrom 1T was for both
the legislative and calendar day OF
March 4.
AS soon as 1t became noised about
that a custom had been violated, sena-
tors began a hasty examination of
precedents. Senator Gallinger was in
the chair. He referred the question
to Henry r. Gilfry, the senate parlia-
mentarian. After long search it was
discovered that while the senate never
had a legislative day of March 4 for
the purpose of winding up a session OF
congress. there was no reason. except
custom, for that fact.
For the first time. therefore, leaders
of the senate learned that the calendar
dag is superior to the legislative day

TO wcrkmen engaged in mining.
The forms of old age insurance now
in operation in the European countries
are classified by the commissioner OF
labor as voluntary insurance not SUP
sidized by the government, voluntary
insurance receiving government subsi-
dies, compulsory insurance, and non
contrbutory insurance. The invest'
cation revealed that in a number OF
European countries funds are found
which provide old age pensions for EN-
ployees on the basis of contributions
from both employers and workmen.
Usually the employer requires the
workman to join the fund, so that as
far as the employee is concerned the
system may be regarded as compul-
sorry.

Barmaids in South Australia.

South Australia is suffering from a
barmaid famine. Two years ago bar
maids were abolished in that state by
act OF parliament. No more could be
legally engaged. but those already en-
ployed could remain on condition that
they registered themselves.
There are now only 400 Of them left,
and the competition for their serv,
ices is such that their wages have
jumped from % shillings to e3 a
week. The hotels that have had to
employ barmen report considerable
change for the worse in their receipts.
