And it's worth while seeking him half

If you find him before the other
Nine hundred and ninety-nine depend
On what the world sees in you,
But the Thousandth Man will stand

With the whole round world against

Will settle the finding for zee,
Nine hundred and ninety-nine of IN go
By the looks of your acts or your
glory.
Q But if he finds you.and you find him
The rest of the world don't matter;
For the Thousandth Man will sink or
swim
With you in any water.
You can use his purse with no more
talk
That he uses yours for his spendings;
AS though there had been no lend
ings.
Nine hundred and ninety-nine of EN-
call
For silver and gold in their deal
ings; ...
But the Thousandth Man, he's worth
'em all
Because you can show him your
feelings.
His wrongs your wrongs, his rights
your right,
In season or out of season.
Stand up and back it in all mems
sight
g., With that for your only reason!
Nine hundred and ninety-nine can't

The shame or mockery or laughter,
But the Thousandth Man will stand

To the gallows-foot-an after.

JOB SEEKERS IN
LINE ALL NIGHT
Five Thousand Applicants for Civil
Service Positions Fight for
Places in Front.

Five thousand applicants for positions
under the Civll Service Commission as
unskilled laborers, thronged the street
in front Of the commission building yes
terday, and fought for the application
blanks distributed by the ofiicials. The
line Of applicants preached from the
building. which is located In F Street
between Seventeenth and Eighteenth
Streets, to Potomac Park. and only the
FIRST LOO In line received the covered
papers
The Job seekers commenced to arrive
on the scene as early as 9 O'Clock Tues
day night, and OF the first nfty In line
at least thirty-five were women. The
stream Of humanity continued % now
uninterrupted until 8 o'clock, one hour
before the doors opened.
The first ten 10 arrive on the scene
formed a sort Of family circle and passed
the long hours Of waiting with story
telling and singing. They were: Charles
NJ Danners Of Brentwood. d. C.; John
Green Of 1874 Gallery Street: B. A. Boss.
of ms z Street Southwest; Minnie But
Ter, Of sl61i Twenty-fourth Street North
west; w. H. Thomas, OF Biadensville.
Nd; Hager White, OF 2oss Eighth Street
Northwest; H. Lansdowne, Of 50 II
Street Northwest; Emma High, OF 40
219 F Street Northwest. and Margaret
Brown. OF Z2s v Street Northwest.
Many. Brought Lunch.
Danner and .reen arrived at the build
ing at 8 o'clock Tuesday night. Most Of
those at the head Of the line arrived on
the scene equipped with folding chairs;
and several had foresight enough to car
~ lunch. The lunches were passed around
and an air OF good-fellowship obtained
throughout the night.
This good-fellowship prevailed, however,
only near the head Of the line, where
the eagle eve OF a giant policeman was
focused. At other points ''squatters"
were continually trying 10 usurp places
occupied by others. and several fist nights
and hair pulling matches resulted.
Promptly at O'Clock attaches Of the
Civil Service Commission came out Of the
building, and the work of distributing
the blanks begun. Efforts Of those In
the rear end OF the long file TO steal a
march on those more fortunate were
stopped by the police.
Employees Signed Blanks.
The applicants whose signed blanks
were received frst had the direct ad-
vantage over those who delayed 1t was
essential that aH applicants give the
names of their last employers and this
difnculty was surmounted with an inge-
nious scheme.
The delay caused by going to the en-
ployers would cause a great loss of time,
so why not the employers come to them?
At o'clock F Street, in the vicinity
Of the commission building was lined with
automobiles occupied by business men,
there to sign their names as vouchers
for the various applicants. As each ap-
pIicant received the blank. he or she
rushed TO a waiting automobile, the oc-
cupant Of which drew a fountain pen
and signed.
