Retred7 Not So That Anybody Could Notice It

n INCTNNATI. O.-Not long ago an
~ aged man presented himself at the

and asked to have his semi-annual in.
terest entered in his passbook. Rec

duty asked: Are you still retired?"

was" replied the depositor smiling
grimly.
The little joke dates back year or
two to the day when the account was
opened. Accompanied by his wife on
that occasion, the aged farmer from
Ohio's onion belt rendered the teller
a roll Of banknotes counting up in the
thousands.
How old are your" asked the clerk,

Farmer, retired" repeated the
teller and began to write it so,
Retired nothing!" protested the
octogenarian. IF you call working
$50 acres of land being retired. then

The teller made suitable apologies.
AS 1t was to be a joint account. the
wife also was questioned as to her
age.

Wanted Senator to Look Up Prospective Wife

r HE other day Senator Knute Mel

OF a letter which contained the fol-
lowing clipping from a publication
called Cupid's Column. His surprise
grew as he read the clipping, which
was as follows:
"27S3 Washington, D, C.-I am a
young widow, twenty-five years Of age.

hair. gray eyes, very good form, good
disposition, French Methodist; have a

To the right of this touching mis-
sive was picture. also clipped from
a newspaper, Of a remarkably pretty
girl, wearing a low collar and an
elaborate picture hat
The senator, who is over seventy
years Of age and married, at once be-
gan to suspect that some widow had
her eyes on him. But taking another
look into the envelope he found the
following letter and a photograph Of
a young man The letter read:

London.-Up to date no cabinet min
lister in this country has threatened to
go on the lecture platform on the
ground that his official salary is in
adequate to his needs, although David
Lloyd George recently assured an in
vestigation committee that he was a
poor man on the $4,000 a year-or
over twice as much as is paid to any
member Of President Wilson's official
family-which he receives as chan
cellor Of the exchequer.
Ministers Of the crown are In re
ceipt of salaries and enjoy "perquis-
ties" which must make the mouths Of
American ministers water If they
know about them. One Of them draws
an actual stipend of $4,000, or as
much as the presidency Of the United
States was worth until few years
ago, while another gets $4,000 a year
and fees in addition, which more
often than not amount to more than
his official pay. Three others live

This Job Hunter Certainly Was a Good Guesser

A STORY which is going around the
n lobbies and cloakrooms at the
capitol in these days of scant patron
age had its origin at the national
capital with Secretary Redfeld of the
department of commerce.
1T happened at time when there
was keen rivalry for government po-
sitions," said Secretary Redfield,
that a young man named Allen de-
sired a place in the postofice depart
ment and applied to his congressman.
He was told he could get no place
until vacancy arose, He waited
for several weeks and one day, when
his money was nearly exhausted, he
went down to beach nearby. There
were many people bathing there and
among them was man whom Allen
recognized as clerk in the division
which he sought for a place.
This clerk ventured beyond his
depth and was drowned When the
body was brought ashore Allen hur-
ried up to his congressman and ex-
claimed:
81 can have that Job now! There

Then, all confidence, Trump chak

Because the firemen had the advan-

For days firemen and policemen

But, strangely enough, the police trap

The firemen laughed loudly and
long, but the police may laugh last,

Dr. Cary Grayson, his medical adviser,
is insistent that the president shall
take good care OF himself The pres

somewhat quizzically of Grayson's tyr

David Lloyd George.

and one of these latter, the first lord
of the admiralty, has at his disposal,
besides, a private yacht which costs
the British taxpayers something like
$4,000 a year to keep up.
If William ]. Bryan, for example,
instead of being secretary of state
for Uncle Sam, had Prime Minister
Asduith's job, he would be drawing
more than three times his present sal

an uncommonly comfortable as well
as historic official residence.
The premiership of England, it is
true, is an unpaid job, the only real

rather a striking coincidence, by the
