WHEN MEN WORE MuFFS.


In the good old days about which SO
many men so dreamily read and pro
fess to reverence and when men We're
believed TO be more bold and dashing
and daring than they are now, the muff
was the thing of winter wear for men.
1t was regular part of a gentlemans
cold weather toilet.
Among Horace Walpole's Christmas
gifts to his friend George Montagu, in
1916, were Anecdotes of Painting"
pamphlet ON "Libels," the Castle of
Otranto" and a muff. That was the
period of the muff for men. 1t had
been an article Of mems apparel for
many years before, and men retained
the muff for long years afterward, 1t
being cast off when men forswore col
Ored silks ana satins, rare laces and
jeweled shoe buckles
1t was not SO far back in American
history that men wore silk stockings
not merely silk socks--and knee gar
tiers and fancy garter buckles, and
many men walking the streets Of
Washington today remember when
their sex wore brilliant plaid Shawls
and when the cloth cape, called a
"talma," was the height of masculine
fashion. Now and then one sees Il
gentleman of the old school walking
along with a gold headed cane and
wearing a somewhat motheaten, frayed
or shiny "talma. Washington Star

AN ICEBERG AT SEA.
One of the Most Awe Inspiring Spec
tacles In Nature.

t3CleS In Nature.
There is nothing in nature 50 impos
ing and awe inspiring as the iceberg,
writes Lacey Amy III the Wide World
Magazine. 1t gives an overpOwering
sense of relentless force, of dignity and
of brilliance.
Beneath the suns vivid rays OF the
dark clouds Of threatening storm, in
the moons cold beams or dimly
through the shadows of moonless
night, in calm and tempest-every one
Of them, from the tiny 'growler" to
the huge mass of spurs, rOuses at first
glimpse an awe undiminished by a
growing appreciation Of its beauty.
Always before one Is the thought
that but an eighth of the iceberg's
bulk shows above the water, the re-
mainder stretching down and down
into the blue-green depths and out and
out until captains breathe freely only
when the horizon is clear of them.
Far out in the ocean, with the largest
steamers passing swiftly miles inside,
they ground upon the bottom in ire
mendous depths and calmly await the
relieving touch of sun and current.
In the widest seas and strongest
gales these frigid mountains float un-
disturbed. There could be no seasick-
ness on an iceberg, for its foundations
are fathoms below the wave disturb
ance.

OUR NEW COLLECTOR

T CAN easily be granted that Roscoe Drumheller,
of Walla Walla, appointed Monday as collector
of customs for the Port of Seattle, will be as equal
TO his duties as any of the other politicians who
were aspirantS for the place.
II is no reflection on Drumheer, the indvid-
ual, TO say he should not have been appointed. II
is a reflection solely on the method of appoint
ments that now prevails.
Merit does not have the consideration IL should
have, and political pull, influence and cunning are
now the controlling forces which make for APP
pointments in many important offices.
The same Is true in the postoffice as in the
customs department, in the internal revenue de-
partment, in the land office, etc
The federal government maintains civil SER
vice system except for the heads Of the department.
To get job as mail clerk one must pass an ex-
animation, and promotions then follow with con-
tnued service. But promotion TO the office of
postmaster or collector OF customs never comes.
Al this point politics enters.
The man who has been in the postoffice
work for IS years or more can't hope to be pro-
NOTED to postmaster unless he has political nflu-
ence. The same is true in other offices.
There are men in the customs department in
Seattle and in other port cities OF this state who
know more about the customs service in one min
ute than Drumheller knows in year.
But when the appointment was made, 10 and
behold the plum fell to man who has lived in an
inland city all his life, and never saw boat except
when he was on a holiday excursion somewhere
