sentences Of inordinate length than

years ago counted the words in mum.
Der of typical sentences. finding that in
the earlier books it was no uncommon
thing for Ruskin to run beyond the
page before permitting himself and his
readers the relief Of full stop. but in
every case the sense is as clear as day
Wordsworth's poem on the "Charac

ample of sustained connections Apart
from the opening and closing couplets
the poem consists Of two very long
compound sentences almost entirely
comprised Of adjectival clanses The

fifty-seven decasyllabic lines. This is

PUBLISH PICTURE
OF G. F. SAWYER
Register and Leader Carried Gut Of
Boss Of Houses StenosraPh-
ers az He 10 Called.

Under caption Boss of the Houses
Stenos, the Register and Leader
Yesterday published a cut of Charles
F. Sawyer of this city, representative
from Lee county in the legislature.
The following lines are printed under
the picture:
Here's the car of little kingdom
Inhabited by forty good-looking and
accomplished young women. And
he's rather exacting and despouc
czar. He selected his subjects by
giving them an examination as TO
their ability at writing shorthand and
running a typewriter, not as to good
looks and personal attractions. Il
they don't keep UP to the standard,
they get fired out of the kingdom.
The car is Charles F. Sawyer Of
Keokuk. the Lee county representa-
tive. He is chairman of the house
committee which chooses and super
vises the work of stenographers.
Mr.. Sawyer's business at home is
that Of training stenographers. When
he was put on the committee to se-
lect the house clerks he inaugurated
a real merit system. Every applicant
was required to take a rigid examina-
ton and prove her fitness for the
WoIh. Inc result was tQdt d IOI OI
applicants of winning ways and influ-
entail friends who would have gotten
jobs easily In the good old days" OF
political preferment went home in
fearful disappointment because they
had not been able to show the desired
ability. And the ones who did pass
the examination have discovered that
their positions depend upon their Civ
ing real service.
Sawyer's position is one which was
formerly coveted by bachelor mem
bers of the house as a means of OBJ
tanning the liking of the "stenos"
Being married man, he scorned the
opportunity to be smiled upon by
many maids and made them know
that brains and skill were the only
things that counted with him. The
result has been that he is almost as
much feared by these forty feminine
subjects as the car of all the Rus
slams is feared by his people. Openly
the committee clerks declare violent
and unyielding hatred and disdain of
their ruler, but secretly admire him
for his determination and fairness.
