CAUGHT SPIRIT OF occAsI.
coIored Porter Meant That Eagle
Should Shine In Celebration Of
American Victory.

1t happened after the news that the
allied forces were chasing the army
of the crown prince. There was great
rejoicing on the steps Of the custom
house building. Everybody was shak-
Ing the hand of everybody else. The
man who had never before been known
TO lose his dignity was pulling the hair
Of the office boy and whooping 1t up
generally.
All of which was at first rather In
comprehensive to the colored porter
of the building. He didn't know just
what 1t was all about. but 1t looked
good to him, nevertheless. Finally. no
seemed to "get" 1t. With the agility
of cat he climbed one of the ped
estals at the front of the building.
On the top is bronze globe, with O
spread eagle oyer II. Hanging pre-
carlously on the ledge, the negro pull
ed grimy cloth out of one pocket
and can Of paste out of another.
Then with a vim and vigor that had
never before characterized any of his
actions he began polishing away at the
eagles head. While he polished he
talked:
"Oh, lady, lady, we're goln' a make
you shinel oh, lady, that shine'll take
the eyes out dem Germans! Oh, lady,
that head o. your'n is goin' be some
bright!"
And the other ceiebrants stopped to
cheer him.-New York Times.

LAUNDRY WAGON TC RESCUE
lowIy Peace Equipage Instrumental In
Rendering Aid to Son Of Mars
In Misfortune. =

Arrored motorcar with half dozen
artlllerymen aboard whrIing along up
per Broadway. Crossing an intersect-
ing street, sharp gust of wind blows
Off the hat Of one of the artillerymen
and sends It spinning upward into the
air, as If 1t had been knocked of his
head by bit Of shrapnel.
A moment later, of course, II drops
TO the street pavement to be promptly
picked up by a passing citizen, who Is
naturally anxious to return 1t TO the
soldier But so swiftly was II moving
that the armored car got two blocks
awny before 1t halted.
The citizen, however, was quite
equal to the occasion. At this moment
there camo along over this crossing
and bound in the. same direction a
laundry delivery wagon and to the
driver Of this outfit the citizen In
trusted the hat.
"Surel" said the driver, and min
ute later-an odd juxtaposltion of
peace and war-laid the laundry wag-
on alongside the armored motorcsr and
handed the hat over to the artillery
man.--New York Tribune.

Sir Cecil Spring Rice. the retiring

Democratic diplomatists ever accred-

much like his predecessor, yiscount
James Bryce, and has no patience with
the new rich aud other artihclally gid
ed society. Although story telling is a
luxury FOR the oyerburdened diplomat,
a story he told some time ago is timely,
in that It is applicable to the war mil
llonaires, OF which every warning ma
ton seems to have o big quota.

On Visiting days. she bedecked herself
and her motor, and the round through
the streets was always a question Of
hours.
On one occasion, however, the foot
man being sick, she broke in the help
or, not having time TO secure another
footman. While on her way Mrs. New
rich discovered that she had left her
visiting cards at home. and thither
she hQstened, sending the new foot
man to fetch them, after which they
continued on their mission.
1t was quite dark when they reached
the residence Of foreign minister.

Whatever you do on the state ticket
do not fail to vote for the Republican
candidates for congress. In Vermont
there is probably no danger of elect
ing q Democrat to cogress, but one
can never be too certain II looks
now as though the war would end
sometime next year and the congress
elected this fall will be the one that
will have to deal with the great ques-
tons Of reorgahislng the affairs Of the
nation in relation to the world. With
the Democrats in power the Demo
cratic caucus is controlled by the
south: We have only TO remember
that when the war broke out tho
southern Democrats in control of con-
gress regulated the price Of wheat but
left cotton untouched so that the
south could get all there was of the
war raise. II anything further were
needed Just study the expenditure Of
money for cantopment and other pub
lie work, Just as far as possible it
goes to the south. It will be so as
long as congress remains Democratic.
The money is largely raised in the
north by taxation, but the big end OF
the expenditure is in the south There
never was a time when the country
needed a Republican congress so
seriously as this now,

Initial Step TO Independsne.,

The fact that well-tc-do people are
almost invariably "close" and Saving
and usually have that reputation,
should be a mighty good pointer for
those who are always hard up. 1t
isn't luck. it isn't robbery that starts
young people on the road to independ-
ence. 1t Is common sense and moral
courage TO deny themselves that does
the business.

STATE$URvEY0F
COMMON LABOR
Will Be Made By Federal En-
p|oyment Bureau During
Month.

The United States employment
bureau has announced it will make a
statewide survey of common labor
needs, at the same time it is ascer-
tanning the farm labor requirements
The bureau reached this conclusion
after conference with the state free
employment bureau. Both surveys are
to be completed by Aug. l.
Aug. 1 is the date on which indie
pendent common labor recruiting by
war industries is ordered to cease, and
the employment service therefore is
hurrying the completion of it's ma
chinery.
Labor requirements at all important
centers in the United States will be
ascertained by means of a question
naire, which asks for statement of
the concerns immediate needs, esti-
mated weekly requirements from July
Is through August, and estimated re-
quirements from Sept. 1 to Oct. 1. The
questionnaires seek to determine what
percentage Of the total of common
laborers in, each state in 1914 is now
engaged in, agriculture, tran
mining or other essential work. Diff
ferences in population, growth of war
business and other information are
also asked.
An estimate of the number of un-
skilled laborers not "engaged in war
work will be made through the state
directors of the employment service,
its public service reserve and other
agencies.

The commission has frequently

RAIL employees:
IMMUNE FROM
CARN|SHMENT
Salaries Of Such Workers Sc.
cure Because Latter Are
Federal Employees.

All railroad employees at the Head
of the Lakes will no longer have the
process of garnishment as menace
or a means for debt collection, for it
has been settled that a railroad en-
ploye's salary cannot be garnisheed.
In recent case at Topeka, Kans.,
A. l.. Horton, an insurance man,
brought garnishment against George
Pierson, chief clerk in the freight au-
ditor's department of the Santa Fe
road for S29.S4, claiming the amount
to be due on a note.
This case, before federal railroad
control, would have been triviality in
the days business of a great rail-
road and would have been handled
with perhaps bundle of similar
cases by some junior member of the
legal department. It brought into
court instead the leading attorneys Of
the Santa Fe and other prominent law
yers.
The federal law under which the
railroads now operate is clear and def
mite. It was established that a rail-
road employe now is D. federal en-
him for salary, as it lies in the treas
ury of the railroad company, is gov
eminent money. Until the check for
the amount of cash itself has been
placed in the hands of the employee
remains government money, and
there can be no intervention between
the payer and receiver of the money
prior to payment. Recourse of any,
one seeking to collect debt from an
employe must be through other chan
nels after the money has been paid
over.
Attorneys quoted from the law
which in several paragraphs makes it
clear that the railroad employees are to
be considered as federal government
employees. AS mail clerk or carrier
or other postoffice employe cannot be
garnisheed, or an army or navy Of
ficer, so all railroad employees now
are no longer subject to the garn-
ishment process.
