CIVIL SERVICE SOLICITS
COLLEGES FOR D. c. JOBS
Graduates Told in Letter OF Op-
portunities to Study While
Working for Uncle Sam.

In an effort to induce college gradu-
ates to come here and work. for the
government. the Civil Service Com
mission is advertising throughout the
land the fact that Washington offers
unusual facilities for university study.
In news letter sent "A few days
ago to 400 colleges in the states. the
commission reminds young men who
VIII graduate this spring that if they
come to Washington and work for
Uncle Sam they will find several uni
versities here at which they can take
courses at hours that do not conflict
WITH the government service.
The following is a paragraph from
the news letter sent to the college
men:
Those who enter upon duty in the
government offices at Washington, d,
e., may fnd ample opportunity for
continuing their studies if they wish
20 do so. The several universities in
Washington offer many valuable
courses at hours which make 1t prac-
ticable to pursue them outside the
government office hours. One univer-
sity offers all of it's regular college
courses except those in medicine and
dentistry at hours conveniently ar
ranged for the government worker
Four universities give law courses
one gives special post graduate te
courses in diplomacy and citizenship
leading to masters and doctors de-
grees at hours arranged so as not
to conflict with the work hours OF
government employees"
An official of the commission stated
last night that there still is short
age of stenographers and typists in
the government service. He made
it clear that this does not mean the
departments are expanding. but tina,
the steady turnover or departure OF
employees keeps the commission busy
finding new applicants.
To recruit stenographers and typ
lists Herbert +. Morgan of the com.
mission lew days ago sent tele-
grams to Ill cities, asking the com
mission representatives there to seek
this class of workers for the govern
ment service in Washington.

Princess Twilight Bell was singing,
and so was Fairy Princess Joy. Ey-

came trooping along.
''Im going to have new kind Of
dance" said the Fairy Queen.
"A new kind of dancer everyone
shouted.
"Yes," said the Fairy queen. "And
everyone take their partners now for
the dance"
So everyone took their partners, and
then the Fairy Queen told them all
how the dance was to continue. She
wore little whistle around her neck,
and every time she blew the whistle
the music would stop, and they would
all stop, and she would shrek out the
directions for what was to come next.
THE dance is called the Paul Jones
Dance" she said, "and they dance 1t
in the world of grown-ups, and yet 1t
would be just as much fun for fairies,
too.
'NOw the music commenced Every
one has partner7 Yes. that is

So the music played gaily. and ev-
eryone danced with their partners.
Then the whistle blew, and the Fairy
Queen shouted: "All do the grand
chain now"
So all did the grand chain, walking
about the room I'D a great circle. while
all met each other and smiled as they
did this part of the dance.
Then the whistle blew, and the Fairy
Queen told them all to take the part
ner nearest them. Well, old Mr.. Giant
was next to little Efie Elf, and as 1t
would have been so hard for tall Mr..
Giant to dance with little Effie he
swung her up On his shoulder and
danced about with her in this way.
Again the whistle blew, and the
Fairy Queen called out Ladies In

The brownies and gnomes danced
about them, and then they entwined

The whistle blew again, and the
Fairy Queen told everyone to Join
hands, so that they followed her all
about the Woodland Glen. Again they
went back, all wound up In a tight
circle now, which the Fairy Queen un-
wound by going under the arms OF
some and starting out for an open
space in the woods. Once more she
blew her whistle, and said: "All la

all got there and as the Brownies and
Gnomes got at the other end, the Fairy
Queen said: snow a great rush for

One night he and his wife were re-

About this time he undertook the an
d0cious and weil-planned exploit which
saved the cannon of Capt. Adlon Pad
docks company in the Ancient and
Honorables from the British. Some of
the mechanics OF the company were de.
termined to prevent the surrender OF
their two small field pieces TO General
Gage. William Dawes was their
leader.
The men forced their way into the
guard house and carried the cannon
or to the free school on what il now
Mason street. where they were hidden
for a fortnight in q wood box under
the masters feet.
Soon after the affair OF the cannon
came the memorable ride and the siege
OF Boston began. Dawes at once Joined
the Continental troops at Cambridge
and. It is said, fought at Bunker Hill.
When Boston had become unsafe he
moved his family to Worcester and
when the siege ended he was appointed
ccmmIssary at Worcester by congress.
While In Worcester he went into part

After having married a second time

stay there was short, however. for he
died February rs. 1899. He was
