"Is Jibway still staying out late ev-
cry night while his good wife sits uE
and waits for him?"
"NO." iN

in the lower grades there is a con-
tinuous turnover and very large
number OF temporary employees. This
condition puts a direct burden on the
whole organization. in that the time
of the seasoned employees Is cons
stantly consumed in instructing the
new temporary employees.
Further. under the present eco
monte conditions the Government or
ganization is becoming weakened, due
20 the fact that the entrance
pay in the Government service is
relatively lower than elsewhere. Con-
Sequently the Government secures
only those who are unable 10 meet
the competition where the entrance
pay is higher. This brings into the
Government service many who will
never Mt themselves for larger respon-
sibilnies. The result Is, at least in
this bureau, that there are a number
OF low-paid employees.
This condition has been brought
about by the very low entrance sal
aTy," says Secretary Alexander, land
the necessity of filling the positions
permanently by the appointment OF
those best fitted for the work, though
1t was known that they were not up
10 the standard that should be main
tanned. Experience has proven that
work is more efficiently and cheaply
done by a fewer number of relatively
well-qualified employees than by a
larger number of lower paid ineffici-
ent employees. Even the efficient en-
ployes who came into the service
before the war and who have proved
their worth are very much dissatis-
fled with present conditions"
Secretary Alexander declares that
outside the Government service sal
aries have steadily increased 10 meet
the increased cost of living, but with
in the Government service the statu-
tory salaries have remained about
the same, with the exception OF the
relatively inconsiderable bonus Of
S240 per annum.
"The administrative officer in the
Government service who is eZalous
that a high degree of efficiency shall
be maintained is constantly face to
face with the fact that the employees
under his supervision are not ade-
quately paid" says the report. land
he dare not force the issue by de-
handing results that the Government
should ordinarily expect, because TO

to ask the walters, what kind OF
meat is it you are serving?" And
the reply, given with a liberal dis
play of worries and malicious delight,
was always the same: Buffalo steak,
ma'am." Many of us became strict
vegetarians for a time.
Feared Sitting Bulls Warriors
1t was now that a rumor was set
afloat and rapidly gained credence to
the effect that our boat would as
sist in taking Sitting Bulls band of
Sioux from Fort Buford to Standing
Rock agency. At the mouth of the
Yellowstone we were Joined by a
government boat and were told that
we were to await the arrival of the
Helena, now on its way down from
Fort Benton, and together the three
boats would transport the entire
band to it's destination.
At Buford army officers came
aboard our boat and entreated their
brother officers, as they valued their
wives and children, to wait owe for
a later boat, as they considered it ex-
tremely dangerous to travel with the
Indians. This was not reassuring to
us, who were compelled to abide by
the fortunes of the Star of the West.
The officers were badly frightened
but at last decided not to desert us.
The next day the Indians began to
flock in from their reservation, and
the Helena steamed up to the land
ing. That night the Sioux held a
farewell feast and dance. Many dogs
passed on to the happy hunting
grounds to join their former or await
their present masters.
In the morning the embarkation
