of the present town of Shelley was
that of Shelley & Bates Lumber Co.
Shelley had been considered the brains
of the partnership. Bates did all the
manual labor. The going was uphill
from the start. Both worked hard.
Finally their efforts showed results;
the camp grew into a small town.
One afternoon in early Spring Jim
Bates wandered into the lumber Office
where Shelley sat at his desk,
Say, Shel, about how much do you
reckon this business is worth?" asked
Jim.
oh, about a thousand or two.
Why?"
We'll, Shel, I knowed we was al
ways lucky together, but right from
the first my heart wasn't in this busi-
ness. Now that everything's pros
perrin, I reckon I'll pull up stakes"
Now, Jim, can't give you a cold
thousand. Every cent we have Is sunk
In the camp"
II know, Shel. Give me piece Of
land near the Office You can pay me
the rest when you're able. I've al
ways wanted to be druggist. Now,
I'm going to build drug store here.
It's a good spot, for this'll be tine
town some day"
GO THEY agreed. But one day Shell
~ ley sold the lumber yard and left
town without paying Bates. And Jim
couldn't prove that he had been
cheated.
Now Bill Shelley was returning from
Washington after 80 years The
whole town and band we're at his re-
ception. He was big man worth mil
lions, 1t was whispered. Some guessed
he was a broker. Others held to the
fumor that he was an official in a
shipping company. At any rate he
was a big man.
AS the train pulled into the be-
decked station, every loyal citizen Of
Shelley gave three cheers. All but
Jim Bates. He wasn't there. The
band played America" The chill
dren sang words that they had COM
posed in school. They squeaked out
phrases in honor of Shelley's greatest
citizen. The object of all this atten-
tion looked much the same after the
80 years, little more rotund possibly,
but otherwise quite unchanged.

this country.
Mr.. Thomas, who had the major
share OF the program. was in splendid
voice and his superlative interpretive
art was as convincing as ever. There
are not many singers before the public
today who allow their listeners full
enjoyment OF the music without the
distracting necessity of following, from
time to time, their mechanical ham
ding of an effect. But with Mr..
Thomas, the flow of his voice is 50
superbly controlled, his diction 30 clear
and effortless and the even timbre OF
tone 50 we'll and unobtrusively sus-
tanned throughout the range that all
one has to do Is to give oneself up to
the pleasure Of his singing.
Whatever Mr.. Thomas sings he pro-
vides an object lesson for both those
particularly interested in the vocal art
and those who enjoy everything artis-
tic. For the one he has a perfect de-
livery used with fine intelligence. and
for the other, the high point Of ar
tistry. which is a simplicity that masks
the manner Of achievement combined
with skillful touching up Of the high
lights so that the play of color be-
comes as emphatic in tone as in oils.
Sings Three Arias.
Mr.. Thomas sang three arias. the
"Eri tn" from Verdi's IN Ballo in
Maschera," the Vision Fugitive" from
Massenet's "Herodiade" and the "Brin-
disi" from Ambrose Thomas Hamlet"
and In these his voice gained greater
freedom and expression. The songs,
seldom programmed in recitals,
brought varied moods such as Widor's
Contemplation" Ravel's "Nicalette."
Sanderson's Green Pastures" Taylors
Darling" and Siemon's Ulysses"
Although lacking somewhat the un-
restrained delivery Of the arias, they
were replete with beautiful sentiment
not in any way overdone, and we'll
merited the warm demand for encores
from his listeners. This was Mr.
Thomas first appearance at Mrs.
Townsend's musicales although her in
terest in his work Is OF many years
standing.

Temporary, but fruitless hope, was

for Unemployment any dismissed

bill up for consideration" Ramspeck
promised. He said he doubted the pos
sibility of quickly obtaining special
rule to insure beyond doubt early
action and full discussion Of the
problem.
Ramspeck contended the marriage
clause has been very much misunder-
stood, many not knowing that the dis
missal applies only when there is a
reduction in force in a Government
ofice. The lower salaried workers have
felt its effects more than those in the
high-salaried groups, he admitted,
howe yer, because in most cases only
the lower-salaried groups have been
cut.
Former Senator Alfred Bingham, Re-
publican, of Connecticut, who intro
duced a concurrent resolution to repeal
section 2l3, said Of the clause on the
floor OF the Senate In June, 1882:
THAT is a most unprecedented
change in policy, which will cause a
great deal Of suffering entirely unnec-
essary and which will not save one
penny to the Federal Government"
Some husbands and wives tried to
solve the problem by maintaining sep
arate addresses in Interpretation of
the living with husband or wife"
phrase in the section.
However. this solution met with the
disfavor of the Civil Service Com
mission. On october 9, 1882, 1t ruled
that q husband and wife both in the
employ Of the Government could not
separate and both maintain their Jobs
when the separation is agreed upon for
no reason except to outwit the law.

charged that young couples in the
employ of Uncle Sam were leading lives
OF sin because section 2l3 kept them
from the altar.
"Babcock should be removed from
office for slandering the women en-
ployed in the Federal service" was
the comeback of Chairman John
Cochran, Democrat, of the House
Committee on Expenditures in the
executive departments. He added that
it was IAN insult to every man and

the women employed by the Govern
