We don't call a shoe a "real dress shoe" unless both its outer appearance and its inner worth come up to certain high standards. Before we sell a shoe as such, it must carry with it individuality and distinction which will set it apart and make the woman who wears it know that her footwear is not lacking in the slightest detail. nt Must Be An Up-to-Daf e Shoe Before we sell a shoe as a "real quality shoe," we must know that its leathers have been so well selected, Its workmanship has been careful that it will retain its shape, its style, its first appearance through long service. If Must Contain Real Merit The Patent Colt Button Shoe with Cloth or Mat Kid Top. The Turned Sole, Plain Toe, Cloth Top, Patent Shoe.

(By Mrs. John A. Logan.) Washington, Nov. 13. One is at a loss to understand why there are so many applicants for examination for appointment in the civil service at every examination which is held, either in Washington or elsewhere. The list grows longer, and those who pass are more numerous, no matter for what class the examination is held. In these numbers there are both men and women graduates of high schools and colleges, of all ages admissible under the rules. It is claimed that women are in the majority of those whose scores are the highest. Stenography and typewriting being universally used, there is a greater demand for operators and stenographers than for ordinary clerks. Expert scribes are very few, the departments experiencing great trouble in securing penmen who can enroll and engross commissions and other documents that must be engrossed with a pen. Is Very Confining. There is no occupation more confining than that of being employed by the government and sitting all day long in the vitiated air of the departments. The routine and monotony of the very best work in the departments is of such a character as to destroy all individuality and one becomes, in one sense of the word, a perfect machine, as there is rarely any work that requires any thought whatever, and all is performed absolutely mechanically. I have watched the careers of very many young men and women who have come to Washington and secur

ed employment in one or the other of the departments, and there is scarcely an exception to the -rule they become spiritless, lacking in ambition, and reach a point when there seems nothing for them to do but to resign themselves to a life of monotony and confinement.

Mr. McHarg. in a recent interview,

has not over-drawn the picture and

he strongly advises against seeking employment in the departments of the government, especially for men.

Once on the pay-roll, they seem to

lose all courage and to be willing to accept their monthly salary, forgetting that they are growing older and older in the service, and finally will be unable to tear themselves away from a certainty and obtain a private business or employment outside. They seem to think they never reach a

point when they can give up a cer

tainty for an uncertainty.

There Many Years. There are men in the departments today who have been there from twenty-five to forty-five years, who are nothing more or less than automatons and it is pitiful to see them going their weary rounds year in and year out without any change in their lives, accomplishing nothing more than their daily tasks at their desks in the departments. They have no inspiration and little interest in anything outside of the four-walls of the department in which they- are earning their daily bread. They never seem to realize that the older they grow the less capable they are for higher and more important positions. If among them there appears a bright, . active, ambitious person, he can depend upon it that he is in the minority, and that the majority will be conspiring against him to prevent him from making the progress that perhaps he would accomplish if he were out in the world in competition with rivals, and obliged to exercise his mentality and energies to succeed. There are, of course, instances in the departments that are very pathetic Many have been employed that would not have been able to earn a competency elsewhere. Mrs. Gridley Recalled. One recalls with tender sympathy the life and character of Mrs. Gridley, the mother of Captain Gridley, who died recently at the advanced age of Eighty-four years. She was a charming woman, and in her prime was really a very remarkable person. She filled a position in one of the

departments for many years, having

been appointed to a clerkship through the Influence of Zacharlah Chandler during the Civil war. She was a widow and was. through this appointment, enabled to educate her sonsr Captain Gridley having been prepared for Annapolis through his mother's management and devotion. Her other son was well educated, but Is now In one of the departments In Washington. She was never awarded a pension, notwithstanding she had not regular support, because her son Captain Gridley, had married and the pension was given to his widow. His poor oli mother got nothing but her regular salary, which she earned to within a Yery short time orior to her death.

obtained employment outside, she would doubtless have proven that she was a woman of rare ability. The departments have been a great benefaction to maimed soldiers, their widows and daughters. And yet it

seems unfortunate that the necessities of life have been such as to dwarf the careers of many of these bright, young

people, who are daily following in the footsteps of the predecessors, with

little hope beyond the daily demands of their uneventful lives.

NO ENGINES ARE IDLE

Local Pennsylvania railroad men report that the western division of tb Pennsylvania is short on motive power and every serviceable engine has been pressed into service. It is thought that this state of affairs will exist until the traffic from the lake and mines has fallen off. The heavy

transporting of crops also has been a factor in making a shortage in cars and motor power.
