rGOOD| * UNCLE JIM g By DONALD ALLEN S 3 Uncle Jim Parsloe was driving along the state road towards Middleton. His horse was old, and he was not hurrying him. The wagon was old, and he was giving it a fair show. He was pretty old himself, and if he got to Middleton before dark it was time enough. Uncle Jim was descending the hill beyond Culver's when he saw a girl on a bicycle approaching him. As she within a few rods the front wheel struck a stone and she went oft sideways and down into the roadside ditch and lay there. She had fallen hard, and though no bones were broken she was half unconscious. "Whoa, now, but that’s all-fired bad!” said Uncle Jim as he descended from his wagon. “Hope she ain’t trilled. We can’t afford to lose any of our girls in this country." He had lifted her over on the grass when the girl recovered her senses and sat ilp. If he had been a young man she wouldn’t have shed a tear. When she saw that he was old and fatherly she began to weep. “Hurt ye, of course,” he said with a half laugh, “and crying is good for hurts. Glad it didn’t break your neck. Got a bundle strapped on the bike, I ' see. Kind o’ going somewhere?" “Y-yes!” she sobbed. “Well, cry away all you want to, and then I’ll help you get started again. I don’t remember to have met you before. Live around here anywhere?” “N-no!” “Just so. Keep up the crying till the pain stops. No hurry, you know. When my daughter Prue was home Bhe’d sometimes cry from sunup to Bundown, and she said she felt the better for It.” “I’ll not shed another tear;” exclaimed the girl as she suddenly straightened up. “What did you stop for? Why didn’t you go on about your business? What Is it to you whether Pm hurt or not?” “Well, I’m Uncle Jim Parsloe, the man that goes around settln’ broken legs for grasshoppers and putting new A’/<t; \ t / wo “I’ll Not Shed Another Tear!” horns on cqws when the natural ones get knocked off. I’ve got a sort of friendly feeling for living things. Didn’t know but you had a leg or some ribs broken.” i r “No, I haven’t I was crying because —because —” “Because, you are In trouble. I knew that ten minutes ago. I’ll sit right down here and you can tell me all about it”| Uncle Jim had a sympathetic voice, a kindly Way and a fatherly fade. The girl looked at him for a moment and then decided to trust him. Queer, too. She wouldn’t have told the story to a grandma. “I live the other side of Middleton,” she began. “Yes, and you needn’t tell me your name if yeu don’t want to." “My father’s name 1b Haskell, and mine Is Janet.” “You can break right off and go to drying again, If you want to. I’m no A hand to be prying.” “But I want to tell you. Father’s had a horse die, mother’s got a felon on her finger and the house is upset.” “Os course—of course. I’ve had a horse die, and I’ve suffered with a felon.” “And mother—she—she up and boxed my ears this morning! Yes, hit me a box on the ear! Would you stand that?” “Well, I was twenty years old when dad gave me the last licking, and he ♦ laid it on smart, too. I reckon you ain’t much more than turned eighteen.” “Fm most nineteen. Nobody can box my ears, even If they have got a / felon! Didn’t I have my trouble, too? r Wasn’t mine greater than the others? Wasn’t I thinking of It with tears in my eyes when I forgot to scald out the churn?” “I guess you were. If you hadn’t you’d have scalded the churn for rare." The old horse stood peacefully sleeping In the ndiddle of the road, and Uncle Jim looked up at him and gave the girl a chance. He knew that more was coming. “It wee awful trouble,” she said. “I |»ve been keeping company with Tom

Drake for a whole year, and we are at good as engaged, and yet because w« had a little bit of a quarrel he quit and is going with another girl She’t tall and bony, and she toes In when she wjilks and she’s got a cast In one eye.” “Stars and garters, but what can ail him!” exclaimed Uncle Jim. “Why, when you were still eighty rods off 1 was saying to myself that I’d never seen a handsomer girl! Lord, but when you rolled off that bike you did it like a perfect lady!” “And so when Tom said he wouldn’t come again, and I forgot to scald the churn,' and mother boxed my ears with her well hand, I made up my mind tc —. “Don’t say it If you don’t want to. I know you didn’t make up your miKxl to Jump into the well.” “No —to run away!” “Well, well! Just bundled up a few things and took to your bike, eh? My daughter, Prue, hid In the barn all day once because I called her a ninny, but she didn’t git further than that. I ain’t the prying kind, but maybe I might ask where you are running to?” “I—l don’t k-n-o-w!” came a lon®drawn wail, followed by tears and sobs. “Got any money?” “N-o-o-o!” “Got any aunts or uncles?" “No-b-o-d-y!” “Well, I ain’t one to discourage anybody, but it looks a leetle dubious. The bike’s busted and you’ll have to walk. Guess you got a few bruises when you fell, too. A girl'can’t take such a flop as that without hurting some, even if she’s good-looking and smart as a whip.” t “If I’m good looking and smart why did Tom leave me and take up with that bony girl?” demanded the maiden as her sobs ceased all at once. “You don’t understand human nature yet,” replied Uncle Jim. “Young folks that don’t love never quarrel. There’s nothing to quarrel about. They love and quarrel and make up and get married. That’s the program, and it goes clear back to the year one. Always so—always so.” “And Tom will come back?” “Certain to. He’s just dying to get back right now. I’m drivin’ to Mid-, dietop, anyhow, and so I might as well drive jbeyond. I’ll put the bike in ths wagon and you climb in. Your folks have missed you by this time, but you can hide the bundle and say you went out to have a cry. I sort of guess Torn will be over to see you this very night.” “Say you are the best man In qjl this world!” exclaimed Janet as she rose up. “Oh| pshaw! I ain’t a patching to some folks. I’m just trying to be hall way decent as I jog along through the world.; If Tom comes over, and I think he will, you just stand him off for a while. Look at him as if you didn’t know him. Tell him no tinware is wanted today. Tell him you don’t think your father wants a windmill or any wire fencing. Let him realize what a girl he has lost, and then unbend by degrees. Remember that yot have heard his name somewhere in connection with a girl that toes in. Talk about the weather and the measles, and by and by down on his knees he’ll flop, and you can padlock him.” When Uncle Jim let the girl alight near her home he drove a mile farthet to see Tom Drake. Five minutes aftei they talked Tom was greasing hla boots for a call; at the Haskell farmhouse. And a long three years went by before Uncle Jim pulled his old horse up short one day in front of a farmhouse to say to a woman at the gate and a child hanging to her apron: “Yes, sir, you flopped off that bike that day like a perfect lady, and I’m kind of thinking that the girl that toed in had to toe out long ago!” Good for the Jeweler. “What, another?” said the jeweler. “Another,” said the unhappy-looking man who had handed a plain gold ring across the counter. Then he added: “Ij guess I’ll lake a ring a size smaller this time.” A ring costing $3.50 was finally sei lected.i “Rabe suicide would cut down jewelry expenses in that family,” said the jeweler. “They belong to a Slavic nation that adheres to the old custom of the husband presenting to his wife a new wedding ring every time she presents him with a new baby. This is the eighth ring that man has bought!. Her hands must be pretty well covered with wedding rings. None of the rings is expensive, but with A bunch of birthdays like that to be celebrated with wedding rings the cost mounts up.” True and Brave Women. To be able to look cheerfully and hopefully through clouds of poverty and distress Is an accomplishment bestowed by nature upon every true and brave woman; and, no matter how poor or humble her home may be, the magic power of smiles can brighten its shadows and lighten its cares. ■ Upon the troubled mind of a feeling! husband a wife’s smile falls like a Sunbeam on a flower; and how much more beautiful it makes the face that wears J.t than a frown! When a wife and mother, forgetting sorrows and hardships, smiles away her tears, there is a loveliness in the set that speaks to a man’s heart more eloquently than words. Piece Work.

SOME GURIOUSJOBS Uncle Sam Employs People in Many Queer Occupations. Among Them Are Wastebasket Inspectors, a Man Who Destroys slr 600,000 a Day and One Who Plays With Toy Ships. Washington. —In the various departments run in Uncle Sam’s service tecessarily there are many odd jobs, tome of which, though obscure, are rery important. There is the Work Inspecting the contents of the waste baskets in the treasury department, for instance. The two women who perform this service occupy a room in the basement of the great granite building and they spend the antire day mulling over the scraps of paper, red tape and other articles that find their way into the departmental waste baskets. They are experts in this humble calling. The paper is sorted according to quality, ind all bits of twine and rubber band are thrown to one side. * The chief purpose of this examination is to guard against the loss of money and valuable papers. It would be an easy thing for a bundle of bank aotes or treasury notes to slip into B waste basket. The women have eaught more than one valuable package of this kind. Also, they have a keen eye open for official letters, reports and other documents which have some to their baskets through carelessness. These women are paid S4BO l year each. Last year $1,600 was secured from the sales of waste paper lorted by them. On the top floor of the same building is a chemist who toils all day long amid samples of oleomargarine, aear-butter and fake whiskies. The lamples are sent to him by suspicious government agents who think the butler manufacturers and distillers are Bvading the law against adulteration. In addition to being a high-class jhemist this man is an expert witness. A Sinecure. The man who watches over the plates and dies from which the govsrnment paper money and bonds are printed receives $3,000 a year for his linecure. The law makes the Secretary of the Treasury personally reiponsible for this valuable property. The Secretary in turn intrusts it to B man in whom he has complete confidence and who is responsible to the Secretary and to no one else. At the jlose of each day this man gathers up the dies and plates, puts them in the lase, and the next morning hands them out again. ' Then there is the man who does aothing but write his signature from norning till night When Secretary MLacVeagh took up his duties at the Freasury Department he was appalled by a mass of treasury warrants, rouchers and other routine paperswhich the law required that he should ilgn. Other secretaries had been the slave of the same custom. Secretary Manning came nearest to freeing nimself from the irksome requirement. His name, save for the final letter g, was written on all routine documents by a clerk. Mr. Manning supplied the missing letter and the comptroller said It was all right. Secretary MacVeagh Improved this icheme by inducing Congress at the late session to pass a law authorizing a clerk to do his signing. Now Tohn Kiley attends to this job, affixing his name “for Franklin MacVeagh.” Kiley can sign from 500 to 1,500 documents a day. At the Department of Agriculture for the past two years three scientists have been engaged in examining lhe contents of the stomachs of birds. They are trying to find out whether certain birds are the friends or enemies of farmers. Special agents in lhe field slay the birds by the hunired and ship their stomachs to Washington in alcohol. Some of the •esults have been surprising. It has been dt. 'overed that hawks and owls ire not the wicked birds of prey the ’armers thought them to be, and, initead of shooting these supposed marauders, the intelligent agriculturist protects them. He realizes that tithough they may occasionally kill a ihlcken, they perform valuable service in hunting the voracious rodents which destroy alike grain products, roung trees and eggs of birds. Three women who have recently :ome to the front in the government service by reason of exceptional ability or the performance of unusual luties are Miss Anna H. Shortridge jf the State Department, Miss Margaret Kelley of the Treasury Department, and Mrs. Mabel P. Leroy of tbe Interior Department. Miss Shortridg'' Is the highest paid woman In the govsrnment service, her salary being 12,5.00 a year. She is a lawyer and m authority on international legal points. She was formerly employed In the Department of Justice, where ber, remaarkable talents attracted the personal attention of Mr. Knox when he waa the Attorney General. He frequently detailed her to prepare government briefs in important cases. When Mr. Knox entered the State Department the first thing he did was to ask for the transfer of Miss Shortridge from the Department of Justice. Takes Man’s Place. Miss Margaret Kelley was recently appointed “adjuster of accounts” for {he United States Mints at a salary of #2,000. This tea position that heretofore haa'jjways been held by a nan. MfSSTvelley is the highest paid roman tn the Treasury Department.

Mrs. Leroy signa the name of William H. Taft to United States land patents for which service she receives $1,200 a year. The position is a sinecure, and is given to the widows of officers who have served in the army and navy. The worn and soiled' money that comes to the treasury for redemption is handled by a man with a deft hand and accurate eye. He destroys stacks of paper money from morn till night by pushing them under a mutilating knife, the average being $1,500,000 worth of currency a day. For doing away with this trifle of $450,000,000 a year he is paid $1,200. At the Washington navy yard Naval Constructor David W. Taylor has a huge model tank in which he plays with tpy battleships, cruisers and submarines. It looks like play, but it isn’t. He is making scientific demonstrations of the effect on a vessel’s speed, coal consumption and other features resulting from ever so slight a change in the outward formation of the hull. In the treasury service are expert tea and coffee tasters, who tell the value and grades of these commodities by placing a few grains on the tongue. In the Department of Agriculture a force of young men eat drugged foods to determine just how poisonous they are. All of which goes to show that the business of running a big government gives rise to many curious occupations. SHARP RIVALRY IN SOCIETY. This year, as ever, there arises the question as to just what is the opening of the society season. The social leadership in Washington has never been centered in one person or one set, but each of the distinctive sets, of almost equal importance, conducts its own season as though it was the center of the social season. Only in a few formal White House receptions do all sets recognize a common leadership. And so this year Washington will have several society openings. There is the White House set and the diplomatic, official and army and navy sets. Each has a distinct character of its own. The White House set changes as the occupants of the White House change. Political expediency rules to some extent in arranging most White House gatherings. Official society takes its cues largely from the White House set, but it also has many activities of Its own. Its leaders are drawn from the families of senators, representatives and other government officials. The diplomatic set is the most alluring. It is cosmopolitan. Good fellowship prevails. The social doings of the corps have a charm which is felt by all who comes within the circle. In the army and navy circle there is a friendship born of many experiences in common in the service and the social life which they enjoy is delightful. In all of the sets there are bright particular stars, but there is no pan ticular one that greatly outshines the others. Among the leaders are Mrs. Meyers, wife of the secretary of the navy; Mrs’. Jblfti B. Henderson, Mrs. Herbert Wadswoath, Mrs. Winthrop Murray Crane and her sister, Miss Mabel Boardman, and Mrs. Preston Gibson. All these kre popular and have their strong following, but among them there has not arisen one who can wield the sqmter of leadership over aIL ’ X MONEY SHORTAGE UNLIKELY. There will be nl shortage of monej this fall in the United States. This is the belief of the tmasury department whose hand is on tie pulse of the na> tion’s financial andlbusiness life. In the opinion of officials the danger mark, if there actualy has been one, has been left astern. iThey give these reasons for their preAction of plentiful money: Primarily the banks saw what looked like a money shortage coming several months ago. They knew they could expect no help from the United States treasury, such as, they got in 1908, and prepared themselves. They have piled up gold, built hip reserves and cut down loans. Bonds or other securities which might not be easy to sell quickly have been turned into money. Panics foreseen never come, financiers say. Money is plentiful in England and on the continent of Europe. That is always said to be a good sign ip making a prediction for this country. Nearly every crop in the United States this year is reported to be i bumper one. Next month, it is estimated, lives tors all over the country will receive nearly $170,000,000 in dividend checks from industrial, railroad and other corporations. That will add, oi course, to the money generally in circulation. One of the best reasons why treasury officials believe there will be no money stringency Is that the national banks are preparing themselves to issue $500,000,000 extra currency, as the emergency law provides, if; they have to. The common knowledge that such an immense sum is? available would tend to stop any general movement to take money out of banks and hoard it in stockings.

The wolves were captured five years ago and are now perfectly tame. (

WHAT HE CONSIDERED FAIR Mr. Olsen’s Offer Must Have Come As Surprise Even Jo Persuasive Claim Agent. Up In Minnesota Mr. Olsen had a cow killed by a railroad train. In due season the claim agent for the railroad called. “We understand, of course, that the deceased was a very docile and valuable animal,” said the claim agent in his most persuasive clalm-agentleman-ly manner, “and we sympathize with you and your family In your loss. But Mr. Olsen, you must remember this: Your cow had no business being upon our tracks. Those tracks are our private property and when she Invaded them she became a trespasser. Technically speaking, you, as her owner, became a trespasser also. But we have no desire to carry the issue into court, and possibly give you trouble. Now, then what would you regard as a fair settlement between you and the railroad company?” •Wail,” said Mr. Olsen slowly, “Ay baen poor Swede farmer, but Aye shall give you two dollars.” —Everybody’s.
