The spirit of rivalry between the legal
department and the claim department
had alwas been rampant The feud
had descended from generation tj gener
ation and was of longstanding Its origin
if it had had an origin was forgotten and
tho combatants of tho present day like
tho principals to a vendetta knew not
for what they fought The claim de
partment was numerically the stronger
but while its employees were mere clerks
engaged in clerical duties those of the
legal department were professional men
The claim department resented the at
mosphere of quiet dignity that prevailed
in the legal department We weie ac
cused because of the srperior attain
ments that were acknowledged to be
ours of holding ourselves aloof This
attitude born of self consciousness was
of itself suflicient to account for the
strained relations that existed If any
thing went wrong the legal department
had no scruples about laying the blame
on the claim department And on the
other hand the claim department availed
itself of everv opportunity to put the
burden of responsibility upon us Ail
of which is but an exemplification of
human nature
The breach has grown wider and over
the most insignificant trifle Miss Ethel
the peacemaker tho only neutral person
in the warfare that was waged is the
cause of it all Miss Ethel really be
longed equally to both departments
though neither was willing to admit that
the other had any claim upon her She
had been with us for many years and
had come to seem almost as much a part
of the ollice and quite as indispensable
as the furniture She was indeed an
exceptional woman one with whom
everyone was in love one to whom every
one went in jus nour or need sne was
not fair of face She was not as young
as she had once been but slie had the
kindliest disposition in the world
One day she did not come to work
and for many days after her place was
deserted We heard that she was seri
ously ill and not one who had known
her but awaited with anxiety the daily
bulletin that came from the sick room
not one but hoped for her speedy re
covery not one but would have sor
rowed at her death
When she was on the road to recovery
it was suggested tnat wo send lier a
tribute of flowers But on being re
minded that she was a woman of deep
sentimentality and that the effect of
the gift might be injurious tho project
was abandoned for the time being
Shortly after that a deputation arrived
from tho claim department to solicit sub
scriptions for a fund that was being
raised for the purchase of flowers to be
sent her Some of our younger members
who do not bear the same grudge to the
other office that the older members do
assented to the proposition and paid
their assessments When one of the
older men was approached on the sub
ject he quickly said No What do we
want to pay our money into their fund
for Miss Ethel belonged to use and it
would be no more than proper that a
gift should come from us alone Further

than that we dont want those fellows
running here with a subscription paper
every time some bloody trackman gets a
scratch Thisargumentstrtick usfoici
bly Our contributions to the other
fund were demanded back and we raised
a fund of our own in short order pur
chased our flowers and had them sent
to the convalescent
Indignation ran high at tho other
office when they learned what wo had
done We were told that it would bo a
cold day when wo were given another
opportunity of similar character a
threat that did not frighten us in the
least We weie told that our trick was
beneath the dignity of characterization
The names we were called were pictur
esque rather than complimentary
They determined to rival us in the size
and beauty of their bouquet and they
had the abominable taste to boast of
what they proposed to do Wo laughed
at their taunts though we were not un
concerned at their promise to revenge
themselves upon us
What a variety of emotions this simple
incident aroused The motivo that
prompted the original suggestion was
probably good What right have we even
to suspect much less say that the pro
motors of the movement desired the
notoriety they would receive as a result
of their apparently disinterested efforts
What right have we to think that they
acted for the reward to conscience the
inevitable sequence of an act worthy
We of the legal department can claim no
credit for our part of the affair Our
purpose tirst was to outwit our old
eneim Then we wanted the lady to
believe that we thought well of her
Indeed our esteem for her was high but
what need to advertise the fact and so
promote cur own interests Was this
not a conceit that belittled the deed
Possibly we may have had some notion
that the flowers would give her pleasure
but this thought was secondary Some
of our members perhaps did not give
freely but because of the unpleasant
effect a lefusal or a failure to give would
have upon their own reputations They
gave not for the purpose of making an
other happy but to save themselves
from humiliation not because they
were virtuous but because they wanted
to seem so
What right had we to be amused at
the chagrin of the other office How
uncharitable we are How curiously
constituted is the human mind that it
can enjoy can take pleasure in the dis
comfiture and annoyance of another
They suffered as keenly as though the
pain had been physical and we laughed
at their writhings Then the spirit of
ambition moved them the desire to do
sometning oetrer ana Digger tnnn we
had done and again the welfaio of the
innocent cause of tho strife was left out
of consideration Their only thought
was to gratify a selfish whim Tho re
sult of their latest action was our vexa
tion that we had been overreached and
in its vvake their vicious pleasure at our
final overthrow
What a tempest of passion the appar
ently friendly act aroused How much
of good and what of ill did it accomplish
