V, i L. MMMMMHMmMIIMH I RAILWAY MAIL 8ERVICE. X Another opportunity offered by Uncle Sam that Is open to any Intelligent and trustworthy boy who Is ambitious to rise above the rank of common day laborer. It Is an occupation which has the great advantage of being permanent If one learns to fulfill the require ments properly Its possibilities of advancement, too, are at tractive. By C. W. JENNINGS. nillllMMHIUMHt T la not unlikely that one or several young men from your town or city have en tered tho railway mall Bervlco and aro now regu larly employed In that work or havo risen to higher positions in the sarao line. Now your promis ing boy can take up the work and suc ceed In it, If ho happens to like this sort of employment. It Is agrecablo work, and fairly remunerative and there Is high success possible as a re ward for Industry If your boy will stay with It, besides the advantages of be ing (employed by tho government un der civil service regulations. That makes employment certain as long as tho worker attends to business. Thus ho Is free from all the uncertainty that now and then disturbs the Indus trial world and may look upon his career as fixed an advantage that Is moro attractive than 41 high salary with a possibility that business ro verses of one's employer or other causes may compel him to look for an other Job without warning. This Is how to go about It getting into tho railway mall service: Write a letter to tho United States Civil Service Commission at Washington, stating that you wish to enter the rail way mall service, and you will rccclvo full Information as to tho general preparation required, physical and mental qualifications, as well as the timo and place of tho next examina tion to bo held In your vicinity. Your boy muBt pass the civil service tests before ho Is eligible to appointment; but examinations are held at frequent Intervals In various parts of the coun try, often enough and sufficiently near to where he lives so that he can ar range to attend them without diffi culty. At some time In the year every State has Its examination for tho rail way mall service. Your boy must bo between 18 mid 36 years of age to take the, examina tion, and must be at least 5 feet 5 Inches in height and weigh 130 pounds. Tho subjects of examination aro as follows: Spelling, arithmetic, letter writing, penmanship, copying from plain copy, political geography of tho United States, reading addresses, and systems of railway transportation. Tho test in reading addresses consists of comparing a number of written ad dresses with printed copy on which various errors are purposely made. Tho questions on systems of railway transportation will bo confined to rail roads entering and running through tho railway division In which the ap plicant Hve3 and connecting tho prin cipal cities or Important railway cen ters within or near its borders; also Junction points on theso railway routes. Tho country is at present di vided into 13 divisions, according to tho distribution of volumo of mall traffic. For example, tho first division includes tho Now England states; tho second, Now York, New Jersey, Penn sylvania, Delaware, the eastern shore of Maryland, and Accomac and North ampton counties, Virginia; the 11th division, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas and New Mexico, and so on. Having passed this flxamlnation, your boy's name Is added to tho list of ellglbles, and he awaits the summons from Uncle Sam that Informs him that there Is a substitute Job awaiting him. This means that somebody is ill or has been transferred, or that there Is a sudden Increase of work and he Is wanted to tako some place temporar ily. Ho will remain on tho substitute list for a year or a year and a half, according to tho noed3 of tho service; but during that tlmo ho will bo paid at the rate of ?800 a year for tho tlmo ho works. After that ho will bo given a regular aproIntmnt at which he must work on probation for six moullm be fore being a full fledged postal clerk. However, tho tlmo ho served as substi tute is deducted from this probation period, and, If ho has served for at least six months, which Is likely, as ho will havo worked as substituto at least half tho tlmo ho will get his full appointment at once, at a salary of 900 a year, or $75 a month. Now ho will bo at his regular work, with no doubts of future employment and steady promotion on ahead of him. His duties will be on mall cars, whero ho will work for eight hours or more a day. according to tho require ments of his particular route. His work will bo tho distribution and routing of mall. This Bounds sim ple enough; but It means that ho should know tho proper and speediest routo to send a letter that comes from anywhero and goes anywhere In or out of his district. For Instance, sup pose your boy lives in Wisconsin, which Is In tho 10th division, and Is working on a railroad In northern Michigan. Along comes a letter ad dressed to Hudolph, South Dakota, which Is in tho wamo division. Ho should know instantly, without stop ping to think or to look It up, how to Bond that letter across Michigan, Wis consin and Minnesota, and finally to tho llttlo hamlet In tho northern part of South Dakota to which it Is ad dressed. This means, that ho must know tho namo of tho railroad that will qirry It thero soonest, tho tlmo M tho particular train leaves Chicago for Minneapolis nnd the closest connec tions that can bo mado all through. You can readily see that vour boy, when ho becomes an A 1 railway mall cleik, will bo just About tlio best post ed man on tho political geography of that division in existence. Thero aro frequent examinations to test tho competency nnd advancement of your boy all through his work; for ho must show progress and acquaint ance with new territory in his region, that he Is familiar with tho opening of new railroad and mall and Hiatto routes, and this Is very Important that he can read just about tho worst addressed envelope that over was written, and this Instantly as ho grabs It from tho top of the pllo In his hand and throws It 10 feet down tho car, over rows of open sacks, Into Its prop er bag. Incidentally,' tho man who can throw mall the fastest and most accurately Into Its proper pouch Is the best railway postal clerk. Thero aro several promotions, all bearing the samo title, but with in creases in pay. Each ono of these brings an advance of $100 a year, and It Is a rule that a clerk shall not gain moro than two In any one year. Ho is promoted in tills way, as ho shows In creased efficiency, until ho Is drawing $1,400 annually. Then, a vacancy occurring, ho Is made clerk In charge of tho mall car or cars on which ho Is working, mean ing that ho Is at tho head of all clerks employed there, at $1,G00 a year. His next promotion Is to rhlnf clerk In chargo of tho lines running through that territory, at $l,S00. By this time ho will have been at work probably 15 to 20 years, but ho will havo reached a position of importance and will be one of the leading men in tho service. Further promotions aro to assistant superintendent of the field at $1,800, to assistant division superintendent nt $2,000, and to division superintendent at $3,000.- These division officers aro at the head of the railway mall busi ness in the 13 great divisions of the country. Tho highest jobs in the service out side of tho Postmaster General, of courso, who Is a political appointee, nre,the general superintendent of tho entire service, located In Washington, who is appointed by tho Postmaster General, and draws a salary of $4,000 annually, and the second assistant Postmaster General, at $r,000, who Is the extreme and direct head of tho railway mall department. Both of these offices customarily go to men who havo worked up from tho ranks. (Copyright, 1910, by tho Associated Lit erary Press.) BRUDDER SAGG NEEDED AID His Lady Wanted Her Rights and Her Methods of Getting Caused Him Great Distress. "I wants to ax yo' advice, Brudder Ramshack," began an obfustlcated looklng colored citizen.

Interrupted old Brother Ramshack, who was no llttlo of a philosopher. "Lady folks Is all dat-uh-way; wants delr rights." "But dlsn't gits 'em! Rotches out and snatches 'em away fum me dat's her method of puhsoot. Wants her rights an' gits 'em!

If a business man does not advor Use his goods, the sheriff will sooner or later do It for him LIKE TO WALK IN PUDDLES A Qrown-Up Man Tries to Ascribe Reason for Thfs Fanoy of Boys. "It may not bo a matter of grave moment," said a grown-up man, "but I would rather like (o know why small boys like to walk lu mud puddles. "I don't refer now to tho boy In rubber boots; his motives In wading in puddles and In deeper wator I can understand. Ho is proud of his water proof boots and he likes to surfeit himself with tho delightful conscious ness and proof that they aro water proof; he llkos to bravo and pass un scathed the perils of the deep water ways of the gutters after a heavy rain; though with his first boots any way he Is likely to overdo this a llt tlo, to koep on trying to see how doop ho can go till at last ho steps Into a place a llttlo deepor than tho rest and gets his boots filled. "Still, I can understand tho boy and his rubber boots, but I 'don't quite p through his fancy for walking or 3top-plng-ln puddles generally whon ho has leather shoos on. Maybo hero too it Is because he likes to tako risks, or perhaps it Is because of his Innate do flanco of rulo and convention. "A bunch of small boys will ono after another try Jumping over a pud dlo to see if they can clear it, and then sooner or lator ono is sure to como down within tho odgo of tho water. But that doesn't disturb him; on tho contrary ho rather enjoys that experience, and then you may seo the bunch wind up by all running or walk ing through tho water. Why do they do this, getting their shoes wet and muddy and getting them wet causing them to wear out tho sooner, to say nothing of causing their mothers caro and worry not only ovor shoes but stockings? But all boys llko to slush through mud puddles, and for that matter so do somo older people, too. "I llko myself when I havo on rub bers to walk right ahead regardless of the pools of wator on tho sidewalk. In fact I am likely to stop In them de liberately if they are not too deep, so that I may get the water over my rub ers to wpt my rpot I llko to slash ahead unhampered and really In doing this simple llttlo freo action I find enjoyment. And I guess It Is a sense of this sort that makes the boy find n pleasure In scampering or stamping: or walking through mud puddles; he likes to take tho risk and seo how much water ho can get Into without getting his feet wet, but tho thing he Ukes best about It is itB defiant unfat hered freedom." Man a Back Number. It Is the year 2000. The famous and successful lady orator Is addressing a large and enthusiastic audience. At tho end of her speech she eayB: "I bellevo that this Is the time for me to publicly acknowledge by Indent nesg to one who has been my com panion, my counsellor, and my guide, who has upheld my weary hands whon the task seemed too great for my strength, who has choered me with' loving words when I returned worn and weary from my arduous duties In club and on platform, who has by thoughtful, ronstant ministrations giv en the blessed knowledge that always there Is for me a haren of refuge and rest, a harbor of oomfort and cheer my home. All that I am, and all that I have, I owo to that inestimable man, my huBband." At the back of the hall sat a little pale-faced man, whose face, as those gracious words fell on his cars, brlght oned wonderfully. This waB her hus band. All his patience and solf-eacrl-flco were rewarded at last. Perfumes ac Antiseptics. New York dandies who perfume themselves aro laughed at, and yet a scientist, writing la the Scotsman, Bays all sweet odors aro conducive to health and aro harmlesB. He asserts posltlvo antiseptic properties are pos sessed by tho oils of lavender, eucalyp tus, clove, rosemary nnd other plants; moreover, they possess tho power to destroy bacterln. And does not the doctor recommond the air of a sun-lit plno wood? It has been said by a fam ous writer that whenever the sun Bhlnes on the fragrant herbs they ex press their gratefulness In hcilth-gtT-lng ozone. Lavender wator, aau de cologne and attar of roses drive off headaches and Invigorate the Jadod mind. Evon to robust persons in steady health, says Sir William Tem ple, the effect of certain sweet odors is to stimulate tho mental faculties and givo positive pleasure to their ex orcise. They counteract or combat mental disease, have a beneficial ln fluenco on temperament. Royal Abbess of Seventeen.

Colds, chills, or grip strain tlie kidneys and start backache, urinary disorders and uric acid troubles. You feel lame, weak and tired and have headache, dizzy feelings, achy muscles and joints; too frequent, painful urinary passages, sediment, etc. Chills hurt the kidneys. Likewise well kidneys often prevent taking cold, by helping to pass off the waste matters of cold congestion. Doan's Kidney Pills are very useful in the raw winter and spring months.
