THE NEW UNION RAILWAY STATION ] [Illustration: Photo by Clinedinst THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION ] [Illustration: Photo by Clinedinst THE NEW NATIONAL MUSEUM ] A shamefaced clerk was seen to emerge from the room. When the others rushed in they found the girl in a dead faint which was followed by hysterics. Then the women said, "Aha! you got what you deserved with your red dress, your loud manners, and flippant talk." The girl replied, "Well, I think you should have had the decency to tell me that before, if my dress and manners exposed me to insult. You will see, I shall learn." Sure enough, the girl did learn to dress quietly, and is now an efficient, decorous helper. The wife of one of the new-rich, who have come to Washington to spend their money in social life, was being taken through the Census Department when they had on the full force of several thousand. Looking over that crowd, every one of the intellectual rank of a first-class teacher, she said: "Ah! I see now what makes servants so very scarce in Washington!" Each one of these classed as of the rank of servants had passed an entrance examination which her ladyship could not have stood, even if her life had depended upon it. One of the peculiar features of department life is that it seems to dry up the milk of human kindness. A man will move heaven and earth to get a high situation under the government, then when others ask from him less than he has asked of his friends, the applicant is made to feel like a beggar. He is advised to go home and tend to his own affairs—which may be very good advice, but comes with bad grace from a government official. I knew a man from the South, the editor of a religious paper, the most important man in the county, who came to Washington to ask for the post-office of his own town. His credentials had the endorsement of every bank, every business house, every preacher, doctor, and teacher in his town. He was permitted to get as near headquarters as the Fourth Assistant Postmaster, where he was told Senator Blank would have that appointment. The Senator appointed a Catholic in that town where there are not over forty Catholics, and where a Lutheran College alone gets more mail than the entire Catholic population. The new man was a person _non grata_ to the entire town, but the Senator had paid a campaign debt.
