Those who merely heard it thought a cyclone was passing and those who tried to peer through the smoke after the vehicle had passed were willing to affirm that a forest fire had burned its way down our principal thoroughfare. The few who stayed with the situation long enough to find out, discovered that this combination of thresher, donkey engine, pile driver, freight train, flying machine and boiler factory had stopped at the J.

McGowan, a messenger boy In Washington, has discovered a brand new job that has got all other special stunts outside the regular, routine fad ed to a whisper. The other afternoon, in response to a-ohoDe message, be was sent to a fashionable apartment house on . Connecticut avenue. The j tremulous feminine voice that sent in the .call frankly volunteered the in formation that a boy was not wanted to carry a message and finally con cluded that a statement of the work he was to perform could not be made' over the phone. It was Reddy McGowan's turn, and he was shoved on the job. Reddy re turned three-quarters of an hour later. His face wore a smile, and his eyes were all a-twiukle. "Did you fiDd that lady?" asked the clerk. s "Sure, I did. sir!" replied Reddy. "You'll have to make a report on this," said the clerk. . "There With the Looks, All Right. . "She told me to peach to. no one, but I suppose I gotta, replied Reddy. "I goes up there, an' she meets me at the door. She's-there with the looks, all right. She says she's glad I ain't any older, an' I wonders what's comin' off. She has on one of them kimo nos, an' -she's there with the piuk cheeks an' the blond hair.

I eats candy for five minutes, an' I has just finished up all of the chocolate marshmellers I kin lay me mitts on when she comes out again. . It Wasn't Any "Cinch." She's got a pink dress on this time, but It don't fit her none t6o good, an' then I pipes it off that it -ain't but toned. There's a big string of black buttons runnln' down the back au' a lot: of sort of little jiggers made out of black cord that fits over 'em. "She looks at me an' laughs. 'Little boy,' she says. '1 want you to button me up.'

PLACES FOR DEAF MUTES, Secretary Nagel Would Employ Them . In Tabulating Census Figures. Deaf and dumb persons are to have a chance' in the government service if Secretary Nagel's plans for the next census work out He stated recently that in the handling of the punching and tabulating machines there is much work a mute could easily perform, and he thought it was time the government took some pains in giving them oppor tunities for such work as they are ca pable of. Some of the tabulating machines, it is now thought, can be built in the government workshop adjoining the census office, and in this" way Mr. Na gel expects to save the government nearly $l,00O;0OO. Heretofore the ma chines have been leased for thd rush weeks of the census.
