July G. Thc stupendous chnracter of tno work Involved, In the phyjlca yn I uatlon or railroads by the Inter state Commerce Commission Is em nhailied In a statement Issued b the Civil Service Commission, which is charged with recruiting the vnBt army of experts and other employes Required for the undertaking The first of the examinations In tnis new field of civil service employment win he held in all of the tn to and In the territories of Hawaii and Porto Rico, on July 21 and 23. So great Is the Interest among those seeking empioyim-iii um -ready about 20,000 Inquiries hae been received nt Civil Service head quarters. From all parts of the country, letters l:nvo Wired In at tho rate of from COO to 1000 dally slnco the announcement on Juno 14 of the first examination. Not only will a large force be re quired to complete the lnltli.1 work of appraising the vnluatlon of nil tno railroads of the country, but after the final figures are obtnlned It Is probable that a considerable number will bo required to keep the Information up to date. I hub It will bo seen that the work nbout to bo undertaken will bo permanent for a great number of employes under tho Civil Service, Those who nro appointed when tho work starts nnd make good, naturally will havo tho best chance for ad vancement. As tho undertaking Is entirely In Its Infancy. It Is Impos sible to toll how long a tnsk It will be, but It Is estimated Hint it will require nbout five years. It will be started as soon ns the employes can qualify. While the Civil Service Commis sion is anxious to receive applica tions form ns ninny qualified per sons as possible, because it believes thnt there will be no great surplim of such men. It has been found nec essary to empiinslzo the require ment of experience In tho different llnnu of wnrlf I'livercil liv tl'0 17 0- ninliintlnnii to be held. Many of tho applications for examination blankn thus far have como from tnlnt.rntilinm nlntlnti ni?efitit. routine- tors and others, whose qualifications nro not or tno kiiiii ior me worn about to bo started. The character of the work, the salaries and the ninnner of exam inations is explained by the Civil Qnrrlrt fntmnliulnii nR folIflll'M?

A GENERATION ago our moth ers and fathers were nsklng whether it was the lady or the tiger. Tho question was Illus trated and dramatized, cartooned and parodied. All this excitement nroe from n slnglo short story written by a quiet, unassuming man who had nlrendy begun to win at lentlon as a story teller. "The Lady or The Tiger" left Its hero In a terrible predicament. A sim ple choice that faced him would either leave him face to face with a beautiful young lady or place him ulmolutely at the mercy of u devour ing tiger and there the story stop ped, it was a practical joke that found u permanent place In Amer ican literature. It Is said that nt a dinner once given to Frank It. Stockton, when the detwert was placed before the litiHlenH, the Minuted guest mnv two iiloeks of Ice cream, one modeled as a lady and the other as a tiger.

One man who real ized his boyhood ambition was our greatest American humorist, Mark Twain. Ills boyhood was spent In n little Mississippi River town be fore the war. when river commerce was lu Its glory, and the Mississippi pilot was a man who ranked very little below the angels In the oes of small boys.

"A little of both, please." Frank R. Stockton was born In Philadelphia on April ii. 1S3I. and died In Washington. I). C. April 20. 1U02. He attended Philadel phia public schools, and his llrst vocntlon was that of wood engraver and designer. He made many Illus trations for magazines thnt after ward sought his contributions ns nn author. Ills first employment was on n Philadelphia morning pa per, and while lie supported himself as an engraver ho was constantly contributing short articles to his own and other nnpers. in 1S72 ho gave up designing to Join the staff of tho New York Hearth and Home. A venr tutor he went over to Serlb- liar's Monthly (now the Century Mncnzlne.) nnd In n very short time wns mnde assistant editor of n new ningnzlup for children thnt was then being established--the St. Nicholas Magazine. This position he filled until ISM). Aside from certain famous novels such s.s -Rudder Grange," which llr.U brought Stockton Into proni Ineiieo In 1S70. nnd "The Casting vny of Mrs. I.ecks and Mrs. Ale shine," this author Is at his best III his stories for children. Ills humor Is mi less distinctively American than that of Josh Hillings nnd Ar tennis Ward and others of tho slapstick school, and yet his style Is simple and quiet. He deals In an extravagant r.bsurdltv of plot. It Is us though his whole story was a Joke on the reader. One seems to see the man's own gentlo delightful porsonntlty behind the ftorles he has written. Ills dentil Is so recent that It Is hard to say how permanent a place ninnv of his writings will occupy In nierlean literature: but some of thoni nre certain to survive. Ills name Is nl niost as well known In England ami Australia ns In America, and his novels have nearly all been trans lated Into foreign "tongues by Captain Isaiah Sellers of Now Orleanx l'leiiviine. tho Just as Mark Twain enMly ranks superior to any other American humorous writer, so does he seem to have exceeded them all In tho variety of his experiences nnd the extent of his wanderings Into the odd corners of our country. When lu Newidn he became a reporter and staff writer. It was there that be llrst learned his power of ex pression. For u time he tried min ing, going to raiitornia ai.il other cisco be tried hlx bniul at tonriml. ism again, and took n trip to the Sandwich Islands, which ho wrote up for a local paper. From l.sfio to 1S71 lie was editor of a prom inent Hiiffalo dally. An experience thnt undoubtedly had great effect upon Mark Twain's personal character, bringing him friends In great number who until that time had known him simply us a humorous writer of considerable nblllty, was the failure of his busl ue.ss. In 1SS4 he became owner, with others, of a publishing house I lie business failed ten years later with large liabilities. Mark Twain accepted responsibility for these r.ebts. toured the world In a trium phant lecture tour nnd paid them entire. It Is hard for us of the present day clitics, ming still in the mem ory of Mark Twain's delightful per sonality, with his mirth provoking nfter-dlnner speeches, still ringing in our ears, to say Just how he will be measured -as a humorist or as a seiions writer; he has written so much of both kinds - nil good hvery day n different human In terest story will appear in The limes.
