took the precaution thla time of telling
their employer, and be decided that if
the work was satisfactory It didn't
make much difference which did it.
. Bessie and Essie , are dark-haired,
gray-eyed twins, of exactly the same
height, with precisely the same feat
ures and the same way of wearing their
hair. . To distract the public more they
dress exactly alike, and every check or
polka dot in their gowns hlta In exactly
the sams place.. Their chain bracelets
are alike and worn on (he same arms.
Their 'rings are alike everything; is
alike, in fact, but their chain lockets
but this only makes the similarity more

pected t remember which had . the
round one and which the heart. .
These twins . have solved, -the
problem - of conservation of ' energy.
Each etudled half the lesson when they
were Is school, and. though the teacher
tied a. blue ribbon on the arm of one
that she might not havs to recite the
whole lesson, it wae easy to slip it off
and pass It on If the teacher's Judgment
was lacking and either got the wrong
part. 'At dances, too, the likeness was
ased to advantage, for dances with un
popular partners could be so easily
shifted, or each could disclaim -the
dance and' calmly walk off, '
But Essie thinks that their remark
able resemblance may prove a nuiaanoe
sometimes. Bessie chucklee audibly
amid Essia'r protests as she tells of
the Albany man who came to see her
sister a few Sundays ago. Unfortunate

arrival and Bessie saw hira first , Im

BIG GRAY RAT SEEKS REFUGE
IN VAULT AT THE COURTHOUSE
The Pied Tlper of Hamlin U be were
in Portland, -mtght-eecur a lucrative
contract ; from County -Clerk Frank 9.
Fields, There are not as many rata e
be lured away from the courthouse . as
there were tn Hamlin, and but" for one
blaV-gray rat the nounty clerk would
not wish for the piper. - '. : .
Three days ago thla big rat scurried
across the floor of the outer office and
all the rats that followed the piper Into
the mountains could not vie in sharps
and flats with the ahrleks of the horri
fied women deputies. " The mala deputies
bravely came to the rescue and the rat,
to escape being killed, rushed Into the
big vault where the county records r are
kept, and has since - refused to come
out, ' .. .' -
The vault ' has been thoroughly
searched repeatedly. 'but no' rat could be
found. . Tet, ' each morning too
where he had been trying to gnaw his
way out were seen. Traps baited with
tempting bits of cheese are treated with
scorn by the rodent.'. y
' Yesterday evening the- vault was left
open when all the deputies went borne
and a large pleoe of cheese was placed
outside in the hope that the rat-would
be tempted to come out The night-
watchman was peeping, and saw Mr.
Rat steal cautiously out, snatch the
eheeee and scurry back to the darkness
of the vault, where he had the first good
meal he has had for three days.
When Deputy County Clerk Christen
sea closed the vault at it o'clock the
rat had retreated to hie bidden nest and
Is. there- pel It-ts-feared that it WtU
become eo hungry that It will gnaw up
the eounty records, and If It can't be
ooaxed out pretty soon. County Clerk
Fields may have to detail one of his
deputies In order to protect the papers.

EXPERIENCE COUNTS, SAYS
CIVIL SERVICE EXPERT
6hould Ba Given Great Con
alderatlon When Positions Are
JLwwdedeJOeclareaW
i That experience may properly be con
sidered one of tha most necessary
qualifications la a competitive examine
tion la the opinion of C 8. Snyder, sec
retary of tha twelfth United States civil
service district, which is composed of
the Paclflo coast and Rocky mountain
states.
Dr. Snyder was In the city yesterday
and at the request of Secretary McPher
son of the Portland civil service com
mission, ' examined the office method
and the manner of conducting examina
tions for city Jobs. Hs holds that the
method in which the examination for
captain of polios -and detectives last
October was held was ths best that can
be given, coneldering tha peculiar qual
ifications demanded of the man In that
position. This waa the teet by whioh
Patrick Bruin went Into office.
Mr. Snyder was for several years as
sistant chief examiner at Washington,
and had to paae upon the examinations
for (00 positions under the' federal civil
servloe. He elates that the same meth
ods are pursued by the government, and
cited inatanoea where experience was
principally taken into consideration. He
also said, .after having , examined all
the applicants' papers, that Bruin stood
the highest In his examination, and
that be would have so marked Bruin
had he been on, the examining board.
The government expert also gave as
his opinion that the civil service regu
lations in- the- charter are too stringent,
and that .too many restrictions are
placed on executive officers regarding
the discharging of employes. He haa
found that tha tendency of executive
officers is to retain inefficient employes
rather than to discharge them for polit
ical or -religious res sons.
