Census Director Mcrriom has re
cently employed tho most successful
rchetno for ascertaining Svlio' aro
really tho good clerks in any branch
loornment service. The
ved upon him of getting
some ot his etmcriluous
I'ho usual war for ascer
taining the ones to be dismissed is
to ask the plain question. Hut Mer
riant did it tho other way. Ho asked
which of tho clerks each division
chief wished to keep. Each chief,
with an cvq singlo to having his
work well done, mado out a straight
lilt. No dronera wcro included in
it. Tho chiefs thought they would
bo allowed to retain theo clerks.
Instead, of that tho director ordered
tho transfer of these good clerks to
divisions in which thcro aro to bo
no dismissals at present. Now tho
chiefs who were caught by tho trick
aro wondering how they aro to fin
ish tho work they havo on hand with
tho inferior clerks that aro left.

Dawes sat behind hlro. and then, with
delicious Intonation, but an Instant
wit, he said, "I was directing my re
marks to tho aueeeiior of Charles Sum.
nor amt not to tho successor of Danle)
