PREFERS SALARY
TO HUSBAND.
Washington, Dec. 6. It is said
that few Government clerks die and
none resign. New proof of the ten
acity of the Government employe,
especially of the well-paid women
on her Uncle Sam's roll, is furnish
ed. A recent order of the Postmaster
General directs that married wo
men who have husbands in the
Government service must give up
their positions. One sagacious wo
man in the Post Office Department
has solved the difficulty by decid
ing to drop her husband and keep
her Government job.
She reasons that husbands can
be had by the gross, whereas a Gov
ernment job comes but once in a
lifetime, and should not be lightly
frittered away merety to retain'
something, which, at best, is a drug
in the market.
This clerk has a nicJ400 place
and her husband holds one worth
$l,S00. She appeared this morning
in the office of her chief and made
a formal announcement that she
and her husband had decided to get
a divorce.
"We talked it all over," she said,
"and agreed this was the only thing
we could do and both be satisfied.
He has always -spenkhis salary and
I have spent mine. We usually got
alocg very well in this way. But if
we are to lose -either salary it would
be mine, and he would not want to
spend any less than he has t)een
spending, and I -would have nVh
ing except what I could beg from
him. Therefore we think it is wiser
to separate.1'
I he Postmaster General's order
forbidding man and wife to both
hold -clerkships has not only work
ed this change, but it has stopped
several intended weddings.
It is said that there has been
secret marriage in the department
in order to evade the new rule.
A lienchman on his return to
Paris, after a week's stay with an
English commercial friend in Lon
don, sat down to inscribe a letter
to thank his host for his kind hos
pitality. Possessing but a scant
knowlege of the English language,
it entailed some effort on his part
to frame a suitable letter. He
managed, however, to convey what
he wished to say with considerable
satisfaction to himself. It only
needed the usual finishing sentence,
and the Frenchman was wont to
wind up his social letters with the
French phrase, "May the Lord
preserve you and your family to all
eternit7?5
Failing for the moment to recall
the English definition of the French
word meaning "preserve" he sought I
the aid of a dictionarj--. He there
discovered that the word meant
"pickle," so with pride he conclud
ed his missive with the parting
words:
"May the Lord pickle you arid
your fawily to'all eternity!" Ex.
NATIVE OF BROWNSVILLE

at 2124 South Flores street of ex

about seven years. She is surviv

A POSSIBLE DEMO
CRATIC CANDIDATE.
After the recent election for Gov
ernor in New York, the Sun, a Re
publican paper," declared that if
Judge Parker had been nominated
instead of Coler, he would have de
feated Odell. The Evening Post
seems to have held the same view.
It pointed out that Coler's defeat
was due to the malign influence of
Hill, and said that if Judge Parker
had been nominated by the Demo
crats for Governor he would prob
ably have been elected. This, more
over, would have made him the
Democratic nominee for President
in 1906.
Alton B. Parker is the chief jus
tice of the Court of Appeals for the
State of New York. He is fif ty years
old. He has had a distinguished
career as a lawyer and a judge. He
filled various judicial positions and
in 1885 he was appointed to the
Supreme Bench, and in 1889 he was
made a judge of the Court of Ap
peals, being the youngest member
that ever sat in that 'court in New
York State.
Judge Parker has always been
actively interested in politics. He
was an earnest supporter of Mr.
Cleveland in 1884, and in 18S5 was
chairman of the Democratic State
executive committpe. The extent of
his popularity may be judged by
his election as chief justice of the
Court of Appeals in 1897. It will
be remembered that the year be
fore Bryanism was in ttie heyday
of its popularity in the Democratic
party, Democrats had joined hands
with Populists, and the Lord of
Misrule was urging them to keep
on with the dance. But the bottom
had dropped out in the melancholy
days of November, and the Repub
licans carried New York by a plur
ality of 26S, 469. On the "heels of
this disaster Judge Parker was nom
inated by the Democrats for chief
justice of the Court of Appeals. A
more forlorn hope could hardly
have been imagined; yet he over
came the Republican plurality of
268,469, and was elected by a plu
rality of 62,879.
Unquestionably there are the
elements of unusual popularity in
this man. He has had a remarkably
- i
successful career. He has never lost
a political race. He has occupied
many important places and has
filled them all with credit. If we
remember aright he was First As
sistant Secretaiy of State at one
time. He has thus had not only an
honorable service on the bench, but
he has had a varied experience with
official and political life. Here.

then, is a man who meets the para
mount requisite of availability, and
it would not be surprising if his4
name were presented for the con
sideration of the next National
Democratic convention. Memphis
