her work for Indian schools so sue- During the greater part of the year, however, Miss Reel is on the go. She visits as many Indian schools as pos. sible, being obliged, as said before, to. saver a great deal of territory on She is loved by the Indian children: respected and admired by their par ents. So tactful and diplomatic has she been that she has smoothed over many Mieataned Mronbies and settled questions regarding the schools with. out further debate.

Kelly, em- 1 one abott the place, and that 'she was Crsirret of 2ennsylvanie ' Washington, but those three shine with especial brilliancy. It is Michigan's pride and privilege to have been their mother state. First of all-not to make an invidi- ous comparison, but because one of them must of necessity be mentioned first--there js Miss Margaret M. Han- na, who owns Ann Arbor, Mich, as her native place, Miss Hanna's nominal positisn is not her actual one. Upon the rolls she is carried as secretary to the second assistant secretary of state, Alvey A. Adee. In fact , She is Mr. Adee's prin- cipal assistant in the management of diplomatic affairs. Important and confidential diploma- tic letters and other documents of the state department's delicate work pass under her eve. Daily she is made awairg of secrets that the state de- partment guards most zealously. One can understand this when it is explained that $he diplomatic busi ness of the department of state is in charge of Mr. Adee. So one might say, all the correspondence upon the most important subjects that is con- stantly going on between the Ameri- can government, and those of other nations is known to Miss Hanna. Here, at least, is one woman who can keep a seeret. Were she only to whisper to an intimate friend one- tenth of the secrets that are harbored under her waving hair, and that friend start one of those endless chains of gossip that spread tidings far and wide, immense harm could be done and the United States become in- valved in serious complications. It isn't only that Mies Hanna knows how to keep a secret that she is valu- able. She is a diplomat by intuition, and through study has acquired a knowledge of international law and precedents surpassed by few in the ser- vice of the state department. These qualifications lod to the 'sig- honor of Miss Hanna's selection as one of the assistants to the United States delegation to the recent peace conference at The Hague. She was the t woman, it was said, to be hon- ored with such a position. It is generally conceded at Washing- ton that Miss Hanna's salary of 81,- S00 a year is not commensurate with her services, but, as a matter of fact, that is true of a great many persons who devote exceptional talents to the A larger salarv--82.000 a vear--is en- ployed in the mint burcan of the treas- ury department. Miss Kelly's pay was raised recently from $1,600. ad- vance was given, as despatches from Washington at the time stated, be- eanse hor excellent work entitled her to an increase. George E. Roberts, then director of the mint, called the attention of Sees retary Cortelyou to the business qual fications of Miss Kelly. He said that Miss Kelly desorved all she was ve- ceiving or could He stated that without question she would be able to Bil the position of director of the mit without any trouble. He said she was Mhomughly capable and that she knew as mi about the business as any more fitted tu a business life than any one he had ever knowwn.. That was high indorssment, and ves ed in increased pay for the, faith 1 and energetic young woman, Ove i» Treasury Depariment is tempted to picture the upheaval and consternation that would have oe- curred in a former "circumlocution of- fice," such as was described by Dicks ens, had a bustling young woman of Miss Kelly's type brought her personality to bear upon that dreary routine of red-tapery, But to return to those right-hand women of the national government who hail from Michigan. There is, for instance, Miss Clara Graecen, lawesclerk in the treasury de- partment. Rathér a strange--at least unusual--position for a woman, isn't it, that of law clerk ? Well, Miss Graecén holds that posi- tion, and her work is regarded by her associates and superiors as gilt-edged. Not yet twenty-five years old, Miss Graccen journeyed to Washington from Kalkoska, Mich., something over six years ago, determined to do some- thing for herself to n.ake a place for {herself in the world. | She preferred a place in the govern {ment service--and she got it. She got it without having any influence behind her; her only recommendation was her skill as a stevogiapher and typewri- ter, There happened to he a vacant place {in the office of the comptroller of the treasury, and a competitive examina- tion was held to determine the fitness of the applicants. Miss _ Graecen's expertness won her the pedition, and, once at work, she proceeded to demonstrate what she could do. Before long she was known at the most expert shorthand writer among her fellows, In course of time the position of law clerk in the treasury department be- came vacant, and, of course, there was a scramble for the coveted berth. Miss Graecen, much to the astonish ment of her fellow-clerks, made formal application for the place, She was not deterred an instant by the fact that a number of Washington lawyers were out for the job. business tered the and won. , Her position ranks among the best of those of women in the government employ, and her salary is $2000 a year. Miss Marie McNaughton, the last of the trio of Michigan girls, is a native of Grand Rapids. When the bureau of competitive examination-- the state department there was a position paying £2400 a year that looked exceedingly good to the Michi- gan girl. She entered the competitive examination, and won the prize. Because the work was hard was the principal reason for the comparatively high pay--high, at least, for women With the utmost confidence she en- | American republics was "established by ! 75s Clara Sraccen, Law Clerw employed in Uncle #am's great house- keeping establishment. A great deal of the work consisted of translating English into French for diplomatic purposes. Now, manv per- sons can translate French into Eng- lish, but to pu: English words and phrases into accurate French is quite another matter. A monthly magazine is published by the bureau, in which articles are giv- en in English, French and Spanish. A great deal of helpful work is done by Miss MacNaughton for this magazine. Another young woman who has proven an acceptable assistant to ncle Sam ig not personally known in the official circles at Washington, be- cause her work is some hundreds of miles away. This is Miss Phoebe Dietz, of Lock Haven, Pa., who was appointed, early this year, as deputy collector of internal revenue for the twelfth district of Pennsylvania, em- bracing the counties of Clinton, Cen- tre, Lycoming, Potter and a portion of Northumberland. Some time before this appointment Miss Dietz received considerable news- paper fame when she was elected clerk of the city council of Lock Haven, making a successful contest for the place over about cants. She is regarded as a careful and keen business woman. 12 Hour Cold Cure.
