Star Routes, Past and Present.

The report of the Second Assistant
Postmaster General, Brady's successor
contains an interesting table from which
an idea may be formed of The magni-
tude of the star route business under
the Haves administration Thirty one
routes in the southern and western pHr
tons of the country are selected. Un-
der the Brady regime these cost the enor-
nous sum of S729,G60 80 At present
they cost 1888 ,816-a saving of S445.-
1874 %. Here are few OF the routes,
with the compensation paid under the
ring and the compensation now paid:
RING PAY. PRES PAY
Monroe to Shreveport, 500. .3670 90 $11.800 90
Austin TO Fort Ooncho. 2S.60000 11,70OO0
Caldwell to Fort Sill, $4,000 90 $4,000
Bozeman to Miles City, 76.99995 2l.OUO0O
Del Norte to Ouray, 1926 81 1870 9O
Prescott to Mohave City, 2S,697.15 S.420 90
Redding to Roseburg, S9,OOO.OO 4S,22O00
1t will be seen that on nearly every
one OF the above named routes the COM
pensation has been reduced one-half,
and in some instances the reduction is
still heavier. 1t may be said that the
service is less efficient, but such is not
the fact The "trips'' made between the
different points are, with one or two ex-
ceptions, the same, while the distance
has been diminished in all less than one
hundred miles. 1t is fortunate for the
country's finances that Brady's marvel,
lous "expediiing" career has been cut
short. If his "hslcyon and vociferous
proceedings" had been allowed to go on
there would be, in all probability, a de
felt in the Treasury this year.-N. 7,

were accompanied by Harry, another
son of Mr. Wilkinson. aged about Z
years The older boys did not want
him to 60 along, but he received per-
mission from his mother to accompany
them After watering the borses, Har-
ry wished to lead spring colt, and was
allowed by the other boys to DO so.-
After going short distance the little
boy complained that his hands were
cold, and the other boys said they could
soon fx that, and fastened the halter
strap to the boy's wrist so he could put
his hand. in his pockets. The colt went
along all right for short distance, but
became frightened at something and
made break, jerking the boy off his
feet At the first jump OF the colt the
boy was jerked eighteen feet through
the air before hitting the ground, and
the next, twenty feet. The colt ran on
in its wild career, and in going through
q gate the hov's head came in contact
with the post, literally ruashing it to a

The Disappointed Valentine-Seeker,

The day before ST. Valentines day, a
man went into the Austin book store
and said he would like to look at some
valentines. Heswas Shown to the coun-
ter, and told to make his selections.
''Have yeu got picture of a man
with red wart on his nose, and mouth
like he had been born trying to say
gum mucilageP' -
The clerk shook his head and said he
had almost any other style of beauty,
and showed him pictures of almost every
other type.
The would-be customer shook his
head sadly, and said none of them
would suit.
Its just my hard luck to have a
brother-in-law with one nose on top of
another and mouth with a rim like
wagon tire, so that | couldn't get val
entine to fit him. | believe he was made
that way on purpose to annoy me- and
he strolled out signing as if his heart
would break. This is q world of disap-
pointments. SiJiings.
