of grandeur and triumphant achieve
ment which he had never experienced
before. The world lay at his feet, and
he seemed to be striding over it in q
march of conquest II was glorious!
But all such sensations are unhappily
brief. Ola soon knew by his slackening
speed that he had reached the level
ground; yet so great was the impetus he
had received that he flew up the oppo-
site slope toward his fathers farm, and
only stopped some fifty feet below the
barn. His limbs ached, and the arm
which had held the staff was so stiff and
cramped that the slightest movement
gave him pain. Nevertheless, he could
not make up his mind to rest; he saw
the light put in the north window to
guide him, and he caught glimpse of
a pale, anxious face behind the window
pane, and knew that was his mother
who was waiting for him. And yet
those last fifty feet seemed miles to his
tired and aching legs. When he reached
the front door, his dog Yutul jumped up
on him in his joy and knocked him flat
down in the snow; and oh, what an eff
fort it took to rise! But no sooner had
he regained his feet, than he felt pair
of arms flung about his neck and he
sank, half laughing, half crying, into
his mothers embrace.
'Cheer up laddie," he heard some one
saying: Eye are fine chap and a
brave one!'
He knew his fathers voice; but he did
not look up; he was yet child enough to
feel happiest in his mothers arms

A Mistaken Marriage.

Some time ago gentleman we'll
known among commercial travellers,
stopped at a boarding house noted for
old time silverware and deep dishes.
The house was operated by a widow,
with whom Juckles, the traveller, fell
very much in love, that is commercially
in love, for Juckles has a wide open
eye for business. What Il fine house
this would be-, he unused. The widow
is very handsome and hasn't any par
ticular education, but hanged if it don't
stand man in hand to make the best
shift he can. I'll marry this woman
and have q home"
Next evening he requested business
interview with the woman, and while
they were seated in the parlOr, Juckles,
who can be very tender, said:
'Mrs. Hotzol, during my very short
stay in this house i have become very
much attached to YOU"
''Lor, Mr. Juckles."
Eyes, my dear, Mrs, Hotzol, am q
peculiar man and my love is ineXplica-
ble," and he looked atthe furniture. Il
have never been in love before"
''Lor, Mr.. Juckles."
my father wanted me to marry Il
rich girl once, beautiful creature, but
what is beauty when the soul is not
there?"
''Lor. Mr.. Juckles.'
''Now you are Il woman of soul, and
love you, love you with devotion
that knows no imitation, that cannot be
drowned"
'Lor," exclaimed Mrs. Hotzol, throw
ing herself into his arms. Il never
thought that SIGH streak of luckwould
strike me.
They were married the following light
and the next day Mrs. Juckles said; II
didn't know what l was a-goin' To do.
but providence has provided: you see
was hired to run this house while the
owner was away" Juckles turned away
and weeped. He had married a ser
want woman whose husband had died
in the penitentiary.-Ark. Irarcler.

THE PosTMAsTERs.
Postmasters throughout the country are
manifesting some uneasiness about the re-
suits of the readjustment of their salaries
that their income might not be cut down in
proportion to the reduction of postage, con-
gress last winter enacted new schedule of
postmasters' salaries. The new and old
schedule cannot be exactly compared, be-
cause there are differences i'm the graduation
of the Offices in each class, and because the
present schedule includes box rents, vari-
able element, and limits compensation
box rents to one sum IL the postmaster fur
nishes the boxes and to another IL he does
not. But making the comparison as closely
as possible between maximum compensa-
tons under the present schedule and the
fixed compensation under the new sched-
ule, 1t appears that the latter makes some
advance In the salaries. For example,
among the first-class offices where the gross
revenues are $40, 900 the present maximum
compensation is $3.50, and after. q new
schedule goes into effect the fixed salary
will be $4,000. Where the gross receipts
are $50, 600, the new schedule will raise the
pay from SIS, 900 maximum to So, 100. Where
the receipts are 100000, the pay will be
ceipts are $l50,0O0, the new salary will be
So, 600, though the present maximum Is S.
700. Where the receipts are $3.50, 900, the
new salary will be $500, and the present
maximum is $1,000. Where the receipts
are between $500, COO and 5000, 900, the new
salary will be s., 900. The present maxim
UNI ranges from $1,000 to 800. Under the
new schedule the maximum salary, $4,000,
will be paid where the receipts exceed
5000, 900. Under the present schedule the
maximum salary where the receipts are
100000 would be $3.50, and the same
where the receipts are 81, 500, 900 the salary
would be 81, 700, The reason for this ine-
quality is that part of the salary consists
of diminishing commission on the receipts
and two-tenths of per cent. of 81, COO, 900 is
more than one-tenth of per cent. of 81 $50,
600. The new schedule of specific salaries
obviates all these alterations On second
and third class offices comparisons are more
difficult, because large part of the pres
ent compensation is calculated on revenues
of the Office not to exceed q maximum of
81 $50, which is in addition to the revenue
from box rents and commissions where the
receipts exceed $4,000. Under the new
schedule, secOnd-class offices are those
whose receipts range from SIS, 600 to $40, 200,
and the salaries from $1,000 to s 900
Third-claSS offices are those whose receipts
are from 81 800 to $1,000, and the salaries
range from 81, 900 to 81, 900. In offices of the
fourth class pOStmasterS are now allowed
GO per cent. of the first 500 per quarter or
revenue, and so per cent. on revenues eX-
ceeding that, and not exceeding $500. The
new schedule allows the whole of the first
500 OF revenue per quarter, GO per cent. OF
the next 500, and 81 per cent. of the next
5000
