At the Rink.

A light attendance greeted the great
western rink combination at the rink last
night because of the extremely bad
weather, At o'clock Miss Minnie Doug>
lass made her appearance on roller skates.
She is only seven years of age and splen>
didly dressed for the occasion. She is an
extraordinary skater for one of her age,
she skates very rapid and easy, and un>
derstands the specialties well. She imi-
tates train of cars in skating going up
grade and at high speed, she also INDUCED
in skipping rope exercise, Her last act
was the placing of sixteen empty bottles
on the floor less than foot apart, around
which she described the figure s. Warren
Wood, abicyclist. was the next performer
who went through a series of balancing
feats, leaving his machine in full motion.
He turned a summersault on the floor
and remounted without checking its
speed. Then he went on the single wheel
after taking Off the little wheel. Last
came S. F. Smith, the finest roller skater
that ever appeared here. He was dressed
in an outlandish costume of the dude Or
der, with fan in one hand and cane in
the other, and united with his agility the
art of a comedian, giving an indescriba-
bly, taking performance. Dropping his
handkerchief he skated off, in returning
circle, spread his legs and picked up his
handkerchief with his teeth. On being
recalled he played the awkward beginner
to perfection, and a second recall was re-
sponded to by simply spreading his legs
and bowling till his head touched the
floor. Another performance will be given
at the rink on Saturday evening, when a
large crowd should be present, as it is the
finest entertainment that has been given
at the rink this season.

The Hotel Colfax

This summer resort near the "Old
Magnetism Chalybeate" and "Colfax"
mineral springs, at Colfax, Iowa, "a miles
east of Des Moines and 1873 west of Chi
cago, on the Rock Island & Pacific rails
way, will be opened May 6 for the season
of 1885. This splendid hotel can accoms
modate 300 hundred guests. All It's ap-
pointments are first class, Its tables are

The Duties Of Postal Clerks.

The lot of a postal clerk is not happy
one. His pay is not large. the work is
very hard and his life is in constant jeop>
ardy. To hold bis position he must pos,
sess the brains of a lawyer and the
strength ola hod carrier, and lack of
either will disqualify him for the position
The particular knowledge required of the
postal clerks is of such nature that they
must certainly study to become ordinarily
efficient. The best way to find this out is
by practical experience, but If you are
shown the methods of examining these
clerks you will readily understand its
difficult nature. For instance, clerk is
called in for examination-which all new
appointees must undergo after the first
six months service and at irregular inter-
walls thereafter no matter how long he
has been in the service. He comes to the
office of the chief clerk and he is seated
before case containing large number
of pigeon holes labeled with the names of
all the railways in the state, main lines
and branches, and also the names of the
larger or distributing points for the star
routes or hack lines to the small places.
He is also provided with 1914 cards upon
which is written the names of every post
office in the state. The clerk is expected
to know the county in which each office
is located, if upon line of railway or
not, and how it can be reached in the
quickest and most direct way. Not only
must he know the location and how to
reach it, but he is obliged to know the
time tables of the various roads and thus
determine the precise hour when letter
should reach its destination. So he must
distribute all these 1914 cards in their
proper places and upon the accuracy of
this examination depends continuation in
the service. If he falls below 90 per cent
he does not reach the high standard of
efficacy and accuracy exactcd by the de-
partment In order to keep thoroughly
posted, the mail clerks must note all the
newly established postoffices, and while
off duty put in their time studying the
railway time tables and such changes as
are constantly being made in the mail
routes. Just such work as this is requir,
ed in the mail cars as they go across the
country at the rate of forty miles an hour,
and not only must they possess this fa>
miliarity with the postoffice of the state
but are also expected to be equally well
acquainted with the general location of
the offices in the adjoining states. The
salary of these clerks do not go beyond
Sis per month, and of all the servants
of the government these men do the most
work for the least money
