Not for His Health.

A Rocky Mountain story with a moral
was related to me by Judge Mackey
yesterday.

acters met Rocky Mountain pie vender.
He was big, fat fellow, and hIs puffed-
out cheeks looked as though he had two
rosy apples in them. HIS appearance
reminded me very much of the Jack of
Clubs in a deck of cards. / bought
small slice Of cast iron pie and tin cup
of milk from him, and after devouring
the tough repast meekly inquired the
cost of the two articles. With look Of
satisfaction the rosy faced Jack Of Clubs
said:
"Stranger, one piece of fpooseberry pie
seventy-fve cents, one glass Of cows
milk fifty cents; in all, stranger, ore dol
lar twenty five
"sWhat,' said in astonishment, one
dollar and twenty-five nts for such a
trife. Whv, ! can get more pie and
milk than that in Washington for ten
cents
"'Look a-here stranger said Jack Of
Clubs with arms akimbo and looking me

ment." said the Judge. Washington

DELAYED LETTERS.
The Fault with the Public and Not
with the Postmaster.

"In view of the fact that over 50,O00,.
600 parcels of mail matter are annually
delivered from this office, and over 2OO,-
100000 annually sent from it, is it
strange said Postmaster Tobey to re-
porter, that errors occasionally occur?'
"Thele is one thing" continued the
postmaster, 'that we constantly impress
on the minds of our employees, and that
is that they must at all times be cour
teous and polite, however irritating the
the public may be, when supposing the
management of the Office at fault. 1t
would be an act of simple justice On the
part of anyone who may have cause for
complaint, real or imaginary, to make it
known to the postmaster direct, thereby
giving him the opportunity to investigate
the matter, and apply remedy, ifany
is needed, instead of complaining to tn
public and creating a very erroneous i'm
preston as to the efficiency of the SER
vice generally
The statement that letters are often
delayed at this Office is an erroneous one.
1t will be seen at glance that the orig
inal fault is with the senders in not pre-
paying at least one rate of postage. l
one full rate is paid, namely, two cents,
no matter how much more postage may
be required, the letter will be delivered
at once, and the deficient amount COL
lected on delivery. If to be delivered in
the city tn carrier must pay the postage
before taking it from the Office and COL
lect it from the addressee on delivery.
This, as you will see, occasions no delay"
"How if letter is addressed to box?"
I'm that case notice is at once placed
in the box requesting the addressed to
call at section three in the postoffice, pay
the extra postage and receive the letter.
1t is not a red-tape regulation of the Bos-
ton postoffica, but postal law, requiring
full payment of postage to be made on
all mail matter before delivery. These
letters ! have referred to are unknown
in the department as 'shor: paid letters
The letters upon which full rate has not
been paid are designated as held for
postaye letters and can not be delivered
by law until the full postage is paid by
either the writer or the adressee. When
the writer's address is on the envelope
the letter is at once returned for the
necessary posta,e, but If the envelope
does not bear the address of the writer

with bitter tears fast dropping down,
And stood again upon the height
And gazed DER valley, hill and town
Where does she walk-my friend to-day?
To mission fields her path has led;
No springing grass beneath her feet
No apple blossoms overhead.
Mid burning sands and tropic heats,
Her busy life is passing now.
Doing the Masters work. Perchance
A starry crown awaits her brow.
My life is passed with little cares,
And lit lie duties day by day;
Longing for one whose hands are filed
With grander work so far away.

Mid Heavens perfect sumner weather
Beyond Sll parting chill or change

One of the earliest attempts to make

England, who, for his own Use. con-
structed clumsy article from the main
spring of watch.
Steel Pens were first brought into use
about the year 1908.

Teacher listen, Johnny. If

Johnny-We amt had peach in the

Teacher-We are only suPposing the
peaches to be on the table, Johnny.
Johnny-Then they wouldn't be real

Teacher-No.
Johnny-Would they be preserved
peaches?
Teacher-Certainly not.
Johnny-Pickled peaches?
Teacher-No, no. There wouldn't be
any peaches at all, as l told you, Johnny;
we only suppose the three peaches to be
there.
Johnny-Then there wouldn't be any
peaches, of course.
Teacher-Now. Johnny, put that
knife in your pocket or l will take it
away, and pay attention to what l am
saying. We imagine three peaches to
be on the table.
Johnny-Yes.
Teacher-And your little sister eats
one of them and then goes away.
Jehnny-Yes, but she wouldn't go
away until she had finished the three.
You don't my little sister.
Teacher-But suppose yonr mother
was there, and wouldn't let her eat but
one?
Johnny-Mother's out of town, and
won't be back till next week.
Teacher (sternly)-Now, Johnny, /
will put the question once more, and if
you do not answer it correctly 1 shall
keep you after school. If three peaches
were on the table, and your little sister
were to eatE one of them, how many

As TWO out of twenty-five Presidents
have been assassinated, or about 10 per
cent, the risk in life insurance is extra
hazardous. 1t is said that Arthur had a
policy of $4,000 on entering the Office
of Vice President, and that after becom-
ing President he obtained a second for
the same amonnt. Five thousand dol
lars were lost on Lincoln and twelve on
Garfield. Cleveland had policies for
$4,000, all issued before his election,
and month ago application was made
for $4,000 more. This will be granted
at ordinary rates.
