don't they borrow or import Hubert o. Thompson

Democracy, and we can easily afford to spare him
for long term of years In that way. too, we

The merchants who complain In to-days
,TRrBUNe of the Losses they sustain because OF
the inefficient mail service to South America
are deserving of sympathy. But they will get
none from Postmaster-General Villas and
the President. Mr.. Villas probably thinks
that it is condescension on his part to
arrange to send any mails whatever to
South America. II he had his way he would
save the expense of South American mails and
use the money to increase facilities in Wis
consln 80 az to further his ambition to get
elected to the Senate. He has saved few
dollars on South American mails, but at
enormous expense to the country. Naturally
the merchants cannot understand why. after
years of work in building up trade with that
country, 1t should be sacrificed because Villas
refused to carry out law Of Congress. In
recent case If took forty three days for letter
to reach Peru. where formerly it took only
twenty-six. 1t appears that even In the do
mest,c mails the delays are such as to exasper'
ate members Of Congress This comes from
discharging experienced postal clerks to make
places for Democrats. 1t is the price the
country pays for Democratic reform.

How a Dog Got Rid of FIeas.

A Lewiston attorney is backed up by
a Lewiston physician in his assertion
that the following dog story is absolute
" true. the occurrence having come
under the observation of the physician
at Old Orchard this summer and related
to the attorney upon honor: An intel
ligent dog was afflicted by fleas. They
clouded his existence il we may believe
appearances, since for four-ffths of the
time the intelligent dog was tied up IN
a double bow knot fighting the smaller
and less intelligent but more nimble
flea He had chewed the hair from his
sides, and his eye was lackluster. The
NANCY canine decided to take bath in
the waves of the ocean and in SO doing
discovered that, as the sea water height
ened upon his legs and sides and back
the feas fed before it as, ever, the
wicked flee. Soon after the dog was
seen backing out into water, smile
growing over his countenance as an
idea took possession of him. He was
next seen with huge wad of cotton in
his mouth. With fhis, lifted aloft, he
backed slowly out. The feas crawled
higher as the sea water rose about him.
They occupied his back and then his
head, made uncomfortable as they were
by the sea water. Then at last as the
dogs head sank very slowly beneath the
waves the multitude vacated il, jump
ing to the wad of cotton that was float
ing just at the dogs nose. The feas
floated away forever on the tickle wad
of cotton while the dog swan ashore to
be forever embalmed in history by the
story of the doctor and the lawyer and
the newspaper.-Le~iston Journal.

this trait is especially prominent in
monkeys. but thousands of incidents
might be cited to show that mankind,
oil and young, shares it with them.
The altitude and the sagacity of
monkeys are so human that some saw
ages believe that it is out Of malicious
ness that they do not talk. In fact, a
monkey might pass for dumb man
because he does not articulate the
consOnants clearly, as we do; but not
all men have this power of articulation
in an equal degree. We have STAN
merers by birth and by habit Some
savage tribes have scanty alphabet

cultural sounds that can not be

monkeys have voices, and N any of

of the physiognomieal changes which
