For NEWSPAPER Thieves.

The new postal law recently put into
force by the postollice department
makes the taking of a newspaper and
refusing to pay for the same theft,
and anybody guilty of such an action
is liable to criminal proceedings the
same as if he had stolen goods to the
amount of the subscription. Hereafter
il will not be considered Il very shrewd
scheme TO take 4 newspaper for Il year
and then inform the publisher that you
never ordered it.-ErchdHgc.
How abou, sending Il paper without
having been ordered to do so, and then
compelling the subscriber (?) TO pay
for it? That is what might be termed
pretty nearly akin to blackmail,
according TO our notion. And yet
there are scores of publishers who do
that thing from year TO year. Such
law is simply infamous and ought to be
wiped out. On the same theory. the
farmer who sends n peck of apples or
n choice watermelon TO his county
paper should sue for the amount the
stuff was worth or brand the editor
who received them as n thief in case no
refused payment. There is only one
correct way to subscribe for news
paper and that is to pay for it for such
n time as YOU need it, and if the pub.
fishers send it after the time paid for
they should be the losers. Kansas CITY

1t was unfortunate because she was

her friends were there to see her of,
and she had no chance to explain it

and It was not dissipated habits or
strong tastes, but simply another cx-
ample of the craze for brc-a-brac But
she is gone and the young gentlemen
who had dotted upon her. the fellows
who had looked upon her rs a high and
brilliant specimen of femalety. came
nome from the good-by matinee with
sore and disilusionizcd hearts. 1t was
Il very pretty jar. The gentleman who
had been her host had packed up TWO.
and he sent them home. They were to
be decorated. One had Marquis of

But they were unique. pretty jars.
Men may have seen them. but the fe
male bric-a-brac hunter saw artistic
beauty in them men never looked for.
Hers was "Jeroboam" All her trunks
were packed and gone. She was WHIP
ing the tears from her eyes. for she
did not want to go home. She had
such good time ooh, said the
hostess, suddenly, Il declare, you've

do?"
'Jeroboamr' she said, my Zero
boam:' leave my 'Jeroboam' behind!
Never! Nevcr!'
How can we take it?'
II will carry it,
So she took Jcroboam and kissed it
tcnderly, and she seized Il piece of deli
cate yellow ribbon and tied it equally
tenderly around Jeroboam neck; then
she took it gracefully in her arms and
bore it off. and as she passed into the
ferry she saw her Jeroboam was at
tracing great deal of attention. Ev-
erybody looked at il and turned away.
She was proud of Jeroboam. Then. af-
ter this had gone on for half IN hour
and the boat was nearly at Oakland, the
host said:
II guess you might as well let me fill
it,"
.'Fill it! What do you mean?"
well. it might as well be full, since
everybody can see what it is supposed
TO contain"

Then she took a long look at Jeroboam
and found that all the time she had been

Emperor William, at 80 years of age,
is still a very busy man. and has his
days work cut out for him as regular
ly as any state official. For several
years past he has pursued the same
routine. He rises every morning, even
in winter, at 1880, and dresses at once
for the day, disdaining to use either
dressing gown or slippers. Another
account describes him as failing rapid
ly. His face is shrunken and his flesh
has shriveled. He daily becomes %leaner,
and his legs are notably weak and tot
tering. Yet he sticks to his work.
