Tobacco for a Balky Horse.

Hickman Courier.
Quite crowd of boys and men stopped
the other day to watch a balky horse.
ssHit him with a club" said one. "Try
moral suasion on him." was the voice of
another. "Whisper oats in his ear and
he will CO." remarked third. The
owner belabored the animal with his
whip, jerked on the bits, and then tried
to coax the refractory beast, but all to
no purpose; the beast refused to move.
A quarter Of an hour later little,
old man, whose face reSemb!ed parch-
ment, approached the group and
addressing the owner of the immovable
piece of horsefesh, said: "Horse
balked?'' Eyes" replied the disconso-
late owner. "Can't make him bulge an
inch?' mot an inch?" ''Tried every
thing?" Everything l know of"
'.Tried tobacco?' mo; / never heard
of that remedy" The old man took a
plug of the weed from his pc cket, cut
off generous piece, and offered it to
the horse. The animal accepted the
weed, and, instantly forgetting his ugli-
ness, walked off without as much as
suggestion from his owner.

THE CARRIERS COMPLAINT.
What They Want and What the
Postmaster Thinks of It.

Postmaster Ankeny was interviewed
yesterday afternoon by GLOBE repre-
sentative in regard to the petition that
had been circulated among the clerks in
the Minneapolis office and forwarded to
the Hon. d. NJ. Dixinson, postmaster
general, at Washington. 81 have not
taken the trouble to investigate the mat
ter to any extent" he said, "but I'M
derstand that they want bill passed
similar to the S. S. Cox bill which.
fixes the salaries and hours
of the men from the start. The mail
carriers salary is 5000 the first year,
$500 the second and 81 900 the third, and
that is the largest amount that they re-
ceive. The clerks salaries in this office
are fixed by ME and range from $3.50 to
$3.50 year. The average of the fifty
clerks is something like 500 year."
The postmaster did not wish to express
any opinion as to what success he
thought the petition would meet with
OF whether he approved OF the scheme.
eff the salaries of the clerks" he con-
tinued, could be regulated by con
gress so as to range from S40O
to $1,000 or $500 a year it would
be great blessing to the post
masters all over the country, and espe-
cially in large cities. 1t would save
much trouble for the pOstmasterS and
have tendency to harmonic good
feeling among the clerks, who doubtless
may thirk that their salaries are I'M
justly regulated and that favOrs are ex-
tended to one more than another. That
may be true in some places, but run
this office according to my own ideas and
best ability" In regard to the hours
that the men average, he said: 81 don't
think that the men average over ten
hours day during the year. They may
have to work twelve or fourteen hours
during the busy season, about Christmas
time, but many days eight hours is all
that is required to do their work."
A similar petition has been circu-
lated among the clerks in all large
cities in the country, and delegates will
lie sent to Washington to make siren
GUS effort to have the bill passed. The
salary is not the main object that they
are fighting for; they demand vaca-
tion of from two to four weeks every
year. and think that their pay should
not be deducted. When one man is
away it does not generally necessitate
extra expense upon the Office, as the
clerks generally make it rule to help
each other out in their duties. The
mail carriers are allowed vacation of
two weeks every year with pay, by the
Cox bill, and perfect harmony
prevails among the carriers. The
total expense per month last year
was ss,01S, not including the
SALARY of Mr.. Ankeny, which is
So, $50 year. The expense for carries
was $3,3O5 per month, with a total
monthly expense of s6,6l5. The income
per month was SIS, 1856, making the net
income for the year about s145,745. If
about one-half of per cent of the net
income could be distributed in salaries
to the clerks, and allow them few days
a year for recreation, perfect harmony
and peace would undoubtedly prevail.

of small pearl-handled pen.

"NO, I must confess L do not like

bangs are at all wicked! Why

over her forehead as we'll as do her back
hair up in knott" And after propOund-

MY GUEST AND GUIDE.

One day passed beyond the haunts of man,
Into the somber depths of trGclless wood,
Where forest monarchs silent stood,
And where great Nature wrought its won
drous plan.
A startled squirrel rushed to frailest limb.
The birds, less timid, flew across my path
There, far from human Wretchedness or
wrath.
saw and felt the majesty of Him.
Of Him, unseen. yet known to wakeful eye 8,
The sole Creator of all earthly good,
Whose presence in that somber trackless
wood,
AS shield and guardian. was my glad sur
prise.
I walked with God, thro' solemn, wooded
aisles,
And gazed upon each towering elm and
oak,
Whose wide-swept boughs soft Zephyr's
echo spoke,
In whispered cadence that was heard for
miles.
Alive the forest seemed with vocal praise
AS on / strobe, alone, yet not alone
For He WAS there, whose potency we own.
Whose tender kindness cheers our gloomiest
days.
At sea, on land, in valley or in glen
On mountain summit or in sylvan wild,
The loving Father leads each wandering
child,
And saves, from snares and pitfalls, truant
men.

This is leap year, as many young man

to say that number of gentlemen have
been entertained in very cool way,
and used as ornaments and wall

The fortnightly musical entertain
ment and bail given at MalcOlm'S Dane

the Divert club was delightful affair
and will long be remembered by those
present. 1t was far more successful in
point of attendance than was antici-
pated by the members in charge, and a
neat little sum was Melted for the club.
The programme, which was very eX-
tensive and had been carefully pre-
pared was most successfully inter-
Spersed. 4 number of vocal solos were
rendered by the following ladies and
gentlemen: Miss Anna Fremstad, S.
Kriedt, G. w. Thomson, Miss Williams.
The piano solo by Miss Martha Kreutz
and the banjo duet by Messrs. Chap

L'ADDIO PENTEROSO!
We met but for a moments space

We met but for moments space
In restful summer time;
Love left its autumn in your face
And saddened all my rhyme.
From out the giddy crowd we crept,
For both desired TO know
The secret of the tears we wept,
The depth of sorrows snow.
Alas! The weary end must come,
The sad cross-way that points to home,
And thus it Is for both, dear heart!
We both regret and both expect,
We both have courage to reflect,
But not the strength to parti
IT'S pastl but how can forget
That night the moonlit lake!
The pause that made your eyelids wet,
My silence for your sake!
Could you but know, in after years,
What happened in Loves land;
left unheard another's tears,
Unclasped another hand.
Alas to both the weary end,
The lonely heart, the absent friend,
All pity me for this, dear heart!
One day perchance you'll recollec
Twas you had courage to reflect
And the strength to part?
