The experiment of compulsory Insur-

The days of the present style of letter
box are numbered. The postoffice au-
thorities not long ago called upon the in
ventors Of the country to invent q new
letter-box that would keep its contents
secure from thieves and the weather. One
hundred and forty designs were submit
ted The one that was accepted has
slot that is not visible until knob is
pulled down. This opens the slot and
raises tray inside the box. The letter
falls upon the tray, and upon releasing
the knob the tray drops and the letter is
secure. While the slot is open the tray
protects the letters previously dropped in
the box. The new boxes will be substi-
stuffed for those now in use as fast as the
latter become damaged.
The plan for recolonizing deserted parts
of Vermont with Swedish families is re-
ceiving cordial support. The need of ac-
ton is strongly indicated by reports
which are sent to Commissioner Valen-
tine. One man writes that in 1912 GER
tam farms in his town were assessed at
some So per acre, and in 1886 the same
property was valued at 81 per acre less;
and still great part, where they have
been sold, do not bring the present ap-
praisal. Probably in one-thlrd of the
town, where there were in the memory OF
the oldest inhabitant the best farms and
the most prosperous farmers, the build
iugs are now going and have already gone
to decay, and what were a few years ago
fertile fields are used for pasturage, and
fast growing again to timber. He thinks
he can safely say that 1000 acres can be
purchased in his town alone, and of this
amount about one-half are in farms
of from seventy to two hundred acres,
which could be bought for from three to
four dollars per acre. The remaining
half are lands which formerly comprised
good farms, but with buildings now gone
and fast growing up to timber. Some
are used for pasturage and on other
farms the fences are not kept up. There
are miles of stone walls 10 testify to
former civilization, and these lands could
be bought for from one to two dollars per
acre.

A BEAUTIFUL young girl living near
Xenia, Ohio, sold herself last week to
man for $3.50, 1000, and neither from press
nor pulpit of the Buckeye state, neither
from society nor church, come any re-
monstrance or condemnation. 1t is true,
she got good price, but still one would
suppose that from some source would
come comment on the public sale of her
self by woman. The-sale is recorded
as follows: Squire James Anderson,
a $3.50, 600 bachelor, aged seventy-four
years, who resides in the northeastern
part of this county, was married last
evening to Miss Anna Nevins, beautiful
girl only seventeen years of age, much to
the surprise of the neighbors. The we'd
ding was at the new residence of the
groom, who gave his bride beautiful
presents and, by an ante-nuptiaI con-
tract, agreed that she should be his sole
heir. -

The Gazette Didn't Say It.

DALLAS. lex, Aug. e, lS,.
To the Gazette.
In the report of the meeting of the
Railroad and Travelling mems ass0ca-
ton, held at the Windsor hotel yester.
day, the Dallas News quoted me as say
ing: ''Too many of the officers chosen
were residents of Dallas, and already,
this had been complained of in one o.
the newspapers of q neighboring city"
What did say was, that in reading the
report of the Saturday night meeting in
THE GAZETTE, my attention was called
to the fact that every officer elected lived
in Dallas, and rendered my resignation,
recommending that Capt. b. B. Pad
dock be elected in my stead. THE GA
ZETTE IS report was fairly and correctly
made without comment, and was entirely
without prejudice of any kind. IWrits
this in justice to THE GAZETTE and nv
self. 1t was simply a mistake in The
News, and I viii call in and reques.
them to correct the wrong. Yours truly,

CLOSE on the heels of demands for
lowering the grand daughters of royalty
comes the news of the great strike in
London by which thousands of workmen
are compelled to quit work, and because
of dun trade four of the largest wooden
mills have had to shut down. Queen
Victoria has been diverting the people by
royal progresses to coal mines, but so far
it has not made trade any better, in
creased wages or oheapened bread. Pro-
crosses are about as unsatisfactory diet
as stones, and royalty has none of the
food-supplying clement of fish.

The charter of the new railroad of which ex-
Governor Hubbard is president-the Alexandria
and Northwestern-fixes the line indefinitely
through certain counties, but does not specific
ally name any towns or villages near whichit is
to run. 1t is stated that the managers will fol-
low the very general rule of railroad builders by
asking subsidies of money, right of way and de-
pot grounds from competing communities as
inducement for locating the line on any given
route. The point we desire to make is this
When these subsidies are offered and accepted
the quid pro quo will be given by the road in the
location of its route to touch certain points,
and will not confer the privilege on those COM
munities who grant the subsidies of controlling
the road after it is built. If this regulatory pow
er is part of the contract it ought to be stated
now and not claimed as an implied right after
the road is built.-[Wac Day.
Why not put it this way, neigh
Dor? When the quid pro quo is given by
a road in locating its route for a bonus,
does the exchange relieve the road of its
public character and make it purely
private corporation? If so, why should
private corporation be allowed to con-
denim private property in cases where
such private corporation exchanged a
location for a subsidy?

''-TECK or nothing has q significance
not usually known if Muldoon, the
trainer, is correct. He says when a
man s neck shows two long, deep burrows
running down on either side from his ears
he is in failing condition, although he
may be unconscious of any loss of
strength. The deduction is, that with
out good neck there is physical debility
and the man amounts to nothing as an
athlete; and more, such burrows indicate
rapid decay of vital force.

4 COMMITTEE OR A COMMISSION

Mr.. Blake's committee represented
the people in their contest with the
'powerful combination now exacting
an unjust tax from the people Of Texas
that is sitting and paralyzing her entire
productive interests;'' at least, that s
what the circular said that called the
famous freight-rate convention together.
The Dallas News represented the rail-
roads; at least, that paper says, in COM
menting on the result of the conven-
ton IS work, that the result agreed with
the position of that paper, viz. that no
one should do anything in the matter
except the "intelligent railroad man
agers'' themselves. And now the peo-
pie are wondering how extremes man
aged to meet, and what the Dallas
freight-rate convention was held for
anyhow? The people do not want to
leave this matter to the Grained sagacity
of capable railroad managers any more
than they want to leave it to the political
agitators. The people want settlement
of the question based upon a knowledge
of all the facts aud upon the idea that
there is identity of interest between peo-
pie and roads. And if there cannot be a
committee empowered to make official
investigation of the facts, there should
be a commission upon which the roads
would have representation, in order that
the people might not forever be subjected
to inflammatory speeches and circulars in
which they are told that "startling facts
and figures are being developed, - and
that ''now is the time to act, " and so
forth and so on.
Let the people and roads 'get to-
gether'' and settle this question, and
not leave it to circulars with their
''stifing and paralyzing' appeals to
the passions of men, or to the trained
sagacity of capable railroad managers. :"
