The Origin OrCaIiCO.


The word calico" has a queer origin.
Many centuries ago the first monarch of
the province of MHlabar gave to one of
his chiefs, as reward Ior distinguished
services, his sword and all the land
within the limit of which cock growing
at a certain temple could he heard. From
the circumstances the little town which
grew up in the center OF this territory
was called Calicuda or the cock Growing.
Afterwards il was called Calicut, and
from this place the first cotton goods
were imported INTO England, bearing the
name of calico.

compelled to pay fine for the privilege
of using his brush in the artistic decora-

rhe Cow Followed Him I" Town.

A combination of cuored man, cow
and rope was bagged by officials this
morning The man and COW were close
" associated by means ct rope, one
end of which was attached to The horns
OF a cow and the other end to the mans
hand When the man WIS questioned
he said the cow did not belong to him;
didn't know who it belonged to- "liow
is it that YOU have the cow" asked an
officer. II don know, sab. jest picked
up a piece o. rope and the COW followed
me along to town" But the man did
not give a satisfactory explanation as to
how the COW got that rope around her
horns. He will probably undertake the
solution of the problem before his hon

They are Young, too; not one beng over

charged with entering Mrs. Smith'sstore.
They had large quantity ofthe iewelry,

will land in the penitentiary before they
are many years older.

NOT A FAIR DEAL.

The San Antonio Postofflce Short
handed--More Clerical Help
Necessary to do Good
Business.
The postoffice department for the
past four years has been most bitterly
complained of in the west on account
of the inefficiency of its service, and il
is simple truth to say that this inef.
ficiency is largely due to the INSULT
cheney of the appropriations for cleri-
cal service. st. Louis has been long
and loud in her complaints aud Post
master Hyde charges that for four
years the service in that Office has
suffered because the clerks were over
worked and underpaid and that no
redress could be got at the depart
ment in Washington.
Postmaster Howard of San Antonio
made the same complaint, and met
with the same treatment. The cry
was no money for the service.
Now comes the new incumbent of
the Office Mr.. Sam Johnson and he
bears out the complaints of his prede-
cessor. He says that 1t is utterly
impossible to do the work of the office
as it should be done with the present
force. The distributing clerk cannot
do the work of this Office as it should
be done promptly and keep the work
of the office up. The only way that
the service is accomplished is by
working over hours and bringing up
at night what has not been done dur
ing the day, so that it is ready for
next days mailing and thus leaves
mail unsent that should 60 at once to
its destination. The carriers alone
are not overworked as eight hours a
day service is all that the law i'm
poses upon them, but other clerks in
the registry, distributing and mailing
departments are worked from twelve
to sixteen hours, I'm the vain attempt
to keep up with the work of the Office.
No one can watch the work of the
how crowded everything is, how
hurried are all the movements with
In the office and how piled up
are all the mailing tables with
matter. The volume of transac-
tions at this office is immense for the
clerical force employed. These three
trunk lines of railroad and the local
routes call for the handling of four
teen mails day, and any one who
watches heavy mail train piled up |
with bags can form his own opinion |
how long it will take one distributing
clerk and one mailing clerk to get
away with about fourteen cargOes
of that kind. The work cannot be
kept up under such strain and it
is not right for Uncle Sam to work
his employees in this manner. 1t is
too much like the policy of slop tailor
shops where everyone is overworked
and the soul ground out by exhaus-
tive labor and unnatural hours.
San Antonio post Office should have
additional clerical force. 1t needs it
in justice to the employees and in
justice to the patrons of this office.
