The people Of Fergus county have just
cause to complain Of our present mail serv-
ice. II never has been any too good. but
rs the country grew older and business in
creased it was reasonable to- expect change
for the better. The delay and tie-up la st
week was the most vexatious and trying
in the history of the county. These delays
gene rally occur Immediately after election
or after some other important event has
taken place. and when people are anxiously
awaiting the latest news. II is bad enough
to live SO far from telegra phic and railroad
communication without being compelled To
submit tn wretched mail service-such as
the Montana Stage company gave us last
week.
Great Falls and Helena from Tuesday until
sunday noon. While Maiden had to wait
until Monday night. There is no excuse
for this state Of afiairs. II the first light
snow fall knocks out the stage company for
a week what can we expect when the rigcrs
of winter are upon us?
A well regulated stage line should be pre-
pared for storms, have extra stock and he
able to put on relays in an emergency. 1t
is pitiful to see horses leave town ON three
legs right in the midst of II horse-growine
region. 1t makes us think every town
sho uld have humane society.
The people are entitled to better service
nd it can be secured. We have represen-
tatives in Washington who will make it IA
| part Of their business TO see that we get it.
We are all willing to put up with reason
able delays but nothing more.

For nimble ingenuity in the pursuit Of
coin the blue uniformed dispatch boy
cannot be beaten.
Yesterday overheard a conversation
between two of the hopefuls, from which
the company might be able to locate the
many calls that are answered "Not
wanted"
A lady living on Park avenue called
for messenger boy, and boy No. 4-11-44
was sent out of the office to answer the
call. He reached the house and was told
by the lady to take letter which was
given to him way up town. He said that
the tariff would be sixty cents, which
the lady paid, and said that there would
be no answer.
On the street the boy met No. 5-l2-55,
and learning that he was off duty i'm
mediately arranged that 5-12-55 should
deliver the letter. He 4-11-44) would &c
back to the office and report that the call
was a mistake. The sixty cents which
he had received from the lady would be
divided equally between them and the
company would lose that amount Of
money. The thirty cents was duly trans
ferred to 5-12-55 and with the letter he
went off uptown, while 4-11-44 reported
at the office mot wanted. New Yorl

Death Rate of Ministers.

Comparing the death rate of ministers,
in respect of the causes of death, with
the mortality of other men, the following
results are obtained: OF S6,331 clergy
men, $50 died of infectious diseases. The
usual experience of an insurance COM
pany would have made the number 239;
that is, the mortality of the clergymen
was only 20 per cent. of the ordinary
death rate. The death rate of physicians
from these diseases was 1877 above the
usual rate, pointing to the greater danger
of contagion in the case of the physician
than in that of the pastor.
OF lung affections, excluding consump-
ton, 81 clergymen died, instead of 32S,
the number expected from mortality
tables. Physicians died of such diseases
lis per cent. above the average rate. Be
tween the ages of 26 and As the mortality
of Roman Catholic clergymen compared
with Protestant ministers of the same age
was as 1877 to 1909, while between the ages
of 46 and IS the difference was as 154 to
100, and between the ages of 65 and IS as
11S to 100. How to explain this striking
difference is no easy task. 1t is suggest
ed that it may be connected with the life
of cehbacy followed by the priests, also
with the rigid penances of Catholic eccle-
siastics, which, especially in the case of
young men, are aptto derange the diges-
