An old resident in Vermont tells the
following story, belonging TO his past ex-
p~erience as u country postmaster:
1t happened N spring when the mud
wa almost up to the horses knees that
we had no mail for three days. The con-
sequence was hat the three days batch,
consisting of nine bags, came in late one
night as / was about going to bed. / de-
termined to delay distribution until
morning, and fell asleep rather harassed
at the thought of SO large a task.
Next day l rose early and went into
the office to open my mail bags. They
were gonel The corner where l always
left them was quite empty. and my heart
began to beat loud and fast. The mail
had been delivered to me, / was respon-
sible for it, and it was not to be found.
Presently, as 1 stared about, the big
drops of sweat gathering on my fore
head, i noticed small packages of letters
lying in the places where 1 was accus-
toned to leave them before sending them
out into the several districts by the farm
ers who came to town. Hooked further;
the mail was all distributed. Then 1
turned TO the spot where l always threw
the empty bags after finishing my work.
There they lay, collapsed and empty.
Now you know exactly as much about
this story as l know myself. 1t seems
very evident to me that l rose in my
sleep, impressed by the unusual task
before me, and finished it mechanically.
l had never beer n sleep walker before
and | never did such a thing again.

"Here is ore that may suit you, miss"
remarked the obllging saleswoman, pro-
ducing a vase in which the shopper de-
tected and pointed out a flaw.
THAT oh, lots of people buy an
as is when they can get it cheap. That
little chip probably never would be
noticed, and IL it were it might have
been made by n servant. Your friends
never would know the difference, miss"
The defective bit Of pottery was
marked both 'as is and "P. NJ" in
addition to the selling price and the
information that it had been marked
down from 81. A reporter who noticed
the cabalistic symbols inquired what
they meant.
"As isf replied the clerk, as she ad-
justed the wig of a French doll and
turned her back on a middle aged wo-
man from the rural districts. THAT
means as it is You take your own
risk when you buy an article marked
as is and such goods are not eI-
changed. Generally as is mean that
the goods are to be gotten rid of, eve
at a sacrifice. No, the mark does not
always indicate a defect like the chip
in that vase. Sometimes remnants are
sold at short measure just to get rid of
them. For instance, eight and a half
yards of cloth might be sold as 1t is
for the price of eight yards. So you
see the customer sometimes gets the
benefit.
What does p. M meant That
goods so marked are not going fast
enough and that the salesman gets a 8
per cent. commission on the sale"
Then such goods are not very de-
sirablef'
Sometimes you can find bargains in
them. We always have a good many
p. M and as is goods after the holi-
day trade. Sometimes the pattern Is
not popular or the goods are going out
of season and they are marked p M
to make them sell a little faster. New

These have been quite a number of
serious accidents-some attended by
fatal consequences-through people be-
ing ridden over by cyclists. In all Of
these cases the evidence goes to indicate
excessive speed as the prime cause.
There is a pace, especially when going
down hill, which practically deprives
the rider of all control over his machine.
He can guide it, but that is all. AS for
pulling up quickly, as well might the
engine driver of an express train attempt
to do so. Nor even in the matter of
guiding has the cyclist a free hand. Amy
large deviation from the straight line of
his course would, if he were pelting
along at the rate of eighteen or twenty
miles an hour, inevitably cause IN up
set. He has nothing for it, therefore,
but to trust to luck and the chapter OF
accidents, which he does with a a
froid that would be truly admirable
were it not so largely tinctured with
recklessness.
When he mounts to the brow of a
steep hill and looks down at the decline
stretching out before him he knows per-
fectly well that If he once allows his
steel steed to take charge" there can be
no attempt to pull up until the bottom
is reached. Equally aware is he that
by timely application of the brake and
by back pedaling' the machine a be
kept at a moderate pace, admitting Of
guidance and of stopping. But because
it is a pleasant rush down hill at the
speed of a racer without any e1ertion he
takes his feet off the pedals, sets his
teeth tight and, to use his own express
sion, ''lets her slide" The result is that
if any pedestrian chances to block his
way-being perhaps too deaf to hear the
warning bella fearful collision takes
place, end one or the other is killed.
Cyclists nave yet to learn, apparently,
that the responsibility of keeping clear
of people on foot rests on the drivers of
vehicles.-London Graphic.

THE OULD PLAID SHAWL

Not far from ould Kinvara, in the merry month
of May
When birds were singing cheenly, there came
across my way
As if from out the sky above an angel Glanced to
fall,
A little Irish Calm in an ouId plaid shawl
1 courteously saluted her-"God save you, miss"
saysI;
God save you, kindly. sir, " said she and shyiy
passed me by;
on went my heart along with her, a captive In
her thrall,
Imprisoned In the corner OF her ouid PLAID shawl
I've heard OF highway robbers that with pistols
and with knives
Made trembling travellers yield them up their
money or their lives
But think OF me that handed out my heart and
head and all
To a simple little Calm In an ould plaid shawl
Obi Soma men sigh for riches. and some men live
for fame,
And some on histOrys pages hope to win a gio-
rious name;
Ny aims are not ambitious. and my wishes are
You might wrap them all together In an ould
plaid shawl.
IN seek her all through Galway. and I'll seek her
all through Clare.
I'll search for tale or tidings Of my traveller every
where,
For peace of mind III never ind until my own 1
call
That little Irish Calm in her ould plaid shawl. :

A mass of 90, 900 900 tons of pure,
solid. compact rock salt. located on an
island 1856 feet high, which rises from a
miserable sea marsh on the route from
Brashear to New IBERIA, up the river
Teche in Louisiana, is one of the won
ders of the world. How this island,
which contains over 800 acres of excel
lent land, ever came into existence in
such IA locality is n matter Of conjecture.
Vegetation is prolific and the scenery is
beautiful and varied. In the center of
this island, which is the only solid spot
in the vast expanse of sea marsh for
miles around, rises Salt peak, the largest
body OF exposed rock salt In the world.
Having never been surveyed, its exact
extent is as yet unknown. However, En-
gineer Brown, who has visited it, says
that there is not less than 90, 000, 900
tons of pure crystal salt in sight. The
dazzling clearness of Salt peak forms n
striking contrast with somber lagoons,
bayous and salt marshes which surround
it On all sides.-St. Louis Republic.

A sketch of the Sussex character
could not pretend to completeness in
the smallest sense il the question of
humor were entirely left out. The
South Saxon is, as might be expected,
heavy in this as IN all else. There Is
nothing Keen or delicate about his per
ception of the ludicrous, nor is there,
ON the other hand, much that is Ill
natured. Take the following illustra-
ton. 1t is a true story, told me by a
clergyman as having happened in his
W parish no great while since.
Obliged to be absent from the duties
of his church or a certain Sabbath, he
had secured the services of a very wise,
grave and reverend ecclesiastic for that
day. The latter was a man of great
reputation. The only doubt his friend
had was whether the visitor was not
too learned for the country folk that he
in the following week, the clergyman
fastened to his parish clerk to inquire
how the services of the preceding Sum
day had passed off-in particular, now
he had liked the ermon
sob, sir" said the old clerk in an
ecstasy, ''it vas the finest sermon that
l ever heard. l wouldn't presume to
of it."

In order to guard against results utterly

the bile is misdirected into the blood; the
liver becomes torpid; viscid bilious mat
ter gets into the stomach and produces
indigestion; headaches ensue AMI other
symptoms are produced, while a prolonga-
ton of the exciting cause only tends to
aggravate. The aperient properties OF
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters constitute a
most useful agent in overcoming constric-
ton of the bowels ard promoting a regu-
lar habit of that body 1t is infinitely su-
perior to the drastic cathartics frequently
used for the purpose, since it does not,
like them, act violently, but produces a

The Sun tries to draw a parallel be
tween the case of A. C. Snyder and that
of John S. Morrison of 1916 Douglas
street, Omaha, Neb. Mr.. Snyder re-
moved his family from here to Ogden
with che intention of making the latter
town his home. Ills residence here he
rented, When he left here Mr.. Snyder
was a member Of the school board. His
term had not expired when he. returned
here with his family to occupy his own
house, bought an interest in an establish
ed business aud commenced what every
body knows is a bona 6de residence. He
was invited by the other members 20 re-
sumo his seat 10 the school board and as
no objection was raised and his re-en-
trance into the board had not then and
has not now any political significance he
has since maintained his place in the
board
Mr.. Morrison eft the county under al
most precisely similar circumstances to
Mr.. Snyder. He sold out his household
goods here and took his family with him.
After five months he returns. His family
remain at his home in Omaha. During

The newsboys ~frequenting the City
Hall park at night have invented a new
sort of baseball game, which they
play when the sparrow" policemen
are not about. They usually choose the
long, brightly lighted wall in front of
the city hall for the game, and nearly
every night they attract a crowd of pc
destrians by their play. The difference
between their game and the real game
il that instead of throwing and batting
& ball they place it on the ground and
the boy whose Ginning" it is rushes
along and kicks the sphere as far as he
can, after which he scampers to a base.
The rest of the game is the same as base
ball, and the little fellows seem to enjoy
il hugely.-New York Star.

4 THE Sun thinks the capitol commission
acted unwisely 10 opposing a free public
ball at the capitol on celebration day. 1t
is claimed that it would otherwise have
been a great injustice to the people. Who
are the people? Are they the individuals
who can afford to pay 50 so for a ball
ticket or are they the citizens at large re-
gardless of whether or not they can afford
a ticket? 1t is a proad thing to be a
state, but let US not put on too many So
cial frills at a public celebration.
