an increase of salaries. They are
hard working, efficient and deserving.
If any man earns the money that is
paid to him it is the letter carrier.
He must be strictly honest and of
more than ordinary industry and in
teliigence, and his business is of such
a nature that he must come and go
with the regularity of watch. In
fact, be must be more regular and
more certain than a good many
watches have proven to be. The
carriers do not ask for much of an in
crease, and, as their request is based
upon right and excellent service,
can be lost by acceding to
their wishes. These faithful servants
Of the public should be treated with
generosity. Very much depends upon
their efforts.

ONE WOMAN'S SWEET RE.
VENICE

There is woman In Missouri who
is reveling in the pleasant emotions
accompanying gratified revenge.
and who is enjoying to her fullest ex-
tent the discontinue of a hated
enemy. Anna Sneed Cairns is her
name, and she will pass into local bis.
tory rs member of the gentler sex
who had the courage to fight a whole
municipality and, although worsted
at first, to rise in the end superior 10
circumstances and her surroundings.
Mrs. Cairns is, or rather was, the
head of fashionable seminary for
young ladies at Kirkwood, Mo. To
be frank, it was a WI conducted TO-
s'itution, and it attracted to the place
a gOodly number of pretty students
and refined society as well. Bur
slack and alas. The municipal lion
and the educational lamb could not
dwell together in a loving unity
They became involved over a sewer
pipe. Mrs. Cairns, like a common Of
fender was arrested and fined.
Was this the end? Did Mrs. Cairns
bend her neck and meekly submit to
the blow? Not by large minority.
The spirit of revenge ranked in her
breast. Satisfaction she must and
would have. If it could not be blood
it must be something equally material
She would wound her enemy in a way
quite as effective. And so nursing
her vengence close to her heart she
watched and waited. In a little
while her opportunity ambled along.
She chose novel way of getting even
by notifying the pride of her towns
people. She entered into negotia-
tons, completed them and the fine
seminary pissed into the control of
syndicate of colored men, who will
transform it into a.negro manual train
ing school.
The woman who laughs last laughs
best. la this little difficulty Mrs.
Cairns is snickering very auGibly on
the top of the heap.
