Hearts cannot always be taken by
storm. Wooing may be too hasty
and precipitate, as well as too slow.
A man who offers himself to wo,
man before he has made sure of her
affections is very liable to receive
"no" for an answer, when, with a
little delay and assiduity combincd,
he might have made it eyes" There
is an indistinctive pride in woman
which makes her rebel against the
idea Of being too quick y and easily
won. She naturally thinks he must
hold her love cheap who supposes it
may be had by a comparative
stranger for the mere asking. Even
in the case Of mutual love at first
sight, she does not forego the
pleasures Of the delightful period of
courtShip, The wild bird woos his
mate with long and mellitlous song;
and woman feels it her right to
exact homage before marriage.

STOLE OVERDUE POSTAGE.
Letter. Carriers Arrested for Embezzlement-
Charges Against an Ex-Deputy Postmaster.

DULUTH, MIMI, Aug. 26.-Tuesday morn
ing two observation-disclosures Nolan and
Albert Wiley-were arrested for connec-
tion with a postoffice embezzlement. They
confessed that they had been instructed
and encouraged by ex-Deputy Postmaster
Henry to steal overdue postage. A small
deficit was discovered by the postmaster
last June and the United States authori-
ties were notified. The matter was dropped
on Henry making good the deficit. No
definite idea is yet obtainable as to what
the theft of Henry amounted to during the
four years previous to Postmaster How
ards induction into Office, but In the light
of all that is known it must have been $500
or $500. There is not much doubt that he
and the four carriers divided profits. Mr..
Howard says that in order to cover his
croOkedness Henry distracted from the Of
flee every one of the quarterly statements
from the end of 1885 to and including the
first quarter of this year. Documents af-
fecting- Towards regime were returned
when Henry was confronted by the off,
Gals, with the exception of some portions.
There is a clerk, one of whose duties is TO
anaX all due stamps 10 letters, yet Henry,
contrary TO the rules, allowed Nolan ana
Wiley to affix these stamps. These two
were very clever. On letters destined for
the East End, where the people were up
to the rules regarding due stamps, they
never failed to affix the proper stamp, but
on most letters destined for the West End,
where there is q large foreign element,
whose mail was often underpaid. they
failed to affiX due stamps. FranZier and
Godenius were the men who delivered in
this part of town, and they collected the
money and never accounted for il.
Ex-Deputy Postmaster Henry. who is
nOw in st. Paul. when interviewed on the
subject OF his alleged Hight. stated with
considerable emphasis that such n thing
never entered his head. Indeed. he had no
knowledge of the revival of charges made
against the Duluth Office some time in June
last, when Inspector Childs made an exam
ination into it's affairs.

FLORA STAPLES AFFLICTION.
She Is Now Twenty-Five Years Old. and Has No
Power of Motion Except in Her Jaws.

SPECIAL 10 the Indianapolis Journal.
COLUMBUS. Ind, Aug. 26.-At George
town, Brown county, twenty miles from a
railroad. twenty-five years ago, Flora
Staple was born Since that time
she has been more helpless han a
babe. having no power of motion,
except the perpendicular movement
of her jaws. During all t~heseyears she has
taken nourishment only in fluid form.
Strange as it may seem. 1t is a fact that she
has grown to be very beautiful and of per
feet form, except a slight curvature of
the spine. Her power of speech
has been developed, and she
reads and speaks the English
language fiuently and correctly. Two
years ago she was brought to this city and
witnessed the parade of a large circus.
Seeing a large elephant. she informed her
mother, on returning home, that
the sight of il had made an
impression upon her mind that
she would never forget. and that she be-
lieved If she had some pliable substance she
could form with her mouth an image of the
beast. She was first given an apple-peel-
ing. and her parents were greatly
surprised III seeing that q perfect
image of the elephant was formed
with her teeth. Since that time she has
learned to form with great rapidity letters,
words and sentences as perfectly as PRINT.
and In this she takes great delight. This
is the most peculiar case of the kind ever
heard OF by the medical fraternity in this
locality.
