Every one knows how difficult 1t Is TO
write really effective short story. In fact,
next to the task of producing successful
shild's book, the art of the short story writer
is considered the most difficult of literary
labors. Such being the case the publication
in year OF four such marked volumes OF
short stories as compose the "Tales from
Town Topics" series is a remarkable feat.
And good as were the earlier numbers the
June volume will be found in no whit infer
iOr. Town Topics, 81 West 23d ST., n. Y.

The government has awarded large con-
tract to the Morgan Envelope Company of
Springfield, Mass, for 24,000,000 double
postal cards, new deyice which has long
been urged upon the POstOffice Department.
The new card will be 81 by 81 inches, and
will be folded In the center, presenting four
surfaces. The outside Is for the address
and the inside is for the message. At the
fold the card is perforated so that the reci-
pient can tear of One-half and then answer
on the other.
Michigan has at last dropped into line in
the matter of reduced rates to the delegates
attending conventions. In other States the
delegate pays full fare to the meeting, has
q certificate signed there by some officer
named for that purpose, and is returned
home at one-third fare, making fare and a
third for the round trip. Michigan fixed
these matters by selling the delegate round
trip ticket at fare and third and putting
him to no trouble at the meeting to have his
gave the delegate chance to sell bis return
part of the ticket to scalper In case he
made up his mind not to return and guard
against this and also to make the system un-
form in all the states the certificate plan has
been adopted in this state.
The Saginaw Courier-Herald says: Harri
son Geer registered at the Hotel Vincent
Saturday afternoon. Mr.. Geer is a life long
friend of Hon. John T. Rich, having beer
born in Lapeer county. To the architect d
this column Mr.. Geer said: John T. Ricf
will be nominated for Governor. You may
rest assured of this fact; for 1t Is fact
There is an overwhelming sentiment
throughout the state for him and 1t canno
in the nature of things be changed. M
man i'm the state has wider public acquaint
ance than Mr.. Rich and his name stands
Tor all that is worthy of honorable and use
Pal citizenship. He has been faithful t.
svery trust, is tried and true to his party, t.
the people and to himself. No one eve
charged him with an unworthy act and he l
man of ability, of simplicity, sincerity ant
integrity"
