"Bab," in the Courier Journal,
says:
"In everybody's life there come
moments when one wants to be
alone. This Is impossible with a
parrot.
If you are a politician you want
to be alone when you just miss what
you are aiming for.
If you are a woman you want to
be alone before you put your make
up on.
If you are a small boy, you want
to he alone after you have been
warmed up by the maternal hair
brush.
If you are big boy, you want to
be alone to congratulate yourself
when you have gotten up courage
enough to kiss a pretty girl.
If you are messenger boy, you
want to be alone TO count your tips.
If you are at sea, you want to be
alone when that funny feeling, which
isn't seassickness, oh, dear, no
comes npon you.
If you are on land, you want to
be alone In the morning when you
have had too much to eat or drink
the night before.
If you are in love, you never
want to be alone-you want your
hearts love beside you through the
sunshiny day and the starry night,
and the consequence Is tired of the
adored one, and what to be alone.
If you are an editor, you want TO
be alone at this very moment, with
out even an interruption from Bah.
The chances of our being accom-
modated with postoffice money order
facilities at an early date seem good
Judging from the following recent
Washington press dispatch
:'Nearly 5000 new money order
offices will be the result of the recent
order which changes the rules GOV
erning the creation Of such offices.
Prior to April last a postoffice must
haye revenue of at least $3.50 be~
fore it would have the right to issue
money orders. Then it was the
rule that Offices be given the PRIV
ilege when application was made
by the postmaster or citizens. But
now any Office having receipts of
not less than 5000 is made money
order Office without further prelim
inaries. The extension of this sys-
tenn to small towns is believed to be
a great public convenience.
At the close of the last fiscal year
there were some 10000 money order
Offices in existence. There are
now nearly $4,000, and by the end
of the year there will be some 49,
900 or $4,000 additional Offices
established :"
Thanks to Mr.. and Mrs. S. E.
Miller for a cluster Oftwo beautiful
tomatoes that weighed exactly three
pounds. Every few days We see
something In the vegetable, fruit or
vine order that plainly Demon
strates the fact that this is paradise
for the truck farmer and fruit grow
er. We will learn, ere long, to ap-
preciate the advantages of our soil
ana climate, and reap the fruits OF
the same.
The following new Louisiana
law will prove of general interest to
our lady readers:
"Be it enacted by the General AS
sembly Of the State of Louisiana,
That article 232 of the Constitution
of 1879 of the State of Louisiana is
hereby declared to be operative, and
women over twenty-0ne years OF age
are hereby declared to be eligible to
any Office of control Or management
under the school laws of this State"
