Postofncs Etiquette.

The following rules laid down BY the
CAtlettsburg postmaster, appeared in the
Kentucky Democrat, of that place, and it
would be well for our citizens to more
closely observe them
When you call at the Office for your
mail, and the postmaster hands it ous
ask him if that Is all.
Ifyoa ask for mail AMI he tells you
there is none, tell him there ought to be,
then 50 home and send the rest Of the
family around to ask at different times
through the day.
Don't bring your mail to the Office until
the mail closes, then curse the p1stmas,-
er for not opening the mail bag and put
ting your letter in.
When you want a stamp on your letter
tell the p0stm Gster to put il on ifhe
don't like 1t, lick him. In case you put
il on yourself s1Ak it on yous mouth long
enough to remove the mucilage it will
then stick until il is dry.
b sure All asS ths postmaster to
credit yod for stamp; if he has any ac-
commo l4tioa A5)a. him ne viii do il.
Ii yol have box, stand and drum on
It until the postmaster hands out your
mail; it makes him feel gooi, espseiaII.,.
if he is waiting on soms5oiy else.

HOW THEY GET 1T.
Indians Who Drink the DRAWINGS
of Beer Kegs.

1t is common thing for Indians
to frequent the back alleys where
beer kegs are left in the rear of
saloons until they can be taken
away.
The Indians get out the bung and
catch what beer they can in a tin
pail. A dozen kegs will fill the pail
with stale beer, not only stale but
warm, but they drink it with great
gusto, and pint of it will make an
Indian bowling drunk.
Sometimes they get the leavings of
q whisky barrel and mix with the
beer. Then they go home and lick
all their relatives.
Saloon keepers will do we'll to
remove the bung and drain the cask
before leaving it where the Indians
can get it.

THE FIREMEN SNUBBED.
They viii Not Go to Reno on the
Fourth.

The two FIRE companies of Carson
have decided not to go to Reno on
the Fourth. Last year the fremen
of Carson paid all the expenses OF
the Reno iremen to come to tn 5
city and gave them big dinner.
Nothing IN Carson was too good
fer the Reno firemen, but this year,
if the fremen of Carson go to Reno,
they will have to do so at their own
expense. They have therefore de-
cided not to go. The Liberties of
Gold Hill, hearing of the way the
Carson companies have been snub-
bed, have decided not to 90 either.
Many of the friends of the Car
son tiremen have decided that they
will not go to Reno on the Fourth.
The trouble between the two towns
over the celebration is unfortunate,
but no enc can blame the tiremen
for their action.

WOMEN AND HORSES,
A Woman of Sense Gives Her
Views.

ED. APPEAL: - In common with
about every woman in town, / am
very much amused at the efforts OF
some people to make out that the
APPEAL insulted the ladies in the
beauty contest, by comparing them
to horses.
Now if there is any one thing that
woman admires it is a fine thor
oughbred race horse. To my eve,
it is about the finest specimen of the
animal kingdom-except man and
a good deal better than some men.
We often hear lady spoken of as
a "high stopper, meaning that her
carriage is graceful, and well
groomsd," meaning that she lives
well, is well cared for or well
dressed.
A man who thinks that woman
objects to being compared to an
elegant Thoroughbred horse, don't
know the nature of women and /
might add, don't know much of any
thing else.
| have never met a lady who OBJ
jected to such comparison.
ONE OF THE CONTESTANTS.
When one compares woman to
in the kingdom of nature,
it is hard to find anything that equals
her. Obviously enough, she cannot
be compared with man, hence one
has to seek the nearest creation of
God to her, and that is found in the
grace, beauty, symmetry and fire of
the thoroughbred horse.
Gladstone who first called the at
ention of the English reading world
o the famous Russian genius Marie |
said: ''She had the
ublime fire, dauntless impstuosity |
md nervous organization of the
thoroughbred horse of Tartary."
Gladstone was her warmest admirer
nd in praising her he made the
most flattering comparison he could
hink of.
Only fool who cannot appreciate
hs fine points of either women or
lorses, could ever object to such a
omparison.-ED APPEAL
