AN UNDERPAID LETTER.
A Case When Red Tape in Business
Was Costly Affair.
The thanking Firm Which bad an Invaria-
bic Rule and Followed It-Trouble Oecs-
stoned the Institution by = Minus
Two Cents Postage.

For genuine red tape" said a
Chicago banking house employe,
commend me to the old estab-
lished British banker or merchant.
Just before Christmas the house
with which I am connected mailed a
draft for nearly four thousand dol
lars to a house in London with
which we had done business for more
years than I personally can remem-
Der. We have never registered the
drafts, and never had any trouble
with them until this last one.
About two months after we had
cable message asking immediate
remittance, and the next Saturday
we had a letter calling our attention
to the fact that we had omitted to
remit in accordance with our usual
custom.
1--WE cabled back that we had re-
mitted, but would secure duplicate
draft, and on Monday we did this
and sent it on with an explanation
that if the other draft turned up
they were to notify US.
THE morning after we had gone
to this trouble We received back, via
the returned letter offices of London
and this country, our first letter,
with its inclosure unopened. In the
hurry of heavy mail one of our
clerks had accidentally underpaid
the letter, and two cents postage
due was demanded on its presenta-
ton in London. This sum was re-
fused and the letter returned, in ac-
cordance with the international pos
tai rules, to the original sender.
"On inquiring at the post Office 1
found that our case was by no
means an exceptional one In this
country large firms almost invaria-
bly, take in all their mail promiscu-
ously, and pay any claims for under
paid postage weekly, or when de-
manded. In London, it appears. all
the old standing houses instruct
their clerks to refuse anything that
is underpaid, and the item excess
postage is never seen on the credit
cash books.
In this particular instance the
cost of the cable message would have
covered the insignificant little out
lays of this kind for a whole year,
while the interest on money out of
which the firm kept itself for over
month would amount to quite a
sum. st. Louis Globe-Democrat

MRS. HOFFMAN, the female suffrage
agitator, spoke to a well filled house
Monday evening. She show ed herself
an able speaker, but did not advance
any new arguments in favor of female
suffrage. Her talk was of the nature
that is inclined to make women dissat-
isfied with men more than to convert
men to supporting the suffrage cause.
Mrs. Hoffman is an educated lady, well
informed upon the subject she dis
cussed, but like too many public speak
ers she is inclined to lightly color. all
statements and statistics she wants to
use in her argument. Taking her talk
as the literal truth from beginning to
end, the men people" of this country
are terrible shabby lot, and ought to
all be wiped off the face of the earth.
Then Mrs. Hoffman and her lady agi-
tators could do their own voting, hold
their own offices, clean their own
bitches, fight their own battles and
raise their own women peopIe'' with
out having the measlY men around tc
bother them.

The Engagement Mended.

Maud" he said, brokenly, I'VE
have been engaged three years. and
now you throw me over. Well, so be
it. l would not wish for wife who
did not care for me. You have re-
turned TO me the ring; you have
given me back the books and brace
lets and pins and photographs gave
you, but"
-tAh! Mr.. Puddifoot," said the
girl, with a sheer, I know what you
are going to say. You are going to
tell me that you have spent $50 taking
me to the opera, $25 on the theaters,
$40 on afternoon drives, and $28 on
flowers. In short, you want check
for these?"
''Miss Binkleton," he retorted,
proudly, you wrong me. I was
amply repaid for all these by the
pleasure I derived in witnessing
your delight. No, Miss Binkleton,
I desire no dross; but one thing ere
we part you must return to me, and
must return to you"
Here he took ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
from his pocket.

voice, that in four years I have
given you IA, 677, 621 kisses, and you
have given me II, 466, 1913. These

A BAD state of affairs exists in Colo
RADIO, growing out of the recent miners
strikes. The recent outrage committed
upon General Tarsney is black stain
that many years will not wipe out. A
universal cry of condemnation goes up
from all over the land; and yet it
appears that there are people in Colo
RADIO who are shielding the outragers,
and excusing the acts of revenge, from
a political cause. They are making a
terrible mistake. Kansas people who
were so bitter and unreasonable during
the late legislative war in this state
should indeed be thankful that the
extremists did not have their way and
that disgrace such as has fallen upon
Colorado did not happen in Kansas.
There were men during that legislative
war; who SO far forgot their manhood,
their loyalty to the laws of the state
state, as to recommend tar and feath-
ers, and even death, for the rightful
officers of the law. We hops there are
none of such today.

The assassin sprang into The presi-

was greatly beloved by his people, had
made just and fair president, and his
death at the hands of an assassin Is a

Rain has come at last and enough to
thoroughly soak the ground.
Mr.. Traylor, of Cleveland township,
is erecting fine residence on his farm.
Several headers have beee started
around town and by next week half of

Mr.. Pusch has returned home from
his trip to the Pacific slope. He thinks
Kansas pretty good place to live in
after all.
Carl and Title Hartman returned
home from Salina last week. where
they have been attending the Kansas
Wesleyan University.
Henry Burmister. living six miles
northeast of town, has invented a

world. 1t is pulled instead of pushed
as in the case of all other headers. The
header will be given a test trial near

Henry Burmeister, northeast of

barge and the whole thing run with
three horses. two on the barge and one

had escaped from prison and the
murder was committee while he was
gone. He was recently captured in
