A law passed by congress abolishes the postal note now in use. This note was intended to afford an opportunity to send an ordered amount of exchange through the mails. It has caused great inconven- fence to institutions that receive money through the mails. Instead of the postal note the new bill creates money order system by which orders can be secured at rates as low as those charged by express companies. For orders not exceeding $2. 20 the charge is 3 cents, and the fee increases until it is 30 cents for sums over $75 and under $100 July next is fixed as the date for the new law to take effect.

 GRANDMOTHER MUMFORD, THE LIVING
 BUNDLE"
 The living bundle seated on the road side bank near at hand now attracted my attention. It began to swing back and forth Tn very violent hammer, and at last, after some few preliminary in- ternal rumblings, it gave utterance to these words: :"Oh. Mumfordl Oh. Mum ford!"
 Turning to the man on the rock, shook him up and asked, "Is your name Mumford?'
 "No, sir," said he. No, she's a-thinkin of-a-thinkin bout her ole man-him she lost" Well, come. rouse up, my friendi' cried 1. almost losing my patience You can't remain here with this fam fly on your hands. What do you think of doing2"

 Again all was silent The old lady was still diligently vibrating, but was now voiceless. The man on the rock seemed trying to pull an idea of some kind out of the patch on the knee of his trousers.

eUzZaRo BOOSTED HIGH.
But He Had to Climb Down from tn
Lofty Perch.

We have been Interested in the case
Of Abe Buzzard Of PENNSYLVANIA. the
king of the outlaws of the Welsh noun
tains. SAYS the y. Y. Sun. After Mr..
Buzzard bad done lots of mischief and
got lashings Of plumber he fell into the
clutches OF the law. was tried for his
crimes, and sent to the penitentiary.
When he had been there for about eight
years he turned religious. He told the
penitentiary preacher that he had ex-
perienced a change OF heart; he talked
ike a convert, prayed like a zealot. and
sang the hymns which Sankey sings
The pious people rejoiced; they secured
his pardon; they welcomed him upon
his release from prison. The notorious
outlaw Buzzard was now Brother Buzz
card. He took to preaching, he became
o travelling evangelist. he gained the
favor Of the clergy, he exhorted the evil
doors TO repent, he told thrilling tales
OF his exploits as a malefactor and jail
breaker, he declared that. though a
criminal almost from the cradle, he bad
entered upon a new life. Brother Buzz
card was a star preacher after April Of
last year, when he got out Of the peni-
tertiary.
1t now turns out. however, that all
this time BuzZard has been doing BUSH
ness in the Old line as a thief and mis-
creant. He would preach at a place
and take TO the highway at the end OF
his sermon. He would pass the plate
in church before the doxology and then
start ont to crack a safe, or steal a horse

postoifice, or burst the strong box at a
railroad station, or do some OF the other
deeds for which he had been famous be-
fore his conversion. He struck out for
deyiltry while yet his plaintive calls to
repentance rang in the ears of his hear
ers. He carried a satchel in which re.
ligious tracts were mixed up with in
eliminating material. He locked up the
stolen goods in his house when he went
out TO battle with sin.
We have heard of other cases, but not
of any more interesting than Abe Buzz
yards.
A short time ago, just after BsYzard
the Bad had presided at q religious
meeting he was arrested in clerical garb.
taken to court, and put upon trial at
Lancaster charged with twenty two
crimes. He pleaded guilty to some of
them. He was sentenced last Saturday
to eleven years confinement in the
penirentiary.
We do not need to draw any moral
from the BuZZard case. But can it 10
that Buzzard's conversion was gen.
uine. after all, and that he merely fell
into temptation now and then through
the force of habit?

He BOUGHT A BICYCLE.
Bot 1t Was Not Exactly in the Condition
lie Expected.

A young man bought a bicycle, 1t
was a good bicycle and he vas proud
Of it. He bought it on the installmrnt
plan and for a month was happy with
it..
One night when he was riding on an
asphaltcd street he met a friend.
"IIo." said the friend, "wbere'd you
get the bike?"
Bought IT," replied the wheelmsn
tartiy. "D.a you think / stole it,

you take for it?'
The wheelman stopped and said: do
you want to buy a wheel?'
Il might if | got one cheap enough"
well, what Will you give for this
one?'
Forty dollars"
The whee.man got on his wheel and
rode away without saying a word. A
day or two later the friend came around
and made some more inquiries about
the wheel. The wheelman told him
~confidentiaily that he was hard up and
was having difficulty in keeping up his
payments and that he had concluded TO
sell out for the $40.
Mike" said the friend. II have
changed my mind. too. | can't afford
TO give you more than S2j for that
wheel now"
The wheelman laughed At this offer.
The friend came around every day for
a week after that and asked him if he
was ready to take S2j. reminding him
that he would lose the wheel altogether
if he wasn't prompt with the payments.
Yesterday afternoon the friend made
his usual proposition. III give YOU
$50 for that wheel" he said. You'd
better take ii, too. It's your last
chance

guess | will takeit. Moneys Internally

The preliminaries were arranged and
the friend counted out the SO.
where's the wheel?' he asked.
Up at the house"

away"
"Au right" Then as the friend was
about to 90 out the wheelman said: "On

will be 80 cents 10 Sl.j0 extra. The
cartridges will cost $3.50 per 100, and
they should be filled with No. 6 shot,
as that is the most useful size, and
liable to do the most execution.
The gun should be rs carefully fitted
to the boy as il it were a coat, for ID
must be remembered that IL a shor,s
stocked gun fits a short-armed or a
short-nccked boy, IL will not fit a long
armed or Il long-necked boy, and the
matter Of the amount of '"crook" or
curve in the stock is also an important
factor as TO how the boy will be able
TO shoot with il. Most of the large
firms have n skeleton stock which is
adjusted To the purchaser until it fits
him, and then the correct angle, etc,
is known, but in many places they
may not have this very important
item.
A mark should then be made on the
wall, and the boy told to pull the gun

great fancy for fine fowls, and among

ton among the icathered tribe. he went
to the scene of action, and there SAT
Jocko with the much prosecuted COB
bier between his knees, while he was
trying TO put the feathers back. Hia
intentions of repairing the mischief done
were good, but the turkey did not APP

the boy. and when he says he is ready,

the bird fly and let him shoot Mt 1t.
