From the WATERFOWL Standard

From the Watertown Standard.
While out hunting near Salmon river re-
Gently, Sidney Woodland fired at and kill
ed a partridge, and on crossing the river
where the bird fell he stopped to pick 1t up,
when something warm and Of a mucilagi-
nous consistency fell upon his head. This
he soon found was honey, and upon exam
nation discovered that the bullet from his
gun had penetrated bee tree, after pass
Ing through the partridge. He returned
to the house and secured three large tubs
and two milk cans and some pals, all of
which he filled with honey.
While securing the honey he noticed a
peculiar movement of the tree, which SEEM
ed to expand and subside at intervals.
Passing to the other side a wide stream
was apparent and he learned that the tree
was hollow. From this he succeeded in
extracting thirty-two coons which had
taken up winter quarters therein, the pc
culiar movement of the tree having been
caused by the united breathing Of the
coonS.
Nor was this all of his remarkable adven-
ture for on attempting to cross the river
the Ice gave way, and he was obliged to
swim for a short distance. When he ar
rived at his home he had about forty-five

department for appointment. The post
master, however, is responsible for the hon
esty of the clerks under him, and In all
large offices the postmaster makes his sub
ordinates give him bonds which secure him
from loss by their dishonesty. The assist
divisions and even the men who sell stamps
are usually under bond But this is mat
ter of local usage strictly. Each postmas-
ter does in this matter as he pleases These
bonds are made for the term of a clerk
office. The bonds of postmasters are good
for only five years, AND 1T is proposed to re-
duce this limit to four years. At the end
of the period named the postmaster has
to give new bond. -, y
gregate about s12,OOG0OO,' These bonds run
only four years, for the contracts are relet
at the end of that period. The country is
divided into four sections, and in one OF
these sections the contracts are advertised
and reet to the lowest bidder each year.
The amount Of the bond is usually equal
to twice the cost OF the service for one
year. The lowest bond is 500. The con-
tractor who hauls the mail to and from
trains and between substations and the
main station of the post Office in New
York receives $4,000 a year for the ser
vice, and gives a bond for $780, 900. The
Philadelphia contractor receives $4,000
year, and gives bond for $120,OOO. The
Boston contractor gives 100000 bond; the
Washington contractor $4,000: the St.
Louis contractor, $4,000, and the Chicago
contractor, 100000. These sums do not
guarantee the honesty Of the contractor in
the sense that postmasters bonds do. They
guarantee the service for the four years
of the contract. If a contractor does not
fulfill it's terms, the Postmaster General
calls on his bondsmen for their guarantee
and pays some other man the difference be-
tween the contract and the price at which
he is willing to do the work out of the funds
furnished by the bOndSmen.

A Cure for DOres.

OF the Hungarian statesman Francis
Deak it is related that he used to rid him
self of troublesome visitors by telling them
the following story:
"Once, when in Paris, Napoleon I paid
visit to a hospital for the old soldiers. Here
he perceived, among the rest, a man who
had lost one of his arms, and he entered
into conversation with him.
Where did you lose your ARM asked
the emperor.
".At Waterloo. your majesty
Then. no doubt, you curse the emperor
and your country every time you look at
your mutilated limbo
".No indeed protested the veteran, for
the emperor and my native land / would
readily sacrifice my other arm if need be-
81 can hardly believe that the emperor
quietly remarked, and passed on
But the soldier, anxious to prove that he
was in earnest, Immediately drew a saber
from it's sheath and Topped off his other
arm.
Here Deak would pause and fix pene-
trating look on his visitor.
well, what have you to say Of such q
man and such an action?"
"A most sublime act Of self-sacriffce! A
truly noble character
This was the style Of reply invariably
given.
But the story has one faw." he would
grave1y add.
What Is that. pray?'
lit Is simply impracticable. How could
one-armed man contrive to cut off his only
remaining arm?''

judge Numbered out the words You have

The cyclist nodded assent.
You will have to pay a fine OF four

The accused took four coins out of his
pocket and laid them on the bar. But tell
me- your worship have Prince Waldemar
and Princess Marie permission to cycle on
the path in question:"
The Judge rubbed his nose.
''Um! No, certainly not Is this your
first offense?'
.'Yes,your worship. and my last" answer
ed the culprit.
well, then. will let you off with
caution this time"
Our cyclist gathered up his money. made
his bow. and walked off. But when he got
to the door, the judge called out to him:
"Halloa, you there, did you actually see
Prince Waldemar and Princess Marie rid
Ing on that path?"
'I? No, your Worship replied the cy-
clist, with twinkle in his eye. and was

is represented by these bonds it could car
ry mail for two years without charge, and
be none the worse off at the end Of that
period.
These bonds are of four kinds. They are
given by postmasters, inspectors and, final
ly, by contractors who haul the govern
ment mail The contractors give bond for
the faithful performance Of their con-
tracts; and out of this bond II they fail to
perform the service, some one else Is paid
for the work. The bonds given by the
other three classes are to protect the gov
eminent from possible theft The post
master would have very easy time steal
ing a months receipts If he wished. The
letter carrier could easily enrich himself
at the expense of the patrons Of the pos
tai service, while the inspectors have the
authority to go into post office and take
possession, and they are constantly subject
to temptation. But II the postmaSters OF
the country were to rise and steal sixty
five millions of dollars the government
would not lose a cent of the amount. And
If the 10000 letter carriers were to purloin
ten millions no one but their sureties would
be any worse off financially. The inspec-
tors could steal half a million between
them, and the government could recover 1t
all.
In Large Cities.
When the Dockery commission undertook
recently to investigate the bonds given by
people in the public service they reported
to the Post Office Department people that
the bonds exacted from postmasters met
the requirements of security more nearly
than any other bonds taken in the depart
ments. There are seventy thousand of
these postmasters, and the security they
give varies with the Importance of the Of
flee. or course, a postmaster who handles
little money gives small bond. and
postmaster who handles great deal of
money gives bond proportionately. The
postmaster at a money order office gives a
bond for the security of the postal reve
nues and another bond for the security OF
money in transit. The lowest bond taken
is for $500, and that Is for an office whose
revenue is not more than $l75. The New
York postmaster gives a postal bond for
$3.50. 900 and a money order bond for like
amount, and his sureties, like all others,
must qualify in double the amount for
which they become liable. So the sureties
of the New York postmaster are undoubt-
eddy worth a million dollars. Some of the

A Troubled One.

From It'd Bits.
1t Is said that the expression, There Is
a skeleton in every closet" arose from
the following incident: A young Italian
student, finding he was dying. fearing to
break the news to his mother, adopted the
following device. He informed her that
he was i'll, and that it had been foretold he
would not recover until he had worn
shirt made by woman who had no
trouble. The widow soon discovered it was
no easy task to find such a person, but
at length was referred to lady who
seemed surrounded with every comfort and
happiness and possessed husband who
seemed devoted to her. The widow made
known her request, and for an answer was
shown a closet, where a skeleton hung
suspended from beam. She was told it
was the remains of lady's former lover,
who, from motives of jealousy, had been
slain by her husband. and that he COM
PEELED her to visit 1t every day. The widow
concluded that no one was without trouble,
that there is a skeleton lin every closet"
and became reconciled to the approaching
loss of her son.

Coming Words.
However, 1t is not necessary that a word
should be accepted by photographers In or
der that it may serve for a trademark.
People engaged in introducing new articles
to the market commonly coin words to fit
their purposes. This they do very often by
adding the examinations In line" and
"tine"-as 'Lintine." 'Absorbtine,' Epi-
dermaline' and ''Vulnerine." Other ex-
amples of coined words are 'Ledox and
"Debelator." One purpose OF the trade
mark, and a very important purpose Incl

appear that the same trademark may be
