SpottIng tho Carriers.

The spotter system has now been ap-
piled to 151 out of Cos free-delivery Of
fees, and Mr.. Jones thinks 1t has proved
successful in bringing the carriers up to
a higher grade Of efficiency, and In pro-
noting the economical management OF
the service. In one city, for example,
where the postmaster had begged for
twelve additional carriers, the applica-
ton Of the spotter anddote demonstrated
that those already on duty had been
shirking and to such degree that when
they were reorganized and put on bus
mess basis the superintendent was able
to reduce their number fifteen and stsll
give a better service than that city had
enjoyed before. The only large cities
In which the spotter system has been
applied are Chicago, Philadelphia, Cleve-
land and Boston, and Mr.. Jones thinks
that it has proved very efficient In all OF
them.

sPURRED ON BY A VISION.
Tho Dream which Led q Cyclist to Join

Tho Dream which Led q Cyclist to join
the l. A. W. at Once.
The admission OF one Of party OF
cyclists that he did not belong to the
League of American Wheelmen called
forth a shower of surprised comment.
He had no excuse to make for his
remissness save procrastination. He
believed 1t his duty to join, so as to
aid in the cause of wheeling. but had
neglected to sign an application sim
ply because there was no immediate
hurry about it. A blank was secured
for him and he at once took the neces-
sary steps to gain membership in the
L. A. w.
THAT reminds me of my expert
ence," said one of the party. Only 1t
took vision in the night to bring me
to the point OF joining. Like our
friend here, I delayed about it for no
particular reason save that it could be
attended to at one time just as we'll as
another. One evening 1 started for
New-England on the Fall River boat,
bent on vacation trip. A friend and
had planned to take our wheels and
had talked about riding on them part
of the way to the resort for which we
were bound. At almost the last mo-
ment, however, we had decided not to
bring our machines, because the roads
which we would have to travel were
extremely bad.
well, we started on the boat and in
due time went to our stateroom. My
sleep was a bit troubled and toward
morning 1 had a dream which was so
lifelike that it was really a vision. My
dream was that I had brought my
wheel. having checked 1t through to
Fall River. On arriving there hand
ed in my check and received bicycle
which somehow I did not notice close
ly. mounted, but had not ridden more
than a third of a mile when the wheel
collapsed completely. I cannot i'm
agine a worse smashup. 1t was the
case Of the one-hoss shay over again;
frame, rims, spokes, pedal cranks,
handle-bar, saddle, everything simply
melted apart. as il they had been
glued with mucilage.
"It struck me that must have some
other wheel than my beautiful '95 mod
ell, so I bent over to see If the bicycle
really bore the number of my own.
Then I discovered that the pieces ly-
ing on the ground were those of a
rusty, clumsy old machine of anti
quated make. I became indignant at
this. I'll go right to the consul Of the
L. A. W. I said to myself, and have
him go with me to the railway station
where I received that wheel. II I, a
stranger, went alone 1 might get scant
satisfaction
"Then it struck me that had never
Joined the L. A. W., although I had
months ago decided to do SO. So
would have to fight my own battle, and
perhaps, so it seemed to me, lost my
$1O0 wheel simply because I had ne
elected to pay 81 to belong to the L. A.
w. I went to the baggage-room-and
there my dream ended. OF course, it
didn't matter what happened after
that, the object of the vision being to
convince me of the need of my joining
the L. A. w. speedily. On returning
to New York did so, and, of course,
am extremely glad did"
Cigars had been finished by this
time and SO a start was made on the
return trip.

Length of the Earth's Shadow,

The length of the shadow which the
earth casts into space has attracted
some attention since the eclipse of the
moon. This shadow is in the form of
a cone with the diameter of the earth
as its base. 1t is $4,000 miles long.
That is If you Travelled into space, away
from the earth, more than three times
as far as the moon, the shadow would
shield you from the sun, provided you
remained on what may be called the
night side of the earth. The diameter
Of the sun is $4,000 miles, that of the
earth is 1926 miles. and the distance

Gloom Was Averted-The Present
Full of Joy and Hope.
From the Herald, Helena, Mont.
As rugged and hardy as one of the pines
which grow in the Rocky Mou- tain region
Is G. E. Ticknor, Of Helena, Montana FOR
twenty -four years he has resided In the
mountain country, but his vigor is not duo
altos ether to the bracing air of Montana
Last fall Mr.. Ticknor was what might be
termed physical wreck. For eight weeks
he lay on his bed suffering from severe
attack of sciatic rheumatism in one OF his
hips. Physicians and medicines gave him
no relief and the future looked gloomy.
Added to his troubles was the anxiety con-
cerning the care Of a large family. BY
chance one day Mr.. Ticknor saw an account
Of DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
He said to q Herald reporter that he was
not in favor of proprietary remedies, but
In this instance something In the article
caught his attention and he determined to
give the pills trial In the interview with
the Herald representative the other day,
Mr.. Ticknor spoke in the most emphatic
terms of the marvellous change in his con-
dition. Before a week had gone by" he
said, II was able to get out OF bod and
move about. / had hardly used one box OF
the pills BY the time 1 had taken three
boxes l felt twenty years younger. In fact
was q new man and have been perfectly
well ever since. can't say too much for
Pink Pills and never miss an opportunity
to praise them"
When the Herald representative saw Mr.
Ticknor he was making some repairs on the
school building on Boulder Avenue. He
swung his carpenters hammer with all the
vigor of a lusty young man and looked as
hale and hearty as any man of his years
to be found in the entire Rocky Mountain
country. He is fifty mine years old and is
able to do a days work at his trade of car
penter. Pink Pills can always be found in
bis house. Mr.. Ticknor lives at 1919 Boulder
Avenue, near the American Biscuit Manu-
featuring Company plant, where he Iill
be glad to see anyone who wishes to verify
this account of his experience with DR..
Williams Pink Pills.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills contain, In a
condensed form, all the elements necessary
to give new life and richness to the blood
and restore shattered nerves. They are
also a specific for troubles peculiar to fe-
males. such as suppressions. irregularities
and all forms of weakness. They build up
the blood, and restore the glow Of health
to pale and sallow cheeks. Pink Pills are
sold in boxes at 50 cents n box or six boxes

A DinacuIt UndertakIng.

The engineer corps Of the army ID
about to undertake one Of the most dar-
ing and difficult projects that has ever
been attempted. Congress has author
lied the construction Of great light
house in the open ocean on the Diamond
shoals. which are OF Cape Hatteras,
and have been the cemetery Of many
brave seamen and costly ships 1t Is the
most dangerous place for navigators on
the whole Atlantic coast. The tides and
currents are always treacherous and
somehow or another, as Is the case at
most of the places in the world where
navigation is difficult, storms are a great
deal more frequent than along the
coasts that offer plain sailing. At or
dinary high tide there is thirty feet of
water on the Diamond shoals, but the
currents and the winds often leave but
three or four feet To lay the founda-
ton OF this great light house a million
dollars will have to be literally sunk
in the sa. The foundations will be q
skeleton of steel placed upon screw piles
driven fifty feet into the earth below
the water by hydraulic pressure. The
steel skeleton viii be filed with stone
and cement, and anchored as firmly as
possible. Upon this the lighthouse
proper will be placed forty seven feet
above the water, and will rise to the
height of 100 feet, where there will be
q great lens which will throw Its rays
for twenty-five or thirty miles. To
build this structure some new and novel
ideas in mechanics will have to be ap-
piled. 1t is said to be as difficult work
as that General Casey accomplished
when he removed the old foundations
from under the Washington Monument
at Washington and replaced them with
GtrOn ger ones that will last for ages

The AtchIson View of 1t.

If a bride has $40 of her own after
buying her wedding clothes, her hus-
band should never SO far forget himself
as to ask to borrow it. Under the spell
of the honeymoon she will lend it.
After the wane of the honey moon, he
will either refuse or will not be able to
pay it back. The $40 will Increase to
s4OO in her eyes in six years, and he
will hear more of it than IL he owed it
to his own kin.-Atchison Globe.
