Here's a pretty mess.

mere u pretty mess.
Not long ago a German American
offered a e-dollar gold piece, United
States coin, at the stamp window in
the postotfice, and asked for fifty cents
worth of stamps. The clerk refused
the coin. Subsequent inquiry, involv-
ing interviews with the superintend-
eut and the clerk III charge of the
wholesale stamp department, elected
this official explanations: eve decline
to take United States gold coins be-
cause if, when weighed at the Sub
Treasury, where We deposit them, they
are found light, the clerk who takes
them in is responsible for the differ
ence." 1t was then suggested that
this particular coin should be weighed.
At first this request was refused, but
subsequently it was found that al
though the coin was not light it was
''just on the verge"
How's that for red tape?
"Vell,' said the German American

A new danger menaces the bicycle
rider. 1t appears that some bulls OBJ
ject to the wheel, and the sight Of one
in rapid motion will madden them as
much as a red parasol in the hands o t
fleeing women. Why bull should
have such an antipathy to the bike,
aud never turn hair at the sight of
other astonishing vehicles, can only be
accounted for in one way. The bull
naturally thinks man looks ridiculous
in such position, and shows his dis
gust in the only manner at his COM
mand. 1t will certainly add to the
excitement of the bloomeresses to
learn they must avoid meeting bull,
even though their garments are of au
lnconspicuous color.

The terrible scene in the Matteawan
State Asylum for the Insane, where
Lizzie Halliday, who is confined be-
cause, in fit of lunacy, she killed her
husband, her servant, aud her SER
wants mother, ought to teach lesson
to attendants in similar institutions
the country through. 1t is mental
impossibility for the most expert
alicnist to predetermine times and
seasons when mania will seize our un-
fortunate brothers and sisters who
are confined because of acts previousl y
committed. How, then, can attendants
of the mental and moral grade fitting
them to be literal attendants and
nothing else be expected to know
anything about these wretched peo-
pie, except that they demand con-
slant, careful watching and guarding?
1t is fortunate for the peace of mind
of the community that men and wo-
men know very, very little of what goes
on in these awful places. Custom
blunts the edge of sensibility there as
elsewhere, and it is entirely unfair to
expect or to look for in the ordinary
asylum attendant delicacy OF feeling,
constituencies to suffering, or, indeed,
the most ordinary phases of human.
itarianism. Constant vigilance should
be the watchword and the continuous
experience.

Every man who wears shoes and has

rebellion at the latest order of Acting
Chief of Police Conlin that all boot

brigade waited upon Commissioner
Roosevelt and protested. Mr.. Roose-
welt sent them Gown into the den OF
Chief Conlin, who received them with
the greatest politeness. He informed
them that he was only carrying out the
law, and the law said that they must
"come off" The delegation thanked
the Acting Chief for the clearness of
his Interpretation, and promised, if
possible, to get along without the as
sistance of the police in moving. But,
es has been said, it is not only the
bootblacks but the entire shoe wearing
population that is concerned in this
matter. Ever since the order was
given out l have been delugel with
protests from "Indignant Citizens"
and "Downtrodden Taxpayers" de-
claring that the rights of every man,
woman and child in the community
were being invaded, and that the only
possible result of the change would
be the elevation OF the price OF shines
