LOST LETTERS.
Many Misdirected Missives Get
Into PostoAGces.
Useful Hints About the Sending
Of Mail Matter.

Every day about 5000 letters are
received at the New York postoffice
addressed incorrectly. AS result
Postmaster Dayton will distribute
cards telling people how to send mail
matter.
Here are some of the suggestions on
the card:
Don't mail any letter until you are
sure that it is completely and properly
addressed. Don't place the address
so that there will be no room for the
postmark.
Don't, in the hurry of business, in
addressing letter, write the name OF
your own state upon it instead of that
/ of the person addressed-a very COM
mon error.
Don't fail to make certain that your
manner of writing the name OF an Of
fee or state may not cause tito be
mistaken for one similar in appear.
ance. It is often better to write the
name in full.
Don't fail, if you are in doubt as to
the right name of the Office for which
your letter is intended, to consult the
postal guide, which any postmaster
will be pleased to show you.
Don't fail to give the street and
house number of the person for whom
mail matter is intended in addressing
it to city or large town.
Don't mail any letter until you are
sure that it is properly stamped.
Don't fail to place the stamp on the
upper right hand corner.
"Don't write on the envelope, "ln
haste. (" "In care of the postmaster"
etc. 1t does no good, and tends to
confusion in the rapid handling Of
mail matter.
Don't fail to bear in mind that it Is
unlawful to inclose matter OF a high
class In one that is lower--e. g., mer-
chandise in newspapers.
Don't mail any letter unless your
address, with request to return, is
upon the face or the envelope, so that
in case of delivery it will be re-
turned directly to you.
Don't fail to give your correspond
ents your full address, so that new
postman cannot fail to find you.
Don't fail to inform your pos.mas-
ter of any change in your address.
Don't trust to the fact that you are
an "old RESIDENT" "well-known citi-
zen, etc., but have your letters ad-
dressed in full.
Don't fail if you intend so be away
from home for any length OF time to
inform your postmaster what DISPOSE
ton shall be made of your mail.
Don't delay the delivery of any
mail matter that you may take out for
another.
Don't fail to sign your letters in
full, so that if they reach the dead
letter Office they may be promptly re-
turned.
Don't when you fail to receive an
expected letter, charge the postal SER
vice with the loss until you have
learned from your correspondent all
! the facts in regard to the mailing, con-
tents, etc.-New York Press.

Held For ..Killing" an Apple Tree.

In Magistrate Ritter's court, KY,
7. NJ. Jaggers was held for Circuit
Court OH bond of $1OO for deadening
an apple tree belonging to his neigh
Dor, David Sanders. There was only
one apple, tree on Sanders farm, but
it was very prolific and Jaggers re-
quested his neighbor to divide the
fruit with him, but Sanders refused
to do SO, tbereupon Jaggers became
angry and declared that he would kill
the tree. In short time the tree
was deadened and Jaggers was ar
rested. The evidence against him is
wholly circumstantial. - louisville

Grass That Makes You Tired.

In some parts of New Mexico, says
On article quoted in Current Litera-
ture, there grows grass which pro-
duces a somnifcrous effect on the an
imals that Craze upon 1t. Horses,
after eating the grass, in nearly all
cases, sleep standing, while COWS and
sheep almost invariably lie down. 1t
has occasionally happened that trav-
elers have stopped to allow horses to
feed in places where the grass grows
pretty thick and the animals have
had time to eat considerable guam
tity before its effects have had time to
manifest themselves. In such cases
horses have gone to sleep on the road
and it is hard to arouse them. The
effect of the grass passes offin an hour
or two and no bad results have ever
been noticed on account of it. Cattle
on the ranches frequently come upon
patches OF this grass, whore they feed
for perhaps half an hour and then fell
asleep for au hour or more, when they
wake up and start feeding again. The
programme is repeated perhaps q
dozen times until thirst oblIges them
to go to water. Whether, like the
poppy, the grass contains opium, or
whether its sleep-producing property
is due to some other substance is not
known.

PENSIONERS GREAT PLAY
They Made Ducks and brakes of
the Georgetown Aggregation,
Royce Hough Pitched SpIendidly and
Was Admirably Supported-The
-ollegers Tried New Men.

ut is always the unexpected that hap
pens" How little the Georgetown College
rooters thoug ht thatth famous balitossing
aggregation would be made to knuckle
under and taste of the bitter cup OF defeat
by Capt. Jeager's Pensioners in yesterdays
game ON the college grounds?
Singular as it may seem the red brick
people performed this little trick on the
boys in blue and gray to the extent of
12toS. With the big pitcher, Royce Hongh,
in the box, old reliable Rabb at the other
end, and a gilt-edged team otherwise, the
Pensioners swept up the field with their op-
ponents and allowed nothing to phase them
at any stage of the contest.
The Varsity people thought they would
take advantage of the occasion by springing
upon the Pensioners a quantity of new
talent, but this proved to be an unwise move
as the boys Were badly in need of practice
and were unable to make good showing.
Scanon, who twirled the ball for the team,
was as wild as March hare, giving a
dozen bases on balls and thus being in q
large part responsible for his clubs defeat
1t was an "off day." however, for nearly
everybody in blue and gray uniform.
Capt. Jeager's pets gave faultless ex-
hibition both in fielding and with their
stick work. Royce Hough pitched very ef-
fectiyely, in fact, the best game in his his
tory as twirler. But three hits Were made
off his delivery. The remaining portion
of the aggregation gave him excellent sup
port and the college team was outplayed in
every particular. In the seventh inning it
became too dark to continue the contest and
the game was called.
