LETTERS BY EXPRESS FORBIDDEN -
The crusade of the Post-office Depart
ment against the transportation of mail
by other means than through the regu
lar United States postal channels was
continued Tuesday by ruling made
by Assistant Attorney General Thomas,
of the Post Office Department. In re-
sponse to a query from Austin, Tex .
Judge Thomas holds that it is uDlaw
full to send an ordinary letter by ex-
press or otherwise outside of the mails,
unless it be inclosed in government
stamped envelope. 1t is added that it
is also unlawful to inclose letter in an
express package unless it pertains
wholly to the contents of the package.

OF driving in a gold spike, but the

The man with a weight on his leg
can't hope to win in the race. A
man with weight on his health
can't expect to compete in lite and
business with those who are not
handicapped. If his brain is heavy
and his blood sluggish because of
constipation, he will not succeed in
doing anything very well, Consti-
patton is the cause of nine-tenths
of all sickness. Symptoms of it are
sallowness, listlessness, poor appe"
tite, bad taste in the mouth, dizzi-
ness, biliousness and lassitude. Con-
stipation can be cured easily and
certainly by the use'of DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets. They are not.at
all violent in their action, yet they
are more certain than many medi-
cines which are so strong that they
put the system all out of order.
The great advantage of the Pleas
ant Pellets is that they cure per-
manently.

the Phegley snake can be proved. 1t is
a monster reptile. as large as the heav-

in length. This is known to be a fact,
because his snakeship comes out every

The big snake lives in a deep hole or

HOT IRON THROUGH a MANS
BODY,

ST. Adams, Vt. July 13.-George d.
Sampson. aged 20, o of Mrs. James
4. Chamberlain, was fatally injured
Friday by a red-hot iron, shot from a
canon, which passed through his body.
Sampson got out his cannon to get it in
readiness for the Fourth. The cannon
was an iron three-Quartsrs bore affair.
mounted on a carriage. A lot of paper
had been wadded into the barrel, and to
get it III he put in several charges of
powder. Instead of discharging the pa
per the powder simply flashed. He then
decided to try and burn out the paper.
He heated a poker in the stove, and
taking the rcd-hot iron, stopped over
the cannon which was tilted at an n
gle Of about As degrees, and thrust it
deep into the barrel. There was a loud
report, which was heard in the next
house, and Sampson screamed to his
mother, Pull it out, pull it OUT
The iron had been driven through a
leather book in his pocket, and entirely
through his body. passing through his
right lung, and the point just punctur-
ing the skin under his shoulder blade.
Mrs. Chamberlain, as soon as she
realized what had happened, seized the
iron to pull it out. 1t was so hot she
was obliged to wrap her apron about it
and then pull with all her strength be-
fore she could remove il.
When she threw it down the iron
scorched the floor. SIMPSONS lung was
so badly p%unctured that the air rushed
out at every breath.
