running the chance of losing their lives,
and when it comes right down to the pirth,
when mail clerk Is given the alternative
Of giving up what lie has or never seeing
his wife and children again, it is safe to
assume that the strained matter of duty"
becomes odious. and the robber gets what
he wants.
Let the mail clerk sacrifice his life In
the vain endeavor to save the government
property What does he get for 1t? Six feet
of earth and naneless tombstone.
What do his wife and children get for his
life? Nothing unless the man has an in
surance policy. aud that never compensatcs
for the loss of husband and father Tho
government has never been known in sucn
cnses TO provide for the family. and SO the
clerk throws his life away for nothing and
his family does not get red cent for his
risk.
This is a matter that ought to he brought
TO the attention of the government au
thorties in such a manner that there can
be no escape. Either the gov/nment
should provide guards for the mail or re-
build all their cars. AS it Is today the
nan who sends money through the mail
Goes at his own risk. He does not know,
has no means Of knowing. how far it may
got toward its destination. and has no way
to recover II If It is lost.
If 1t should he made unlawful to carry
money in the mails the risk to railway mail
agents would be removed and train rob-
berries would seldom occur

"Thc Old Yellow Almanac V

When Ella Wheeler Wilcox wrote the
poem, having for title the same heading
as this article, she touched a chord that
Vibrated In thousands of hearts. For
Ayers Almanac, The Old Yellow Al
manac," OF the poem Is intimately asso-
slated with the days and deeds of a
large part of the worlds population.
How large a part Of the population this
general statement may include, can be
gathered from the fac hat the yearly
Issue Of Ayers Almanac Is from l7,000,-
600 to %, 1000, 900 copies. 1t Is printed In
twenty-eight editions and in some eigh-
teen languages, including, besides En-
gllsh, Spanish. Portuguese. Dutch, Ger
man. Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, b.
hemian, Welsh, Italian. French, etc.
The old style almanac Is looked upon
by many as a relic OF antiquity, espe-
cially the patent medicine almanac"
whose jokes are the butt often of the
very papers In whose columns they first
appeared. But there are almanacs and
almanacs. Ever since DIR Ayers AL
manac has been put out IL has employed
as high class Of mathematical and as
Economical talent as Is available In the
country. The result Is hat 1t stands on
a par, In respect of the reliability Of Its
data n the accuracy of It's calcula-
lions with the u. s. Nautical Almanac,
and testimony to this fact Is found year
after year In the letters, referred to the
almanac department OF the company,
from students and mathematicians In
various parts OF the world. In It's per-
manence and reliability Ayers AL
manac stands as a fitting type OF the
Aver Remedies-indispensible In the
family and reliable every day in the
year. The 1897 edition OF this useful al
manac Is now In course Of distribution
through the druggists OF the country.
