ployes. The government Of the United
States has more than one-third OF these
postofices under It's jurisdiction and ems
ploys lSi,607 men 20 attend to It's mails.
Germany comes next with 3594S postofiicea
and 16s,334 employees. Great Britain has
20,270 postofiices and 13S, 1888 employees. In
da, Canada, France and Russia come
next in order. In France there are 1858
postoffices and there are only 7,0S4 in all
the great Russian empire. Japan has the
largest number of men employed in pro-
portion to the number of postoflces. IL
Ia a curious fact that Portugal has 1000
more postoffices than Spain. The small
est number reported from any country
Is the Congo Free state, which has only
ten offices and twenty-eight employees in
It's service.
In respect of the number OF letters pos
tai cards and newspapers handled, as we'll
as to the accuracy Of the service, the
United States stand at the head Of ma
tions. Germany comes second, Great
Britain third and Austria fourth. More
women are employed by Great Britain
In the postal service than by any other
nation. The postal card was invented in
Germany, and Is In more general use In
that country than anywhere else In tho
world. The United States exceeds all
other nations In the total circulation or
letters and newspapers. Our governmenk
sells more than 2,000,0O0,0 900 2.cent postage
stamps annually. over 600OO0,000 1-cent

paid brief visit to Leonardtown some
days ago.
Respect for Age.
The older place gets the more respect II
has for age, and towns like Leonardtown
invariably think great deal of their "old-
est inhabitants Alec Jaboe, known as
the centenarian of Leonardtown, although
really somewhat under hundred years OF
age. is nevertheless no longer young In
anything except appearance and actions.
He is great favorite in, Leonardtown,
especially among the young folks, and still
turns out to dance now and then, and
shakes foot with the best of them.
Leonardtown used to be great place for
hunters and fishermen. and there were al
ways many visitors here in the autumn,
after the other places along the river were
closed, to enjoy the fishing. Likewise in
spring the nimrods of Washington and
Baltimore came down in no small numbers
to shoot ducks. Lately both ducks and fish
have been scarce. but nevertheless there
are always some visitors here in winter as
well as during the summer months. There
Is no way of arriving at Leonardtown ex-
cept in the middle of the night, but thanks
to the steamboat schedules, You can leave
at comfortable hour in the afternoon
There is always motley array Of strap
p!ng negroes and sunburnt coIntrymen at
the wharf, for Leonardtown is quite a point

vania avenue. Morning is the only busy
part of the day for the good people Of
Leonardtown. Then there Is an air Of
metropolitan activity at the center Of the
town. and u group of OK carts, which are
the solution of .he rapid transit problem in
ST. Mary's county, are to be seen drawn up
in front of the hotel. There is much of
Importance to be done by their owners.
They must. of course, thoroughly discuss
the weather. Then there are the crops and
politics to be touched on, piece of calico
and a plug of tobacco to be purchased.
perhaps, and last, but not least, some bod-
ly refreshment to be taken in the far cor
ner of the hotel.
Hospitality the Rule.
One hears much of southern hospitality.
but here. if anywhere one experiences it
at it's best. The first thought man down
here has when he sees a visitor is not what
he can make out of him, but what he can
do for him. Nobody is in too much of a
hurry to pay any attention to you, and the
sojourner at Leonardtown will find himself
in the hands Of friends from his arrival at
the wharf until he steps aboard the boat
again.
Those who are spending the summer at
Leonardtown are having quiet but by no
means a dull vacation. 1t is tonic for
those who are weary of city life, and anx-
ious to get away from it for awhile. For.
though Leonardtown is but fifty miles, as
little Influenced by either Washington or
Baltimore as if it We're in Alaska. 1t has
no railroad, nor is any one specially anxious
that it should have. They are quite con-
tent.
I'm the hollow lotus land to live and lie re-
clined
On the hills like gods together, careless of
mankind
Washington visitors at Leonardtown
spend their time fishing and sailing, and
enjoying all the pleasure that life on the
water affords. Then there interesting
rambles about the surrounding country to
be taken books to read and people to talk
about on the cooi piaZZaS. and the frequent
dances for which Leonardtown is noted.
Best of all there is plenty of time for that
most important and enjoyable feature of
Notwithstanding. Few visitors in Leonard
town fail to put in good job at that. Nor
will anybody forget Leonardtown cooking,
the fried chicken. which the black-skinned
aunties SO well know how to prepare, and
the "co'n pone" hot from the oven. 1t Is
safe to say that nobody ever leaves here
without wishing that summer lasted. all the
year around, and his vacation likewise.
Among the Washingtonians who have
been enjoying Leonardtown good cheer at
Moore's Hotel this summer may he mem

HE CAME NEAR 1T.

Georges Marrow Escape In Saloon.
From the Chicago Daily Tribune.
1t was probably the first time he had
ever been inside OF saloon, and from the
reception he received it is more than prob
able 1t was also the last time. 1t never
would have happened but for an evil dis
posed straw nat that took advantage of a
chance gust of wind to roam into a State
street saloon and hide behind the bar.
The young man who owned the hat was
ambling quietly past the saloon, accom-
panied by young woman. They appeared
to be strangers in the city, they spent
much of their time gazing up at the build
tngs. More than this, there was an air
about the young man that plainly told he
had never partaken of anything more ex-
hiiarating than cherry phosphate, while the
young woman looked If 1t distressed her
even to walk in the same street where
there were people who retailed gin. Just
as the two passed in front of the willow
grabbed the young mans straw hat Ind
whisked it over the doors and out of sight
into the saloon. The young man gasped,
the young woman turned pale.
Il don't see how I can get it unless
said the young man.
But 1 am sure 1t Is a place where they
sell intoxicating liquors. said the young
woman.
"It cost 10 cents, and it's new" said the
young man.
What shall it profit man If he gain
the whole world and lose his own SOUL :"
softly quoted the young woman.
Finally. the young man timidly opened
the willow screens and looked In. The bar
tender had picked up the hat and seemed
to think it was a gift from Providence for
he had put it on his cropped head and was
admiring himself in the glass.
That's my hat, you know" said the
young man, who had edged up to the bar,
while the young woman peeped through
the swinging screens. The bartender looked
around.
Il think nit" he said.
But it is, and 1 want it," said the young
man.
The bartender looked sad.
"Ah. yer a-stringin me-"
He deiberated for moment, then said:
Put der dicer on yer nut, an If it fits
den I'll tink it's yours all right
The young man put on his hat and
started swiftly out.
Here yelled the barkeep. "Ain't yer
forgot something?"
why no. said the young man. 'Really
/ believe not"
Yes, yer have" said the barkeep. Come
back here and buy
The young woman at the door screamed
the young man grabbed his hat and rushed
from the saloon, and as he and the young
woman walked hurriedly away she said:
Think of it. George. You almost bought
alcohol in saloon
And George was observed to hole his hat
with both hands every time after that
when passing swinging yellow screens.

and the boat is backing out into the bay,
when a man runs out on the wharf and
calls out at the pilot house: Say, cap'n,
kin yer wait a minute?'
what for?'
"They's a calf and a gentleman up the
road as wants ter git aboard" replies the
Guestioner. with uninteiided disrespect to
the genus homo.
"All right" says the captain, and puts
back to the wharf. A wait of five or ten
minutes ensues. after which the calf and
the gentleman appear or the wharf. The
man wants to get on the worst kind of
way: the calf doesn't. Without bothering
about the gangplank. the former gives his
valise a toss and jumps on without any
assistance. Escorted by the whole crew
and prompted hy timely twistings of its
tail. the calf also finally gains the deck.
The board is drawn in once more and the
boat Is eff. A. H. w.
