Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
Bristow has inaugurated a new policy as
TO the establishment of postofiecs. The
last administration exercised very conser-
vative policy in dealing with this question,
holding that there were already too many
offices in operation and that it would be
better as q general proposition not to have
the offices too close together. The present
regime has determined to establish offices
wherever any reasonable amount of bust
ness can be secured with the idea of ac-
commodating as many people as possible
While some attention is being paid to the
rule that offices generally should not be
closer together than three miles this is not
a fixed limit and many exceptions have
been made The scheme is to provide mail
facilities wherever there Is sufficient num-
Der of people or amount of business that
would make it pay such questions as loca-
ton near a star or other route, however,
of course, figuring in the matter

An Insulting Peddfer.

As a general pest and trouble maker,
the man who wants to enlarge photo-
graphs is at the head of the list. He is
a traveller who drops into town and calls
at the house when the husband is away
and by use OF a glib tongue and false
promises ecure some kind cf an order
for his goois. When the enlarged pie
ture shows up it proves to be inferior
and the work so'poor that the people are
ashamed to have it. About u year ago
one of these fellows tried the game here
and when it would not work threatened
the lady OF the house with Il lawsuit and
took disreputablp means to brighten her,
aiding insults TO threats. Blu, the hus-
band got hold OF the picture agent and
dealt with him rather -unmarily. The
follow was arrested last week in Visalia
while follow ing out his usual line OF ac-
lion. The enlarged picture of a young
lady was refused and he threatened 10
tn hang it up in Il house of ill-iame. He
is out on $3.50 bonds to keep the peace.
The ladies should learn a lesson by this
to let travelling pe,lt.lerS alone and do
blu ,iness With pe opie Whpm ttey know
to be reputable.
