Call Is by Our Name

EDITOR STAE-SeveraI Of Us
" no are members Of the Anti

noticed the manner in which one
Of our city papers has perverted
referring to it. The Banner in
two Of its late issues. refers TO
US as the |'Anti-Open Saloon
League" Such reference is un-
kind, and calculated TO do us in
injustice. Does the Banner mean
to insinuatc by its addition Of the
FOpen' to our name that we are
only opposed to, and are only
working for the abolition Of the
open saloon? Our object is the
abolition Of the saloon, which
means not only the open saloon,
but also the "bIrnd tiger, " should
the latter be brave enough to
appear in defiance to the eN-
tremeIy strict law passed by our
last legislature relative TO the
same. If the county goes dry
land the indications point very
strongly that way and the sa-
loon men undertake TO defy the
new law relating TO ''blind tigers
we have a committee in our
league that will be ready to meet
them. So YOU see, Nh Editor,
what we are organized for, aud
what we intend to accomplish
We trust that in the future We
will have no further reference
made to us being the Anti Open
Saloon League. Call us by our
name, please.-'Ihe Anti-SaIOOn

women who Carry the Mail.

There are two women mail carriers
in southern Berkshire who are doing
satisfactory work and appear to enjoy
the business. Miss Louise Marcome
drives the stage between Curtisyille
and Stockbridge, making two trips
day. a distance of some four miles As
there is no railroad station at Curtis
Vile she does quite an express business
and has number Of passengers Miss
Marcome is about 20 years old and has
been driving some four years She Is
noted for her promptness in making the
trips and her close attention to business.
The other woman stage driver has been
on the road for about six months She
is Miss Olive Oakes Of Egremont, who
carries the mail from North Egrement
TO Great harrington. She is 21 and was
learning the dressmaking business when
her father, who has the contract for the
stage line, was taken sick, and Miss
Oakes took his place temporarily. He
grew worse and died about two months
ago. She has continued to drive the
stage. This is hard trip foI woman,
the dlstance DtluS solno siA HiicSf ~H~
she makes two trips day, and as she
lives midway between the two post
Offices this gives her considerable extra
travel. These women do not use the
regulation stage that is seen in pictures,
but light wagons. Their principal cargo
is the mail and light express packages.
The passengers do not number over one
or two on a trip except on special ccca-
sions.-Springfeld Republican.

"Furs become very much soiled and

part of a wolaan's wardrobe, says
Emma NJ. Hooper in The Ladies' Home

one seldom finds anything regarding
furs. Furriers keep all such trade secrets
strictly, but occasionally there Is a

black marten, are cleaned with fine
cedar or mahogany sawdust, which Is
kept In stock by furriers.
"The garment is ripped free from the
lining and the fur laid ON n table with
the hair up; then the sawdust is rubbed
in the hair and neither strength nor
sawdust spared during the process.
When finished, shake the for lightly
over the table and save the sawdust that
drops out. Then put upon the table one
or two feather pillows in their usual
muslin slips, and upon these lay the
furs, bair down this time, and beat
thoroughly with a switch until the saw
dust is out and the fur as clean as a

fur must have a soft support while
