A new department has been ad-
ded this year-that Of short hand or
stenography. It is believed that
this study will be of great benefit
to pupils not only for its practical
advantage, but also because of the
disciplinary power to be gained in
the work. Miss Helen Richards,
who is a competent and practical
stenographer, will give three lessons
per week on this subject.
All the advantages Of this school
may be enjoyed without charge by
any bona fida resident of the city
under 21 years of age. Non residents
may avail themselves of these oppor-
tunites by the payment of $1.25 per
month. Young people preparing to
teach or who do not plan to take a
regular course, may select their
studies, subject to the approval oil

Since the money press has deemed it
proper and necessary to attack the Unit
ed States postal service it behooves all
friends Of good American institutions
to come to their aid. The fight is On. If
the American people desire to retain
possession of the %postotfice service, they
must stand ready to protect it. Leading
metropolitan papers are declaring that
it is a failure and should be placed i'll
the hands Of private capital.
They lie, and they know they lie. They
lie for an object. The postotfice is an
object lesson to the people. 1t shows
them what government service can do
for them even under the most u%nfavor-
able circumstances 1t points the way
to the national ownership of railways,
mines and other natural m%onnopolies;
hence it is necessary for the corporation
press to traduce the postoffice and point
to a t%rif1ing deficit as a reason why it
should pass into the hands OF a Rookie
Teller or a Morgan.
If a 3 cent stamp were used instead
Of a 2, the surplus would be
AS it is. there has been a slight deficit.
There are no fractional parts of a cent
in use. One-half Of one mill added to a
stamp would create a surplus. New

4 Fight With Two Eagles.

From the London Telegraph
A rural postman named Zephirin Bon
troux has to tramp every day with letters
from ST. Bonnet to st. Etienne in Devolny,
in the department of the Hautes Alpes.
Zephirin was trudging along as usual the
other day when a snow storm came on,
and i'm order to save his eyes he sat down
on the roadside. turning his back on the
binding blizzard. Hardly had he seated
himself when two immense eagles pounced
down on him and began to attack him with
their beaks and claws. Zephirin was for
tunately provided with thick cudgel hav-
ing an iron point. He charged at the birds
of prey and hurt one of them. but not suf-
ficiently to make ii abandon the contest.
Suddenly the two eagles swooped down
again from the heights on the postman.

wing. Being an agile person, Bontroux
soon recovered his equilibrium, and for
nearly quarter of an hour kept the eagles
away from his head. which they wanted to
get at. His stick rendered him good SER
vice, and after desperate efforts to defend
himself he had the satisfaction of seeing
the birds soar upward through the falling
snow. Bontroux, although much fatigued
by his exertions, reached his destination
safely, and went to a doctor I'm order TO
have few scratches which he had receiy-
ed in the hands attended to.
