Wichita, Kan, Sept H. -Ex-Post-
master Roberts, of Greensburg, Kan,
is being investigated by the grand
jury here for defrauding the govern.
ment while acting as postmaster. He
is charged with telling people when
they came to purchase money orders
that he was just out but that stamps
would do just as well. In this manner
he increased his cancellation profits.
The discrepancy was discovered by
the present postmaster, who says he
can only make $40 per month, while
Roberts made 500.

Boyhood,s Happy Days.

I'd like to be boy again, with
out woe or care, with freckles
scattered on my face and hay seed
in my hair. I'd like to rise at four
O'Clock and do hundred chores
and saw the wood and feed the hogs
and lock the stable doors; and herd
the hens and watch the bees and
take the mules to drink; and teach
the turkeys how to swim so that
they wouldn't sink; and milk about
a hundred COWS and bring the wood
to burn; and stand out in the sun
all day and churn, and churn and
churn; and wear my brothers cast
off clothes and walk four miles tc
school and get licking every day
for breaking some old rule, and
then get home again at night and
do the chores some more, and milk
the COWS and feed the hogs and
curry mules galore; and then crawl
YEARLY up stairs to seek my little
bed and hear dad say: .'That worth
less boyl He isn't worth his breadI"
I'd like to be boy again-a boy
has SO much funI His life is just
round of mirth from rise to set of
sun. guess there's nothing pleas
anter than closing stable doors and
herding hens and chasing bees and
doing evening chores.

a word to tairis TrayeIing Alone /

a few words about how a young
woman should conduct herself
when travelling, There is no coun-
try in the world where women are
treated with more respect than in
America, and 1t is proverbiaI that
they may travel from one end of
the country to the other without
being moIested or annoyed. if they
are sufficiently dignifed. But this
is a very large "if,'' and it means
that girls should be very careful
whom they speak toor even look
at when travelling alone. Men
very often will offer newspapers
and magazines to women on board
train or boat. 1t is safer to ac-
cept nothing from a stranger, as it
invariably lends to conversation.
Conversation of any kind with any
one of the opposite sex whom you
do not know is considered very
bad form, and generally dangerous.
There is no necessity for being
prndish and prim, but be perfectly
natural, and refuse all offers of po-
Iiteness from strangers in quiet,
but firm manner. Buy your own
ticket, check your own baggage,
and keep to yourself. It may not
be quite SO amusing. but tits far
safer in the end, and may save you
a great deal of annoyance.-Dem-
orest's Magazine.
