New Form of Postal Money Order.

The Post Office Department has
adopted new form of domestic
money order, which will be intro
duced gradually, or as supplies of the
old form become exhausted, at the
various post offices throughout the
country, after the 4th of September.
The new form is somewhat smaller
than the one now in use. It's dimen-

bank draft. 1t has two adiuncts-the
advice or notification to be sent by
the issuing office to the paying post
master, is reproduction of the order
through the use of carbonized paper
(the manifold process), and a receipt
for the amount, to be furnished by
the issuing postmaster to the remit
ter.
On the back of the order separate
space has been provided for the
stamps of banks through which it
may be passed for collection.
In color the order is blue, having Il

ANTAGONIZED THE STEER
An Amateur Photographer at the
Tying Contest.

The life of H. I. Latham was nearly
sacrificed TO his enthusiasm over ANA
teur photography on Friday afternoon.
Mr.. Latham was at the steer tying con-
test trying to take snapshots at ex-
citing and critical scenes. Once
vaquero threw a steer and MI La
than disregarding the danger of his
move, rushed into the enclosure and
began adjusting his camera so as to
get the best and most realistic view Of
d steer in the act of being tied, on
record. But something happened then
that happened so often that day. The
steer wouldn't lie still to be tied, but
arose hurriedly with ferocious bel
low. His first inclination, of course,
was to charge the vaquero, but some
thing attracted his attention. 1t was
Mr.. Latham. Mr.. Latham, as many
persons have observed during the sum-
mer and fall months, has steadily, con-
sistently and unfiinchingly Worn low

cut shoes and stockings of the most
aggravating red. Nobody took the
trouble to inform him that December
was a winter month, so that he was
at the steer tying contest in his sum-
mer fOOtgear. The effect OF
those stockings on the already
irritated steer was infammatory.
The animal looked upon them
as a personal insult. He snorted
in angry surprise. Then he took "a
more comprehensive view of Mr.. La
than, whose hair is of hue calculated
to arouse bovine antagOnism. If the
steer had been thrown into state of
indecision by the red stockings, as to
whom to attack. Mr.. Latham's hair
threw him out of it. He made a rush
for the amateur photographer and he
made rush for the fence. If the car
nival committee had hung up a prize
for sprinting Mr.. Latham would have
pulled it down.

Kicked and Pricked.

A prominent citizen whose family
left by the Moana two weeks ago
received letter by the America
Maru stating that they had safely
reached San Francisco after a very
pleasant voyage. The Moana met
the U. S. T. Senator and calls we're
made between the two ships.
The Captain of the Moaua asked
his passengers whether they
would object to his steauing out Of
his course to look for the ship Elihu
Thompson, the arrival of which is
looked forward to in San Francisco
with some Anxiety. This step would
of course mean the loss OF some
time. All the passengers agreed to
be put to the Inconvenience with
the exception of one-an English
man who claimed that it would be
"beastly nuisance, don't cherknow,
to bother about sugar loaded ship"
In response to his kick, he found
his bunk filled with copper tacks
when he went to rest that night and
they pricked him. The kicking was
of no avail, because the Captain in
the interest of humanity went out
of his course, but unfortunately saw
40 signs of the missing ship. The
laughter was on the kicker, but he
never said a word.
