Mr.. Heath says the service so far has
resulted in increased postal receipts,
enhancement of the value of farm lands
reached by rural free delivery from 50 to
$3 per acre; general improvement OF
the condition of the road traversed by
the rural carriers; better prices for farm
produce, the producers being brought
into daily touch with the state of the
markets, besides educational benefits
conferred by relieving the monotony of
farm life through ready access to daily
papers and wholesome literature and
knowledge OF current events.
Between the beginning of the new fiscal
wear, July l, 1899, and November 1, at
an additional expenditure of $15O,0OO,
rural free delivery has been extended to
nearly 1901 persons, at an annual
cost Of about S4 cents percapital against
an average per capita cost of $3.50 in

office, while on the contrary, it is a great
accommodation to the farmer to be
spared drive of five or ten miles over
country roads to get his mail. In a
recent public discussion, advocates of
the system who took the value of the
time lost in the busy farming season at
only 90 cents per head, found that their
figures ran up into many millions of
dollars lost to the agricultural interests
through being obliged to send to the
village for the mails"

GREAT HELP TO FARMERS
Rural Delivery Proving a Com
plete Success.
ITS OPERATION IN MICHIGAN
First Assistant Post er-General Heath's
Report Shows 1t To Have Been Very
Satisfactory.

Washington, Nov. 5.-The rural free
delivery section OF First Assistant Post
master-General Heaths report for the
fiscal year ending June so, 1890, was
given out today. 1t is OF special interest
at this time, when the demand for rural
tree delivery OF mail is so general, as it
shows the growth of that branch OF the
postal service from It's beginning in 1896
to the present time.
Both Postmasters-6eneral Bissell and
Wilson were opposed to the establish
ment of rural free delivery service. The
latter, " 18th much reluctance, began ex-
periments in this line three years ago on
"A routes in 20 states.
1t became a popular institution from
the start and Gen. Heath says that:
"Within the past two years, largely
by the aid OF the people themselves, who,
in appreciation OF the helping hand
which the government extends to them,
have met these advances half way, il
has implanted itself so firmly upon the
postal administration that it can no
longer be considered in the light OF an eX-
pertinent, but has to be dealt with as an
established agency OF pro ress, awaiting
only the action of congress TO determine
how rapidly it shall be developed.
There are nine routes in operation in
Michigan, as follows: Benton Harhor-

Washington, November 6.-The re-
port of First Assistant Postmaster.
General Heath in regard to the opera
lions of rural free delivery during the
past year shows that on November l.
1899, there were thirteen free delivery
services in successful operation In
Michigan and about 3S3 throughout
the country generally, covering forty
states and one territory. The expense
of operating 243 routes generally serv-
ing a population of 100000 people, has
been about $4,000 which the depart
ment figures 10 be cost per capita
Of the population of "a cents. Among
the reports Of special agents In the
field is included one from Special
Agent Henry Cass0n, who operated In
Michigan and Wisconsin. Col. Casson
reports that since May 10 he has ex-
| amined and recommended the esta b.
lishment Of services at the following
places in Michigan:
Lansing, Ingham Co., one route;
Grassville, Jackson Co., one route; Up
silanti, Washtenaw Co., three routes.
THE farmers of Michigan and Wis
consin are thoroughly Interested In this
question aud rural free delivery" says
| Col. Casson In his report. "At Saline.
! Washtenaw Co., Mich, 1t was expect
ed that the special agent would visit
| that locality when examining the pro-
posed routes at Ypsilanti. Farmers
had procured banners on which were
printed in large letters We want rural
free delivery These were fastened on
barns, houses and out-buildings over
the whole district of the route pro-
posed to be established. AS no instruc-
tons had been received from the de-
partment to examine this route L did
not view it. but mention this instance
as showing the interest taken by these
people.
II found the people at South Haven
very much pleased with their two ru-
raj routes. There Is a large influx of
summer visitors at this place, and the
: amount Of mail handled by the car
riers is simply enormous. All spoke in
the highest terms of the service and of
the obliging character Of the carriers.
The permanent resident population
are very strongly in favor Of the ex-
tension Of the service at this point
I'm conclusion, permit me to say
that the service Is popular with people
OF all classes and conditions. Those
who are not receiving 1t are anxious
to have its benefits. Those who are re.
ceiving 1t would be very unwilling to
lose It,"
Col. Casson reports that very general
interest Is manifested by the farmers
In the establishment of rural free de-
livery. He says the only obstacle spe-
cial agents meet Is the opposition of
merchants who run country stores and
fourth-class postoffices as a medium
for drawing trade. The general tenor
of the reports received from the spe-
cial agents Is that there is wide
spread demand for the service, that it
contributes largely to better farm con-
ditions, Is instrumental in conducting
the construction Of better roads and
causes an increased valuation of lands

TALK WITH THE
 BOYS AND GIRLS
Eome Lucky Little Children to Whom Dame Fortune Will Be Quite
 Generous

There are few boys and girls who would not like to be born rich, but it is not so good thing for you as you may imagine to have everything in the world you want, even if it is a fact that money can give you everything. which we are disposed to doubt. Good health and good mine are far more to be desired. In fact if you have these you are richer by far than children who only have millions of dollars, because with them you may carve your own for tune.
 Gordon Hamersley is little boy who is heir to the colossal fortune of the Hamers- ley family, and is delicate, fragile little man. Marjorie Gould is one of the richest little girls in America. There is little Teddy Havemeyer who is to have an in- mense fortune that was made by selling sugar.
 Norman whitehouse, Chapman Grant. grandson of U. S. Grant; Philip Armours $ little son, and many other tots who you may think are to be envied as the children of parents possessing fortunes too big all most to be estimated.
 Do you know why you are better off than they? It is fact that to develop charac- ter 1t is necessary, as Mrs. Louisa Chick says, ito make an effort It follows that little people who are nursed pampered and over indulged in childhood and brought up in the full knowledge of riches already &C., cumulated. can not develop as strong character as the boy or girl who is deprived of these things.
 Let me tell you a story. A great natur- alist once found brown chrysalis about to emerge from it's shell as butterfly. He watched it's struggle until he began to feel a great pity and sympathy for the poor lit- tie creature, and thought he would be kind in helping it release itself from it's prison. thereby save it the trouble and pain it must endure if it worked its on way out.
 He did so, but the butterfly came out so ugly a brown and with such weak wings that he was sorry and disappointed He turned to watch another going through the same struggles. This time he did not help it. but saw it writhe and squirm and twist and wiggle itself out of the shell with out lending it any assistance. As he De- held it's many beautiful celors and saw with what strength and grace 1t rose and scared lightly away he sighed and was sor- rier still that he. by unwisely giving assis- tance. had deprived the other fly of its rightful share of strength and beauty.

 Colorado Springs, Colo, July 31, 1899. Editor Children's Department, Age-Herald
 We left home Tuesday, July Il, 1899, and arrived at Colorado Springs the following Friday. We came by Memphis and Kansas City. In Memphis we visited park, and it was just full of little squirrels. They were so gentle that they would eat out of my hand I, too, wish we had squirrels in the Birmingham parks. This country is so diff ferent from the country at home that I wish all of the girls and boys at home could see it. We are on the slope of the Rocky Mountains From our hotel we can see Pike's Peak; it Is 14.i47 feet high. There is snow on the peak all the time. wish you could see the cog-wheel railroad that goes up the peak; it cost a haaf million dollars to build it. The engine pushes the car in going up, and is in front of it coming down. Hooked at the peak through tel escope yesterday, and could see three trains on top of 1t, and one was moving. I could see the people walking about up there.
 At Monitau. six miles from here, there is A soda spring, and you don't have to pay cents a glass for soda water. A boy stands there and gives everybody all they want to drink We have visited Cheyenne canon, and 1t was as nice AS 1t could be.
