CURIOSITY REGARDING MAIL.

CURIOSITY REGARDING MAIL.

clerk at the postottice, that
standing joke about the conn
try postmistress who read all
postal cards before sire sent
them out in the mail or deliver
ed them to their owners, but
really it is astonishing how much
curiosity the general public
have regarding other peoples
letters. l have noticed that
nine times out of ten, if L car
rier by error leaves a letter
addressed to Jones with Smith
the latter almost iuvaribly
although he should know it is
not intended for him, will
promptly proceed to open it.
And the same with Il letter
that is at all doubtfully adj
dressed, If the carrier once
lets it go out OF his hands for
inquiry, it will almost iuvart-
ably be returned to him opened;
and this not by class of
people from whom you might
expect such things, out by
people who are way up in the
social scale, and who certainly
know better. 1t is astonishing
how general this habit is, and
how many people are afflicted
with a curiosity which was sup
posed to be the weakness of our

ARE YOU A NEIGHBOR?

Ladies sometimes buy goods

proves embarrassing and fire.
quently harmful to the busl-
ness of their husbands. They
are not aware how sensitive
local patronage is to this breach
of the reciprocity rule. Town
after town in Missouri has been
ruined by the citizens buying
abroad. Do not start Nevada

Detract from the prosperity
of one line of trade and you
drive nail in the coffin Of the

small purchase that you make
from a pedler or a foreign

one else to send their money
ont of town. and the dollar
which goes away does not come
back,
Make it your boast that you
buy everything at home and do
all you can to induce others to
do so. That is the way to make
the town prosperous. The mer-
chants Of Nevada keep excel

is any thing you wish outside of
those stocks they will order it

Don't let people say hard

If you could be on he streets as

A BACHELORS REFLECTIONS.
The only people VINO know
that love dies only with the
soul are those who can't marry
each other.
Any woman can fall out of
her slippers, but no matter how
small her feet are she can never
fall in t them.
When a mosquito bites a
woman low down between the
shoulder blades she feels most
as put out as if man had
scratched her there.
At 80 Il man ought to know
better than to marry woman
he would have married at 20;
at 40 he ought to know better
than to marry at all.
Love is a jewel; marriage is
only setting.
Lots of men get married just
SO as to be amused.
A slumber song is one that is
written to keep grown up people
awake.
Most women have no doubt
that heaven is very different
from what they think it is.
If the women took to going to
church and leaving their babies
in charge of men they would be
just as likely as to come home
some time and find them cooked
fer dinner. Y. Press.

In Ohio the Republican Gov
ernor is elected by minority
vote. But until the total vote
is obtained it is impossible to

There trusts and imperialism

There can be no other interpre

condemnation of the President

The announcement that Mr..
