covered on fire and was totally de-
stroyed in a few minutes, together
with Mr.. Burton's trottlng stallion |
'sSpurgeon," a quantity OF hay, sixty |
bushels of oats, blanket and robe. His
carriage was saved, but was badly
scorched. The horse Mr.. Burton
valued at $500. He came from fash
ionable trotting lines and has covered
a mile in 2:21a. The loss is estimated,
barn and contents, at $1,000; covered
by very small insurance. Whether
the fire was of incendiary origin or
the accidental work of hoboes is un-
certain. -Melrose Beacon.

Springfield Republicans: The postal SER
vice OF the United States last fiscal year
handled sIe6,653,544 in receipts and ex-
penses, and of this huge sum there was lost
to the government from burglary, fire, en-
bezzlement and all other forms of careless
ness and dishonesty only $I9,35S. Says a
well known and widely observant Washing
ton correspondent, 81 doubt" if any private
firm, bank or corporation, or any institution
in the world that receives and disburses
money, can show SO good record, and yet
we keep talking about the inef6ciency and
corruption ofthe public service" But hush
This will never do. If we talk this way
people may begin to think the government
is capable of taking hold of such monopolies
as the railroads and running them as com
mon carriers for the public benefit and not
as special discriminating carriers for certain
powerful private interests.

The name of Henryk Sienkiewiez,
author of "Quo Vadis," is familiar to
every reading American, yet, so far
as we know, it has never been signed
to anything in an American magazine.
In the December Century, however,
will be found a prose-poem of his,
Englished by his authorized transla-
tor, Jeremiah Curtain and not yet
published even in Polish. It is called
''The Judgment of Peter and Paul on
Olympus"

The man who gets the smallest NUMBER of
letters, says an exchange, IS the one who
complains most of the management of the
postofice. the man who complains of the
preacher pays the preacher least; the man
who runs down his town does least to build
it up; the man who does not take, and COM
plains the most of his home paper does the
least to make the paper success or public
benefit. He says the town is no good, and
that it is dead. But he is mistaken-he is
the corpse.
