Governor Smith, who was in san Fran

$4,000 to secure his election, tho he
claimed it was thru regular methods.
The resolution pending in the senate

that OF Quay. because the Montana
legislative proceedings show that Clark

e The fact that the senior law claes

nor Shaw Of Iowa as the republican
candidate for vice president carries
more or less significance with 1t. II
has directed very general attention TO
the 1owan and the things that have
been said about him have been in the
highest sense complimentary. The Chi

the action Of the Yale students should

BURIAL ROUTE SUGGESTION.

Where the rural routes obtain, the APP
preciative farmer studies the situation
and forecasts improvements. One of
the suggestions worthy of consldera-
tion is that the carrier make the trip
from opposite directions every other
day, thus serving In the morning the
patron who the day previous waited
until evening for his mail. AT present
the routes reverse once in six months.
The farmer who made the suggestion
claimed that greater fairness 10 each
patron and a better service might be
obtained by reversing each trip. The
farmer who has fat stock ready for the
market finds an evening delivery too
late for his purposes. If shipper he
isfaction, order cars and drive or haul
to the station the stock to tillthenl. ii
he sells to the local buyer nearly 4 he
Same routine is to be gone thru. The
farmer on the far5 end doesn't see Why
he shouldn't divide the early service
with his contemporary on the near
end. There are six months in the year
when marketing is slow and he may
get the wrong end from his point of
View. An en,irely even break he
thinks may be secured by a daily re-

A Persistent Poet.

Although r. K Munkittrick has an
enviable reputation as humorist, yet
he is not the quickest man in the
world to see a joke when it is played
on himself. Mr.. Gibson, one of the
editors of Puck and also practical
joker, arranged for a special jest to
be administered to Mr.. Munkittrick.
/ He had provided a trick telephone
which emitted shower Of flour when
anybody spoke into it.
+. When Mr.. Munkittrick had arrived,
it was suddenly discovered that the
paper had gone to press and that his
copy was too late. There was only
one chance, Mr.. Gibson said. and that
was to telephone to the printer and
tell him to stop the presses until his
matter should be set up and inserted.
He asked Mr.. Munkittrick to go to the
phone at once.
Then the staff sat and held their
sides, waiting for the explosion. Final
ly Mr.. Gibson rushed to the telephone
and found his friend deluged in flour,
but still persistently calling "Hello!'
through the phone.
He led him back and carefully eX-
planned the joke.
When he finished, Munkittrick calm
ly remarked:
"Still. think we ought to let the
printer know about the copy; don't
you ?"-Saturday Evening Post.

Gated by any metal worker today. He
says that in examining hundreds Of
specimens alleged to have been temper
ed to the degree that steel is tempered
he failed to find any, nor had he dis

work, and the fable which has been
implicitly believed for centuries is be-
ing shattered in the light Of modern re-
search
This is not the only story believed for
centuries tending to belittle the man OF
today, to make him the inferior Of his
forefathers. which failed under the
searchlight Of inquiry and science. The
ancients were children in mechanical
knowledge as compared to the people
of today, and If there was a demand
