4 HELPING HAND.

II SHOULD $50
A brother languishing in sore distress,
And I should turn and leave him comfort
less,
When might be
Amesseuger OF hope and happiness
How could ask what I denied D
In my own heart Of bitterness supplied9
IfImight sing
A little song to cheer fainting heart,
And should seal my lips and sit apart,
When might bring
A bit OF sunshine for life's ache and smart.
How could I hope to have my grief relieved
II ! kept silent when my brother grieved?
And so know
That day Is lost wherein fail to lend
Ahelping hand unto some wayward friend /;
Butt show
A burden lightened by the cheer sent.
Then do hold the golden hours we'll spent,
And lay me down to rest in sweet content.

BETTER THAN in CUBA
POSTAL SERVICE In THE PHILIP
PINES is WELL CONDUCTED.
Report of Special Agent Erwin, Who
Was Sent to the Archipelago to
Make an Investigation.

WASHINGTON, Nov. Especial Agent
]. W. Erwin, of the Postoffice Department.
who has just returned from an investiga-
ton of the postal service in the Philippines,
has reported to the postmaster general that
the affairs Of the department of posts there
are in a most satisfactory condition. partic-
ularly as regards finances. The report
says that Director General Vaille person
ally receives all stamped paper sent to the
department Of posts, and counts it in the
presence of two witnesses. In addition to
the regular ledger account kept by the
cashier. Mr.. Vaille keeps private account
of the receipts and issues of stamped
paper This is a perfect check on
the cashiers account and enables him
at any moment to know for himself the
condition of his postal accounts. No one
has access to the principal stock of
stamped paper but the director general.
Mr.. Erwin says the system of accounts
kept by the cashier is entirely satisfactory.
the books being we'll kept and posted daily.
The director general exercises a careful
personal supervision OF the accounts OF all
the Offices and stations throughout the
archipelago and has inaugurated system
of inspections TO meet all requirements.
What impressed the inspector most, he
says, was the simplicity of the methods
ADOPTED ana the conservative CndTdcteT OI
the supervision.
1t has not been deemed necessary to or
ganize numerous bureaus and the work of
the department has been arranged so as to
secure the best results with the least ex-
penditure of money. There were 200 ma
tives Filpinos and Spanish, on the pay
roll of the postal and telegraph service
IN Manila at the time of the military &C.
cupation. The entire service in the arch
ipelago now employs only fifty-eight Amer
leans and fifty-five natives, exclusive OF
the soldiers detailed at military stations.
where the work is wholly performed by
the military forces. The services OF the
natives are reported satisfactory.
The inspector reports that the salary al
lowances are moderate, not greater than
would be paid In the United States, al
though. the cost of living is greater in the
Philippines. He says there is nothing TO at
tract people after the novelty has worn
off, and better allowances may have
TO be made. The postal service
in the Philippines is absolutely de-
pendent for transportation of mails
on the military service. and the re-
port says that while the military forces
favor active cooperation along the line,
this Is not secured sufficiently TO insure
good service The report says under pres
ent conditions Ii is not advisable to In
crease the number of postoffices. there be-
ing now twenty-one postoffices and forty
seven stations.
