POSTAL. CARD
Delivered After Travelling Distance of
$1,000 Miles.


Chicago Chronicle: A faded, travel
stained postal card was delivered to
Lieut.. G. e. Gelm, in charge of the
United States photographic office in
the Masonic temple, which was mailed
last April. It had followed the naval
officer nearly around the world before
reaching him. and travelled q 900
miles. The postal was addressed to
Lieut.. Gelm April /. at Washington.
and contained the simple information
that his annual dues as member of
the Navy Mutual Aid association for
the current period had been received
and properly credited. The card was
first addressed to the naval pay office
at San Francisco, but as 1t was learned
that Lieut.. Gelm. was on board the
gunboat Bennington in the Philip
pines, it was promptly forwarded to
Manila. When the postal arrived
there it was found that the naval OH
Ger had gone to the island of Cebu,
and it was dispatched to that port. It
reached there just two days after
Lieut., Gelm had left for the United
States. BY this time the front of the
card was covered with addresses and
interlined Instructions for delivery.
The naval officers had 1t returned to
the sender at Washington and 1t
reached there Nov. TO- In the mean

A Curious Accident.

A curious accident took place as
Brookfield, Ind. A local freight train
was backed into siding to allow .
fast freight train to pass. The switch
was left open. however. and the fast
freight, travelling at the rate of thirty
miles an hour. dashed into it. The
crews of both trains jumped The I'M
pact of the collision was so severe as to
drive the tender of the stationary train
off it's truck, and teleseeping cattle
car, which was loaded with coal, it
rested half on the top of the third
car. On the fast freight car loaded
with hogs was telescoped by one load
ed with shelled corn, and the animals
not killed in the collision were smoth-
cred by the corn. 1t is said that the
locomotives are so interloeked that
dynamite will be required to separate
them.

Fad MANY Practical Ideas.

John stackhouse Bailey, the sun, dian
maker Of Centerville, Bucks county,
was one of the first Pennsylyanians to
appreciate the aesthetic ard fnancia-
value of the tall hall clock, the spin
ming wheel, the Dutch stove, the four
most bedstead and the other colonial
and precolonial furnishings that used
to litter the atttcs of old farmers. The
farmers then used to send for him and,
working off, say, magnificent old
table of mahogany for SIS, would
laugh to think how they had bested
him, when he. a week or SO afterward,
would make profit of about 500 per
cent or the purchase.
