and Lee, or any other regular Con-
federate officer or soldier, but every
living veteran of the Army of the
Potomac will and must demonstrate
against favors being granted by the
government to the guerrilla Mosby.
There are thousands of exUnion
soldiers in needy circumstances who
are fully as competent in every re-
spect as Mosby, and besides they
are honest men with good records,
and they are men who by their SER
vices to their country at time when
the life of that country hung trem-
bling in the balance, have well earn
ed any special favors that their
country may have to bestow.
But, pray, what claim, what right
can such a man as Mosby have on
or to the government that he should
be granted these continued favors?
This question beats the Chinese
puzzle, and l cannot solve it.

A short time ago the daily papers
contained the following dispatch:
WASHINGTON, July 17.-G Col jehn S.
Moshy. the Confederate leader during
the Civi. War, has been appointed a
snecial agent of the federal land Of
flee. He claims his present residence
is in California. He has been assign
ed to duty in Nebraska.
One of the most strange, If not
the most mysterious, things that
have been noticeable since the close
of the Civil War is the seemingly
constant care and solicitude with
which the government has watched
over and supplied the wants OF the
man mentioned in the above dis
patch. 1t may not be out of order
10 add few words Of an explana-
tory nature, so that the casual read
err may understand it better.
In the first place, it is a great
mystery-a sixteen puzzle-to me,
WHY or wherefore should this gov
eminent be so solicitous for the well
fare of this man Mosby. What
great things has he done for the
government or country? Did he
eight, bleed and die" in the Civil
War for the government that has
done so much for him? Did he Of
fer his services to the country dur
ing the Spanish or Philippine war?
If he did no one seems to know of it.
But there are men-plenty of
them-who do know something
about this "Colonel" Mosby before
the war and during it, and what
they know only makes it all the
more puzzling, as we'll as astonish-
ing, why the government should be
under any sort of obligations to
John S. Mosby. This man never
was "Confederate leader" or even
a Confederate soldier. l have far
better opinion of the late Confeder-
ate government than to think for

Rural Delivery Orders.

Postmaster General Smith has given
out the following order relative 10
rural delivery carriers:
Hereafter rural letter carriers
shall not act as agents, statesmen, SOL
EDITORS for express companies. letter

corporations or firms, nor engage In
anv business or avOcation which

mac.
And +. comes in the mystery
The government is certainly aware
of the character and reputation OF
Mosby, and yet he is the recipient
of its continued favors. Mosby's
command never carried a Confed-
crate flag, nor did any member of
his band ever claim that they were
regular troops or that they were mus
tering and fighting under the au-
thority of the Confederate govern
ment; but they did claim that their
command was an independent one,
and that they were fighting for
"glory, booty and vengeance
Hence they were outlaws, guerrillas
and robbers. And Mosby was their
chief.
Speaking of fighting, tfaes aay
history record the fact Of M0sby's
command ever fighting an equal
number of Union troops? Were
they ever found on a battlefield in
Virginia or elsewhere fighting in line
with regular Confederate troops? l
never saw or heard of Mosby's men
taking part in any general engage
ment. They were to be found on
the TANKS of the Union army, cut
ting off wagon trains, dashing into
hospital trains filled with wounded
soldiers, respecting neither hospital
or other flags; cutting off squads
of Union soldiers if caught away
from the main body; following the
Army of the Potomac on its marches
and counter marches, picking up
the boys who fell by the roadside or
those who strayed from the lines or
camps. This was the extent of the
"fghting" done by Mosby, and
mighty few men-sick, wounded or
well-ever fell into the hands of
this Quantrell of the East and lived
to tell of it.
No objection can be found to
any favors the government may be-

High Mountains of the Moon

The Leibnitz range attains enormous
attitudes above the average level of the
moons surface and is sometimes seen
projected far beyond the regular curva-
ture of disk, thus destroying the circu-
lar contour and giving it a notched or
serrated aspect. Several of the peaks
of these southern mountains measure
10000 feet in altitude. while one has
been estimated to attain the great
height of $4,000 feet. All the chief
mountains of the moon which can be
seen from the earth with a telescope
have had their heights ascertained. The
German observers. Beer and Maedler.
have calculated the height Of no fewer
than 1905 lunar mountains. The Do
riel mountains supply an instance of
great elevation, the peaks of the three
leading ones being between $4,000 and
10000 feet high. Among other lunar
peaks may be mentioned Huyghens,
1000 feet: Hadley, $1,000 feet; Brad
ley, 1900 feet. and Wolf, IL 200 feet.

LEARNING A TRADE.
The Danger of Making n Specials
of Beginner.

Tie Danger of Making n Specialist
of Beginner.
IL is generally TO the interest of an
employer that an apprentice should not
learn his trade as whole, but only Il
little section of it, says Joseph Horner
In Casters Magazine. 1t pays better
to keep a lad repeating the perform
ance of one section of his craft than
to teach him all. More money is made
But the apprentice becomes a young
specialist, prig in his teens. cocksuro
over some little piece of handicraft at
which he may earn something over his
normal wages, and many a lad does
face the world and try his luck in
other shops.
And therefore the best shops in
which to place lad are not the big es-
adjustments, but the small ones, where
every class of work is done and where
tools and appliances are often scant.
A lad will learn more in these than in
those replete with every appliance and
infinitely subdivided into sections and
groups.
The best training for lad today is
that which he can evolve for himself.
The greatest evil that can befall him
is to become a specialist and nothing
more while in his teens. Yet that is
what must happen if he spends several
years tending machines or doing re-
petitive, unvarying tasks in one big es-
tablishment.
The best training, therefore, today is
that gathered by the peripatetic youth.
If lad cannot gain experience in one
place, he should move about, gathering
as much as he can accumulate with
one firm, then on to another and at
tending training schools as opportunity
offers. His views become broadened,
he becomes self reliant, and in time,
having found his true work, he may
settle down as a specialist.

THE CUBANS SATISFIED.

From the statement made by George
L. Brayden, a prominent American bus
mess man residing in Santiago Cuba.
the terms laid down by the United
States with regard to the independence
OF the island are not so unpopular there
as many would have us believe. Mr.
Erayden says that while the terms may
cause dismay among the political ad-
venturers on the island they will be en-
tirely satisfactory to all substantial
Cubans who have any stake in the
country. They realize fully the necessi-
ty for stable government. Says Mr..
Brayden:
Only person who has been in the
island and has business interests there
can know how much the property owners
desire annexation; hundreds of infiuen-
tial men who favor this policy say moth
ing about it in public. They know that
with a government by Cuban freebooters
trey would be made to suffer for such
views. If the annexationist party, how
ever ever grows sufficiently strong to be
really a factor in the islands politics
