GOOD RECORD FOR POST OFFICE
st. Louis Shows Up Well in Audi
tors Report.

The annual report Of the aduitor Of the
st. Louis post office for the fiscal year has
been compiled. One of the most interesting
features of the report Is the table of sta
tistics. showing the comparative economy
of management between the various city
post offices of the country. As the offices
in all the larger cities are housed in Govern
ment buildings. free of expense for rent,
fuel and light, it seems apparent. the audi
tor observes. that a somewhat Uniform
percentage of expenditure to revenue would
be likely to prevail among them. That such
Is not the case is apparent at a glance at
the table, showing the percentage of eX-
penditures to gross receipts in the Offices OF
the ten principal cities, as follows:

ANSlINGER CASE CONTINUED.
Attorney Would Establish Mental
Irresponsiblity of Client.

Edward Anslinger, who is charged with
contempt OF court for attempting to infu-
ence the members of a jury in his brothers
case, was arraigned before Judge Wood yes
terday. s. s. Bass. Anslinger's attorney,
contended that tampering with a jury had
ceased to be contempt of court, but the
state statutes had made Ii a misdemeanor,
punishable by fine and Imprisonment. An
singer, he said. had already been arrested
on a bench warrant. which showed that ne
was to be prosecuted under the State law.
Mr.. Bass then argued that Anslinger could
tense.
Judge Wood disa greed with him. and Mr..
Bass then introduced witnesses to prove
that Edward Anslinger was not mentally re-
spons1bie for his actions. Doctor F. NJ.
Hochdoerfer and Justice Charles Boettger
testified to this. Judge Wood continued the
sideration.
EDWARD Anslinser is a brother of Frank
Ansiinger, who is charged with illegal voL-
ing at the spring election.

Ga. to Burn and Ga. to Drink.

When natural gas Is mentioned in this
country IT is generally understood TO mean
such as is found and used for heating and
manufacturing purposes in the coal and pc
troleum regions. In Europe. however, the
only natural gases known are the sulphuric
gas about the regions of Vesuvius and
Aetna, and the carbonic-acid gas in the ex-
tinct volcanic region along the German
Rhine.
In order to become acquainted with these
various gases one has TO visit the districts
in which they abound. except in the case of
the natural carbonic-acid gas with which
millions all over the globe are now ac-
Quafnted, because of the wide distribution
Of Apollinaris water, bottled at the Apol-

that this natural gas. besides rendering the

Germany Is proud of its natural gas. and
Its text books on watering places and
springs make much of its valuable region

"vERDICT SHOCKS
THE MORAL Sense"
New York Justice Sets Aside
Judgment for $500 for "A
Child's Life.

New York, Nov. B.-Justice OiGorman, in
the Supreme Court to-day, of his own mo-
ton, set aside a verdict for $500 in favor
of Julius Wiltzen. who sued the Metropoli-
tan Street Railway Company for $4,000 for
the death of his 5-year-old SON. Lawrence,
on the ground that such a verdict was ut
terly inadequate.
The action Is said to be without precedent
in the New York courts.
In setting aside the verdict. the Justice
said: THE verdict rendered in this case
is so grossly inadequate and indefensiblc
thai 1t should not be allowed to stand. The
verdict is perverse and the damages are ar
bitrarily and capriciously fixed at such a
low figure as to shock the moral sense.
''The plaintiff Is in no manner responsible
for the miscarriage of Justice, and to i'm
pose costs as a condition of setting the YER
Diet aside and granting a new trial is to
emphasize the wrong to which the jury has
already subjected him."

StinEy ClerEynen.

Once in great while youth is
found with morbid desire to hoard.
Personally we have known but few
such, but in them the habit grew
until they became notorious for
meanness, says a writer in the
Christian Advocate. A story is told
of a celebrated bishop, who grew
so mean that one day when he cut
his finger with a penknife and no
court-plaster could be found, cler-
gyman standing by brought out his
card case and took from it five
cent stamp and gave it to the bishop
to use to stop the flow of blood.
The bishop accepted it gratefully,
placed the five-cent stamp in his
own cardcase, and then took out
one-cent stamp and pasted it over
the still bleeding wound. This
seems almost too much to believe.
But celebrated minister in New
England was offered a hat by hat
ter who was a friend of his, and
who admired him in most respects.
He asked him if he had another
kind. ''Yes," he said, though not
quite so good as that" He said
he would like to see one, and asked
what the price of the first one was,
and was told five dollars, and of the
second three dollars. SWELL" said
he, "as you offered me the first one
If / should take the second, would
you give me the difference in
money!" A young person should
not be a. spendthrift, neither should
he be stingy.

Silence IL Golden.

Though very fond of stories, and
an excellent raconteur himself, Ru-
binstein was rather taciturn. Once,
it is reported, Scotch friend of his,
whom he liked very much, went
home with him one night after a
concert at Glasgow.
Both gentlemen sat down to tea
and cigarettes, and as midnight
struck they had not yet exchanged
a word. Finally the guest risked a
bold and novel query: "Do you like
Beethoven"
Rubinstein emptied his cup and
said, softly: beethoven good"
Half an hour later came another
question:: "And how do you like
Wagner?'
To which Rubinstein, throwing
away a cigarette, said: wagner
not good"
Having exhausted his stock of in
quisitiveness, the Scotch friend of
the Russian pianist got up to bid
his host pleasant rest.
"Stay yet, my FRIEND" said Rubin
stein; II like your conversation
very much"
And both remained still drinking
tea and smoking cigarettes in pro-
found silence until three a. m.
struck, when they wished one an
other good night and parted.-Lon-
don Tit-Bits.
