Washington, April l5.--The assistant at
torney general for the postoffice depart
ment has ruled that the amendment at
tached to the current appropriation act,
limiting the hours of work for letter car
riers throughout the country to 4S hours
week, expires with the act itself on June
Soth next. After that date, therefore, the
pcstofiice department will reenact the rules
OF the eight hour law of March "a, 1888.
The amendment at the time of its con-
s'deration in congress was fought by the,
association Of letter carriers and the de.
partment found it expensive to enforce it.
The eight hour law specifically provides
for eight hours day, while the amend
ment allowed the average Of this amount
OF work so as to keep within the limit of
AZ hours in the six days of labor.

Uncle Sa ma and Cuba.

Havana, April l5.-At the opening of
the secret session of the constitutional COM
vention Senior Nunez asked that the con-
vention either reject or accept the Platt
amendment, as the resolution adopted the
day before was not formal declaration
and was misleading.
This was opposed by the radicals, who
have always avoided taking decided
stand. The conservatives were pleased at
the point and as split was threatened
among the radicals compromise was Of
fered and agreed to, by the terms of which
resolution was adopted by which the
convention would not express itself either
for or against the amendment and that q
committee be sent to Washington to secure
the best possible agreement with the presi-
dent. This committee will not be author
lied to settle definitely the question of the
relations betw cen the United States and
Cuba, but will report back to the conven-
ton.

WHEN THE OLD FARM is SOLD
The Former Owner Is "enerA'
comfortable In HIS New
Quarters.

How difficult il is for one who sells
mis- home farm TO again place himsei
in as good shape as before he SOLO
He finds that 'he associations when
20 with the farm cannot be replaced
He had become familiar with every
rod of land on his farm, the rocks
and trees, the hills and brooks and
the pats ways were his old acquaint-
ances and there was an air OF home
and friendship al around. After ne
has sold all these come before nm.
He may have received large price
for his farm, bur that does not COM
pensate for his loss, says the North
ampton (Mass.) Gazette. And when
he comes to look around for another
farm he finds that he cannot easily
be suited. There are plenty of farms
for sale, but they have not the good
features Of the old farm. Something
is lacking in all of them. Money can
compensate for some things, but not
for all. Mr.. Hoxie, of Roberts Mead
ow. has found this out. Last fall he
sold his farm there to the water
/ commissioners at what the commits
sioners thought was an excessive
price. He was obliged TO sell, be-
cause a part of his farm, being near
to the water course. was deemed TO
be injurious TO the purity of the wa
ter. Mr.. Hoxie has been looking
around for another farm ever since.
He finds a number for sale, but there
is a lack of homelike favor about
them all. They do not fill the place
of the old farm. where he was born
and where he has always lived.
And this recalls another instance
of farm selling. man had fine
farm in one Of the adjoining towns
II Just suited him. The land was
strong and rich. II was beautifully
located on a slightly hilltop. The
buildings were not very good, but the
land was all right One day he had
chance to sell. The price was high
that is, il seemed so TO him. as i
was much more than he had called
the farm worth. After he had sole
he began TO realize his loss. II
dawned upon him that he had parted
with something that was adapted L
his needs and incurred a risk in buy
ing another farm. He felt badly
tears filed his eyes and his heart wal
sad. He has never found a farm Ike
the old farm. And he never will. HI
wishes he was back again on the oil,
! hilltop, among the familiar rocks an,
: trees.
The moral Of all this is, don't par
with the old farm until you are com
PEELED to and are sure you can bette
I yourself
