The carriers are doing their work

the mail for distribution to the vari-
Gus parts Of the city but this will be
overcome after the men have been al
their work for fortnight or so.
Mr. Kenake says that the post office
men are very anxious that the people
who have ordered their mail delivered
at their houses should inform all theil
correspondents of their street and mum

OF his store and showed the stranger the
nearest way to reach the wharf.
After profusely thanking Devote Will
Iiams left. As Devote returned to the
store he was told by customer who had
entered the place while he was conversing
with the wel-dressed stranger that
he had seen short man walk behind the
counter and take the contents of the cash
drawer, amounting to $6. Calling his son
Devote rushed outside and saw the stran-

MUCH RED TAPE IN THE
BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
Carpenters Demand Goes to Seven.
teen Different Officials Before It
Is Finally Paid


The red tape under which the Board Of
Public Works 81 operated Is illustrated IN
the case Of carpenter who may be en-
ployed to do a days work on a public
school building at the rate of 50 so per
work his demand passes through the
hands Of no less than seventeen officials
before he receives his money.
As soon as the demand is made out IL
Is handed to the inspector of buildings,
who af1xes his signature thereto. He in
turn dispatches IL to the superintendent
OF buildings. who also signs Il. The de-
mand finally reaches and is signed In
succession by the secretary Of the Board
of Public Works, the three Commission
ers OF the Board OF Public Works, the
four members OF the Board of Education
and the secretary Of the Board of Educa-
tion.
The demand then comes before the
meeting of the Board of Education and
the secretary states IL was ordered paid
1t is then examined and approved In turn
by the president of the Board OF Edu-
cation and the Superintendent OF Schools
or by his deputy. Then It Is audited by
the Auditor or his deputy. and after II
is signed by the City Treasurer II Is
finally liquidated and the patient .carpen-
ter receives his SO so, which took one day
TO earn and about six days to make the
demand negotiable.
The peculiar part of the proceedings is
that the only man who knows whether
the work was performed by the
carpenter does not sign the demand, and
he ts the foreman who supervises the job.

The charter requires that all bonds of

TELEPHONE NUMBERS.
Heavy Mileage Rates Are Sometimes
Paid tn Retain nm old
"HeIIo" Address

"Telephone numbers have an actual
|money value" said an officer Of the
American Bell Telephone company,
reports the New York Mail and En-
press. THE assertion has strange
sound, but if you think for a mo-
|ment of the advantage a business
house derives from having its location
well known, the thing seems only nat
|ural.
In the course of time peoples
minds begin to associate a firm with
is telephone number, and if, when
r hey start to call up an old friend,
hey find him masquerading under a
pew number~.it is as much of shock
fs if they had called at a house with
whom they were in the habit of doing
business and found it had moved
|iway. 1t all comes under the legal
bead Of good will. a very elusive com
|nodtty, but one which has lis market
.alue.
so much is this fact appreciated
| py some of our old patrons that they
ne willing to pay heavy mileage if
hey move away from the ncighbor-
God Of their exchange in order TO
etan their old telephone address.
iany important houses have followed
he northward trend Of business in

SMALLEST OF THEIR KIND.
The Dwarf Cattle of Celebes Are No
Larger Than Ordinary Full
Grown sheep.

Celebes had the distinction Of being
the home of the smallest living repre-
sentative of the wild cattle. or, indeed,
of the wild cattle of any period of the
earth's history, for no equally diminu-
tive fossil member of the group app
pears to be known to science An
idea Of the extremely diminutiye pro-
portions of the anoa, or sapi-utan, ms
the animal in question is respectively
called by the inhabitants of Ce.eles
and the Malays, may be gained when
it is stated that its height at the
shoulder is only about three feet
three inches, whereas that of the
great Indian wild OK, or guar, is at
least six feet four inches, and may,
according to some writer's. reach as
much as seven feet. In fact, the anoa
is really not much, if at all, larger
than a well-grown South Down sheep
and scarcely exceeds in this respect
the little domesticated Bramini cat
tie shown a few years ago at the In
dian exhibition held at Earl's Court,
says knowledge.
The anoa has many of the charac-
tiers of the large Indian buffalo, but
its horns are relatively shorter, less
curved and more upright. In this, as
well as in certain other respects. il is
more like the young than the adult of
the last-named species, and as young
animals frequently show ancestral
features which are gradually lost as
maturity is approached il would be a
natural supposition that the anoa is
a primitive type of buffalo.
