kind should be kept as quiet as possible when our most prominent citizens are the principals.

AN exchange says: A minis ter was one day walking along a road, and to his astonishment he saw a crowd of boys sitting in front of a ring with a small dog in the center. When he came up to them he put the following ques- tion; "What are you doing to the dog?" One little boy said: Whoever tells the biggest lie, he wins him." "Oh," said the min ister, 'I am surprised at you little boys, for when I was like you I never told a lie." There was silence for while until one of them shouted: "Hand him up the dog!"

AN exchange tells of an editor who thus refrained from report- ing an incident that occurred in the town: "Gen. John Jones, a brother of Maj. Bill Jones, re- quested us to omit from our col umns anything concerning the row which occurred in Smith s saloon, between Maj. Bill Jones and Col. John Brown, in which the former received a number of slight knife wounds on the left arm and the latter was severely struck over the head with a pistol. Having been requested not to publish anything concerning the matter, and owing to the promi- hence of the parties concerned, we have decided best that it be not mentioned. Affairs of this

FIFTY YEARS IN THE SERVICE.
Vermont Postmistress Resigns at the
 Age of Seventy-six.

 Age of Seventy-six.
 Bellows Falls, Vt, Letter in Washington
 Times.
 After serving the public for fifty years in the Weatherfield postoffice, forty nine years of which she was postmistress, Miss Louisa C. Danforth has resigned. She Is thought to have been a postmistress longer than anyone else in the country, her commission having been issued on May 29, 1852. during President Fillmore's s administration.
 Weatherfield. a little country hamlet, is reached by driving from Claremot Junction and crossing the Connecticut River by an anticipated -erry boat The broad village green has oR each side of it's quiet street six houses, stone oh irch. schoolhouse and postoffice. Three of the residences are only open during the sum mer season Of the three postoffices in the township this is the oldest, having been established previous to 1900 only two postmasters having been in office before Miss Danforth.
 The postoffice is located in the Danforth homestead. and the letter case used is morS than loo years old and has been in use since postal facilities were first cs- tablished in the town. It is built of hardwood. worn smooth with use and age. The whole equipment is of an an- cient date, no modern appliances having been introduced.
 In an interview yesterday, Miss Dan forth, tall, bright-eyed woman, who, in spite of her seventy-six years Is well-pre- served and active, told of much of inter est regarding the early days of her Cf- ficial life. She brides herself upon the fact that she did not solicit the office, but 1t was obtained for her through the eff forts of Colonel Jarvis lifelong friend and neighbor of the family, and almost without her knowledge. Postoffice methods fifty years ago were widely diff ferent form those of today. the amount of work and responsibility being nothing in comparison with the present time. No record books were kept, the entries being made on way bills which were wrapped around the letter or letters to any point and each package then enclosed in another wrapper and sent to it's destina- tion. Postage was optional, being paid at either end.
 There were no registered letters. no stamps to buy, and no special delivery. The postmaster had the franking priv- lege by which mail could Joe. sent free of charge. Later came the first stamps. the charge. being cents for each letter, Although in the early days the popula- ton of the town was much larger the people did not write many letters, and Mondays mail, consisting of dozen let ters. was the largest of the week. At that time the salary was $60 a year Afterward it was put in the graded list and gradually increased to $lS9 at the pre-

aoBBLER MATCHES CHICKENS
Sits on Hens Eggs and Comes Of
 With Fourteen.

R. A. Marlin. farmer of Falls County, Iex.' mas sometnlng umque m .ne way gobbler, who had matched out" and was playing the motker in regulation hen style to fourteen little chickens. MT. Mar lin states that some weeks ago he missed this gobbler from his bunch of turkeys, and after a search found him sitting on an empty nest in the field. Observing that his gobblership exhibited laudable desire to match" something. he filled tn !, nest with hens eggs and left him to his own devices. In due course of time he "came off" with fourteen little chickens. of which he seems inordinately proud, and as deeply interested in their welfare as any old hen could possibly be. He takes the greatest care of them through out the day and carefully hovers them under his wings at night; In short seems sincerely desirous of bringing them up in tho way all little chickens should go. This is no fake, for the gobbler and lit- tie chickens are here to show for them selves. The incident only tends to prove the great and unlimited possibilities of Central TexaS.

sent time.
 Miss Danforth is the last representa- tive of her family, which has been close ly identified with the life of the town since the earliest settlement. Her grand father cleared the plan on which the vil- lage is located and built his homestead. The families of those days were large. Her grandfather had twelce children, and his was one of four families that sent fifty children to school.
 Miss Danforth's resignation came as a surprise at Washington. where, although they are aware of her long service her clear handwriting, which resembles that of a young girl, and her prompt atten- ton to business led her immediate supe- rior to think her equal to filling the office for many years more. She herself had hoped to serve several years longer, but severe attack of the grip last spring has somewhat weakened her nerves and made her unwilling to continue the res possibility.

GUARDS FOR MORGAN.
Precautions Taken to Protect the
 Millionaire.

New York World, Sept. 2S
 When J. Pierpont Morgan's special train rolled out of the Grand Central Station yesterday at S:S5 p. m. just live min utes behind the Empire State Express, nobody noticed several muscular looking men who mingled with the crowd, watch ing everybody. The utmost precautions were taken to keep all strangers off the platform while MT. Morgan and his party of forty clergymen and lay delegates 10 the Triennial Episcopal Convention in San Francisco boarded their cars.
 The muscular men were plain clothes detectives especially detailed for the oc- casion. Two other detectives boarded the train. and will accompany Mir. Nor gan wherever he goes.
 Special precautions have been taken be- cause of several anarchistic letters re- ceived by MT. Morgan within the past few days when it became generally known and back.
 MT. Morgan laughed them of. but his friends were more serious when they heard of the letters, Several of the and place of promised trouble.
 Though earnest endeavors were made to keep the matter quiet. most of those invited to go on the train learned of the threats, and at least two of the party at the last moment sent regrets. expressing a desire to travel by regular trains.
 Bishop Potter, who is to attend the convention, was also to have been a guest of MT. Morgan on the special train. but sent his regrets a few days ago. This was not because he feared accident, but because he objected to travel on Sunday, when it was not absolutely necessary. He wished to stop over a day at Salt Lake and hold services there. That is where MT. Morgan's special will pick him up
 The train that MT. Morgan started on yesterday has six cars-three sleepers and library, drawing room and dining cars, all superbly fitted out. Louis Sher- rY sent along corps of servants to wait upon the party. In San Francisco his men will have charge of the hig Croker mansion on Noh Hill. which MT Morgan has rented for the comfort and entertain ment of his guests.
