SIMPLICITY Up to the time Of his ln-
auguration as President Mr. Jefferson
lived like an aristocrat, attended by ser
wants in livery, with a French cook and
hntler. whom he had imported from Paris
and observed all Of the conventionalities
Of polite society. His mainners, con-
.yersation and dress were those of a. gen
tIeman Of refinement and social expert:
ence. He was particularly given to
limitations Of French customs, the result
Of five years residence in Paris. He sln-.
+ PRODUCED finger bowls into this country,
and other features Of French domestic
life. His daughter, Martha y efferson,
was probably the most accomplished SWo--s:
man Of her generation in America, and at
Monticello, his residence in G. Virginia, the
ordinary etiquette which governed the.
social relations of the aristocracy Of Eu-5
rope was observed. When he became
President In 1S0s, however, Mr. efferson3
made radical change in his dress and
department, so sradical as to excite the
surprise Of his friends and the criticisms
of his enemies. He neglected his attire
and the ordinary proprieties Of his posi-
I ton, and his lack Of politeness to the
members of the diplomatic corps Was SO:
noticeable that they felt compelled S. to-
bring It to the attention Of their govern
ments The British minister's complaints
were 50 serious as to become a subject
of diplomatic correspondent and Mr..
JEFFERSON was compelled to instruct our
minister at the court Of ST. James to-
make an apology to the British Govern
5nlent This neglect and defiance of the

Robbie and the Autor,obile.

Robbie had never before been i'm
an automobile. He is a very small
and serious-eyed youngster just emerg-
ing from babyhood; and an automo-
bile is not inherently any more novel
or wonderful to him than an elevated
train or a surface car. But the mild
excitement and apparent interest in
the vehicle shown by his mother and
his aunt, to whom the experience was
also new, communicated itself to Rob
bic.
He bobbed agitatedly between them
as the automobile went up Fifth ave.

that evidently had sequence i'm his

to his feminine relatives, who alb

COUNTRY PAPERS COMPLAINING.
rhe Rural Free Mail Delivery Not an
Unalioyed Blessing.

UnalIoyed Blessing.
Many publishers of country news
papers are complaining bitterly that
The free delivery Of mail in rural dis
tricts. instead of being a blessing to
them as they were led to believe, has
already become "A serious menace. The
complaint is being frequently heard
that the new system enables the pub
fishers Of city daily papers TO cover
territory which they were heretofore
only able to reach through the post
offices, by engaging the carriers to han
lie their papers I'm the capacity of
agents or newsbOys.
1t has come about. they say. that
the farmers. now that they can secure
a daily paper delivered at their very
door. for n comparatively trifiing sum,
no longer feel the need of the country
weekly, and that they are rapidly los
ing subscribers.
The situation from the country pub
fishers point of view is becoming more
and more serious, and many of them
declare that If something is not
promptly done to put n stop to the
carriers acting as newsboys they will
be driven from the neld.
1t is urged that the country publish
er already had all the competition he
could stand up under from the near
by city daily papers under the old sys-
TEN, but if the Postofiice Department
is to countenance it's employees acting
as agents i'm an individual capacity, he
wants to know it.
The protest against the rural mail
carrier does not stop here either. The
country merchants are also complain
ing They say it is bad enough to
have to compete with the city mer-
chants who reach the rural population
through the city dailies without hav-
ing the carriers act as their agents.
1t is said that some of these carriers
have already opened a very profitable
field by taking orders for goods for
the big city houses on commission
basis, and that the practice is spread
ing in all sections of the country.
1t will be seen from this that the
country newspaper Publisher and the
country merchant have common
cause. The publisher cannot get out
his newspaper unless the merchant
paTOnizeS his columns. and the mer-
chant cannot successfully conduct his
business without the aid of the news
paper, and in the face of competition
conducted by an agent of the United
States Government.
Such competition is unfair The
country newspaper and the country
merchant are entitled to protection
The way to bring it about is to pro-
hibit the rural mail carriers from
elmer handling newspapers or acting
in the capacity of agent for any pur-
pose whatsoever.
These men are paid by the Govern
ment to perform a specific duty and
they have no more right to engage in
private enterprise for gain than have
the carriers in urban districts. 1t may
be that there is no law at present Gov
ering this point, but if there is not it
should be promptly remedied
The rural free mail delivery has no
doubt many strong points in its favor,
but making it the medium of unfair
business competition is not one of
them.-FOurth Estate.
