A BEEF AGENTS TERRIBLE WOES
Drinking, Smoking and Eating Makes
His Activity Short Lived.

Few people realize that represent
ing brewing concern or wine house
is one of the most trying. enervating,
misunderstanding and altogether in
furious occupations of modern life. A
Post reporter made this discovery
several days ago when he met a man
who until quite recently had earned
his livelihood as beer agent.
81 tried it for five years, but was
forced to retire" he said ION account
of my health. For the past two years
have been trying to get web. 1t is
the most killing business under the
sun, and as a rule, beer and wine
agents are very short lived. If 1t were
possible to go about and simply trans
act straight business it would be all
very well, but this, you see is out OF
the question. No matter where the
beer agent goes he is Obliged to do
more or less drinking, which, in time,
tells on his liver, kidneys and entire
inner mechanism with serious results.
When the beer agent enters any one
of the ordinary middle or low class sa-
looms to sell some goods he Is expected
by the proprietor to spend consider
able money before leaving. There is
always gang of loafers hanging
about, who are never so happy as
when following beer agent into a
saloon. The beer agent is going to
treat the house or set 'em up to de
gang, as they say and this Of course,
he is obliged to do in order to retain
popularity for himself and his wares.
Most saloon keepers have an idea
that when a beer agent comes In and
treats every one to beer and fails to
brink any himself. the beer made by
his firm is not good. and they never
fail to inquire: Whats the matter
Can't you drink your own beer9 Can't
be very good when the agent sours on
it. Ii is worse still on pienics. ex-
cursions, openings. etc. On occasions
of this sort the beer agent has to make
perfect beer tub of himself and be
agreeable to every one.
The better class OF saloons do not,
Of course, tolerate buns, never even
polite ones, who hang about in order
to drink OF the agent, nor do they ex-

WOMEN NOT WANTED.
They Are to be Eliminated From the
French Post Office.

French Post Office.
NJ Millerand has presented q report
to the President of the French Repub-
lie in which he proposes the gradual
elimination of women from the service
of the French Post Office.
Since the initiation of the feminine
service in 1898 the department has
been very carefully watched, and the
experience of eight years has demon
strated numerous shortcomings, nota-
bly, the physical inaptitude of the
majority of women for certain parts of
the work
From the financial point of view the
employment of women in post and
telegraph Offices is not of great ad.
vantage, as three women are necessary
to replace two men.
During the year 1897 the working
female staff, numbering $40, received
161, 013 days leave, or an average OF
thirty days per employee.
Women do not seem suited to the
special duties, so heavy, so difficult
and so irregular, to which they have
been admitted.
NJ. Millerand proposes to open up
more outlets for the existing staff, and
to restrict further recruiting. The
Minister'S decision will affect feminine
postal workers in all administrations

"sREEcHES BIBLE"
Copy of Celebrated Ancient Edition

Two valuable bibles have been dis
covered in Wyoming among ole
papers in the last week. One was
printed in Germany in 1874, gent to
John Vroom of Rawlins with a box
Of heirlooms from his family's former
home In Amsterdam.
The other is a copy of the celebrat.
ed "Breeches Bible" found in
case of forgotten books by Judge
Alfred Heath of this town. This is
an English bible, printed in 1906. It
is bound in oak boards covered with
leather and REINFORCED with heavy
brass clamps. The leaves are yellow
with age, but the printing and
numerous illustrations are still per-
fectly legible. 1t contains the OLD
Testament, the Apocrypha, table Of
proper names, the Psalms. the Lords
prayer, the commandments and the
Canticles, the last four set to music.
The feature of the book that makes
it valuable is the following verse:
