One Cent letter POSTAGE.

There are many who assume that be-
cause the successive reductions in The
rate OF letter postage in past years have
all been followed by vast increase IN
the quantity OF letters sent through the
mails a repetition of the experiment
would certainly be followed by SINH
lar result. But they overlook the fact
that the principal part of the increase
was not due to an expansion of the let
ter writing habit, but to the stimulus
which the reduction gave TO the practice
of business men sending out price lists
and other printed matter in unsealed en-
velopes. The statistics OF the Postofiee
Department do not distinguish this sort
of mail from the closed. No one can tell
matter but that /; Is very large is well
known. That IL was immensely increas-
ed when the law made 1t possible to send
an nnsealed letter or circular for one
cent is also matter OF general knowl-
edge, but II is not so well understood
that II was this particular reduction
which so greatly enlarged the volume Of
hrst-class matter.
Ii Il reduction is made to one cent for
sealed letters, and there is no further
lowering of the rate of unsealed hrst-
class matter. there will be no very great
expansion of the use OF the mails in con-
sequence OF the change 1t is reasonably
certain that the movement, il success
full, would result in q serious diminution
Of the revenue. and the deficit would be
still further increased. Doubtless. IN
course OF time, the volume OF mail at
one cent for a closed letter will bring
the receipts mp TO their present proper
tons, but the general growth OF bust
ness, rather than the inducement held
out by the cheaper rate, would contrib
ute 10 that result.-San Francisco Chroa-

ger humanity" has come true hundred
times during the two years aud seven
months of strife All the world knew
that the Beers would fight, but such a
fight as has been made was not expected.
History has few instances of such resist
ance by so small body when opposed
by multitude. The Carthagenians held
legions at bay for years, but they were
in a walled city; the Spartans had their
Thermopylae. The Transvaalers have
repeated the acts of both. and have done
so time and again. Stormberg, Mayors

would have fallen to their lot had they

shepherd and his wife looked on In

At last the process OF undressing was

DRAMATIC DEATH OF GRIZZLY.
The Gray Terror of the Idaho Hills
= Will DO Mischief No More.

The Gray Terror of the Idaho Hills
r VIII DO Mischief No More.
Big Foot, the gray terror of the Ida
no hills is dead ut last. The giant
grizzly closed his career with an orgy
that included the killing of about thr-
ty horses IN one week, and the ranch
ers throughout the wide region where
he operated are rejoicing that he will
not rob them any more.
When Tom Hopper the veteran
hunter Of Spokane. arrived in Lewiston
with party OF amateurs, including
ID. G.. Holbrook, n South Dakota drum
mer, and announced that they were
going after Big Foot the natives, on
Toms account, 'reckoned there'd be
somethin doin'."
As nearly as they could find out Big
Foot was about forty miles from Lew
lston In an untrayeled wilderness
There were three feet of snow on the
deter them. They wandered about for
five days before the dogs got on to his
track. Then they made camps and
the dogs tralled Big Foot up to hole
among some rocks on high ridge
overlooking a tributary of the Snake
River
Big Foot was so surprised by the
sudden attack of the dogs that he
started to run. The dogs kept ut his
heels and the race continued until the
hunters were far behind and cursing
their luck that their magnificent quar-
ry was out of range.
But Big Foot changed his route,
Making detour of the top of ridge,
he raced at top speed down the other
side, noting little of what was ahead
of him.
Right below him was the camp and
Holbrook and another member OF the
party were there Ilolbrook saw the
great brute coming like n cyclone and
grabbing his Winchester he fired.
1t was lucky shot. The grizzly
rolled over dead with n bullet In his
heart. Fifteen dead horses were found
within two miles of the point where
the bear had made his den says the

skinned and the hide is to be mounted.
