Paris Prohibits Placards.

In Paris it was usual at every gen
eral election to see all the public build
ings disfigured by the enormous guam
tity of election addresses and other
placards posted upon them. At the
time of the Boulanger incidents bill
posters would follow in rapid success
sion and stick bill upon bill until
there was not more than one inch OF
paper. The extremely ugly effect OF
such placards and the damage done by
scraping down the posters after the
electoral battle induced the chamber
to make law prohibiting the posting

artistic monuments.-Pari Messenger

Stopping Egg Eating.

The writer recently visited a poultry
establishment where the owner had
had much trouble with egg eaters. He
said he had tried various plans for
breaking up the habit, but without
success. He had used egg shells filed
with pepper and nauseous compounds,
but the birds ate them and looked
around for more. He finally resorted
to trimming their bills with a sharp
knife, rendering them SO stump-billed
that they could not penetrate the shell
of an egg. We doubt, however, If this
is the best method to use. 1t certainly
requires considerable labor to do this
work In large flock. The medicated
egg has worked well in some in
stancas. Why does 1t not work In all?

NO COURTESY IN STREET CARS
New York Paper Tells Of Somewhat
Pathetic Happening.


Pathetic Happening.
His face was very white and tired
and the deep lines in it showed plainly
that he was either in the clutch of q
new illness or was only just recover
ing from an old one. He had found a
seat in a corner of one Of the cars on
the Sixth avenue elevated. A woman
with a baby and a child five or six
years old entered. No one offered
them seat; the sick man looked at
the woman and the babies, and 1t was
evident he was engaged in great
wrestling match with his sense OF
courtesy. Presently his sense Of
courtesy won. The woman scarcely
acknowledged his act. She took the
baby in her lap and the child leaned
against her knees. The man hung
limp from an opposite strap. At Fiji
tieth street a passenger left the seat
next to the woman and two babies.
The sick man started for it anXiously,
but before he had reached it the wo-
man had lifted the child that had been
leaning against her knee into the seat.
The sick man CROPPED feebly for his
strap. Then the seat next to the older
child became vacant. Again the man
started for it, but he was weaker in
the knees now, and before he had
really obtained his balance the baby
was occupying the seat. An over
grown Office boy, hanging from
neighboring strap swung himself out
of line, and in a considerably loud
voice, shouted to the sick man, That's
what you get!"-New York Post.

come out ahead and produce from five
to fifteen bushels more corn to the
acre than do those that follow the

H0O DEPARTMENT of the general
government comes more closely
- into contact with the people than
E%S$I the Postomce. Its function is to
- gather and distribute daily the
messages, written or printed, that pass be-
tween the millions Of citizens and their cor
respondents all over the world. This serv-
ice is performed so quietly that one seldom
gives 1t n thought, but when the mind IL
allowed to dwell upon the topic, the first
feature to impress one Is the marvellous
efficiency Of the system that can carry on
the business undertaken at so little cost
to the patron. 1t costs the individual no
more to send a letter from New York to-
Manila than It does from Omaha to South
Omaha, or, indeed, from one ward to an
ether in the city. And for a very little
more the government will dispatch your
letter to the utmost corner of the earth
II is the perfection Of organization that
has made this possible. In one respect
the domestic service Is deficient, although
the remedy Is rapidly being applied. Uncle
Sam, while CstCrsibly agreeing to deliver
the message TO the person for whom II Is
offended, except in a few Of the more popu-

certain length e time waiting for him to
call. II he doesn't call, the letter is re-
turned to the writer. Up to alb ut six
years ago this condition prevailed all over
the country outside Of those cities wherein
free delivery had been established. Rural
free delivery had been tentatively dis
cussCd. but no active steps had been taken
to establish II. People had been too

Tuesday will be the thirty-seventh ami
versary Of the death of Abraham Lincoln.
Although a new generation has grown up
and the progress of the United States has
been most wonderful in the years that have
interviewed, the memory of that tragic
night and morning is still fresh in the
minds OF millions of Mr.. Lincoln's country
men. He had lived to see the close of the
most stupendous war of modern times and
had seen his plans for humanity take root.
An assassin's bullet prevented his seeing
the fruit, in shape of a reunited country,
moving grandly to its glorious destiny.
The picture of the deathbed scene in this
number of The Bee is reproduced from a
painting made in 1865, and SHOWS the his
torical characters who were grouped about
the bedside of the leader when his great
spirit took its fight.
Another exemUlifcation OF the beneficial
effects Of a well ordered matrimonial al
lance and its tendency to conduce long life
Is the experience of John S. Davenport and
Medorah Polk Davenport Of Hubbell, Neb.,
who were married at Florence, Neb., on
August IS, 1S47. Mr.. Davenport was then
q years old and his wife 16. He is a ma
tive OF Kentucky and she OF New York.
They were in the Mormon train that fol-
lowed Brigham Young to Florence, and
claim that they were the first white couple
married in Nebraska. After the wedding
they left the Mormons and went back to
Iowa, locating near where Pacific Junction
now stands. From here they made W
trips to California and finally settled in
Nebraska. In 1876 they made their home
near Hubbell, where they still live, hale
and hearty. They have seven children,
twenty-six grandchildren and twenty-four
great grandchildren living. On August Is,
