and facts am now giving you.
IAN intending or an actual postal thief
may make up his mind to one positive fact:
Sooner or later the government will have
him in custody. He may rob letter boxes
or rifle letters and mail bags and believe
himself secure because of the immensity OF
the service and the limited number Of post
Office inspectors, but when he Is most Sc
cure, In his mind. he finds the hand of q
strange man laid upon his shoulder and he
Is looking, perhaps, into the muzzle of a
revolver, and certainly into the eyes of a
man who will sell his life rather than let
him escape. The rule of the department Is
that postal thievery must be reduced to its
lowest possible terms with the available
force for apprehension, and the fact that
over 600 postal thieves were convicted last
year doesn't augur well for gentlemen OF
purioining habits"

NECESSITY FOR SMILES,
A Discourse on the Desirability OF q
Happy Countenance.

A Discourse on the Desfrability of .
Happy Countenance.
From the Chicago Tribune.
Certain kindly disposed persons are in the
habit of advising mankind. in a phrase pe-
culiar to photographers. to look pleasant"
whatever be their state and condition, and
to insist that even aching hearts should be
carried beneath smiling countenances. Yet
just as there are people who object to those
regions where perpetual sunshine prevails
and where clouds and storms are unknown,
so there are those who would find monoto-
nous an ever cloudless countenance. AS an
antidote to melancholy Keats suggested
that when ones beloved exhibited some
''rich anger to
Imprison her soft hand and let her rave
And feed deep. deep upon her peerless eyes.
or course there are smiles more heart
rending than tears and tears more cheering
than smiles, while the Cheshire cat variety
of expression is pleasant to the point of ex-
asperation. The smile upon the face Of
Leonardo da Vinci's celebrated Monna Lisa
Is uncomfortable to some people, while over
others 1t casts spell not to be resisted. 1t
Is said that the American feminine counte-
nance Is one that leans toward smiles. and
II foreign testimony Is to be trusted there
Is cause for smiling complacency in the
recently demonstrated facts that American
women are the best dressed as well as the
most Independent and problem free of all
women. To have the right things on ones
body and the wrong things Off ones mind
Is certainly to be as happy as 1t is possible
for womankfnd to be. But as for the
necessity for smiling In all situations and
under all circumstances that must rest
with the individual, who will probably de-
eide that he will look as ne feels and
smile when he pleases.
