A TALE or FATE.
The Parable Of the ovsr-Timid Nan and
the Bold One.

4ho mtu, Whites OudIlCc DtltCAl
LOOMS, in the Saturday Evening
Post, lived together; one was timid,
the other bold. Said the timid one:
"Really, life grows more and more
dangerous. To-dayit isan explosion,
tomorrow a fire, the third day a hur-
rieane. One dare not travel on a train
for fear of collisions, nor is it safe to
go afoot for fear of motor cars. am
going to give up going outdoors"
But his friend said; "How differ
emily are we constituted You are
in love with life and fear danger.
Now, | do not fear peril Of any kind,
and as for life, it is not worth a rush
to me In fact, l made up my mind
this morning that l would go over
Niagara falls in a barrel"
At this the other shuddered and
said; ~But you will go to certain
death"
"And if l do but follow the ex-
ample Of all who have preceded me
since Adam. This certain death is
almost as old as the hills. Farewell.
Igo to ordermy barrel"
When the venturesome one had
gone the timid one prepared for his
life indoors. He made fast the doors
and caused sheeting of tin to be put
over the windows so that no sudden
explosion could break the glass and
kill him in his room. This left him
without light, but he did not dare
use a candle or a lamp for fear an
earthquake might upset it. Life in
the dark was not altogether a Joy,
but he had the company of his
thoughts and they were pleasant, for
he had not always beenso timid. Aft
er a few hours he became accustomed
to the half-light and was able to pre-
pare his meals. Every day fruit and
milk and bread were let down his
chimney.
Meanwhile the venturesome one
ordered his barrel, and when it was
made he went to Niagara and paid
an idiot one dollar to roll him into
the river. And after he had packed
himself in he glanced at the sky
and the earth and the water with
a suspicion Of regret, and then in a
firm voice he babe the idiot put on
the cover and roll him in. And the
idiot did as he was asked and went
into town to spend his dollar.
And over the falls of Niagara went
the barrel, and a few minutes later,
still intact, it foated into a cove and
the venturesome one broke his way
out, somewhat Jared but able to be
about.
The passage of the falls had given
him a certain JOY in life and it was
with altogether different feelings
that he returned to his home. Noone
but the idiot knew Of his deed, but
he did not care for that. If he had
died that would have been the end.
Now that he lived he would be able
to show his friend that the most dan
gerous place in the world was not nee
%essarily the home of death.
He was amazed to find the house
timed up and locked, and when his
knocks on the front door brought
no response he called to the timid
one that he was no burglar but his
friend, safe home from his passage of
the falls Of Niagara.
"Come, let me in and | shall tell
you what my feelings we're as l went
OVER
But there was no response, SO at
last he put his shoulder to the front
door and stove it in.
And he found thath his timid friend
had choked to death on a crust OF
bread.

Result of Rural Delivery.
Record-Herald:

chicago RecOrd-HeraId:
One of the unexpected results of the
extension of the rural free delivery ser
vice is the discontinuance of postoffices
result of the extensions of the service
last year 1906 pOstoffees were discon-
tinued, effecting a saving in the salaries
of poStmasters aggregating $116,S07.
Although these economies were not
anticipated by those who advocated the
free mail delivery for rural districts, it
was inevitable that the delivery of mail
to farms in the vicinity of the smaller
rural villages would do away with the
necessity for postOffices in such commu-
mites.
In this connection it will be interesting
to watch the effect of the gradual ex-
upon certain urban centerS. Those who
are familiar with the habits of the rural
population know something of the pow
er of the pOStoffice as a factor in com
munity life 1t forms the centripetal
force that draws from rural areas and
creates the nucleus of a town. 1t at
fords in many instances the only ex-
cuse the farmer can offer for driving
to town, although the necessity for an
accessible trading center is also an i'm
portant factor in building up an urban
settlement.
That which took the farmer to town
once a week or less often is now deliver
ed every day at his door. His contact
lectual activity is more intimate and d.
rect. A portion of the inducement for
going to an urban center is withdra wn,
and ultimately the tendency to migI 4 tie
from the farm to the town permanent-
~ may possibly be checked.
