After The Ex-Postmaster.

The Kansas City World of last Fri
day says:
A suit filed in the United States cir
cult court IN this city against S.. F.
Scott, former postmaster, and his son
Samuel F. Scott, Jr., who was em
ployed as utility clerk in the Kansas
City postoffice, makes charges fixing
upon the former postma ster and bis
son, the responsibility for the loss of a
package containing IS. 900 from the
registry mail during May 1901. The
loss of the package promises to go on
record as one of the unsolved myster-
les of the postoffice. The money was
sent by the National Bank of Com.
merce in this city to the bank of ]. V.
Brinkman & Co.. at Great Bend, Kan.
The suit is brought by the Bankers
Mutual Casualty company of Des
Moines, Iowa, which insured the Bank
of Commerce against loss and which
subsequently made good the amount.

A Warm Essay.

In little country school not far
from here. literary exercises are regu-
larry INDUCED in every Friday after
noon during the term. A twelve.year
old boy read an original essay on "Fhe
Newspaper" This latter-d day youthful
Solomon treats his subject thus:
Newspapers are sheets of paper on
which stuff to read is printed. The
men look over the paper to see if their
names is printed in it. and the women
uses it to put on shelves and such. /
don't know how newspapers came into
the world. don't think God does.
The Bible says nothing about editors
and never heard of one being in hea-
ven. guess the editors is the missing
link them fellers talk about. The first
editor ever heard of was the Teller
who wrote up the food. He has been
here every since.
Some editors belong to church and
some try to raise whiskers. All of
them raise hell in their neighborhood
and all of them are liars: at least all
that know and only knew one.
Editors never die. At least l never
saw dead on. Sometimes the paper
dies and then people feel glad and some
one starts it up again. Editors never
went to school because editors never
got licked. Our paper is mighty poor

SMOTHER A COUGH.

You can smother a cough
with your hand but you can't
cure it that way. Some medi-
cines only smother coughs.
SCOTS Emulsion cures them.
Old coughs and deep-rooted
can't be cured until
the m which causes
them has been replaced by
healthy tissue.
That is exactly the kind OF
thorough work SCOTS Emul-
sion does. 1t changes the
entire nature of the throat and

to cough about.

DOUBTFUL EXPERIMENT..

experience Of other American cities is
of any value as a guide, says the Colo
RADIO Springs Telegraph, we shall be
hearing in a few years Of all sorts of
corruptions in the management of the

Those who remember the Philadelphia

Municipal ownership Of street railways

scarcely fail to lead to scandals, and
which is likely to lead to a poorer
