ceive their appointments, simply be-
cause they gave themselves away as
the boys say, in their written com.

the carelessness, untidiness, ignorance,
inaccuracy Incidence, narrowness and
other traits which had been concealed
in a brief conversation, but which !

Contentment.

Cunlcn.44iG4.t Is preu:,..aS ;.2Sses-
sion. Yo w..o nave this jewel care for
it carefully. Let no storms darken its
beauty for moment. Add to it day by
day the precious stones of meekness
and quietness. Be thankful for the
gift of making others happy. Con-
tentment in circle is like the bril-
liant sun shedding its light serenely
on all around. Oh! for the mind that
can pass by the splendors of this life
and yet not covet them; the rosy
checked girl in modest gown and
shabby bonnet who can look at her
We11-dressed neighbor without an ach-
Ing, envious heart. Oh! for the spirit of
the man who, behoiding his friend ride
by IN splendid carriage, can still go
calmly back to his pillow or hoe with
out a bitter thought Such a one is
truly as far above the sneers and
laughter Of the unthinking as is heav-
en- above earth. Contentment is that
quality of some minds that makes the
possessor happy in spite of reverses or
misfortune. Do not worry; it does no
good and merely renders you more dis
cohtented and unhappy. It wears on
your nerves, makes you angry and
cross, and leaves you in a state of ner-
Vous prostration, so that when real
trouble comes it finds you unable TO
manfully cope with it. II by strong am
oltlon and hard work on yolr part you
cannot better your condition in life,
De satisfied with your lot and let your
smile or contentment make some sun
snlne In the lives of your less favored
1rlends.-Mrs. w. H. Crandall OF Stan
ton, Ala, in Pennsylvania Grit.

Post Officss Probably Be
Placed Unuer Classified Service

Washington, Nov. At is probable
that movement will be set on foot
when congress reassembles. which
will, in the end, result in the placing
of the postoffiees of the country under
the classified service. The immediate
effect OF it will be to retire railway
postal clerks who, by reason of age or
other disabilities, are no longer able
to perform the trying duties of the
postal car to an easier berth in q
country postofflce.
For many years the postal clerks
Of tie country have been trying to hit
upon some plan which would save
them from being turned out in the
cold world when once they were fore
ed to report unfit for duty. The sala-
ries they get are not commensurate
with the work they perform and IS
enough for them and their families to
live on and that is about all. There is
no opportunity to lay up for the pro

approval everywhere. Recently a
