An Indiana newspaper tells of an
ingenius plan in use by farmers on a
rural mail route. At crossroads
points where there are usually num-
Der of boxes the farmers, in order to
make it convenient for them selves as
we'll as the carrier, have rugged up
a continuance which is decidedly
novel. Here sixteen farmers are
served and all have their boxes
mounted on a wagon wheel which
has been set on top of post. The
sixteen boxes lay around the edge OF
the wheel, and when the carrier
comes he simply has to give the
wheel a turn to make the boxes that
he wants to come before him so that
all can be filled without getting out
of the wagon. 1t is a miniature
postoffice out of doors.

of the following pertinent production
is but it is very fitting to say the
least: Nov of all ills and curses
from the cradle to the hearses, the
one we call the gossiper is certainly
the worst. And in every community,
and at every opportunity, the vitals
of their SANDER, they ne'er hesitate
to burst. And their tongues are al
ways clacking, though their stories
have no backing, and they lie about
their neighbors when the neigh bors
turn their backs. From the hours of
early dawning they are lying, crock
ing, fawning and enlist aid of Satan,
who will cover up their tracks. OF
our mothers, wives and sisters they
will talk their tongues to blistels, and
to smirch reputation gives to them
a ghoulish glee. If they set soul to
aching or heart succeed in breaking.
they are filed with happy feeling to
very great degree. They will tear
the lid from coffin, for their evil
hearts meier soften, and they'll follow
