Blind Tiger" Flowed Up.

While blowing in a piece OF
ground near McMinnville Saturday,
a colored man unearthed a barrel
containing about eight gallons OF
brandy. A pathway well trodden,
led to the spot where the brandy
was found, and it is now known
that liquor has been sold from this
barrel for some time. The authori-
ties had made every effort to locate
the blind tiger, to no effect.

Chunks of Philosophy.

It is awful discouraging to a man to have to die before his friends dis cover what clever fellow he is.
 Editors are not mentioned in the Bible. But if another Bible is ever written the editors will probably get in their work.
 A philosopher has said: "Fame has taken men from the blow. the forge, the mill, but she has never yet reached over fence and van ked dude from a hammock"
 The fellow who waits to kiss a girl till he finds her under q bunch of mistletoe misses a lot of the ecstasy of existence.
 There are times when a thinkino man must wonder why he was born and what is his destiny

Startling News About Oscar Fish.

Washington Oscar Fish of Val dez. Alaska. to whom the contract for carrying the United States mail from Valdez to Eagle for another four years was recently awarded, is the hest paid mail carrier in the world. By his contract he receives $35, 900 a year for making two trips month between the points named distance of about 4l3 miles. near ly $500 for each trip, The mail carried is limited to 300 pounds, and consists generally of letters only, papers and more bulky arti- cles being carried, however, when the mail is unusually light.
 PostofIice Department officials say that the sum paid to Fish is very reasonable when it is consi- dered that he makes the trip by dog sledge, and that he has the most dangerous route of any mail carrier in the world. His "A trips a year keep him busy most of the time. and he practically takes his life in his hands every time he starts out on his solitary journey.
 Fish has the finest team of dogs in Alaska, and some of his trips are made in record time. He has several times been given up for dead by the residents of Valdez and Eagle, but so far he has always managed to reach the end of his journey. although sometimes over- due, and occasionally very much battered up. He has fallen down precipices, got mixed up in avalan- ches and has been starved and frost-bitten, hut is still drawing his $35.

 One has to go to New York to get the news of this country. No wonder Oscar looked worn out while in town. Such thrilling trips would drag any one down.
 The schooner, Ralph J. Long, Captain Waltz, has sailed for Cook Inlet from Seattle, with POO tons of cargo, principally hydraulic piping and machinery for operating the creeks tributary to Turnagain Arm: J. O.

.\ an exciting adventure last
 week in which he played the role of a life saver. Nc doubt he learned to save lives in Germany. This unfortunate event happened while Josef was out loat-riding in company with Mrs. Duncan Me Cabe, the wife of Dune. McCabe. the best blacksmith on the hay.
 Mrs McCabe Is not light wo- man, by any means, and during some feminine movement. lost her balance, and upset the boat, caus- ing both of it's occupants to be pre- cipitated into the icy waters of the hay. Other boats w9e near, but the parties were so confused by the novel sight that they did not know what to do. Josef, with great cool ness and presence of mind saved Mrs. McCabe from a watery grave, by grasping her and taking her ashore. She did not look much the worse for her trying experience. The forts new wireless telegraphy system was brought into use and a message hastily sent to Dune. for warm clothes. Our friend Josef had on his best suit and it was ut terly ruined.
 Mrs. Duncan McCa,Ae, being somewhat heavy woman, displaced a considerable amount of water as she fell in the bay. At about the same time Sergeant McHugh, our provo was walking along the beach nearly mile from the scene of the accident, in company with Ser geant Daggett. He was nearly drowned by the tidal wave that suddenly appeared, but was rescued hy the timely action of his com panion.
 The affair was treated as joke at the fort. and Josef was unmcrci- fully guyed by his comrades. It is good thing that it was not a young lady, or perhaps there would have been a wedding at the fort in the near future. It is much re- gretted by the members of Co. G. that Sergeant McHugh wa. obliged to go on sick report after his ex- perience.
 Our friend Legs, better known as Shorty Horn of the Hospital Corps, went fishing the other day with the chef, old Hof., and forgot to tie the other end of his line, so when he threw the lead, the whole thing followed suit into the bay. His chum Hof., who was batting up, preparatory to casting in, heard a howl that reminded him of the Sioux Indians in '79 on the Poplar river. Turning around he beheld Legs with his hands up in the air as if reaching for one of the stars. As it dawned upon him what had happened, Hof. nearly split his sides, and he gets up in the dead of night to have laugh at Legs, who is keeping quiet and saving wood.

When Tennyson Was Rcbuked.


= Little as Tennyson cared for society,
he was sometimes to be met in houses
which interested him, and one of these
was the Duchess Of Bedford's, in Eaton
square. It was at a party there one
evening that he saw certain great
lady of whom he had heard, but whom
he did not know. He desired to be in
troduced to her or perhaps-for his
ways were sometimes regal-desired
that she might be presented to him. In
whichever way it was the ceremony
took place, and Tennyson's second re-
mark was this question: ooh, Lady
Blank, do know Lord Blank" The
person about whom he thus inquired
was a peer who, though young, had
won much distinction in public life and
was widely known in private.
His wife was devoted to him and
jealous of any word which sounded like
disparag ement Of his position or indif-
ference to his renown. She looked Ten
nyson in the face and answered, with
perfect composure Of manner: II am
sure, Lord Tennyson, l can't say. I
never heard him mention your name in
my Hfe." For moment the poet was
staggered by this straight hit from
the shoulder, but he had the good sense
and good temper to take it well.

Curious Picture Frames.

In many churches of Provence and
Italy, especially those near the sea,
ex yoto paintings placed on the walls
in accordance with vows made by pill
grims in moments Of danger are often
remarkable for their frames. Among
the curiosities may be enumerated
laths formed OF splinters from ships
that have been wrecked, also frames
made Of pieces of heavy cables, occa-
sionally painted bright .hues, but some
times left in their primitive gray col
or splashed with tar. Nailed to the
laths surrounding painting represent
ing sailors fighting with fierce savages
may be seen African or Polynesian
spears and darts or swords made OF
hardwood, evidently mementos OF ter
rible struggles. Sailors or landsmen
who have made vows during times OF
peril at sea and who have no trophies
to display will surround their paint
ings with broad bands OF wood heay-
lily incrusted with shells and seaweed,
not infreduently Of rare and extremely
beautiful kinds.

appointed last year, according to the
annual report Of ]. s. Bristow, fourth
assistant postmaster general, issued
Wednesday This is the largest NUM-
Der appointed in any one year in the
history Of the postal service. The in in
crease was due mainly to the expira-
ton Of commits during the year
and the advance Of many fourth-class
Offices to the presidential grade. The
total number Of appointments Of post
masters Of all classes was 49, 70, an
increase of 1913. There was a slight
increase in the number Of removals
of pOstmasters ''for cause, as re-
suit Of more strict discipline for
carelessmess and Irregularities. There
were 3,058 post offices esta blished and
4,059 discontinued, the latter attrib-
utable mostly to the extension of the
rural free delivery service and the
consolidation Of post offices adjacent
to large presidential Offices. The
number Of post Offices in the United
States June 80, was 1924, Of which
22O were first class, ], O23 second class,
3,4sS third class and 71,193 fourth
