SHE SHOT MAYORS Hat DEE.
Complaint Against the POstmistress
of Texas Town.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
Washington, Nov. 21.-Fourth Assist
ant Postmaster General Bristow re-
ceived information to-day from the
sheriff of little town in Texas which
caused him Immediately to order a
postoffice inspector to visit the place
and investigate the conditions in the
postoffce there. Mr.. Bristow isn't ex-
actly sure whether he is going to hear
from the inspector or read an account
i'll some newspaper of his funeral. He
is hoping for the best, however.
According to the sheriffs letter. the
citizens of the little Texas town would
like to have the pOstmistress toned
down. He explains that the woman
in question has undertaken to improve
the manners of the residents of the
town, which, he admits, are somewhat
ragged, but that the means adopted
to attain this praiseworthy end are
considered rather harsh. She objects
to any citizen of the town enterting
the postotfice with his hat on, and
when the Mayor or the sheriff or some
more humble resident is a trihe for
getful and strolls up to the counter
with his head covered, the postmistress
enforces her desire with a brace of
pistols. The sheriff says:
we uOll set up any claim tnaJ our
manners are all they should be. but
we'd like to be reasoned with and help
ed along. The postmistress here is
worthy woman, all right, and there
amt a thing against her character,
but she certainly is rude and hasty.
One day last week the Mayor, being
some flushed up and careless, refused
to remove his hat and bow on asking
for the official mail, whereupon his hat
was shot off and plumb ruined. and he
| left the postoffice so swiftly and I'M
dignified that it told against the stand
ing of the town.
There's another thing we don't
| think is fair, This postmstress won't
let niggers and greasers come in the
Office under any consideration. We
amt overload of niggers and greasers
ourselves, but it is sure discommoding
for the leading citizens to have to so
| to the postoftice personally to get the
mail, just because this lady don't like
to see anything but a gentleman. We
picayunish where a lady is concerned
but this one I'm telling about is sure
arbitrary and abrupt and we'd like to
have her toned down some"
Mr.. Bristow thought the case de-
served consideration and dispatched an
inspector to the scene. The inspector
has been instructed for safety's sake
to remove his hat on entering the office.
Mr.. Bristow says he has lots of work
for his force of inspectors just now,
and doesn't care to have it decreased
suddenly by the loss of a man.

FURNITURE COMPANY
IN FINANCIAL STRAITS.

Statesville. N. c., Nov. 23.-At noon
to-day the Key Furniture Company
closed the doors of it's factory and filed
a petition in bankruptcy. The as
sets of the company are given at s9i-
600, and liabilities at $4,000. 1t is
estimated that all debts can be paid.
The Key estate, A. K. Klingender
and G. E. French compose the corpor-
alton, owning the business. About
siXty-five hands are employed by the
company. The failure is probably a
surprise to the general public, and is
much regretted.

why HH CELEBRATED.

An old Britisher who had been
an officer in our Army was a well
known character in the Western
city in which he lived. Although
he had lived in the city for twenty
years, his dislike and contempt for
the land Of the Stars and Stripes,
its people and it's government, were
public property. He lost no op-
portunity, in fact, Of showing his
contempt.
Great surprise, therefore, was
felt among the citizens when, on
the morning Of the last Fourth Of
July, the house Of the Britisher
was seen to be dressed In fiaes
from roof to basement. A brass
band played upon the balcony and
a dozen servants were firing off
crackers. A huge crowd gathered,
and, thinking the Englishman had
repsnted Of his dislike TO America
and was Joining in with Americans
In honoring the day on which they
became independent of Britain,
they cheered him vocifsrously.
Finally, \ newspapermsu rushed
forward and exclaimed: "Well

Louisiana is oneof the best States
for vegetables in tho Union aud
the fruit aud berry yield is also
fairly good. There is no reason
why Louisiana should not head tho
list Of States where vegetables are
canned for the market of tho

Another good feature about can

the outlay for machinery, no In

more while five thousand will put

THE SURE, SWEET WAY.
written for the Reformer. }

Loves Birthday, like great white, tranquil star,
Throws, through the old years gloom, its light afar
Christmas again How shall make it gay?
That is the query of the world Away.
No deed of valor, that bold heart of fame
To compass, cunning brain and hand employ;
No jewel thought, unguessed truth revealed
These are not things to waken Christmas joy.
IT'S not great thoughts or deeds that fit the day,
But Just smile, song-and love, Away
The young loves kiss upon the old loves lips;
The quick hand helping when the tired foot trips;
The clasp of friendship for the trust beguiled;
The comrade smile unto the eager child;
Some strength or comfort that one life has known
Into another life whose need is shown
Giving, receive-This is the sure, sweet way
To waksn gladness and make Christmas gay
Adelaide Davis Reynolds.
