SMART RURAL POSTMASTER
Unique Method to Increase the Re-
 ceipts of His OHice.

Unique Method to Increase the Re-
 ceipts of His Onice.
 A. A. Moser of Ruble, near Union town, Pa. during the recent political campaign used unique method to in crease the receipts of his office. He was assistant secretary of the Prohihi- ton county committee and postmaster at Ruble, a remote town with fifty in- habitants and two miles from a rail- road. Mir. Moser subscribed $10o to the campaign fund. The Prohibitionists started on strenuous campaign. Thou sands of letters and circulars were sent broadcast and the letters dated Uniontown, but all bore the postmark of Ruble. ,.
 So great was the increase in the Ruble office receipts that the postal authorities wrote to ask the cause, but Mr. Moser was proceeding legally and explained clearly his case. He received the commission on the extra business and was materially benefited, and when the votes were counted on the state ticket the Prohibitionists had in MT. Moser's election district forty-sev- en, or one more than Republicans and Democrats combined.

! heard of these blind tigers, and one day, in company with gentleman and two ladies. drove to Linville Falls, says q writer in the Raleigh (N. O. News and Observer. As we were going we passed q fortification on one side of the road; 1; the driver announced that 1t was a tiger" We regretted as we drove on that we had not stopped to examine 1t, resolving to give 1t trial on our return. Coming back we found that 1t was a square, 1og-hewn building, abutting on the road with no front door at all, the logs fitting so closely there were no means of seeing anything whatever in side.
 The rear of the structure was en- veloped in large brush arhor reaching on both sides to the mountain ravine. Hacked on the front of the tiger was the following sign: 'Watts's Saloon, July 1. Brandy, $2.75 per gallon; whisky, 25 cents pint, $2.50 gallon. Anything else in that line. Drop your money in the drawer"
 There was hole in the logs in which was fitted box. I dropped 25 cents in it and voice from the inside said. Five cents more for bottle"

Of Bar e'ttrS UnIOl, ao, 2oi,

The second sacred concert given this
season by the Providence Bartender's uh-
ion, Local No. 2S5 proved TO be an affair
OF extra merit as attested by the se'ect
audience which gathered at the Empire
theatre last evening and unstintingly ap-
plauded every number on the generous
programme.
The orchestra opened the concert with
a stirring overture, and Hart ana Wlnn
appeared in a singing sketch which was
most effectively given and made good
opening number.
The programme follows:

While each number was OF exceptional
merit and Il would be hard to pick espec-
ial features the work OF the Swedish
Singing society and little May Hayes de-
serve special mention.
