NEW POSTAL CARDS
First Installment Of Them Ex-

Radical Changes Are Made in Them
Some Innovations Intro
duced.
PosTMARK ON THE FRONT

Samples of the new postal cards Just
ont are expected at any time at the
local postofiice. when Paducahans VIII
have their first opportunity of seeing
what radical changes have been made
in the makeup Of the new as compar'
ed with the old cards.
On the new card the vigrette OF
Gen. Grant, which appeared on both
the for warded and return card, has been
succeeded by those Of Generals Sher'
man and Sheridan. These, together
with the date of the birth and death
Of each, constitute the design.
On the face OF the forwarded card is
the head of Gen. Sherman, with the
years 1s20-ls9i, and on the return
card is the face of Gen. Sheridan,
with the dates ls31.lsss.
A change has also been made in the
printing and remaining part OF the
design. The caution to the sender.
"This side for address only" together
with 1.-THE United States Of America,

the space between the stamp and the
edge Of the card, is confined to cor
ner in small type, admitting OF the
two postmarks which are the neces-
sary seals Of the postoffice department.
This innovation was the result Of
the efforts Of the business element OF
the country. 10 when the question Of

will be afforded the business man
from the fact that instead OF one post.

obscured by the printing, and another
on the back, usually blotted out by
the writing, both Of the postoffice
marks will appear on the front of the
card in an open space reserved for this
postal seal. The hour In which the
card was mailed and the time Of its
receipt ct its destination will appear
plainly on the front Of the new cards
when the issue is circulated.

IMPORTANT RULING.
You May Sell Your Timber Claim
Without Fear Of Trouble.

A Hornbrook, California, special
to the Oregonisn, dated 0ctober %,
says:
When the publication Of an alleged
new Interpretation by the United

timber and stone act was first made
by the newspapers, there was con.
siderable excitement and no little

In the latter class was Chas. w.
Strother, a young sttroney Of Yreka,
who, In accordance with his usual
prudent custom, concluded to AZ =.
certain beyond question his status
before making final proof, and to
this end he communicated with the
authorities direct. He stated plainly
that he had no intention Of living
on the land or individually making
any personal use of the timber there
on, but that the entry was made by
him for his own use and benefit. In
the sense that he intended to hold
the same until he could sell to ad.
vantage In the future.
He stated that no desired to know
whether there was prospect Of
his patent being held up by the dc.
psrtment aud his money forfeited In
case he should proceed to prove up.
The following reply should effect.

the rights Of individuals In the

England's paper strength would dwin-
die away when the need came.
Among the officers in England's ar
my may be found some of the best SOL
diers in the world, and some of the
poorest. An old officer said to me
some time ago, "the curse of the Eng
fish army are the second sons of titled
fathers" There are many of these,
and it is the exception to find one of
them In the service for the love of it.
They are there for the love of position,
and social duties demand much Of their
time. They have but scant idea of
drill, or discipline, of administration
or other army duties. These things are
left to the noncommissioned officers.
The second sons look pretty on parade.
they grace uniform, they take we'll
with the ladies, but they are not cam
paigners of the class that win other
battles than those of Dan Cupid And,
after all, that is what they are there
for. At the Royal Military academy at
Woolwich they do not make soldiers
of the same caliber as Uncle Sam does
at West Point. If the cadets have the
stuff of which soldiers are made in
them it is cultivated after they have
entered the active service.
Another weakness of the British SOL
der of the regular establishment is his
low mental standing. Gen. Kelly

Snake and BuIIpout.

An amateur naturalist reports an in
teresting struggle he witnessed between
a small bullpout that didn't seem to
want to be eaten alive and a black
water snake that was strictly "up
against it," The little pout's side horns
were extended stiffiy and proved as eff
fective a protection to the fish as though
it were incased in barbed wire. The
snake had caught the fish tail first and
it's puzzled maneuvers when the horn
like projections on the fish stopped it's
gorging operations were amusing to
see. The snake finally came ashore and
reared it's head against two powders,
rubbing up and down and back and
forth In an apparently intelligent eff
fort to rub off the projecting fins of the
little fish. 1t seemed to the naturalist
quite likely to accomplish this act in a
short time, so he took hand in the
game, whacking the snake on the head
with a stick. Out popped the pout into
the water and swan away.-N. Y. Sun.

tries; we want place to sell our grain
and our lumber. It is that tariff which
keeps us poor"
That is it. l have heard the same
sentiments expressed in Canada prac-
tically from the Atlantic to the Paci-
fic, and if annexation ever comes it
will be because love of the dollar has
outgrown the love for England. 1t will
not be because they love England less.
but because they love the dollar more.
Will the American immigrant to
Canada influence a sentiment for an
nexation? Will he grow homesick?
Will he wish for the old flag to fly
over his school house and his home?
The chances are that he will not unless
the desire be born of love for the dollar.
Canada will give him as good a govern
ment as he has ever known; it will give
him as many liberties, as many oppor-
tunities for himself and family in the
way of education and refinement, and as
many or more privileges than he knew
in the States. But when he sells his
wheat for a few cents less per bushel,
and his cattle for trifle less per pound
than he knows his old neighbor in the
States is getting his love for the dollar
may, we say, kindle within him senti-
ment for annexation. Surrounded as he
is by immigrants from every nation
over which flag of civilization flies,
and who care no more for the union jack
than they do for the yellow banner of
