AMERICAN AUTHORS WANT
LOWER POSTAL RATES.
They Can Mail Manuscripts to Points
Outside the United States More
Chenply Than in America.


REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Washington, July 5.-The Society of Amer
lean Authors has again opened its crusade
against the comparatively high postage on
manuscripts mailed by authors. newspaper

manuscripts to the most remote parts OF
the world. they do so at the rate of 1
cent for every two ounces. or four times
more cheaply than they can mail to points
within the United States.
Also, the same writer's, IL living In the

LUCID EXPLANATION.

Linguistcs in most of us is confined to smat-
tering of English, but we not monoglots to the
point of imagining that English is the only language
in use. Indeed, Americans are familiar with the
foreign speectoens and the sound Of undomesticnt-

tongues and intelligences.

Kentucky's Ills.

d. Neshit in Chicago Tribune
Kentucky's hills full of rils
And all the rills are lined with stills,
And all the stills full of giils
And all the gs are full of thrills.
And all the thrills full of kills.
You see the feudists dot the hills
And camp along the little riils
Convenient to the busy stills
And thirsting for the trimming gs.
And when the Juice his system fills
Each feudist whoops around and kills
Now. if.they'd only stop the stills
They'd cure Kentucky's many ills
Men would be spared to climb the hills
And operate the busy stills
However, this would mean more gills
And that, of course would mesn more thrills,
Resulting in the same old kills
So all the hills and rs and stills
And all the gis and thrills and kills
Are splendid for the coffin mills
And make more undertakers bills.

the use of the arm. The injured man
was married and lived at PIG Collins
