M GOOD WORKERS
Many Drive Wagons Over Lonely Ru.
raj Mail ROutes-HOld Posi-
tons in Postal Service.

The largest number of women EN-
ployes in any line of work are employed
in the United States postal service.
Some of the highest salaried women in
the world are employed thus. More than
one-third of them are past middle age,
and many are past 70 years, says the
Chicago Tribune.
Many of the ome are mail wagon
drivers, having long and lonesome trips
in uninhabited parts of the country. In
great numbers they are employed in the
rural free delivery.
Nearly all the experts in the dead
letter office are women. They have to
perform tasks which to the average per
son would seem impossible. 1t is their
duty to take charge of the 5000 pieces
of mail which go astray every year, and
they must see that these waits get 70
their proper destinations, if possible.
and if not they are returned to the
senders.
Many of the rural post offices are filled
by women. The reasons why a large
number of these rural post offices are in
trusted to women are not hard to find.
The work is usually light and is such as
can be handled by a woman. 1t is the
general opinion that women in such po-
sitions have given the best work to the
department.

GREATEST CHEESE MARKET.
AIkmaar. Holland. Holds Worlds
Record i'm Quantity of Cheese
shipped to other Points.

Alkmaar is not only the greatest
cheese market of Holland, but also of
the world, says What TO Eat. From this
town yearly 10, 1000, 900 pounds of cheese
are sent out. 'et the visitor, even on
market Friday, finds no amount of bust
ness commensurate with these figures
going on in the quiet town of 10000 in
habitants. The reason is that the cheese
is made in the dairies in the country
round about Alkmaar, and only
brought into town to be shipped away.
On market day the peasants from the
surrounding country begin to flock into
town very early, bringing with them
loads of red and yellow balls of cheese.
The high. clumsy carts with long curry
ing tongues, on one side of which the
horse is hitched, are quite as picturesque
as the peasants themselves in gala at
tire. After unhitching and caring for
their horses, unloading the cheese and
piling 1t in an orderly pile in the open
square, they wander about visiting with
their neighbors. while they wait Their
turn in the weigh house.

EXPERIENCE SOCIAL.

The Epworth League, of st. Mark
church, Pleasant Plains, held an Ex-
p%erience Social in the chapel last
night. Every member of the congre-
cation had been requested to earn a
dollar, and they were compelled TO
tell their experience. The way the
workers told of how they earned the
amount caused much amusement.
After the amounts had all been turned
in refreshments, which had been pre-
pared by the Ladies Aid Society, of
the church, were secured. A musical
program was then rendered. 1t was
very late when the crowd left for
home.

On Rally Day Sunday, George

that Mrs. George Lahue's class, by
each scholar giving a small sun of
money, purchase one of the palms and
present it to the Sunday school. Mrs.
Bloodgood collected the money, pur-
chased a palm of Mr.. Walker and Mrs.
Lahue presented it to the school as a
present from her scholars. They are

GENTLY stated in the Evening News.
Miss Mulholland feels that the pub
LEGATION of such gossip about her was
altogether uncalled for and exceed
ingly annoying"
The Evening News is not DESTROYS
of bringing any more notoriety to the

Doren it was so stated in the News.

than justice to Jul readers to print
