WOMEN GOOD WORKERS.
raj Mail Route.-Hold Other Posi-
lions I'm 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 women 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. It 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 to
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.
Alkmaar. Holland, Holds Worlds
Record in 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
-,own yearly f0,e6o,et0 pounds of cheese
are sent out, yet the visitor, even on
market Friday, finds no amount of bust
ness commensurate with these figures
going on In the quiet town of 1000 in
iabitants. The reason is that the cheese
is made in the diaries 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 curv-
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.

his playing:
"Great, isn't it?" commented one.

"THE FATHER OF THE BANJO. f"
ment Popular Bat Lived TO
See Its Decline.

The man who made the banjo pop
ular and who lived to see it decline in
favor died the other day in New York
city. He was Frank B. Converse, and
he was known as ''the father Of the
banjo" says the New York Sun.
Mr.. Converse was born at Westield.
Mass. in 1887. He came of a musical
family. His brother, Charles Converse.
has written many hymn tunes and an
thems.
The family moved to Elmira when
Mr.. Converse was a boy. and there he
was educated. At 16 he left his home
to become a musician. He drifted into
a minstrel company. travelled over the
country and appeared later in London
with Pony Moore and the Christy COM
pany.
II was as a performer on the banjo
that Mr.. Converse was known princi-
pally. and he composed for the instru-
ment and wrote for II. He continued
to teach the instrument after he retired
from the stage a quarter OF century
ago. and most Of the noted old-time
players were his pupils.
The banjo was a very simple contri-
-ance when he began to use II in his
Minstrel turns. and he did much to de-
velop IL into what II is to-day.
Mr.. Converse's widow is Harriet
Maxwell Converse. the author, lectur-
or and authority on Indian lore.
The decline of the banjo followed
soon after the public interest In min
7trel performances began to decrease.
It is rarely heard on the stage now,
even in vaudeville performances and
even the college clubs have lost their
old enthusiasm for It. Now II is not
even used to tie ribbons on.
