Hay HSoPAo WIZ "SAS ~AAAS> ~
, rolls of the city post Office in a fraudu-
lent manner. Tulloch charges that
some men were on the pay rolls three
times under different names and we're
drawing three salaries; that certain
newspaper man was on the rolls as
the physician to the city post office,
and that he knew no more about the
practice of medicine than a hog
knows about navigating ship, yet
he was receiving salary OF Sl.7OO% q
year. He says these frauds and
Irregularities have been going on
ever since Perry Heath, who now is
the Secretary of the Republican
National Committee, was installed as
First Assistant Postmaster General;
that he has the papers in his posses
sion to prove all his charges and only
asks the opportunity to do so. From
the way things look now he probably
will not get the chance to prove his
charges. Mr.. Payne is making bluff
at Investigating these charges made
by Tulloch, but from his motions he
hardly will give Mr.. Tulloch an
opportunity to go on the witness
stand. He sees what the whole thing
is leading to and is doing his best to
squelch any further investigation.
He is shrewd politician, was placed
in the cabinet as Roosevelts political
guide and counsellor, and it evidently
is his belief that continuance of the
Investigation will result in serious
consequences to the administration.
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, of
Massachusetts, who is the spokes-
man for Roosevelt on the floor of the
Senate, evidently thinks otherwise,
for he said here the other day after
reading in the Washington ':Evening
Star" defence of A. W. Machen,
Superintendent of Free Delivery, by
Postmaster General Payne, that
Machen would have to 60 and that
his suspension or discharge had been
ordered by the President before he
left on his western trip; that if the
Postmaster General did not get rid
of Machen there would be something
doing in the resignation line in Mr..
Payne's Office, and the Postmaster
General would be forced out of the
Cabinet. Mr.. Payne is now between
the devil and the deep blue sea. If
he kicks out Bob Wynne, who started
the investigation, Wynne will pull
down the temple. Machen knows too
much, and if he is kicked out be will
play the same game, and there you
are. In the meantime the democrats
are holding their noses and watching
the fun.

Billy Felix's Letter.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:

we are IeellnS nappy, cneeIlui
and gay
During these pleasant days OF
lovely May,
The wind from the east is cool to
man and beast,
How it RACES and doth blow, some
times hi igh, some times low.
We hope ere long she'n' get calm
and serene,
Then will appear the unwelcomed
guest, Gen. Green,
The poor farmer then will meet
his match,
While in the fields he'll have to
dig and scratch.
The recent cool weather has greatly
retarded the growth OF corn, cotton
and vegetables.
Our young bachelor had feast Of
fun the other day as he stood at a
safe distance watching our esteemed
friend Mr.. W. A. Derrick and sons
hive a swarm of bees. But ere long
the table turned. For as he went on
his way after he had his fun at the
expense, so to speak of Mr.. Derrick,
be came in contact with q snake
The good part about it, too, was, he
had not gotten out of sight of the
Messrs. Derrick. The hateful rep
tile happened to be one of those
long slick coach whips, about five or
six feet long, the latter extremity,
brown. Well, as the young bachelor
approached near, his reptile began
to show fight. Then the snake and the
bachelor had it. First be would run
the snake and then the snake would
turn about and run him. The snake
had somewhat the advantage, for
the young bachelor had to watch his
snakeship with one eye and the
Messrs. Derrick with the other eye
10 see if they were laughing at him
Bee stings are bad and whips are
bad and for my part I don't know
which I had rather prefer. But one
thing I do know, that young bachelor
didn't think of his best girl at all.
And b. has about concluded not to
laugh at bee hivers any more, especi-
ally in the snake season.
Mr.. Brooks Yonce discovered some
chicken bones while working turpen-
tine one day last week and cutting

Our r. F. D. route from CASTOR
continues to grow in favor and pop
ularity. The volume of mail also
continues to increase. It certainly is
quite an improvement on the old
system. The farmers should take
their county paper and get the news
at home es we'll as elsewhere. They
should take some good agricultural
magazine and keep up with the i'm
proved methods of farming as we'll as
the best breeds Of stock. They should
also take your UNCONVENTIONAL paper
and keep abreast of the progress and
development of their denomination in
all the missionary and benevolent
enterprises.
The praises Of Congressman Lever
are sung for his faithfulness in carry
ing out the R. F. D. routes started
by the lamented Dr.. Stokes.
Mr.. John S. Brooker, who has
already lived out his allotted three

NOT DRUGS
Food Did It,

After using laxative and cathartic medicines from childhood a case of chronic and apparently incurable con- stipation yielded to the scientific food Grape-Nuts in few days From early childhood I suffered with such terrible constipation that I had to use laxatives continuously going from one drug to another and suffering more or Jess all the time.
 "A prominent physician whom I con- suited told me the muscles of the d. igestive organs were partially paralyzed and could not perform their work with out help of some kind, so I have tried at different times about every laxative and cathartic known but found no help that was at all permanent. I had finally become discouraged and had given my case up as hopeless when I began to use the pre-digested food Grape-N Nuts.
 Although I had not expected this food to help my trouble to my great surprise Grape-Nuts digested immedi- ately from the first and in a few days I was convinced that this was just what my syetem needed.
 "The bowels performed their functions regularly and I am now completely and permanently cured of this awful trouble
 Truly the power of scientific food must be unlimited" Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich.
 There is reason.
 HeaIthful desserts are just as easy as the bad kind. For further particulars see the little recipe book in each pack age of Grape-Nuts.

EMERSON's VISIT TO JOHN MUIR. A few months after leaving San
 Franisco MuiT reach d +i,e Yosemite valley, and there, in the midst of all
 that was glorious in nature, he decided to renounce all IFS inventions and de- vote his life to the study of the inven- tions Of God though he co1ii live on little enough--he has said fifty cents a
 week-that little was necessary, and l one season he herded sheep, and then he made his mechanical knoWledg dgAser-
 viceable in building a small sawmill in Yosemite, :o be used for cutting fallen trees. The hotel-keeper who employed l him was somewhat doubtful of his abil- ity, for Muir had earned the title of
 "one of them botany fellers,' g but, busi-
 ness having called the owner away for a few months, he was glad on his re- l turn to find the mill running. Out over the water-wheel Muir built Himself d little cubby of a den. hanging like a
 swallows nest to the gable of the build
 ing. with one window opening to the grandeur of the valley. It was ap- pIodC1lCu bS i St0Gps ileLIloW 5lldtlh ldu- 1 der, making it rather difficult of access to careless visitors. Here he kept his treasures, his collections Of cones and plants, here he filled some Of his volu-
 minous notebooks with sketches and closely written memoranda, and here he entertained Emerson, though he must have trembled when he saw the tall, angular, awkward form of the poet climbing his perilous ladder. Undoubt- edly he showed Emerson his treasures 1 with the same unconscious enthusiasm with which he exhibits them to-day. Man." he says, with a quaint bit of Scotch in his, voice, "..but. that's a grand three" or isn't that an awful queer muggins Of a: .coIle!" 7 Any way, we
 know that Emerson enjoyed Muir, and
 insisted on seeing much of him. and that when he returned he told Asa Gray about him, and when Gray visited the Sierras he searched Muir out and made a friend of him. Muir paid his highest
 compliment to Emerson by comparing
 him with the grandest of trees. He Is ] the Sequoia of the human race" Ray 1 Stannard Baker in the Outlook. s.9 x '

Government Seeds.

Meffu Advocate.
The Grand Rapids Tribune wants
the congressional distribution Of seed
abolished. We fear the Tribune has
undertaken a job that is a little too
big. These horney-handed sons Of
toll want the seeds. The average
man who has a piece of land big
enough TO plant anything will 90 far
Their for and think more of a package
of free seeds than anything one can
imagine.
For the past five years the writer
has had the distribution of the con-
gressional seed for the biggest part of
the county, and we never could have
dreamed the demand for this seed be-
fore we learned how eager the people
are for it. And we have observed
that the seed the government sends
out is very good. The facts are we
are all lot of grafters and what we
can get from Uucle Sam we think is
so much clear gain. The government
distribution of seed will 90 on as long
as this republic stands.
