JERIcHO POsTOFFICE.
Pap Perkins, Postmaster, Tells How a
Boom Failed to Boom.

1t was Deacon Spooner who started it
The doctor sent him off to summer
and when he came home he had the
biggest kind of an idea in his head
He got down to the postoflce that same
evening and said to the crowd.
What we want to do is to turn III
and make Jericho a summer resort.
She's got everything the heart could
wish for. and if we don't see 10000 peo-
Die here next summer it viii be our
own fault I'm primed with facts and
statistics, and I move we call a public
meeting for next Tuesday evening"
The idea met with favor, and the
meeting was called and during the in
terval the price of butter and eggs went
up 30 ner cent. Most of the families
in town decided on taking in bOarders.
and they decided that SO per week
would be a fair price to charge There
was d large turnout at the meeting. ana
Deacon SDooner went right to business
by calling for order and saying.
1T may be taken for granted that
this large and enthusiastic audience has
assembled here tonight for the purpose
of placing Jericho where she belongs
on the pedestal beside Newport and SaI-
atoga We have here "A town of ioe in
habitants. 1t is five miles from any
railroad. There is cuietness here-there
is scenery and health. You don't find
any 'skeeters. and you never near OF
amy one having the ague. NO circus
ever shows here to corrupt our morals.

talks too loud. there is an ordinance to
restrain him. Nature meant this to be
place where mankind could come and
rest his weary soul and body and go
back to the world rejuvenated. and up
to this date none of US have known
what a good thing we had"
The Deacon stopped for applause and
got it, and after bowling his thanks he
went on;
THE idea is to turn Jericho into
summer resort and welcome thousands
to her gates. To get a boom under way
our motto mast lie ITo homo Dubiico'
There must be 20 hangs IS nus-lo ex-
amples Of individual aelHshness. III
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1903-03-20

Then came the question of hauling
the people to and from the railroad.
Nothing so discouraged a person as to
meet with extortion on the start He
had thought the matter over. and it
was his idea that the charge should be
81 per capita in each direction. In case
any one started a livery stable in town
and three or four such institutions
would be sure to rise up-the fixed rate
hadn't ought to be above So an hour for
at a summer resort he had longed for
pumpkin pie, and it was not to be had.
People who came to Jericho would long.
The pumpkin pie would be ready, but
no matter whether round or square,
should be cut into four pieces. and the
price per piece should be % cents.
There was one thing more, and the
Deacon proceeded to state it. The peo-
pie should turn out to welcome every
new arrival and make him feel at home,
but for every such turn out there should
be a fixed charge of so cents and the
same should be collected with the board
bill. The meeting adjourned amidst
great enthusiasm. and several of the
houses were Illuminated in honor of the
happy. They were still rejoicing next
day when q tin peddler came along. He
heard what had happened, and then he
shook his head and mournfully replied:
Pm sorry, but you people win be dis
appointed
but how?'' was asked.
Why, Halifax is offering all that you
are, and is going to throw in two mud
holes and a backyard for nothing. and
the crowd Will all go that way
Only one summer Tesorter came to
Jericho. and he slept in d fence corner
over night and stole apples for his
breakfast--(Copyright, 1903, by O. B.

1t was moved and supported that all

the subject Of a lake. All summer re-
sorts had a least one, and fortunat ely
for Jericho the village owned horse
pond. There was no doubt in his mind
that the pond could be enlarged and i'm
proved and made into a lake. and he
hoped the price of boat hire would be
kept down to the lowest figure. In fact
he would agree to put twelve boats OH
the lake and not charge above a dollar
an hour for any one OF them. Included
in this charge would be a barrel on
which to roll people who were half
drowned.

WHAT SHALL HE READg,
One of the Most Difficult Questions in
the Line of Parental Duty.

The authorities are so at variance on
the question of what the young should
read that one is almost tempted to ex-
claim with DR. Johnson; Whilst you
stand celebrating which book your son
shall read first. another boy has read
both. Read anything five hours a day
and you will soon be learned"
1t seems to be certain that the well
brought UP child of the future win be
innocent of an acquaintance with Blue
beard, Jack the Giant Killer, and other
blOOdthirsty heroes, and that because of
her impOsSib BILE venture with wolf even
the well-intentioned Red Riding Hood
viii be stunned. OF course Cinderella
viii have to 60, not only on account of
her absurd godmOther, but because her
story would seem to point the moral
that happy marriages may be made to
depend upon the fit of a slipper.
Even the old standard books are con-
demned. An English writer recently ex-
pressed scorn for the 'nauseOus stuff
contained in that old favOrite, Swiss
Family Robinson" and the fact that
Dickens assumes a genial and humorous
attitude toward intoXicauOn is said to
render many of his novels unsuitable for
the young mind And some parents OBJ
ject to the sight of blood in literature
and say that they would as soon intro
duce their children to the horrors of a
real battlefield as to permit them to
look upon the scenes of bloodshed in
the novels Of Scott. Not only do the
opinions Of parents differ upon the sub
ject of good reading, but the tastes of
children, though undiscTiminat ting are
equally decided, and it is of little use TO
attempt to persuade them to read books
which, in the phrase of their elders, do
not appeal to them" To find the books
that have this appeal and which are at
the same time what Emerson calls the
majestic expressions of the universal
conscience" is the difficult duty of par
ents who desire their children to pos
sess that rarest treasure, a well-trained
mind.-Chicago Tribune.
