The postoffice business at
this place has arrived at that
period Of growth where the
sale of stamps has reached
ever $4,000 and yesterday it
was placed in the second class.
This means that Postmaster
Cook will hereafter receive a
regular salary of $4,000 a year
instead of being paid according
to the amount of business
transacted. The government
also allows an assistant post
master $1,000 and $500 a year
for clerk hire with all station
airy furnished. Another reason
why there will be a bigger
fight than ever over who will

The editor has trouble as we'll
as other people. Our better
half and ourself have been liv-
ing economically for seven
months and we had saved up
six dollars. We had it laid
away in a dresser drawer for
safe keeping, and the other
evening some one broke into
the house and "swiped" the six
dollars, and now we are busted
again. That settles it. Well
not try to get rich again, but
will spend our money as it
comes in. We will have to go
without a summer coat now,
and hang to this same old pair
of socks, if our delinquent SUBJ
scribers don't come in and make
up the six dollars we had stolen.

In the last number of the Journal OF

strongly advised us to go elsewhere,
alleging that this place was haunted
by elephant ghosts, and that they had
been tie direct cause of g number OF
deaths, principally among their child

1t is necessary to explain that al

Word comes from Paris that the latest

s peacock served in all the glory OF his
plumage at cost OF $780, A rich Ameri-

the other day with an account OF how she

when, later on, learned what had

dinner given two nights later by the same
hostess to distinguished visiting diplomat
that heard about the peacock.
Il sat next the diplomat and heard the
hostess remark near the close of the dinner:

all the delicacies Of the season, and this

HIS WATER COOLER SHATTERED
And with II Secretary HitchcOck's Adj
mirati0n for the Saengerbund.

WASHINGTON, June 2O-The whole Ad-
ministration, and the President In particu-
lar, has shown most kindly feeling toward
the German singers Of the Sangerbund,
and Secretary, OF the Interior Hitchcock
until to-day shared in this feeling; but the
action OF one "Sangerbunder" In mis-
taking Mr.. Hitchcock's pet water-cooer
for a beer keg, with disastrous result to
the cooler, has completely shattered the
Secretarys faith in the organization.
Some time ago Mr. Hitchcock received
az present handsome glass water -oooler
in which he had the greatest pride. The
cooler was large affair, with handsome
nickel mountings. 1t had two glass
cylinders, the smaller one containing the
ice placed within the larger one, which
served as a receptacle for the water.
The Secretary had this cooler placed just
outside his door, 30 that it might be ad-
mired and used. But the 'Sangerbunder
ruined the whole game. Instead of a

He placed the glass under the faucet and

nothing doing and he pressed a little
harder, but the cooler was not built for
such weight. The glass around the faucet
broke with crash. and the .Skngerbunder'
was deluged with ice water and broker
glass.
The crash brought Secretary Hitchcock
and could only glare at the -Sangerbunder
