was using Postum Food Coffee. To

POLICY OF ADMINISTRATION.
To Retain Old Soldiers Who Have
Made Good Record.
THE WISH OF The PRESIDENT.

Washington, Mar. e.-The admins
tration's policy to give the veterans
preference in Office, other things being
equal, is reiterated in the following
letter which Postmaster General Payne
has sent to a representative in con-
gress:
Referring to our interview regard
ing the appointment of postmaster at
and to your request that Mr..
be appointed, 1 beg to say that
the records of the department show
that the present postmaster has an
excellent record as an official. He has
made a most capable and satisfactory
postmaster, both as to his relations
with the department and the patrons
of the office. He is veteran of the
civil war, with most excellent record
as soldier. 1t is the wish of the
president to retain in the service old
soldiers who have made good public
officials and against whom no charges
of misconduct have been preferred,
as is the case in this instance. The
Grand Army veterans residing in -
have entered a protest against Mr..
- (the present postmaster's) dis
placement. Under these circumstances,
we are not disposed to make a change
in the office named. Yours very truly,
III. C. PAYNE.

DE BoISSIERE CASE AGAIN.
Attachment Proceedings Against Per.
sonai Property, Rents, Etc.


sonai Property. Rents, Etc.
Ottawa, Ks, Mar. Another move
in the De Boissiere Orphans home case
is made Attorneys Troutman and
Stone, of Topeka, filed attachment pro-
ceedings against all the personal and
real property of L. c. Slime, president
of the board of trustees of the defunct
orphans home. The Kansas supreme
court recently gave the title of the
home property to the Topeka attorneys,
who had purchased the interests of the
French heirs of the late v. De Bois-
siere. Troutman and Stone claim
there is due them not less than S27, 900
from De Boissiere's personal property
and from rents and profits on the es-
tate since 1892. Robert Stone, one of
the plaintiffs, was here and instituted
attachment and punishment proceed
ings that cover all the property held in
the name of L. c. Slime and in the
names of members of his family and of
his employees. Slime is a man of con-
siderable wealth. He has been in
active charge of the De Boissiere estate
since the property was willed to the
Kansas Odd Fellows in 1892. 1t is un-
derstood the attachment proceedings
and the effort to secure rents and
profits, as well as to secure the personal
property, will be strenuously resisted
in the courts

eral Dyer, of the Spanish war veterans,
has issued circular to his organiza-
tion in which he calls attention to the
meeting of the joint committee on con-
solIdatiun of tue Spanish War Veter-
ans and the Spanish American
Veterans, recently held here. He says
that he regrets that consolidation was
not accomplished, the reason for the
failure being, he says, because of the
request of the committee representing
the Spanish, American War Veterans
that the joint committee adjourn until
certain legal action contemplated with

termined. 1t is not thought that con-
solidation will be accomplished before

On Sending Lottery Tickets,

Washington, Feb. e5.-The power of
congress to prohibit the sending of
lottery tickets from one state to anoth-
err by other means than the mails was
passed on by the supreme court of the
United States. The question arose in

transmission of lottery tickets from
one state to another, being challenged.

why an thi, abuse Of the meek and

Why all this abuse Of the meek and
lowly mule? The mule is q faithful
worker, and no one can gainsay that
he sings contralto with fervor and
linked sweetness, long drawn outi"
Irving was a man who could appre-
ciate mule. and in his description of
the beautiful and skittish Sleepy Hol-
low we firmly believe mention of the
mule was omitted merely through over
sight! His muleship would have
looked well against a background of
tall foliage in the heart of the Hollow,
galloping like mad along the highway
where the unfortunate Ichabod met
his unseemly fate, or serenely poking
his nose over the barnyard fence at
the Van Tassel homestead! Somehow
we love mule. Considering the size
of his ears, his feet are so fanciful and
trim, his coat is so sleek and he is
patience on COMMUNICATING
for something to kick at! But we
can't blame the mule for kicking. The
city man kicks at the janitor, the
country man kicks at the calves in the
cabbage patch-and if your ears were
as long as mules you would kick
also-or anyone else you got chance
att
A mule will DO q hard days work,
be chummy all day and calm as Gu
cumber-just to get chance to put
out the glim Of the lantern when the
hired man makes his last round for
the night! At climbing mountains
and passing dangerous defles, the
mule is safety itself. His step is sure
and his delivery certain. Beware of
the delivery A mule would make a
good billiard player; he never misses
what he shoots at! When a mule
crooks his neck around, looks at you
out of those great, solemn eyes Of his,
shifts his tail slightly to one side as
woman does her skirt when she
changes hands to buy a newspaper,
begin to awaken your confidence.
When you see the mule throw his
weight on one leg and amass all his
strength for a string-halt movement,
toss confidence to the winds and
dodge-that is, if you have time. If
you haven't time it won't make any
difference an hour later, as a mule
always gets what he goes after, and
the handles on your coffin won't cost
any more now than they will in the
future when you fall into tunnel-ex-
plosion hole!
But for all that, we love the mule.
We love him, not for his kicking quail
tiles, but for himself alone. When
mere boy we heard mule sing for
the first timei Yes. we mean that.
If he had ever sung before he could
have done better that time. But some
how that vocal solo endeared us to
the singer, and We prefer behaving
any day to a phonograph. Some time,
when We become opulent and equity,
we are going to have beautiful home
in the suburbs beside the ripping
lake. There will be flowers and other
glad things in the front yard, but to
the rear will be located a weiner-
wurst smoke-house and an army mule
that can reach extra upper "C"i If
the fish don't bite then IL won't be our
