The First Post Office.

In 1858, early in the reign of Louis
XIV, NJ. de Velayer ablished a
private penny post. Boxes were set
up at the street corners for the re-
ception of letters. Offices were
opened in various quarters of Paris;
collections were made once day
from the street boxes, followed
many hours later by a single deliv-
cry and thus the first post office in
the world was established. NJ. de
Velayer was so greatly encouraged
by the success of his enterprise that
in order to develop it still further he
printed certain forms of billets or
notes which were intended to cover
all the ordinary requirements of
business in great towns. These forms
contained blanks which were intend
ed to be filled up by the pen with
such special matter as might be nee
essary to complete the writer's OBJ
ject. The idea at once became popu-
lar, and the printed forms accompa-
MED the expansion of the postal serv-
ice throughout the larger cities of
France, and it was many years be-
fore they fell into DEMONSTRATING
ton Star.

PLAY AND PIE
Both Good. but II Isn't Wise to Make
a Meal Of Either

Of course all this is going to take so
have very wide margin left for golf
especially in the afternoons. | simply
mention this in passing, because | see
IN the Chicago papers which have been
sent me that you were among the play
ers on the links one afternoon fort
night ago. Colts a nice, foolish game
and there amt any harm in it so far as
l know except for the balls-the stiff
balls at the beginning, the lost balls in
the middle and the highballs at the end
of the game. But a young fellow who
wants to be boss butcher hasn't
much daylight to waste on any kind of
links except sausage links.
OF course man should have a GER
tain amount of play, Just as boy is
entitled to a piece of pie at the end of
his dinner. but he don't want TO make
meal of it. Any one who lets sinkers
take the place of bread and meat gets
bilious pretty young. and these fellows
who haven't any job except to blow the
old mans dollars are a good deal like
the little niggers in the pie eating con-
test at the county fair-they've a-plen-
ty Of pastry and they're attracting a
heap of attention, but they've got a
stomach ache coming to them by and
by.-From Letters From Self Made

BOYS AND PUPS
Sometimes the Likely Ones Turn Out
Disappointinsly

Boys are good deal like the pups
that fellows sell on street corners
they don't always turn out as repre-
scented. You buy a likely setter pup
and raise a spotted coach dog from it,
and the promising son of an honest
butcher Is just as like as not to turn
out a poet or a professor. l want to
say in passing that | have no real
prejudice against poets, but l believe
that If you're going to be a Milton
there's nothing like being a mute, in
glorious one, as some fellow who was
little sore on the poetry business
once put it. OF course a packer who
understands something about the YER
satility of cottonseed oil need never
turn down orders for lard because the
run of hogs is light, and father who
understands human nature can turn
out an imitation parson from boy
whom the Lord intended to go on the
board of trade. But on general prln-
ciples it's best to give your cottonseed
oil a Latin name and to market 1t on
Its merits and to let your boy follow
his bent, even If it leads him into the
wheat pit.-From Letters From a
Self Made Merchant to His Son." by
George Horace Lorimer

Il always thought it PAID to be polite
until l got into this business" re-
marked prosperous retail butcher,
but | find that it costs me about $25
a year. My trade is with nice people,
and when fashionable women come
into the shop | have to tip my hat to
them. A butchers fingers are always
more or less greasy from handling the
meat, and in about month new hat
is no longer fit TO wear. Grease is
about the only thing that won't come

Nervous exhaustion and liver trouble so
ahected my wifes health that she was greatly
run down; neuralgia of the heart set in and
LOT long time she was very close to the Dor
DER line OF LIE and death. She was attended
by two good physicians, who did all they
could Tor her, but in spite of everything she
grew worse right along. One day saw an
advertisement of DR.. Miles Nervine and
New Heart Cure, and the doctors explana-
t;on OF the effects of nervous trouble upon
the heart seemed SO logical that decided to
give the remedies trial. We now know
that the stomach and liver troubles were part
OF the heart weakness. She improved won
derfully at once. Her appetite picked up.
she slept well at n ght and the pain around
her heart rapidly disappeared. Thanks DR..

"OLD GORGON"
ON COLLEGES
They Make Neither Fools Nor Bright
Men-They Develop Them
From Letters From q Self Made 1Mer-
chant to His SON." bv George
Horace IOrirncr

Dear Pierrepont-Yourm ma got back
safe this morning, and she wants me
to be sure TO tell you not to overstudy,
and l want to tell you to be sure not
to understudy. What we're really
sending you to Harvard for is to get a
little of the education that's so good
and plenty there. When it's passed
around you don't want to be bashful,
but reach right out and take big
helping every time, for l want you to
get your share. You'll find that edu-
cations about the only thing lying
around loose in this world and that it's
about the only thing a fellow can have
as much of as he's willing to haul
away. Everything else is screwed
down tight and the screwdriver lost.
I'm anxious that you should be a
that you should be a good, clean man.
And If you graduate with a sound con-
science l shan't care so much If there
are a few holes in your Latin. There
are two parts of college education
the part that you get in the schoolroom
from the professors and the part that
you get outside of 1t from the boys.
That's the really important part, for
the first can only make you scholar,
while the second can make you a man.
Education is a good deal like eating
"a fellow can't always tell which par
ticular thing did him good, but he can
usually tell which one did him harm.
Of OF ND
vegetables and mince pie and water
melon you can't say just which ingre-
dent is going into muscle, but you
don't have to be very bright to figure
out which one started the demand for
pain killer in your insides or to guess
next morning which one made you be-
lieve in personal devil the night be-
fore. And so while fellow can't fig
ure out to an ounce whether it's Latin
or algebra or history or what among
the solids that is building him up in
this place or that, he can go right
along feeding them in and betting
that they're not the things that turn
his tongue fuzzy.
Does a college education pay? Does
it pay to feed in pork trimmings at 3
cents pound at the hopper and draw
out nice, cunning little country" sau-
sages at 20 cents a pound at the other
end? Does it pay to take a steer that's
been running loose on the range and
living on cactus and petrified wood
till he's just bunch of barbed wire
and sole leather and feed him corn till
he's just solid hunk of porterhouse
steak and Oleo oil?
You bet it pays. Anything extra that
trains boy to think and to think
quick pays. Anything that teaches a
boy to get the answer before the other
fellow gets through biting the pencil
pays.
College doesn't make fools. 1t de-
velops them. 1t doesn't make bright
men. 1t develops them. A fool will
turn out fool whether he goes to
college or not, though he'll probably
turn out different sort of a fool.

Mr.. Amateis' success is all the more
noteworthy and locally interesting from
the fact that his design came into COM
petition with those of many other promi-

at Nineteenth Street and Riggs Place
northwest, he has at present only pho
tograph of the sketch model which won
the appreciation of the judges. but IL
fully shows the beauty of the proposed
monument.

=
rior typifying the fighting spirit OF the
South In the Lost Cause The figure
is not depicted as representing any spe-
cal branch of the military service, but
is first and foremost noteworthy IN the
desperate, unyielding tone OF the indi-
viduaI.
Wounded in the forehead, with head
swathed in the best possible way in a
hurry, the fighter seems pressing for
ward. His sword is broken. but still
clenched in hand. while the other arm
holds the colors in firm grasp. At his
feet are dismantled guns, representing
the end of the actual carnage, while the
general appearance of the monument is
to bear out the inscription on the rough
base: Gloria VictoriGs.' The grasp OF
the subject and the technical devel-
opment Of the idea have evoked much
favorable comment from those persons
who have seen the scketch OF the new
monument
