The Clergyman Got the Prize.

Buffalo Courier.
 A clergyman passing through village street saw q number of boys surround ing a dog Thinking that some cruel deed was in progress, the clergyman hastened toward the boys and asked what they were doing. One of the lads replied that they were telling lies. and the boy who told the biggest lie would get the dog The clergyman was shocked at such depravity, and began to lecture them on the sin of lying. and concluded his re- marks by saying: "Why. when I was a little boy 1 never told lies" Ghe boys were silent for a second. when one of them said, sadly, Hand him the dog"

THE PosToFF1cE AND PEOPLE.
Startling Facts About the Greatest of National Institutions.

I l In the November Worlds Work is in- | augurated a series of articles by NJ. G Cunniff on ''The Post office and the Peo- ' ple.''
 It is the purpose of these articles to tell | people. who need to know, the facts about | our postoffice with the hope of arousine | interest in the department of the Gov | ernment's business which most nearl,- | touches every citizen, to lead to real
 ization of its shortcomings, and to helr to secure Improvements which will put l the United States Postoffice service on a | par with the service of other civilized | lands, especially as regards the parcels | post. As the department is now conducted the following propositions are true: First-That the service is inadequate, and has made no material advance in a | decade, with the single exception of the
 rural free delivery system.
 Second-That the business of the Post
 office Department has been and is admin istered with great inefficiency, lack of economy and with no broad-gauged ap- preciation of the increased needs of the country That the Postmaster General i,
 a political appointee, and his chief as- sistants secure and hold their positions
 not because of their knowledge of the business or of their experience or famil- iarity with it. but for other reasons. IHlIu-l Hdl the pawn TOT the IranS-
 portation of the, mails is at practically
 the same rate as it was a score of years ago, while the cost of transporting other classes of matter has been reduced from one-third to- one-half.
 Fourth-That the service given to the public is in some ways even less liberal
 than it was ten years ago; that the trans actions with the department are fraught With increasing petty annoyances. espe. cially as regards second-class matter.
 Fifth-That the so-called frauds and scandals which have agitated the press of late are trifies compared with the greater loss and waste which are a daily burden upon Federal revenues.
 These and other matters will be dealt with in detail. It will be shown what for eign countries do for their citizens through the postal service and what our Government could do if it were freed from ancient traditions the influence of politics, vested interests and conflicting and archaic laws and rulings.

sAvAGEs' SENSE OF
 PREscIENcE
Nearly All Uncivilized People Gifted
 With Prophetic Instinct.

Those of us who have foregathered on | terms of intimacy with men of very debased standard of civilization-men who in fact, are as near to the folk of the Neollthic period as any now remain ing on this overcultivated, overtraveled earth--have often been forced to recognize that they possess some faculty which we, who have improved upon our beginnings. are able neither to exercise nor to under stand. T feel them"" says the Semang. the little Negrit of the jungle-smothered highlands of the Malay peninsula and thus explains In no illuminative fashion his power to detecting the presence of strangers when they are still far beyond the reach of sight or hearing or smell.
 Quite recently and not for the first time. attention has been called to the standing miracle which men name the native telegraph Most people who have lived much among brown. black or yellow folk have known instances of the extraordinarily rapid dissemination of news. usually of calamitous character, in a country where no means of speedy communication were available. Does some native feel" the shock of the event just as the Semang feels" the presence of the alien in his deep jungle strong holds? To me 1t seems that this must be so, that one or more natives. in whose
 
 repose confidence. experience in an inten- slfied form what we less sentive Euro peans call a presentiment and putting two and two together, hazard a prophecy which nine times out of ten proves to be curiously near the truth.
 This sounds a simple explanation, be- cause a 'presentment" fig something which comes within the experience of most white men. but the native prophecy of evil differs from that of the European in that 1t is more often right than wrong What 1t comes to, then, Is this: The primitive Semang says frankly that he feels that which, according to all known laws, it is quite imp )ssible that he should feel; the Kaffir of the weld or the native of our eastern bazaars "feels'' dis tant happenings also. and by means of a similar faculty, but his somewhat higher civilization tends to blunt the acuteness of his perceptions and gives him but d scant grasp of detail; the white man, more insentitive still, feels only very vague ly. and often, 1t should be noted without sufficient cause. Have we not in this at any rate the hint of faculty, dulled by disuse or sharpened by constant and prolonged employment, but which must. none the less. be recognized as actually extant and capable, 1t may be, of i'm mense development?

An Emperor of Peddlers

The recent death of Napoleon Hayard, Emperor" of Parsian street peddIers. inspires T. P.'s Weekly to print a sketch of his strange career. He had been a soldier in Poland and Italy as well as France, and became prominent in the commune His sword was not like any one else's; it was yataghan, covered with mock jewels. and he carried it round his neck In his vivid red sash he carried two enormous pistols that could not fire a shot. At the close of his soldering Ha- yard was penniless in Paris and became a street merchant. He was offered a little newspaper agency. and fell into a groove for which he was best suited. Hayard turned out ballads which sold like wild fire. He put topical toys in the market that made Paris laugh. He organized a claque for the dramatist or a demon- stration for the politician with equal fla cillty and expedition. His jocOse verses were being hummed by every cue half an hour after being written. The bouleVards are still echoing his verses on Mime. Hum bert, beginning An pauvre Theressa. :" The Parisian street vendors will miss their friend and protector. His last words as he lay dying were: Thank God, 1t can never he said I was a sweater,'
