CARRIERS POOR WAGES.
Representative Hearst Sought to
Have Rural Service Condi-
tfonS BctterSd.

Rural letter carriers have lost their
fight 20 obtain adequate compensation
from the government. The Republic
an majority I'm congress has gone on
record in favor OF the measer allow
ance OF 500 month to rural carriers
who have TO buy and feed their own
horses and work every day I'm the year
I'm all kinds OF weather.
When the rural carriers went TO CON
gresS with their petition they found
but half a dozen active supporters. and
in the lead OF the fight FOR justice and
decent wages stood Representative
William Randolph Hearst OF New
York. Against the united opposition
TO a fair increase Mr.. Hearst and a
few fair minded Democrats sought TO
amend the postal appropriation bill
and give the carriers salaries common
surate with the service they perform.
Their efforts were frustrated by de
termined majority. The rural carriers
are now worse or than they were q
year ago. Their salaries have been in
creased 10 $40 year. but the privi-
lege to carry express and daily news
papers is taken away from them.

\ story which belongs 20 time sew

was a much sought after parsonage in
New York society is told by Mr.. James

This duke. contemptuously noting
the eagerneSS with which New York

habit OF going out To dinner without
troubling himself to put ON evening
dress. y lady had invited him &c din

ity ana was awaiting his arrival when
her butler opened the door and cast a
glance at her over the heads of inter
vening guests which said plainly that
something was wrong.
She FASTENED into the hall to End the
duke standing there clad in the checked
sack suit and flaming red tie which
had seemed to him good enough FOR

shippers. This woman. however. had
presence OF mind. and she advanced
upon him radiant and smiling.

him by the hand; Il won't accept any

Through the entire civil war General
Gordon's wife accompanied him. never

rushed to his side and carried him to

People are learning that con-
sumption is a durable disease.
1t is neglected consumption
{. ut is so often incurable.
At the faintest suspicion of
consumption get a bottle of
SCOTS Emulsion and begin
regular doses.
The use Of SCOTS Emulsion

Neglected consumption does

One day while on a hunting expedi-

an old woman gathering brambles. She
inquired of the stranger whether il
was true. as she had heard, that the
king was in the neighborhood. If so.
was there any chance of seeing him?
Yes" said his majesty, he is about.
Would you like to see hlm?"
The old woman declared that few
sights would give her more pleasure.
We'll, mother, am the king"
She stared at him for n moment and
broke into a grin.
Get out with you. jesterl Do you
think a nice woman like the queen
would marry chap like you, with
that hideous mug?"
The king was not offended. Per
haps the compliment to his wife mol
lifted him. He gave the woman a
piece of money. with which he was al
ways free. and passed along.
