MAKING TRIcoLoRED STAR.
A Pastime for Boys and Girls Which
Is Entertaining as Well as
Instructive.

Take sheet of cardboard-a calen-
dar, for instance-and bend it in the
median line. In one of the wings thus
obtained cut a four pointed star in
which two points are vertical and two
horizontal. Now bend back this wing
upon the other and take tracing of it
with pencil. Strike the center of the
star by the intersection of the diagonals.
This will be the center of new star
of the same size, but whose diagonal
makes an angle of As degrees with tho
first one. Having traced this new star,
cut it out carefully and place your
cardboard, as the illustration directs,

Delivering the Mails.

The letter carrier is the most oblig-
ing of men. He takes the greatest of
pains to get your letters to you at the
earliest possible moment, and with the
least trouble to you. But the men and
concerns who get the most mail go
after it themselves. Several of the big
concerns of the city keep heavy trucks
engaged in hauling their mail to and
from the post Office, and in some cases
one truck is not enough to accomplish
the task.
One big concern in the city receives
an average of more than $4,000 letters
each day. No one mail man could pos
sibly accomplish it, and two trucks are
kept busy at the task most of the time,
while two more carry the replies back
to the post Office.
If all the newspaper and periodical
mail was dropped into the letter and
would almost necessitate the doubling
of the collecting forces of the city. In
stead of doing it this way, however, the
various companies engaged in the print
| Ing and publishing lines, as we'll as tho
merchandising lines, keep their OWL
mail collecting wagons. and the rush is
so great that these wagons sometimes
have to stand for hours waiting theil
turn at the door of the post office.
Truly the Chicago post Office is {
wonderful institution, second to none
1t takes a business man and bushes!
methods to handle it, and at the presen
time it has both.

Five-Minute Peanut Candy.

Shell the peanuts and chop them fine.
Measure them in cup, and take the
same quantity of granulated sugar as
you have peanuts Put in pan on the
fire and shake until the sugar is dis
solved, then put in the peanuts and
pour into buttered tins You will find
that this is delicious candy and is so
easily made.

"L1TTLE SUNSHINE"

We call her Little Sunshine,
Though Martha is her name;
She's such happy, sunny tot, u
And every day the same.
She wakens in the morning
So joyous and SO bright.
She sings and laughs and prattles
From morning until night.
She cooks and sweeps and washes
Though only three years old.
Her dollies are her treasures,
Her cares cannot be told.
She makes the dull days brighter
Than any ever were.
She seems to love just every one.
And everyone loves her.

terS disclosed with MIR. Bristows report,
was made public today by Holmes Con-
rad, who has charge of the prosecution
of the so-called frauds in the postoffice
department.
The letter Is as follows:
White House, Washington, June "a, 1904
Sir: I am directed by the President to
say that your letter of the 18th inst. adj
dressed to him was received and referred
to the department of justice for inquiry
into the statements therein, and for such
report as the facts ascertained might APP
pear to require.
A report has been received from the the
department of justice and considered by
the President, who further directs me to
inform you that the facts disclosed in
such report abundantly confirms the views
as to your official conduct heretofore ex-
pressed by him in his message to con-
gress prepared after three indictments
had been presented against you by a
grand jury and warrant the action in
your removal from office, and do not al
low him to withdraw the expressions or
annul the action. The President natu-
ally shrinks from saying anything that
will diminish any comfort you may have
derived from the verdict of the jury, but
he Is advised that you were not tried for
the wrongdoing to which he referred, but
for conspiracy with Barrett to do the
wrong, which he Is advised is a wholly
different matter, as one may be guilty
of wrong and not guilty of conspiring to
do so. Yours respectfully,

Secretary to the President"

MANY DOPE FIENDS
In THE CITY JAIL
JUDGE FEAGlN Is AWAITING AN
OPPORTUNITY TO SEND THEM
TO THE COUNTRY, WHERE THEY
MAY BE CURED.

There are about dozen dope fends"
awaiting the opportunity to send them
TO the country where they will be away
from the EVIL influences of great city"
The "fends'' consist chiefly of negro
women who eat the deadly drug in large
amounts when they can secure it.
Several Of the "iends" have already
been sent to the country, and reports
from them are to the effect that they
are doing we'll and losing their desire for
the drug. Probably the worst "fiend'
the city ever held was sent away about
three weeks ago, and she is reported to
be prospecting in the country. She has
lost her desire for the drug now that she
cannot secure IL.
An effort will be made to send the en-
tire number in jail now to the country
next week. The number arrested Is grad
ually growing smaller and in a short
time Judge Feagin believes that he will
practically have gotten rid of the worst
ones who were always in the police court.
The same experience is being had with
these WON m as with the little negro
boys. At one time there were 200 boys
in the city who were in and out of jail
all the time. BY means of the probation
system the number of arrests of negro
boys has been reduced from about sixty
per month to three and four, and there
are now about 100 little negro boys en-
5oying happy homes In the country.

COUNTRYMEN SEE
FIRE DEPARTMENT.
ONE OF THEM SUGGESTS THAT 1T
is THE GoLDARNDEST CON-
TRAPTION HE EVER SEED-THE
ALARM SCARED THEM.

Four countrymen said to have come
from Blount county yesterday to see
Birmingham. furnished no little amuse-
ment for the flremen around station
No. l. In the city hall building last night.
The four, two men and two boys, ar
rived at the station about o'clock and
COMMENCED studying the apparatus. They
would go away ana remain several min
utes. but the attraction proved too strong
and they could not resist, so back they
would come.
A few minutes before o'clock at which
time every night a test alarm is made,
the countrymen were enticed inside the
station and they were collected around
the hose wagon when the gong tapped
and the horses came running for the
harness. One of the visitors bolted for
the front door and nearly broke a trace
chain which is stretched across the door
to keep the horses from running out.
Another Rugged the wall so close that
he looked flat as d pan cake.
One of the. older men Flowed he had
been round some hisself, and want
skeered of no hoss," and SO he stood
his ground. The fourth has not been seen
vet, and his whereabouts are unknown.
Before the alarm was turned in and while
they were examining the apparatus, one
of the countrymen remarked that it was
the "goldarned queerest contraptions he
ever seed when the had the harness
hitched to the Vaughn fore the horses
got therel"
