The class Of business men who are
supposed to be the most directly hurt
by the rural free delivery system are
the country merchants. Through the
operation Of the system they are said
to be more than ever exposed to the
competition of the mail order houses
and they declare that in many sec
tions the farmers have stopped COM
ing to town to buy since the estab-
lishment of the free delivery routes.
This, of course, reacts OH the jobbers
and wholesalers in the large cities
and HE result is that the trade Of
both city and country has suffered
severely.

FALSE ALARM.

The Havre Fire department. took
its first real run last evening, when
the fire alarm called it to the hose
house in jig time. People were run
ming in all directions to locate the
con1lagration and followed the tiremen
down Second street, where a bonfire
had been lit to receive the boys. The
boys made a good run and saved a
few nails from the ruins, but were
considerably hampered by the crowd
which lined the streets, waiting to
get bearings as to the location of the
fire.
The object of sounding the alarm
was to familiarize the citizens With
the new fire alarm adopted BY the
city and to give the boys a genuine
practice run, which was done remark
ably we'll, considering it. was their
first attempt.

WILL FIGHT RURAL DELIVERY.

A concerted movement against the
continuance of the rural mail deliy-
cry system in its present character
has been started by organizations of
business men and merchants all over
the country, says Fourth Estate. The
men in these organizations will pro-
test TO congress against the extension
OF the present system and will adyo-
cate the curtailment along sweeping
lines.
1t is understood that the system
has never been pronouncedly popular
with business men and opposition
against it has become more pro-
nounced than ever recently OH ac-
count of the exposure of some of the
uses to which it has been put, and es-
pacially since the publication of POST

The cost Of the extensions authorized

ONCE A YEAR.

Though Christmas comes each year,
it means too much ever to be stale.
In religion, it celebrates the best part
Of the Christian faith, new JOY that
came into the world. AS holiday.
it is the season of expansion, gener-
osity, leading others lives. Cold rea-
son would say that the best time for
making gifts was when necessity
called, opportunity invited, rimpulse
urged, but Christmas throws reason
to the winds and opens the arms Of
faith and profusion once each year.
The shops are loaded with grotesque
little human beings JOY. Many a
poor soul pinches for the sake Of do
mating some token Of its love, and is,
perhaps, the better for the sacrifice.
Wear this for me, no words mean
more, and Of all gifts, as the Amer
ican genius said, the best is a portion
Of thyself. Therefore, the poet
brings his poem; the shepherd his
lanb; the farmer, corn; the miner, a
gem; the sailor, coral and shells; the
painter, his picture; the girl, hand
kerchief OF her own painting Alas
Tor us, who can give only what we
buy; and yet even that carries our
emotion, for it is chosen lovingly.
Certainly the principle of the widows
mite holds true in Christmas giving
us in charity, for all depends upon
what it means to the giyer Who has
not been moved by receiving the trib-
ute of a child--a bit of paper, tooth
OF curl--comic or pathetic-in way
that he could be touched by no care
essl J moving CrNsus? SO no wagon
load OF city roses can carry the per-
fume Of the heart as it is borne by
blossoms which the giyer's hand has
culled or his slender purse has shrunk
TO buy. Christmas, the season of CIV
ing and rejoicing, helps us all to part
OF the spirit after which the day is
named; the child with his joy, the
rest of us with charity and the love
Of man. How few are a hundred
Christmases in one life

Character our Immigrants.

Prior to 1880 the nations of western
Europe, Great Britain, Germany and
the Scandinavian countries furnished
over so per cent of all our Immigrants,
the highest class that we could hope
for. Hungary. Italy, Poland and the
other countries Of eastern Europe fur
nished less than ! per cent From 1851
to 1890 the ratios changed slightly but
stu western Europeans were greatly
In the majority. From Germany alone
we drew 100000 citizens inside OF 10
years. Lately conditions have chang
ed. Eastern Europeans and Aslatics
send us 10 per cent of our immigrants
(so-called Europeans), while western
Europe sends us but "A per cent. In
1901, for instance, Ausuo-HunsarlanS'
Sloyaks, Crontians. Poles and Magyars
TO the number of ll4,0O0 came IN, while
1875 900 Italians honored us with their
transfer of allegiance In July OF
this year 1888 people Of all nations
,mmigrated into this country.

friends, for to me there could not be a
more fascinating personality. She was
not beautiful, she was not even pretty,
but she was one of those mercurial be-
ings whose very changefulness is more
attractive than mere perfection of fea
ture. She had way of relating the
most trivial incident that compelled at
tention, her manner of relating anec-
dotes was inimitable and about her
there was ever a quality of efferves-
cence and sparkle rarely found even
in the women of the Latin race. She
had been widow for half dozen
years, she told me, and although rich
In the worlds goods she cared nothing
for society and never had belonged
TO woman's club. Most of us have
a favorite pasHme, however, and Mrs.
Herberts ruling passion was the thea
ter She saw every reasonably good
troupe that came to Chicago, attend
ing the play about four evenings u
week, upon which occasions she usual
ly was attended by her brother,
quiet, pale young man with a wooden
expression. She had told me but little
of her past, and | decided in my own
mind that she had been brought up In
quiet country town where the de-
lights of the theater were unknown,
and that she was now bent upon graft
flying an inordlnate taste for the
drama.
Mrs. Herbert came to my rooms one
evening just as l had finished writing
my club paper, which at her request
| read to her. Seated on a low In
dian stool, with her soft draperies bill
lowing about her and with her slen-
der hands clasped about her knees, she
listened intently, her earnest eyes fixed
upon my face. But when | had fin
ished | noticed that her straight brows
were puckered into slight frown.
ut is very interesting" she said,
slowly, but, my dear woman, you
would ruin the finest literary produc-
ton ever born in mortal brain by the
rat-tat-tat way in which you read it.
Now, those anecdotes would be thrill
Ing, positively thrilling, II properly re-
lated, but under your treatment they
become commonplace"

Driving the Grizzly West.

In the days of Kit Carson the griz-
zly had not learned to look upon man
as foe TO be stunned at any cost, but
the quick firing magazine rifle has
taught him that If he possibly can he
must keep out of mans sight. He has
now been driven back into the almost
inaccessible solitudes of the northwest
ern Rocky Mountains, and the sports
man who wishes to add his pelt and
dangling necklace of claws to his col
lection of hunting trophies must travel

introduced her by name"
Very well. Good-by." Even she
is mixed up In this silly business, l
thought, with disgust, as l hung up
the receiver.
The afternoon mail brought letter
from my husband, which made me
wonder if l were going mad. You
know 1t by this time of course" he
wrote, land | know that you have a
choice rod in pickle for me. You see,
| left in such hurry. Usually, you
know, | am not bad fellow at re
membering things, but l laid your es-
say on the hall table and never
thought of it again until Ave minutes
ago.
His letter dropped from my hand as
| rushed to the hall There on the
table lay my manuscript, where he
had left it. Then 1t had not been read
at the club, which was the cause of
all this joking But the daily papers
declared that it had been read and
more than one of them had given a
synopsis of 1t. What was the expla
nation of this mystery Could it be
that my otherself the fetch and ghost
of me, had read the paper and, judg
Ing from the commendatory remarks
of my friends, had acquitted itself
better than my corporeal self could
have done? An examination of the

club and had performed my expected
duty. For some inscrutable reason |

early hour How lucky it was that |

had it been altogether correct? A
dreadful suspicion took possession of
me that | must have worn a certain

Browning's Modessy.

The only son of Robert Browning
and his illustrious wife was diligent
art student when he grew to manhood.
He was believed to have promising
career, but once when the father was
showing friend some of her sons pic
lures. he expressed fear that he
might suffer from the high hopes buik
upon him.
He is placed at disadvantage"
said Browning. Then he explained fur
ther, in phrase as modest as any ever
uttered by great man:
People expect much from him, you
see, because he had such clever
mother"
