Brentwood Free Delivery.

Pecan Valley News
Brentwood is a city. of 1000
inhabitants, and with postofiice
receipts amply sufficient to secure
for her free mail delivery, but
she allows two small items to de-
bar her from the indulgence of
the luxury.
Brentwood has the reputation
of being very enterprlslng town.
but her citizens have displayed an
indifference in this matter not
at all in keeping with her reputa-
ton. Beyond u few attempts TO
induce the people to meet the
requirements nothing has been
accomplished
The city council having been
importuned to secure the nee
essary requirements, passed an
ordinance requiring property own
ers to build sidewalks, but the
ordinance has never been enforce
ed. Again they requested people
to number their houses, but it
seems no one thought seriously of
dong so.
Surely the citizens do not real
i2e how easily they can secure
free delivery and the benefits de-
rived from it.
The sidewalk question is not
such a task. There have been so
many walks built IN the last few
years that only few stretches TO
connect the walks in places are
necessary.
The other matter of numbering
houses is small thing. If there
is no other solution of the prob
lem, why not submit the matter
before the people and see If they
are willing to pay small amount
to defray the expense of having
their houses numbered.
People read what is written
about free delivery and are inter
ested while they read, but when
they put the paper down they lay
the matter aside and leave the
work of getting free delivery to
some one. else.
If you want Brentwood to
have free delivery urge the ques-
tion with the city councilman
who represents you and promise
him that you will do your part in
securing it. A small effort on
the part of each one will near
united effort and that means that
in a short time we will have what
we desire.
Postmaster Marshall Smith
when asked about this matter by
the News reporter said: 81 have
done everything possible to
interest the people and there il

obtaining free delivery. It's up

When Trains Would Not Sion.

M. +. De Mare suggests a system Of
operating railroads, particularly suit
able for those using electric power,
which will avoid the loss of time to
stoppageS to let off and take on pas
sengers. The train, which may be
drawn by any power, has attached
to the rear end car equipped with
motors, enabling it to attain a speed
somewhat above that of the train. Be-
fore approaching station, the pas
sengers and baggage intended for that
point are transferred to the rear car
The latter is then detached from the
train and brought to a stop at the
station, the train proceeding at full
speed. Passengers who wish to take
the train to other points are placed
on car similar to that detached from
the train. This stands on a side
track, and on the approach Of the
train gets under way. AS soon as
the train has passed the station, the
car proceeds out upon the track at
full speed, catches the train and is
coupled to it, transfers its passen-
gers to the train, and receives those
for the next stop, when the process
is epeated.-Electro.

A Record MO0se

Probably the largest moose ever
killed was shot in Alaska last sum-
mer by Lord Alphinstone and party
in the Kenai Peninsula The moose
weighed 1876 pounds and measured
seven and one-half feet to the top Of
his shoulders. The skull and horns
weighed seventy-fv pounds, but the
spread of the antlers is not known
definitely. The next largest moose
on the coast is one in the Parliament
Building, at Victoria, B. c., which
measures seven feet three inches in
height. The party are well satisfied
with their hunt, and brought out quite
a number Of trophies, which they prize
very highly. The English party was
beaten to Seldovia by Baron Paul
Neidick, who paid the agent of the
steamer Nome City $500 to be land
ed at Seldovia, where he could secure
the services OF John fitzpatrick ahead
Of the English party. He won the race
to the north, but the Alphinstone par
ty got the game.-Field and Stream.

An Advertising Monopoly.

My old friend Collier says: "One of
the neatest advertising monopolfes in
this country is epublicatio Of church
directories. You can't go into a hotel
anywhere without seeing on the wall
in conspicuous place, for the conve-
nience of guests, such directory
framed in walnut or oak. 1t is changed
annually and kept up to date. No one
has ever interfered with this monopoly.
I doubt if any one ever thought Of it.
Each church pays $40 year. There
are 100000 churches in the United
States, and if all were to pay $40 the
gross income would be 100000. AS
an actual fact, / am told that the two
Quakers who control this directory
business make $4,000 a year. A great

advertise. Victor Smith, in the New

SCARCITY or WHALEBoNE.
Inc Dcarth May Cause Higher Prices For
Substitutes.

Substitutes.
A rather startling para praph an
peared III London evening journal
recently, which, after conveying the
information that small shipment Of
whalebone had changed hands at a
fabulous figure, volunteered the state
ment that there were only four tons of
that precious commodity left on the
earth.
Inc solution is simple, and by no
means so fearful as it sounds. 1t is q
fact that the available supply is in
finitesimal, chiefly by reason Of the
fact that the Davis Straits, where the
whales congregate, have been ice
packed, and catches have. therefore,
been few and far between. Dundee,
at which town the raw bone is mar
keted, has been unable, on that ac-
count, to procure it's supplies, and the
two and one-half tons which recently
changed hands at $4,000 per ton may
be taken to indicate the market price
will go still higher.
There is, probably, a good deal more
than four tons in America the greater
portion of which, however, is consumed
at home. There still remains a small
quantity in Dundee. The trade. it
should be said, is in Europe exclusively
i'll the hands of two or three houses,
one or the other Of which will purchase
the supplies.
No further whalebone can be ex-
pected for many months, and it will be
November before the raw material can
be worked up. There are, however,
Still plenty of whales in the sea, which
may be relied upon to rise to the har-
poems with their accustomed alacrity.
The dearth OF the real article will IN
doubtedly encourage the use of sub
stitutes. on account of the high price
which bleachers have to pay, and the
consequent increase in retail values
The trade accepts the situation phile-
sOphically. Substitutes are used freely
in some directions. For some articles,
however, the real thing is always en-
ployed, noticeably in the case of the
"sWagger" military canes.

MENELIk A REAL MONARCH.
Abyssinian Rulers Chief Interest Lies
in Military Affairs.

ADySSinian Huler'S Chief interest Lies
in Military Affairs.
Menelik of Abyssinia is a man of
dark complexion, grizzled whiskers
and beard, pleasant smile and a
very determined jaw. The general
expression Is amiable and intelligent
and confirms the general opinion that
he Is the most iberal-minded and pro-
gressive man in his dominion.
He Is evidently not given up to
effeminate luxury, and the nearest
way to his heart Is said to be through
the latest invention in military weap
ons. He has thoroughly subjugated
the entire country and turned it from
mass OF petty tribes and chieftains
to united and powerful country In
which he holds undisputed sway.
The name of Menelik commands re-
spect to the uttermost end of his wide
dominions, and not leaf falls with
out his consent. His great aim has
been to get his country well armed
and ammunitioned and of war sup.

Fever That seldom Dies OUT.

Do you know there is such thing as
newspaper fever" and that it just
worms and burns it's way into a fell
lows system, and remains there as
long as life lasts? 1t is a fact. Men
who work around newspaper offices
know it to be true. They know it is
true not only to the men who work in
the business, but many others who
never happen to get into the business
at all. There is an old legend to the
effect that If man once takes the
Mississippi River water he will keep
coming back to the same old river, no
matter where he goes. It is the same
way in the newspaper business. Taste
it once and you nave got it in your sys-
tenn for good - New Orleans Times
